Wow 10 stars if I could!!! This is a one man show and he exceeds at it! He has a lot of passion for the craft and providing efficient service. The drink itself is the best I've ever had, I got the Mexican mocha with almond milk. This man does his best to ensure everyone is happy and satisfied so come in with good energy and u will always be satisfied!! Any complaining and entitled energy should not come here!! This is a place of connection, kindness and coffee craft

Coffee was good! Wait wasn't horrible for the long line ... the line looks scary but it moved fast. The 2 people working inside were working as fast as they could & kept apologizing for the wait! They also have a drive thru which made the line go a little slower. Nice seating area right outside. You can always grab some sourdough next door while you wait for your coffee!

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.

Slow Rush was incredible. Nick, the owner, greeted us when we walked in and took the time to tell us about the specials, which immediately made the place feel welcoming and intentional. He has so many matcha flavor options, including rose, which I ordered and the color was this deep, rich green that you almost never see. You can tell they're doing it the right way here. What stood out even more was his philosophy. He mentioned that he doesn't charge extra for toppings because people shouldn't have to pay more for someone to simply do their job. And he doesn't charge extra for almond milk either.. what!? Unheard of! Between the quality, the care, and the integrity behind how he runs the shop, this place is something special. I'll absolutely be back.

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.

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 :)

Our first time staying in Paso Robles! My boyfriend, sisters, and I are visiting for a short stay. One of the places I told my boyfriend we HAD to go was Slow Rush, the reviews and the menu seemed great. Let me tell you, they are! They were out of one or two things but the barista/owner readily offered substitutions that he was willing to make and we agreed later after drinking that they were probably even better than our original order! Great place, lovely customer service, very friendly, and great drinks!! Didn't think a great Black Sugar Hojicha was gonna be on my list of things I've tried over here but it was amazing! read more

Stopped here a week ago on our road trip up north. Nick, the owner, helped us. He was friendly and kind. Our coffee was great! Little did we know we wouldn't find anything comparable the entire rest of our trip. We stopped by again on our way back home. Nick helped us again and we told him how much we had enjoyed our coffee and how grateful we are to be able to return and get more on the way home. If you're in Paso Robles or passing through, definitely stop and get your coffee here!!! read more

Makes sense why so many people are waiting to get a drink from here because when I did get my coffee it was absolutely delicious!

You take a menu and sit anywhere then go up to the counter when you're ready to order. The staff are extremely friendly and checked on us more than once as well as gave us a rundown of how everything worked. I had the ribeye steak tacos and I thought they were delicious. The steak was tender and well cooked, the avocado was fresh and the salsa was very flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My wife had the blackened tofu tacos and wasn't as thrilled as I was. She found them a little bit bland even with the peanut sauce and didn't understand putting cabbage on something that's already lettuce wrapped. Overall it was still a good experience and I'd definitely stop in again if I'm in the area.

The wines themself are fabulous at DAOU, we went home with a Pinot and a reserve Rosé. The property itself is absolutely stunning with gorgeous views of Paso Robles.

And after a drive that reminded me of the beginning of "The Shining" with all of the winding roads, I arrived, sat down overlooking the valley, and told my wine guy flat out what I started this review with. He was slightly taken aback and treated me with a "let's change your mind" attitude. As I waited for my first sample, I couldn't help but notice the view. It was the best view of all of the wineries I've visited and based on the other reviews, I'm not wrong. They used their plot of land well to Wow their guests... I sampled quite a few wines and liked a lot of them. The ones here are apparently different than the DAOU that's in most stores and restaurants. That's a shame actually... I was here in the morning so it was freezing cold out. I'd recommend for a morning tasting, bring a jacket or something (I was there in May). But as the morning neared its end, the sun warmed things up. My wine guy brought some crackers also as I was feeling a bit queasy from guzzling wine so early. Nice touch and prevented the hallways from looking like "The Shining" too. I also enjoyed watching and playing with Cheetoh, the cat who hung around the outside. He was pretty chill and friendly. He followed my wine guy around and let me pet him (the cat, not the wine guy). I'm glad I went and was upfront about why I was there. I think he appreciated it too and he did change my mind about DAOU. I get that it's a business so you gotta sell to the masses, but make some of these others available to us common folk. If I'm ever in Paso Robles again, I'm making sure to make a reservation here and get one of those wood fired pizzas! And maybe they'll take my idea and make a Lizzie Bordeaux! What's up with my macabre mind today...

Slow Rush proves you don't need a giant café to create something unforgettable. This little walk-up coffee window is easily one of my favorite spots, and Nick is a huge reason why. He's amazing -- genuinely welcoming, passionate, and incredibly talented at what he does. Every drink feels carefully crafted, and the quality is consistently outstanding. My absolute favorites are the rose matcha and the Vietnamese coffee. The rose matcha is smooth, floral, refreshing, and unlike anything else around. The Vietnamese coffee is rich, bold, perfectly sweet, and honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. There's something special about walking up to Slow Rush and knowing you're about to get a drink made with real care and creativity. Nick has built more than just a coffee window -- he's created a place people look forward to visiting. If you haven't been to Slow Rush yet, you're seriously missing out. read more

My daughter and I stopped by this little drive-thru coffee kiosk for the first time today and absolutely loved it! The owner himself took our order, and he couldn't have been friendlier or more welcoming. He went above and beyond, even checking to make sure we liked our drinks before we drove off--he told us he'd happily make something else if we didn't. (We loved them, no remakes needed!) The coffee was delicious, the service was warm and genuine, and you can tell this is a business built with heart. We'll definitely be coming back and supporting this local gem. read more

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.

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.

In a world where restaurants and coffee shops can be wildly inconsistent, this place just keeps showing up and doing what it does best. My go-to is always the Baja Mocha. At this point, it's less of a coffee order and more of a long-term relationship. It's rich, smooth, perfectly balanced, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting. Every time I tell myself I should try something different, the Baja Mocha gives me that "Don't be ridiculous" look, and I happily order it again. A visit also isn't complete without grabbing a pound of whole beans to take home. That way, I can continue pretending my kitchen is a quaint little coffee shop instead of just... my kitchen. The café itself has a ton of character. It's on the cozy side, which means it can fill up quickly, especially during busy times. If you're looking for acres of seating and total silence, this probably isn't your spot. But if you're looking for exceptional coffee, a welcoming atmosphere, and a place that feels like a true local favorite, you'll understand why people keep coming back. The staff is always entertaining in the best possible way. They're friendly, have personality, and somehow manage to keep things moving even when the place is buzzing. It's the kind of coffee shop where the people behind the counter seem like they're genuinely enjoying themselves, and that energy rubs off on everyone else. If you're passing through Cambria or lucky enough to live nearby, do yourself a favor and stop in. Just don't blame me when the Baja Mocha becomes your default order too. I tried branching out once... the Baja Mocha and I worked through it.

The service was not very efficient with the crowd. The barista asked many questions (decaf or regular, oat milk, whole milk, 2%, almond milk, which coffee bean, etc.), which made the line move very slowly. She also had to stop taking orders halfway to make drinks, making the long line to get even longer. There wasn't enough seating, so we decided to take our food to go. They can't help warm up our pastries and directed us to use the microwave and toaster oven ourselves. For the price of the pastries I paid, I expected better service rather than DIY. When the coffee was ready, they did call names but the place was so crowded, we all had to wait outside of the cafe. So many of customers had to come in and out several times to check on their orders. The coffee was also extremely hot and not drinkable right away. Overall slow service, crowded environment, messy flow. I wouldn't come back.
