    This place was a little shack but it offered great coffee! Our only complaint was there was only one guy manning it inside and he was clearly overwhelmed and overworked. He kept apologizing over and over and we felt bad for him. The wait was about 15 min but the coffee was great.

    I stopped by Slow Rush to try their caramel banana nut latte. I really enjoyed the building it was located in. It made it easy to drive up and get a cup of coffee or walk up and go for a stroll around the downtown area. The staff were incredibly nice, caring and friendly. My latte was good, but not great. It was not very espresso forward. It wasn't terrible but the syrups were too overpowering and needed refinement.

    PB&J oat milk latte

    Cute drive thru and walk up coffee stand. One Superman in there doing all the work of 10 baristas so it was a little bit of a wait but he said usually it's not as slow. I guess just everyone and their grandmas was there when I was there. After getting my coffee and scone I can see why though. I got an iced PB&J with oat milk. Idk that it necessarily tasted like a childhood classic sandwich but it's just a super good latte in general with great coffee so I ain't mad at it. I also got the craisin scone and GIRLLL she was absolutely to die for! Little crystallized sugar pieces just glistening in the sun looking like Edward in the light. And she a straight killer of a scone . Very soft, squishy craisins and orange zest you can see when you bite into it. Overall 10/10 and I most deff will be back for seconds, thirds and fourths when I'm back in town.

    Yuzu mango Yerba mate, coconut cold brew, black sugar hojicha

    We wanted to stop by and grab some coffee on our road trip going back home to socal and saw online that this place had a black sesame hojicha. The other drinks looked promising as well so we were eager to try this place! Upon arriving, we realized it was a cute little stall in a parking lot, with even a drive thru! The owner does everything by himself so it did take him some time to get to us but it was completely understandable and he was very apologetic. Unfortunately, he ran out of the black sesame to make the drink that we wanted and instead suggested black sugar. He was also super apologetic for that as well! I opted to get a cold brew with coconut. The coconut flavoring is a purée which is much better than the artificial syrups most places use. My drink was a little tart/sour so I asked for a splash of coconut milk in my coffee and it was perfect! The owner really makes sure you like your drink before you leave. And he doesn't make you feel bothersome for asking for any changes (a very special talent because I always feel like I impose) There are also a few benches and tables you can sit at and enjoy your drink. The stall is decorated with a bunch of cute memorabilia and frog motifs!! Super charming and I love frogs If I ever am driving up to norcal or back home to socal and this place is on the way, I'll be sure to drop by and try out another drink :)

    The small shop is a one man show, and the owner was so sweet despite being busy with orders! It's clear he has a passion for drink making and has carefully crafted his entire menu. He was also so kind and made sure we were satisfied with our drinks. My friend was able to add more coconut milk to her cold brew after trying it. I would definitely come back if I was in the area! I tried the yuzu mango yerba mate, which was so refreshing and flavorful, exactly what I was looking for. It already comes with about 70mg of caffeine, but the owner also has an option to add extra caffeine to it if you need an extra boost.

    Great service from the frogman barista! He made great suggestions when he ran out of what we wanted and it still came out pretty close. The quirky frogs memorabilia had us wanting to come back again but the place closes down at 2pm. Great coffee and he won't even charge for the milk substitute, that's awesome and that's customer premiere service. Although this is a drive through shack, there are available tables and seating if you wish to get out of the car to stretch out in between long drives and grab your cup of joe and latte delight. Convenient outdoor seatings for sure. This will be a coffee latte must quick stop for us from now on!

    The Skinny: A Must-Stop for Vietnamese Coffee Lovers! I originally tried to visit Nick and the Slow Rush Coffee kiosk at the middle of our northbound road trip on Easter Sunday, totally forgetting that some businesses might be closed for the holiday--oops! But no worries, because on our way back down, I made it a point to swing by Paso Robles again just for this spot--and I'm SO glad I did! Of our 7 day road trip, I haven't written any reviews for any businesses yet and this one is the first one because I need to write it before I forget! Note this is a KIOSK and not a full-on Starbucks, but it has an amazing charm with cool seating if you really wanted to stick around. Coming from Orange County, where the Vietnamese coffee scene is strong (especially in the Little Saigon area), I love checking out Vietnamese coffee spots in other towns to see how they stack up. Slow Rush was the first place that popped up when I searched for Vietnamese coffee in Paso Robles--and now I know why. This place is LEGIT. Out of all my stops, Slow Rush easily gives OC Vietnamese coffee a run for its money. It's hands down the best-tasting Vietnamese coffee I've had outside of my hometown! And then there's Nick--what a gem. Super friendly, upbeat, and clearly passionate about his craft. Even though I walked up to the kiosk while the drive-thru line was packed, he still made time to greet me with a smile and even apologized for the short wait (which wasn't his fault at all!). Amazing coffee, incredible hospitality--HIGHLY recommend this place, especially if you're craving that strong, sweet, authentic Vietnamese coffee experience. Don't miss it!

    when i grow up i want to be the girl on this table

    if y'all ever hear that i moved to paso robles it's literally for slow rush (and its fearless leader, the ever iconic nick.) slow rush is the best thing since lorde hopped on sympathy is a knife. my group basically sampled everything on the menu (blueberry matcha, black sugar hojicha, and turtle mocha) and they all hit the respective spots of people who ordered them. nick effectively personalizes every drink during the ordering process, and his vibe checking is immaculate. i'm not sure how he got to know us so well in the ~5 minutes we were there. also, we weren't charged extra for oat milk, which we were SO SO GRATEFUL FOR. all hot girls have tummy issues with regular milk, amiright ?? ofc, i have issues with more than just regular milk (the anaphylaxis of it all), and nick assured me that all of the equipment would be washed before he made my drink. the absolute SQUEAL i SQUEALT !! the great people of paso robles probably filed a noise complaint. i can't put into words how excited we were just vibing with nick as he told us all of the great things he was doing in the local-art-and-frog-adorned kiosk of his, but i can put it into actions! our fourth friend had already been drinking another latte from somewhere else (nick said that place is good too bc he's just a good sport like that). after sampling the other three slow rush drinks, she decided to chug her current latte and order a drink from nick too. her yuzu mango green tea came out so quickly and tasted like it was condensed and rained down from the clouds of heaven. here's to the epic success of slow rush :) ps - one side is a drive thru

    black sugar hojicha 10/10! fast and excellent service by the owner nick. highly recommend

    See all

    Funny thing is I found this shop by accident and I'm so glad I did. I was staying in Atascadero…read morelooking for a local coffee shop there and instead of hitting the one I thought was going to in my GPS, I accidentally hit Amstrdm instead. Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.

We ordered a few iced lattes, a cappuccino, a mocha, london fog latte, and a hot chocolate. Both lattes I tried were tasty and not overly sweet. The coffee shop seemed a little under staffed when we went, as our drinks weren't quite ready, and the coffee bar area was running low in terms of napkins and lids. I also had to interrupt a transaction to request someone to add whipped cream for a hot chocolate. However, the customer service we received was friendly and efficient. We thought the outdoor patio seating was lovely and a great place to sit down with a friend or a book and enjoy a comfy beverage. The garden ambiance and plants/mini fountain were a nice touch too. It was a bit chilly when we visited, so we opted to sit inside. The indoor area has some seating, but felt a little cramped and less comfortable. The interior and decor seemed in line with overall vibe and aligns with the shop's name. It was a nice place to stop by for a quick refreshment and I'd likely return to try their other drinks next time I'm in the area.

I will save this and definitely return and get a larger drink last time. I appreciate it the barista taking the time to explain the design and why they use the style of cup and straw, etc.. I'm one of those people that do care about the environment. I also appreciate that they're open until seven. Sometimes people are still working and need caffeine and a quick little pick me up like me for my 3 hour drive home. Thanks for a delicious drink!
