Steve Commeau, the owner of Java Rush, purchased the business three years ago to sell real estate. “Java Rush was an established business with an 8-year customer base in a great location. As a realtor, I found that a coffee shop was the perfect place to meet people and sell real estate.”
Like most coffee shops in town, you can get your favorite Cup o’ Joe–but the big difference – as Steve points out, “We’ll make whatever you want, if we don’t have it on the menu, we’ll go out of our way to make it.” Steve laughed about the early days, “I knew nothing about making coffee: our coffee wasn’t that great, but our customers stuck with us, and now I think we serve the best hot and cold beverages in town.” Coffee lovers of all ages enjoy the ambiance of the shop, especially the monthly rotation of local artists and photographers. February features the contemporary fine art of local artist, Janet E. McIntyre.
“We started out making coffee for customers, and ended up making the best drinks possible for our loyal base of customers we now call friends.” What’s The Rush?: A great place for Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte, teas and blended drinks with a variety of bagels, muffins, cookies, soups and grilled Panini sandwiches to round out the menu. Java Rush is located at Smiths Shopping Plaza at 2231 McCulloch Blvd.
