Coffee Rush should really spend time reading on these reviews and take action. We were curious about the place because of the food and sceneries we see online.
We were there at lunchtime, got excited with the Herbed Chicken and Roast Beef poster upon the entrance. Unfortunately, they were unavailable. Even all the exciting and intriguing Meat options in their menu wasn't available. Then why bother setting up that poster in the first place? We didn't have a choice but to order because we really meant to go here and didn't want to waste time leaving the place and look somewhere else to eat. Again, we just didn't have a choice.
Their Russian salad are pre-packed and too small for a serving (I expect salads to be prepped and served fresh). Ordered the Sampler Nachos (which was good!) Pomodoro, Sizzling Garlic Mushroom instead, and two of their beverages. The rice bowls weren't enticing for us neither.
Now, I thought the 'Pay as you Order' scheme should make their ordering system faster. But no! The 300pesos pasta came in after 30mins and looked like heated in a microwave. Sizzling mushrooms at 45mins mark, doesn't even sizzle. Lol. Good thing we were distracted by the lakeview while filling ourselves with nachos.
Also asked for water as we were having coffee, and they don't even offer them. I had to pay 100pesos for 2 Summit 500ml bottles! How come other restos, or even the smaller ones offer in-house water. Way to go rigging your customers!
Since we had to wait for our food, I had the chance to check their Google reviews, and turns out, it's not just us. Others have experiences like this too. That's why I am giving 2 stars, just because of great overlooking view while taking a sip of your beverage.
I am posting the photos and see if they're worth the price of 1300pesos. This is another experience and proof for me that not all instagrammable things you see online are promising.
Maybe the coffee options are good, but...
   Read moreFor food and drinks: In the past, I used to relish the food and drinks at Coffee Rush Binangonan, and I've frequented the place multiple times. However, I noticed a significant decline in the quality during my recent visit. I was taken aback by the outcomes when we selected various beverages: Non Coffee Frappe - White Choco Chip, Yogurt Frappe - Mix Berries, Coffee Frappe - Dark Choco Chip, and Hot Matcha. Remarkably, with the exception of Matcha, all the drinks turned out to be excessively sugary, as if the sugar content had been multiplied by 1000%. The Matcha drink itself was a letdown, tasting oddly like bearbrand milk with only a hint of matcha powder. Curiously, just the week prior, I had ordered the Popcorn Coffee Latte, which seemed to lack any sugar at all. Perhaps this was their way of making up for the absence of sweetness in my previous order lol. Additionally, we sampled their Sinigang na Lechon, Sampler, and Tapa dishes, all of which were truly delightful. However, I do wish they hadn't removed the tocino and their flavorful fried rice, both of which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. I must say, their sampler platter offers great value for money, considering the variety it provides.
Service: Their service falls somewhere between not being bad and not being great either. The inconsistency in their service can be rather bothersome. Nevertheless, I must commend the servers for their understanding and patience.
Atmosphere: The ambiance is laid-back and welcoming, providing a cozy environment to relax and make the most...
   Read moreThis place was suggested by a friend because of the view. Went here today, Sunday at around 8am. The queue was quite long already. It took us almost 20 minutes before placing our orders. The rice bowl selections (40 to 45 minutes waiting time) were available, sadly the steaks and others were not, need to wait until 11am (3 hours) if we want to have other options. The pastries and coffee however were ready to serve anytime. The hot drinks were delivered on time, hot choco is my favorite as I can't drink coffee based items, so I tried their signature hot chocolate. The taste was so so, tasted like muscovado sugar. Some drinks were not available as well. There's no purified drinking water, so we have to buy bottled water. Good marketing. đ I also tried their Caramel Macchiato, despite of not drinking caffeine based beverage, I'm just curious as I love caramel too, but then again, the taste was so so. We've ordered mango and cookies and cream muffins while waiting for the beef tapa and bicol express rice bowls, the mango muffin lacks the mango flavor, the cookies and cream was okay. Their beef tapa and bicol express were uninteresting (bland) despite that those two were their best sellers. Overall, food and beverage was 1 star. Not worth the price and long wait. 1 hour preparation for the food. The capacity is quite big enough to accommodate early birds and group of guests. The scenery and ambiance were fine. I rated 2 because of the view. Thank you for the service though as the...
