The place is drive-thru only, but they have tables where you can hang out and enjoy your food and drinks. I went on a weekday during dinner time and there was no line so it was quick and convenient. I had the Matcha Latte with oat milk, which was amazing! It was also gluten free, dairy free, and soy free, which is a big plus for me. Just note that there is no restroom available. I would definitely come back if I'm in Merrick, Long Island.

The owner was friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was very cozy and warm. I loved how it wasn't crowded and felt like being home in your living room. I got the brown sugar churro iced latte and had some vanilla added in, and paired it with a chicken salad sandwich with apples on a croissant bread with chips on the side. Then to satisfy my sweet tooth, I got a caramel pecan bar. Everything was really great & I would definitely come back again.

On this visit, I ordered a tuna sandwich on multigrain bread, it was very tasty and made with fresh ingredients. I also ordered a Caramel Coconut Matcha, which was nicely balanced with coconut flakes. I can't say enough about how relaxing the space is; it gets better with every visit. Even the owner is as kind as could be, making it easy to continue to support this great business. If you haven't checked it out yet, you must!

Really cute interior with plenty of seating. We came on a Friday night so there was live music which was a nice touch. The menu ranges from lattes, to boozy lattes, to mocktails, to cocktails, to regular coffee. I tried the PB&J boozy latte and it was very good. I tried a sip of the butterscotch one and that was way too sweet for me. I also had a cocktail towards the end of the evening and that was delicious. For food we wanted the gumbo but they had run out so I opted for the chicken quesadilla instead. It was very good and filling. Service was fantastic! The waitress, the manager, the owner, everybody was great. Parking in the front and back.

Every cafe seems to close at 4pm on Sunday in LI, but we found The Cup Coffeehouse on Google. Staff were incredibly nice and we got about 6 drinks to go. The vanilla matcha was really good and the Americano that I had was also great. My husband had a frozen hot chocolate and I liked that one was well. I'm not usually a hot chocolate fan, but this one wasn't too sweet. All in all, a great spot that's open late for coffee and drinks!

(Look for the marquee for Frantoni's Pizza, and The Early Bird Cafe is located right next door). There is signage on their entry doorway. Thanks to fellow Yelp Elite friend Ray N for introducing me to this cafe! I never would have known about this place had he not suggested to go! Thanks also to owner Jin and his staff for the warm & friendly hospitality. This cafe is so modern & welcoming; with a homey feel! We met and chatted with a few fellow customers while we were there. (Shout-out to Justin, Christine and little cutie Miles!) What a pleasure to be there! The Early Bird Cafe is small but don't let the size fool you. They have an array of offerings: - Coffees/Lattes (hot & cold) - Teas (hot & cold) - Milk Teas - Fruit Slushies - Fruit & Yogurt Smoothies - A nice variety of pastries (ask them th heat it up for extra goodness!) - A unique menu of hot foods (see my menu photos). They offer an array of Chiabatta Sandwiches as well as regular sandwiches and Croissant sandwiches; all with tasty fresh ingredients. On this 1st visit, I had: - Hot Cafe Latte ($5.25): This hot & flavorful latte really hit the spot! It was served in a nice ceramic mug which somehow made it taste even better. lol - Fried Egg Sandwich with a side of potato chips ($10.95): It usually comes with 2 fried eggs but we added an extra egg. It also came with arugula, tomatoes, melted Swiss cheese, with a delicious garlic aioli sauce; all on a fresh Chiabatta roll. This egg sandwich was plentiful and stacked with such fresh ingredients! It was delicious and so satisfying. I could only finish half, and took the other half to go. I ate the other half about 4 hours later and it held up pretty well; still fresh & delicious! Recommended! Their food menu has so many great choices! I look forward to a return visit to try their other menus items, as well as their other coffee items! Like I mentioned, this is definitely a hidden Gem! Recommended!!

Thank you Yelpers! Another awesome find. My daughter is…read moredefinitely the coffee connoisseur. She order a coffee and said it was a 10 out of 10. Probably one of the best she's had. I had the iced green tea with mango which was delicious. We almost didn't stop in. You definitely should offer a menu on line. It's a great place to grab a drink and something light. They have cute little 2 seat I tablespoons with a power bar to charge up phones or laptop. We would love to circle back when we are in the neighborhood in a few weeks with some sugar free options for those who want or need it.

I've tried several of the milk teas, including Jasmine milk green tea, four seasons oolong, Thai tea, and melon milk tea. I love all of them, especially the Thai tea. I unfortunately have a habit of getting boba extremely late in the day and have come into the place 10-20 minutes before closing. The owner is extremely nice and accommodating, always making sure you like the drink before you leave! Th place itself is pretty spacious with multiple couches to sit on and games to play. Love the music and ambiance!

They've changed the place a little, now serving dumplings and macarons. They also added many specialty drinks. I ordered the Apple Pie a la Mode and the Butterfly Tea Lychee drinks. Surprisingly, I wanted drinks with no boba. I think I made a good choice. The young man who served me had served me months ago. It's nice to see that Gene, the sweet owner, can keep his staff. I'm definitely adding this place to my "go more often" list.

Sure there are some great deli's, diners and cafe spots but at No Rush Cafe, you never feel like your present is detracting from business. There's been times where I get me a sandwich and a coffee, crack open my laptop to do some emails and video editing, and all of a sudden when I look at my watch, 2 hours has passed. Their booths are incredibly comfortable and even have inspired me to create some breakfast nook booth seating at home.

That said, I requested 1/2 sugar in my decaf iced brown sugar shaken espresso. I am avoiding caffeine. It was still too sweet for my taste. We also got a regular coffee which was okay. The iced lavender matcha latte was probably the best. Still a little too sweet. Last was an iced matcha latte; overpowered by sugar. If you want to taste your matcha or coffee, definitely request less sugar, much less. I didn't eat the pastries but my family said the chocolate croissant was flaky with good quality chocolate. We had it warmed up; definitely recommend that. The service was very friendly and helpful. Inside it's dark with cool paintings on the walls. They have several sitting areas with all types of couches and chairs. Outside it smelled like weed; inside it did not. Well, there you go!
