I can't speak to how good the coffee is or not. This review is strictly about the service. This place is extremely slow. I was here a couple of days after Christmas,, and there was only one car in front of me in line. I waited and waited and waited, almost 10 minutes and nothing happening. I just left. Today, I was back in town, I was on Broadway, and so to be fair, I wanted to give them another shot. Again, there was only one car in front of me. At one point, she opened the window, and handed them a drink. It looked like she was making the drinks one at a time. At about the 10 minute mark, I honked my horn to let them know that I was waiting. The lady stuck her head out the window, looked at me, and I politely said, I've been in line almost 10 minutes. She didn't say I'm sorry, she didn't say I'll be right with you,, she just gave me a dirty look, and pulled her head back in the window. Once again, I left. Instead, I went over to jitter bean on Harris across the street from Safeway. There, I was behind three other cars, and even with three cars in front of me, I waited less than 10 minutes. At one point, one of the employees actually came out to the line, asked me what I wanted, took my reusable mug inside and then when I got to the window, my drink was ready. That's the way these places should be doing things. Sorry Gold, Rush, in this case, two strikes and you're out. . There are too many other coffee places in town that I can go to. Thanks anyway. read more

Green Rush Cannabis I have gone twice now and i have found the service to be great very helpful and gracious whether i'm getting top grade or most for money. I think the place needs to change it name to "Wake and Bake". It more suitable lol. Keep up the great work read more

First off the building design is super cool, that's what caught our eye from the street. But it's not just a cool building, they're roasting up some great coffee too! We ordered a medium and a dark roast coffee and they were both roasty and delicious. The girls behind the counter were cranking out orders for the drive thru line the whole time we were there. The line never stopped! Even though they were busy with the drive thru they still delivered stellar service inside as well. read more

Allow me to save you both time and money. The coffee was nothing special, so there's no gold there. I had no idea it was possible for a drive through to feel awkward in the surrounding environment. If I could, it would be 0 stars. I guess that's why it's called Gold Rush because I could not wait to rush out of that driveway. read more

Gold rush crusher for the win! I came here everyday we were visiting! The coffee is amazing! The people working are full of good vibes! Must stop here! Drive thru makes it easy and fast! read more

I wont go back. I was once a regular weekly customer on my way through town. Their bagels and drinks used to be the best.. Last Friday I drove through because my kid wanted a bagel. I got a plain bagel with cream cheese and GF toast with crem cheese. Waited ten minutes with no other cars at the window, to be charged $17! for them and then got completely cold and untoasted items. Was a frequent customer but after my recent experiences between wrong drinks, overpriced and low quality, I wont go back. read more

Hate to say but, all good things come to an end... It's just sad :,(. This WAS my favorite coffee shop, and now it's a new face every time.. Along with each turnover there seems to be less and less camaraderie and it's very much showing in the quality.. read more

The only way this place can improve is if it's sold.. Coffee is overpriced with the root of the problem being poor management, the owners underpay loyal employees and fire/promote all the wrong people to name a few things. Recent "construction" on the building is a major downgrade, it's now just a big sad block of concrete. Also I'm no businessman, but poor business decisions being made all round, merging a coffee shop and dispensary is one of the dumbest ideas ever conceived. Don't get me wrong I love both things, but seriously how many more coffee shops and dispos does Eureka need. read more

Very very impressed - great coffee. Great service. Will be back! glad to find such a spot in my new home town!

I happened to be by the area and my brother recommended we try this. Super nice service and drive through. Loved the experience. I tried this blended matcha drink that tasted like a smoothie. Overall pretty good but I should have asked for half sweetened. I also ordered a salmon bagel and that was 1938382% so good!!! read more

On our trip to search for Big Foot we found this amazing place Instead. The cool industrial exterior design caught our eye. So we made a U turn. So glad we did!! We got the Mexican Mocha with oat milk and a Dirty Chai. Also ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel with peppered Turkey. Everything was fresh and delicious!! The drinks were the perfect balance of flavors. Not overwhelmingly sugary like those chain drinks. We could taste the spices of the Mexican chocolate and the Chai along with the coffee flavor. Our bagels and drinks didn't last long. Gone before we made it out of Eureka!! Might make another Uturn haha read more

I have been purchasing both coffee and breakfast croissants for years and this is the first time I have come away very disappointed! I ordered my usual turkey croissant with swiss cheese and added Larrupin's sauce topping for $11. The meat was half the serving size and I could barely find the swiss cheese and Larrupin's sauce. I last ordered in the Fall 2024 and the sandwhich was so much better! I know we have hit economically hard times, but this breakfast was NOT worth the cost and was substandard in quality. I am not sure I will go back!! Very Disappointing!!! read more

I don't know why I had never stopped here before. This place is the best local drive-through coffee shop I have been to. They have a great menu with an excellent selection of breakfast and lunch items. Along with all kinds of yummy drinks. The price is affordable the service ultra friendly, and it is relatively fast for the quality that you receive. This has become my go to as I drive through Eureka. I will admit I patroned the local local big chain establishments prior to finding gold rush. But no longer! I definitely want to support this cool local business that definitely feels like Humboldt. read more

Almost didn't patronize based on the prior reviews but decided to make my own assessment and motored down from Arcata. Approached the experience with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. Used drive thru and the barista was cheerful, helpful, and patient. Didn't wait longer than any other drive thru. Drink made to order and I appreciate the 24oz (3shots) size which is not readily available. (And I don't do Starbucks or Dutch bros). Offered me a rewards card that I gladly accepted and will be back soon. Pleased to find another locally owned coffee spot. read more

Needed a Saturday morning pick-me-up before a long drive and decided to try the nearby Gold Rush instead of my usual Dutch Bros. The line was long and fully wrapped around the building, but I wanted to see what the buzz was about. For some reason, the person taking the orders couldn't hear anyone through the speaker and had to come out of the booth to take my order. After a 30 minute wait from pulling in to driving away, I got my iced oat milk latte. It was pretty good, but 30 minutes good? Definitely not. Also, be sure to know if you want one or two shots of espresso before you order. Apparently this is a thing they ask here and expected me to know. Like is two shots more than one shot in price? What's normal in a small? I don't know these things, I just give you the money, you give me the coffee, end of story! Why does ordering coffee feel like a grade school exam? They did have a treat for my dog so that was a little bonus point. Anyways, if the line is wrapped around the building and almost overflowing into PCH, you are better off skipping it. Maybe if they fix their speaker comms the line will move faster... read more

I always get a bagel with cream cheese, they're the best in town to me. The blended coffee is great. They have a lot of breakfast options, smoothies good variety of options. Everyone is pretty nice too. read more

Ummmm yaaassss Queen! This place is amazing and you can bet that I'll be back here again! Our beloved neighbor recommended their mocha and we got the Italian Mocha (there's three different types). Since then, we've been hooked! Why did we get hooked? - The Italian Mocha with Oat Milk is truly a treat. My hubby and I will get a large one and split it. It has a rich decadent flavor. I love sipping on this slowly and savoring the flavor. - The Mexican Mocha with Oat Milk is also rich and a real pleasure on the palate. This is the same feeling I get with the regular Mocha. - Their unsweetened iced Matcha is refreshingly delicious. - Their smoked albacore tuna cream cheese bagel is bursting with flavor! NOTE: Ask for a stamp card. After you purchase 10 drinks, the next one is free. Gold Rush, I'm sure you will be seeing me soon. Until then, YELP ya later! read more

I had a black and white mocha and a lox bagel, and both were very good. The service was quick inside. Lots of coffee places around here are drive thru stands, which I don't like. I like time to read the menu and decide, and I don't like waiting in a line of cars. There are 4 small chairs and 2 tiny tables inside. The style is modern. read more

They made me a customized blended matcha and I was very impressed! Ordered a croissant sandwich which was also good. Friendly service as well. Impressed, and glad we tried this local place instead of a chain coffee place. read more

meh coffee. not cheap for anything other than a plain coffee or Cap. nothing special except they were open when very little else around was. read more

It would be nice if you guys didn't close a hour before closing time . I traveled 10 hours to try this place and arrived 45 min prior to closing and they turned on there automatic closed drive thru automation . Update your online hours so no one else experiences this . read more

The Mexican mocha was the most perfect version I think I've ever had! Definitely could taste the Ibarra.

New ownership of a well established gourmet coffee company and cafe. the ill-advised new logo for this place speaks for itself ; spend your money here and get something "Good", but don't expect anything else. not saying not ti go here, but if I'm paying for a cup or a pound of coffee, I want something better than just goid and I don't care for such crassness in the presentation of something I intend to consume . read more

The drive through has no overhang so easy for any size vehicle is a plus. Best chocolate chip cookies and 20 ounce regular coffee was good too. Little pricey for 2 coffees and a cookie but I guess worth it. read more

I picked up coffees and breakfast on Sunday morning. As of 2/14/21, they are only doing drive thru service, no indoors. The line seemed long but moved really fast. Staff is very friendly. We got drip coffees, bagel and cream cheese, and the ham and cheese croissant. Coffees were good, standard coffee. They added this adorable red lip stopper for the drinks so they wouldn't spill. Perfect for Valentine's Day! My bagel was toasted with ample cream cheese. The ham and cheese croissant was sizable with lots of cheese and ham. It could be a lunch or big breakfast sized sandwich. Overall, great experience! read more

What a terrible disappointment :( A large cold brew over $7. So horrible that first of all it looked like tea it was so watered down but also horribly bitter. What a waste. The drive-thru was quick and convenient but coffee was so awful it's hardly worth the 1 star. read more

Love this spot for some quick caffeine and the best lox bagel in town. My favorite is the infused Red Bull. read more

Great coffee and amazing bagels! I got the bagel two days in a row while visiting Eureka. It is the perfect thickness, perfectly toasted, ample cream cheese. 10 out of 10 would order again. read more

Coffee is great ! Service is great most times ! Love their breakfast sandwich! Best I've found anywhere. I travel all over the place and have yet to find better ! John read more

I don't believe they have Gold Rush coffee in Southern California, but I wish they did. Great coffee! The staff at this location was friendly and on point. If you need coffee, check this place out! read more

A pretty solid/convenient drive through coffee spot. I just had a large drip house blend and thought it was good. Nothing wildly memorable but it def hit the spot and woke me up ready for a day of hiking and the like. read more

My husband and I needed something quick and unique while getting back on the road to head down to Monterey, CA. As soon as we saw they had smoked salmon bagels we had to try it. Both bagels were HEAVENLY. We also got 2 coffees. One was the Cold Snap White (blended white chocolate mocha) which was really sweet and the other was an Iced Caramel Creme Latte with a double shot (probably should've gone with a single shot because that was a bit too much for me). Overall it was nice to get such amazing food at a drive thru read more

I don't get through here often, but when I do it's always been a pretty good cup of coffee. This location can be and is usually busy with both walk up and drive through service options. Parking and walking in can actually be faster if it's really busy. Friendly service is the usual here, as it was raining and it wasn't packed so I opted for drive through on my last visit on the way out of town. Total wait time was about 8-9 minutes, and only a little slower than usual. I'm not one of those fancy coffee drinker but my Organic dark roast, black drip 16 Oz was hot freshly brewed and a nice full bodied dark roasted cup of coffee, and what I was expecting. A decent cup of java. Local independent coffee shop that makes a decent cup of coffee, busy at times and can be a pain to access when packed. 3.5 Stars - It serves its purpose, rounded up for the friendly service. 00593 read more

Red headed girl was very rude. Had to make my drink 3 different times after I explained to her what I wanted and each time she made me the wrong drink over and over again read more

Good coffee, good bagel, perfect place to grab breakfast on the go. Thick cut turkey slice and generous amour of cream cheese read more

I usually go to Gold Rush to get a bagel and coffee but not anymore. The service was absolutely horrible. I tried to call in my order like I usually do but I was told to come in and order there because of busy they were??I drove to Gold Rush and gave the lady my order and got my coffee back cold and the wrong bagel completely. I tried to go in and tell the lady about my order and she told me that I was "disrespectful" for "complaining" about my order when there's a line? I tried to talk to a manager but NOPE. This was completely unacceptable service . Extremely disappointed in Gold Rush and what they have become. read more

My favorite is the black widow with whip and honey. Grab a pound of fresh local beans at the window too

This is my go to drive up coffee place!! The service is always awesome. Great coffee and espresso drinks. And they always have a friendly Upbeat greeting and dog treat for us. Love this place! read more

I come here most of the time I go to a coffee shop. This place is trendy and has great tasty coffee and the workers are all sweethearts! A little slow in the drive thu but that's ok! All in all great place to be at for your coffee! The reason I didn't give it a whole 5 stars though because the place needs better hours! Like 24/7 kind of deal or later hours or something! I am a night shift worker and I know not just me but other people would like to come at midnight and enjoy a cup of Good old Gold Rush Coffee! Thanks for taking the time to read my review and hope to see the hours change! read more
