Eaten here twice before impressive friendly, professional service with excellent food & presentation. The tyre shop of choice is Tyrepower in Town so it is now a habit to visit Rush Cafe. Bought a loaf of Higgins (Shepparton) dense grain & seed sour dough - YUM as it is top notch! Meal was a veggie wrap toasted lightly - delicious! Well done team!

It’s New Year’s Day in Numurkah and this is the only place open. The coffee was good but at $5.50 for a small cup I want something better than good. Cafes in the capital cities charge less than this public holiday not withstanding.
