Rushing Trading Co. Johns Creek

Jack Armstrong Local Guide

5 out of 5 stars★★★★★

We scoped out three brunch spots in the Johns Creek area, and Rushing Trading Co is the one that pulled us in. Pro move—we joined the waitlist online and timed it perfectly, which made the experience even smoother walking in. The Honey Bun Latte immediately landed in my top 5 coffees I’ve had traveling. Honey, white chocolate, and oat milk—done right without being overly sweet. I went with the Yosemite biscuit, and my wife added the brown sugar mini biscuits as an appetizer. I’m pretty sure a magician made those because they disappeared fast. Absolutely worth it. Service was excellent—Sparsha took great care of us, and the timing from order to table was spot on. What really stood out was something we witnessed nearby. A guest asked for a salad from a previous menu, and when it came out, something wasn’t quite right. The owner (and likely chef) personally came to the table, listened carefully, took the dish back, and recreated it exactly as she remembered it. That’s above-and-beyond service you don’t see often. They also offer mimosas and seasonal cocktails, which definitely caught my attention for a future visit. And one more thing—our son and his girlfriend made the 60-mile round trip twice the following week just to come back. He’s got the coffee in his top 3, which says a lot. Bottom line: Great coffee, strong brunch menu, and service that actually cares. This one’s worth the stop.

This place is absolutely a cut above the rest. This isnt just a breakfast or brunch place, its elevated beyond that with a series of unique combinations of flavors and textures. We truly enjoyed the presentation of the food and the extra it took to make things appetizing and visually presentable. Alexis was a great service to us today. She was kind and patient and took extra care to show us additional coffees. The barista was also very knowledgeable and explains how certain coffees pair better with specific milks. Overall, the experience was very unique. I appreciated having plenty of vegetarian options and the customizability of the menu and we loved the calming and modern esthetics! We definitely will be back to try more.

Really nice atmosphere and all the servers were excellent. The food was good, but not great. It was a tad bland and basic. However, it’s definitely worth it to come back and try other things. Great brunch spot!

Rushing Trading Co. will forever be that brunch spot for me — my go‑to in Johns Creek and honestly one of my favorites anywhere. We’ve been coming here since their original Sugar Hill location, and they’ve never missed. The food, the drinks, the vibe… everything is consistently amazing. On our most recent visit, I ordered the Rushing Griddle, and wow — it’s a whole experience. Imagine French toast hugging Swaggerty’s sausage, egg, and Irish cheddar, all drizzled with just enough maple syrup to make every bite sweet, savory, and unforgettable. I paired it with their creamy 3‑cheese grits, which are basically comfort in a bowl. My husband went for the Southern Shrimp & Grits, and it was perfection: big, juicy gulf shrimp over those same dreamy grits, with andouille sausage, sweet corn, and a tomato gravy that has just the right amount of kick. We also shared the Banana Pudding French Toast — stuffed with cream cheese and bananas, topped with walnuts and caramel. It’s indulgent in the best possible way. For drinks, my husband loved the Breakfast Old Fashioned (Kentucky bourbon, bourbon maple syrup, 1821 Earl Grey bitters, and a dirty cherry). I went for the hot chocolate — dark chocolate, Madagascar vanilla, and whipped cream — and it tasted like a hug in a mug. Portions here are generous, so we took leftovers home and enjoyed them all over again later. Everyone in our group loved their meals, which is no surprise — I’ve never had a bad dish here. Yes, there can be a wait on weekends, and yes, it’s a little pricier than your average brunch spot, but the quality, creativity, and flavor make it absolutely worth it. Rushing Trading Co. is a must‑try if you love brunch with personality, flavor, and consistency. This place never disappoints.

Excellent and attentive service to pair with calm environment and very satisfying food. Ordered the breakfast burrito and banana pudding French toast on a brunch trip and the portions and quality were on point. Definitely should check out this spot if you’re looking to grab a Sunday brunch or nice spot to chat and get a coffee.
