The Gold Rush Cafe is the coolest little coffee shop in East Dallas, Texas. Owned by the Sanchez family, it has been a favorite of the music, art and literary community for over two decades. Known for the legendary "John Wayne" breakfast and blatantly political views of its patrons, The Gold Rush Cafe is an established landmark and distinctly subversive institution. The opinionated feel right at home here, and the Cowboys or Mavs are almost always the main topic of discussion. Feel free to leave your own photos and favorite stories about your experiences at the Gold Rush.
