Rush Espresso - Northern Lights
709 W Northern Lights Blvd, Anchorage, AK
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Anchorage, Rush Espresso focuses on dialed-in espresso drinks and creative seasonal specialties that they showcase monthly on Instagram, so you know what flavor adventure awaits before you arrive. While their breakfast burritos are generously stuffed and the espresso pulls are notably clean and balanced—a rarity that regulars genuinely appreciate—the shop has faced some inconsistency with food quality and service reliability that seems to depend on when you visit.”

I really miss Rush when it was the purple building. It was a spot for quick breakfast , coffee and smoothies. Now it is not the place to go. My smoothie was watered down because it was being blended for too long. I’m guessing the blades got hot … My two ham and cheese croissants for my employees were hard because they were cooked for too long.. and that I don’t understand because they were cold when I got them .. Quickest way to blow $25 They want you to pay for it and tip them before you even look at anything that you have purchased. It took 20 min so Although there was nobody behind me, I was not going back, but I do want my $25 back and tip Thanks!
Lazy people. DoorDash order was canceled due to who knows what even though what I ordered are basic coffee shop staples. Due to this I wasn’t able to get a full refund plus the time wasted ordering. If certain items aren’t available, they really should be removed from the DoorDash menu instead of canceling orders after they’re placed. I’ve also noticed similar feedback from other customers, which makes the experience feel inconsistent. If DoorDash orders aren’t something the business wants to fulfill, it might be better not to offer the service at all. Disappointing experience overall.
Fantastic place. Ordered a breve and a burrito, with all the add-ons it was ~$16, before the tip. The coffee was good, the espressl didnt taste burnt or sour, so good dialed espresso, which is rare, this is most important to me. The burrito is home made, so not pre bought stuff. I got the salmon add-on and it was great. I asked for salsa and sour cream, and they put inside, not outside like many others, which is a huge win for me. Good fast service.
I bought a breakfast burrito and they put burnt potatoes in my burrito. Spoke to the owner and she said “it is easy to get a refund through DoorDash” but DoorDash only gave me 5$ and she didn’t offer a refund either. Honestly who adds burnt ingredients like that? Im very disappointed.
i love their speciality coffees!! their instagram is updated with the flavors of the month which is so helpful, i appreciate being able to look before i go. the breakfast burritos are always full and amazing 🤩 they reheat nicely too
