I loved their delicious chocolate muffin and their ice cream in a small bowl Best treats to have when you stop by for a cup of coffee with a chocolate muffin. read more

Terrible service, ice cream was like eating gum. Very unfriendly staff and overpriced for a mountain town.

Nice place, tasty sandwiches. The server was really nice to chat with. Great service. Small town charm. A mix of good food items. We will be back! read more

Such a delicious variety of things to eat here, but the people working here are everything! I got a history lesson on the town by a beautiful older lady that was born and raised in town and got some fishing spots and tips from her grandson. Always loved this town but the people are what's best about everything here. read more

The server had a rude attitude. Female. Talked down to a few of us. If I could leave zero stars, that would be more fitting. Fathers Day opening shift. read more

Best food we had while in town. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing (downieville classic?) and the ice cream was good on a hot day too.

great service, and fantastic food and ice cream! very good place to stop and get lunch and sit on the porch.

This cafe, restaurant, ice cream shop, store has the best location in town. The cutest atmosphere full of great energy and style. Plus the food drinks and ice cream are amazing. I met the owner and lots of staff while we were in town for the week and every one of them were kind and helpful. So excited to come back next year. Thank you for all you do for the town. read more

Excellent service & quality goods. Forgot decaf coffee and they not only sold us a pound but also ground it for us. Highly recommend.

On our way to an Underground Gold Mine, there was an ice cream shop so cute and divine. In the city of Downieville of all places where peeps had friendly faces. The lady at Cold Rush was so sweet and jolly She let us have many samples - oh golly! All the flavors were so yummy! We shared two scoops - I'm no dummy! Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter OOh my eyes started to flutter So creamy and delicious I became almost capricious The girls shared two scoops as well. Were they in a spell? Yes, this review is pretty lame But wouldn't you feel the same? If there's nothing much to say but it makes you happy and gay? read more

Stopped in for a cup of fresh brewed tea and was thrilled to discover their expansion into groceries. Not just any groceries, really yummy stuff.

I will definitely be back! read more

Cold Rush Cafe - Michelle was so awesome and kind to us. We will be coming back just to see her.. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Downieville, California

My friend and I stopped in for a drink on our way through town and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We were met by two of the loveliest people, who made our experience a 10/10. Therese made me the perfect cup of vanilla tea (I love that she set a timer so it didn't steep for too long and get bitter!) and David provided the best entertainment with his movie quotes and music. It was such a good time, we wish we could've stayed and hung out with them all afternoon! read more

Was thrilled to hear about their new mobile tea party service. What a joyous time! Very sweet setup and tasty food. Terese and Isabella were wonderful to work with, they thought of everything-with great detail. All we had to do is show-up. Definitely made the party a snap for this hostess! read more

Best ice cream in town! Had 2 scoops. It's amazing. Amber, Elliot and Kevin were all fun and lively and engaging. I'm looking forward to coming back! Thanks for great service and small town vibes! read more

Excellent ice cream - they feature 3 different vendors which is very unusual for a small ice cream parlor. I had the delightful opportunity to try the Tillamook Vanilla and I would almost drive back, just to have this ice cream again - I'm an ice cream snob and this was ever better than Haagen Dazs! They also serve coffee, espresso and gourmet sandwiches and they're attached to a small gift shop with clothing and edible delicacies. read more

Michelle was amazing and full of history of the town! Coffee is great, ice cream is a must! Make sure to stop by when you're in town!

Came here twice during the downieville classic. Got my girls ice cream and we also got the rushies! Sooo yummy and refreshing! It was a super hot crowded weekend and Michelle and Abigail were both SO sweet and accommodating! I HIGHLY recommend a stop here! Sweet people, sweet treats!!! Thanks so much for the FABULOUS service! read more

Thanks to Kevin, David, and Michelle! They took care of us over multiple days!! Thanks for the downieville classic and the bagels along with that "blue sky" med brew!! Oh man you changed the game with that heavy whipping cream. Thank you again! read more

The best people you'll ever meet ! Green tea lattes , iced mochas, ice cream, avocado toast... Oh yes cheese ??! you got to go to the back area into the other store and try some of the most delicious cheeses And they have just about anything you need. Or if you're looking for bottles of wine the Boomtown lounge has you covered! read more

Very friendly staff and clean space. Michelle made me the best coffee milkshake of my life!

Not only was the service quick, everything was over the top DELICIOUS! My mom and I loved the food and drinks. I LOVED the iced kiwi-strawberry rush tea. And my mom loved the chai latte. We'd definitely recommend coming here if your around! Michelle was so nice. You are lucky if she gets to serve you! read more

Yes I have decided this is THE BEST ICED GREEN TEA LATTE - ohhh and Affogato YUM ! Don't even get me started on the mocha seriously don't!!! If you need caffeine you can 100% get it here ! But guess what that's not all... Were you at Boone town and grabbed a bottle of wine? And now you're wishing you had a delicious Gouda, maybe some gourmet crackers perhaps to create a nice charcuterie board to go with your wine? Let me Telya they got you! You would totally find that in the little store they've gotten the back it's awesome, and if you happen to forget I don't know your shampoo conditioner soap other amenities they've got you covered there too. And don't worry perhaps you forgot your toothbrush and toothpaste? 100% Gotchu!!! Maybe you fell on the river and didn't bring the extra clothes? No worries put on a nice fresh dry shirt T-shirt maybe a sweatshirt maybe not now it's kinda hot right now but in a few weeks you're gonna be wishing you had a sweatshirt just saying!!! Anyhow I can go on and on just trust me the people are awesome they have it all you'll see!! read more

The store is cute with fun little things to browse and buy and the people were very nice bit might i suggest you don't sell coffee if you cannot make it at that time. Just say you don't have it. Ended up with a massive cup of warm milk and barely could taste any coffee in my double cappuccino. read more

Michelle is the best! so gracious and friendly! The dirty iced chai is fantastic! What a clean refreshing stop this cafe is

Friendly coffee spot that was open during slow season (not summer). Also serve iced cream which would be great during summer with both rivers access just steps away. read more

Michelle is the best, I would come back just to hangout with her.. Very happy vibe in there! Make sure you go to the store in the back and look at the stickers. read more

While in Downieville, you could not make a better choice. Went there for lunch one day, and was very pleasantly surprised. We had the tuna wrap, which was gourmet quality and an excellent grilled cheese panini. The service was super friendly, and they even threw in a free bad of chips. Everything was far better than you would expect in such a remote location. read more

EVERYONE HERE IS SO NICE!!!!!! The coffee is so great! Some of the flavors are so unique and tasty. If you are in town I would definitely stop for a tasty treat. read more

Waited for our to go sandwiches for over 30 mins, while people who came in after us got their sandwiches before us. and the prices for coffee are way too much for what it is, my latte did not taste like I paid $8 for it :/ read more
