History
Rush Espresso got its start in the '80s as Bad Ass Coffee. It went through a number of hands over the years until Kurt Stenehjem purchased it in 2012. Of Norwegian decent Kurt wanted to bring a new and innovative twist to the drive-up coffee experience. We serve the finest espresso, we build fresh burritos to your order as well as other breakfast items. Come check out our Lefse, Norwegian Potato Flat Bread, smeared with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar.
Specialties
Perfect Coffee, Great Service, Fabulous Food. So much more than a drive-up coffee shop. We have over 100 flavors, we make our own burritos fresh while you wait. We serve fresh, warm Lefse, for Pete's sake. Come try our Rush Nitro energy drink, our home made Green Chili Cheesy Egg Bites. We are famous for our fresh brewed Thai Iced Tea, Italian Sodas, Smoothies. We are always cooking up something fabulous. We would love to see you.
