    Great Coffee amazing space with a drive thru so buy local and pass on Staryucks. The owner and staff were super nice. The space was open and even has a really cool motorcycle shop on the side with vintage oil cans & merch.

    I love this place! And I don’t drink coffee! My favorites are the London Fog Latte and the iced Blueberry Palmer. The moto culture in this place is one of its special characteristics, and there’s always a fun event going on. They have moto meet ups, classic car shows, live entertainment, film screenings, supercross or MotoGP screenings… all good times.

    Tasty coffee, cool merch, friendly staff, and vegan options set in a unique atmosphere. This motorcycle-themed coffee shop strikes the right balance between being a community hub for auto enthusiasts while being welcoming to a guy like me who prefers sitting around with books and journals.

    We got a campfire latte and iced mint spice green tea, both of which were delicious! Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommend!

    Came to Rust is Gold on their monthly motorcycle meet up day with my dad and had a great time looking at all the different bikes and chatting with other enthusiasts! The coffee was great and atmosphere of this place is just fun!

    Best pup cups in town. My dude looks forward to every Sunday to get his pup cup fix. He gets all excited when we pull into the parking lot. I hear the coffee is great there too. They have some records for sale and you can put a record on to listen to it there.

    I've been in a few countries and a few different cafes around the world, and Rust is Gold (RiG) is the first place I've seen to take advantage of a mechanic's need for a good cup of Joe in the morning. Combining the best of both worlds, coffee and gearhead culture, Rust is Gold scratches that itch some of us might not have known we had. The day I pulled up, there was a bike meet outside, along with a couple of classic cars and a book signing by the front door. As I walked inside, there was a DJ turntable set up immediately to the right of the doorway with low-fi beats playing and the place was packed. I took a look around, snapped some shots of the place, and checked out the merch along the north wall of the store. There was an old cigarette machine which gave me a laugh as I looked closer at it and realized it wasn't loaded with cigarettes, but small packets of RiG's coffee for sale. I grabbed some stickers, and two cans of coffee to go to take to work that week and made for the counter. I don't remember what I had that day, as it was a special, but I remember it tasted like black cherries. Proceeds were going to the local ASPCA, and I figured if it was the special why not. I looked at the mix of people in the room chatting it up, and waited for my coffee thinking about why no one in the world had tried this before. It wasn't long before I got my order, took a sip and headed back out on the road. If you like what you are reading, stop on in, and maybe bring your friends and your bikes, or cars, or whatever motorized conveyances you have.

    I literally ordered a coffee with almond milk, I saw the guy make it with whole milk and told him “hey I cant have dairy, I think you put whole milk in it” his response- no I didn’t 🤦🏽‍♀️. I just paid like $8 for a coffee I can’t drink. They also used great value products from what I saw. No thanks 😒 Response to reply: No thanks, I would never go back, I’m still shocked at this experience. There’s plenty of other places for me to go.

    Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Drinks and food are very affordable compared to most coffee shops. They are both dog and vegan/ vegetarian friendly. The vegan breakfast burrito was amazing. And don't let the menu fool you: They have tons of drinks and flavors and are willing to help you build whatever you would like. I will definitely be coming back.

    LOVED this place. I’d been disappointed in every mocha I’ve had for probably the last 2 years, but the one I had here was delicious. It actually tasted like chocolate and coffee, not like milk and sugar. Also tried a vegan breakfast burrito which was very flavorful. The atmosphere is fun, the customer service is great, and there’s plenty of seating. Would love to spend a whole morning here.

    The service is great and the coffee is good. Their chai latte is fine. I also got a scone that they carry from a local baker, I believe, and I do not recommend it. Overall, a pretty solid option for local coffee, especially since they have a drive thru.

    Really fun concept, and friendly staff. The coffee is solid, but the espresso drinks are really the star here. A must add to your coffee shop rotation, especially if you are a moto enthusiast

    Delicious coffee and great atmosphere. Only thing I noticed was my wife and daughter ordered first but the staff was talking to each other and they got confused on who was next. 3 people including me got our coffee orders before my wife and daughter got theirs.

    Super yummy coffee! Tried the honey lavender latte, it’s amazing.

  • 5/5 Sylvie J. 5 months ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere❤️ Honey Lavender 🪻 was perfect... Not to sweet... Just delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Plenty of seating... Even a couch. One bathroom for all which was clean. I'll be back. 😊

    Cool, local coffee shop that caters to bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts. Very cool atmosphere. I went during a week day and it was quiet enough for a couple folks to work on laptops, which is nice. I had an iced Americano and chocolate pecan muffin. The coffee was decent but all coffee tastes the same to me. The muffin was dry and not great. The counter service was lovely and the prices were surprisingly lower than most coffee shops.

    Absolutely love RIG! The coffee and teas is amazing and the staff is too. I usually get a London Fog when I'm there or a regular coffee. The events and support for the community they do is great too!

  • 5/5 Cheyanna D. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee and service! Very chill spot to hang and get work done. Great music choices and the space is large enough to have conversation with friends without bombarding those around you.

  • 5/5 Christina F. 7 months ago on Google
    Visited early in a Saturday morning and was not disappointed. One of the best iced lattes I’ve had in Albuquerque. Coffee is really smooth and has a great flavor.

  • 5/5 Diana O. 11 months ago on Google
    Very enjoyable! The coffee, the service & the atmosphere are amazing. The nostalgic feel there is such a great sensation. I really enjoyed their Honey Lavender Latte. The prices are incredible.

    Great coffee, friendly staff, fun atmosphere. They roast their own beans which are great to take home. Highly recommend

  • 3/5 Adric M. 1 year ago on Google
    Coffee was good, but food options are minimal, and aside from the instagram couch area most of the seats are the normal hard metal cafe seats. Not great for book reading, but fine for 20-45 minutes..

  • 5/5 Jesse R. 11 months ago on Google
    I was on a cycle trip from Minnesota to Mexico. My rear tire went bald faster than expected. I was having my tire replaced a couple doors down so I had a hot choc while I waited. Steve was warm and welcoming. He even watched my stuff as I checked on my cycle. Very quickly Steve became someone I would call friend. Whatta guy and great coffee shop. Thanks Steve!

    Excellent coffee, the best I've found in town. The vibe is cool, too, if you're into motorcycles (which I am). Seating is a bit limited, as this place is getting more popular, but parking is pretty easy. Definitely worth trying if you haven't been here yet

  • 4/5 Nate S. 1 year ago on Google
    Super rad food space sharing area with automotive interests, reminiscent of The Shop in Dallas/Seattle, but with a focus on motorbikes - neat! - but unfortunately I drove from the interstate here for the famed cappuccinos, did not find them very good! Liked the coffee, liked the service, but were not impressed with the capp. P.S. Check out Wheelie Pop Brewing in Seattle if you're there! They're a MotoGP themed brewery! I know that's not vintage but ya know.

  • 4/5 Florian G. 1 year ago on Google
    It looks like a brewery to me that serves coffee. I guess some people will love that. The staff was nice, it was clean inside and the music was nice and not too present. Pretty nice environment overall, but I personally didn’t have any kind of affinity with it.
