    Came here this morning for an event sponsored by Parnall Law Firm (first 50 customers get a free drink). The line moved quickly. I got a 16 oz of the hot pumpkin pie latte with oat milk and it was the perfect blend of spices (that would've originally been $6+ without the promo). Can't believe I've driven by here so many times and have never stopped in. They also offer a military and veteran's discount

    Albuquerque has a great coffee shop scene and rust is gold is just another one of those great options for a good cup. It's a very unique environment and absolutely coffee for dudes, but I like it. In case you didn't realize it is motorcycle themed and they are branding is very unique. They have great options when it comes to dietary restrictions and are very vegetarian friendly. Parking is never a problem and they don't get super busy but in a good way. It's a good place to sit down at work. Bonus points because they now are serving pastries from Fat City which is one of my favorite hidden gems. Their raspberry biscochito bar is absolutely amazing.

    I've been here several times now and I think I need to re-review. Rust is Gold Coffee is a very popular place. There are always a lot of people here: reasonably varied (just saw a fellow with a shock of pink hair and a retired federal magistrate and his pup sitting at neighboring tables while I had coffee with a Baptist minister). It's sometimes louder than I like. They might have the tunes cranked pretty high and which will make chatting difficult - not a relaxing vibe. Sometimes - today, for instance - the sound level is just fine, though. Lots of nice places to sit (mostly indoors, a few outside), but the ones facing the nuclear sunlight (that's not mitigated by sufficiently tinted glass) may have glare issues when having a conversation with the folks facing inward toward the order counter. Their drip coffee is very good. And their service is friendly. I've not cared for their espresso when I inadvertently got a friend's drink due to server error, but they seem like they put a lot of thought into their froufy drinks - using pumpkin puree for my friend's pumpkin-spice latte today, for instance, following the owners' concerns about such drinks turning too syrupy. Anyhow, I meet people here and consider it a pretty good place to do that.

    Another excellent visit! My latte was delicious, and the latte art was the best I have ever seen. Great spot to get some work done. Most of the chairs aren't super comfortable if sitting for a long period of time but they fit the look of the space well. Friendly service and a good atmosphere.

    This place has tasty hot coffee drinks and some nice seasonal offerings, like the peppermint mocha I got. I asked for it with oat milk and a little light on the sweetener, and it came out just right. For food, there are little vegan sandwiches. I enjoyed the vegan biscuit sandwich I had. There are also pastries. The space has a cool, unique vibe. I do wish it was cozier rather than so open, with softer chairs, but it's nice for a stop-in for a bit. Also would love to see more food offerings, especially vegan and vegetarian, at this and other coffeeshops.

    This is my favorite coffee spot in town. These guys have a really cool place. Everything they make is always really good. They are never crazy busy. The service is always great. This place is always worth coming to even if it is out of your way.

    Great vibes with great coffee. Friendly service and my son loves the hot cocoa and my wife loves the seasonal lattes.

    Delicious coffee. Every pour is fresh and piping hot and the roast is perfection. Cute interior as well.

You can tell they truly care about quality and craft. The homemade pastries are incredible--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with intention. Their house-made syrups take every drink to the next level and make even a simple latte feel special. The space itself is efficient and thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to relax or get some work done without feeling cramped. On top of all that, the staff is super welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes every visit feel like home. If you're looking for a café that nails coffee, food, atmosphere, and service--this is it.

    Great staff. Great looking space, but a quiet place to work... it is not…read more Went there yesterday to work on a project for a couple of hours. The music was so loud that it wouldn't matter if I used noise canceling headphones. Forget about a conference call. It's just not happening. Also, the acoustics of the room are such that every voice echoes, creating so much sound that I just had to get the hell out of there. It wasn't just me, either. The lady next to me moved outside. Again, the staff were over the top amazing. Hope they can make some adjustments because it's ideally located for me.
