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.

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.

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.

First time stopping at coffee barn as I was in the area and have been following them on IG. The…read morefall menu sounded amazing. I chose the blueberry pie cold brew because it was different than the usual apple or pumpkin options most places offer. I was asked if I wanted to get the pie with it and I obliged so I could get the full Coffee Barn experience. I'm a venti girl so I went with the large. It was massive. But unfortunately, that was the best part about the coffee. It was bitter and the blueberry flavoring was extremely artificial tasting. It simply tasted like a regular iced coffee with blueberry syrup added. I would honestly not recommend it to anyone. The saving grace from my purchase was the blueberry pie which I'm assuming is from a local bakery. It was delicious and what I had hoped the coffee would've tasted similar to. I'm not sure if I want to give this spot a second chance. For $14.56, I feel like there are so many other amazing coffee spots on Long Island I would rather try.

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.

There are also a seemingly endless list of options to pick from, which quite frankly is both exciting and overwhelming. I wish there was a "sampler" option to get a couple ounces of 4 or 5 different ones. The coffee itself is good and service was great, and the cafe vibes were solid. The only confusion is that you really have no idea how strong or not the taste is going to be of the item you're getting. Again with so many options of the coffee itself, and then the speciality drinks, I wasn't that positive what I was getting and although I avoid sweetness, a little bit of something would've been helpful to bring out the flavors of the coffee bean rather than just cream which is what I did (resulting in me having a pretty basic coffee that didn't taste that much different than any other ice coffee I've ever had). There's definitely so many cool options, but a little more clarity on how to properly order I think would've been helpful. Still, none the less a great spot to try out with new options to give you a years worth of visits to explore it all.

Overall, it was average for me.

And they have a few vegan options! Don't expect macarons nor tarts, but that blueberry croissant I had was so delicious. It was more of a whole grain pastry than a traditional buttery croissant but because the blueberry filling was so sweet, I was happy for a less decadent pastry. I love that they have a nice array of coffee and matcha drinks too. I'm pretty sure the word has been out for some time now, but when that Starbucks line in the parking lot is just too much, The French Workshop is a better option (however, on a rainy Saturday in May, that line inside was considerable. People know what's good!) There's plenty of seating, too and if you are good at pretending, you almost feel you're in Europe (ignore the suburban strip mall that surrounds you).
