I opted for the pumpkin coffee and it was ok, the brew was quite strong so I couldn't really taste the pumpkin, my daughter's London Fog tea was refreshing and good. We also ordered a Ham and Swiss Croissant and a Reuben Panini, they come with some pickle slices and chips on the side. My daughter enjoyed her Reuben but I found my Ham and Swiss Croissant lacking flavor. It was very thin and lacking both ham and cheese. I wouldn't order the sandwiches again, not worth the price. The girl that took our order seemed tired or like she just wanted her shift to end, she wasn't rude just inattentive. This coffee shop is located on a great spot and the inside is very spacious and has lots of small tables and chairs but it's not very cozy. They do have a sofa seating area on one of the corners. This place has lots of potential but right now it just doesn't have much ambiance, the atmosphere feels very clinical to me and my daughter agreed. I'm sure there's people that don't really care about that, they just want some coffee and well, if that's the case, this is a place that can fulfill that need.

Very friendly folks…read more The iced latte was perfect, with a good consistency and a bit of espresso bite. We had the cinnamon rolls, and they were yummy. The dough was textured, but not thick at all, nice and light. Just enough icing to cover the top, but not thick, shocking one's teeth with that "too sweet" feel. A generous spread of flavorful powdered cinnamon topped it off. I consider this roll a thoroughly enjoyable treat. The cafe has a great coffee house ambiance. Good music playing softly. Books to read. Comfy couch. A big board where locals can post their wares and businesses, so it has a good community feel. There's kid art for us to enjoy, and a place for kids to play. How great is that, parents? All the patrons seemed happy coming in and going out. I will be back.

There are also seasonal favorites like pumpkin.

The only Starbucks in town! Located inside the Albertson's. This little shop is a tiny taste of…read moreWashington in Alamogordo Ambiance: Not a complete shop more of a small standup. But they do have some tables to enjoy our drink. Usually at a Starbucks you are greeted warmly by the addicting smell of brewing coffee this place has only a faint smell of it. Service: Was below average. Alot of the "regular" drinks at larger more populated areas are unavailable. Also the food selection is limited as well. Be aware that they don't take the Starbucks app. So it's a bit harder to reach that Gold Card. If you do want to get points you have to have the actual card. Hurting those for out of state or just forgot it. The cashier tried her best to explain the need for updating their system. They are pretty fast once your done ordering and took about 2 minutes to make my drink. Drinks: Standard Starbucks taste. Decent taste and wasnt over brewed. It did taste a bit watered down. Maybe a bit too much ice? This place is like your go to song you know what your going to get with no suprises. But strangely I was suprises by how different this branch was. Needs a bit of that corporate renovation to bring this place up to speed. Overall if your going grocery shopping and need a little caffeine fix head to this spot. But if your looking for a stronger brew try to head to one of the local places or make some at home

I hadn't eaten here in probably 15 years, but a friend said their chicken fried steak was good. The…read morelast time I ate here, it felt very dark and dingy. Now it's bright and clean inside. The chicken fried steak was very good with white gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans and a toasted biscuit. I always toast my biscuits at home, but this was the first time a restaurant toasted my biscuit and it was great. Service was prompt and coffee refills were provided when needed. I've decided this is my go-to restaurant for comfort food. Since my first visit to Rustic Cafe a month ago, I have eaten there three more times. I tried the hamburger steak with grilled onions and mushrooms on my second visit. It was very good too, but the mashed potatoes and mac & cheese sides were only Lukewarm. I guess I could have sent them back, but the steak and brown gravy was hot enough. The mac and cheese was nothing to get excited about. On my next visit I tried the BLT on Texas toast. It seemed a bit small for the $8.99 price and the mayo tasted a little weird to me (I only use Best Foods mayo at home.) It did include plenty of thin crisp bacon, but I had trouble biting through the tomato slices since my top and bottom front teeth don't quite touch. On my last visit, I had the Rustic Cheeseburger (medium) with onion rings as a side. The 1/3 lb. burger was very good, and I thought the quantity and quality of the onion rings was excellent. Only after I got home and looked at my receipt did I realize that I'd been charged a separate $1.49 for onion rings that were supposed to be included as side with the burger. I didn't really mind the extra charge since they had given me so many onion rings and they were the best I've eaten in many years. On one visit, the waitress gave me a 10% senior discount that I've not received on any other visit, so I don't know if this is a policy or just at the discretion of the wait staff. I know others have complained about slow service, but I'm retired and always bring my crossword puzzles with me to work on while I'm waiting, so I've not really noticed if the service is slow. Rustic Cafe is not advertised as a "fast food" joint, so I am happy with the speed of the service. My servers have always been pleasant and accommodating to any of my requests. Breakfast was always my favorite meal, and I'm pleased to find a place that offers breakfast all day. That'll have to be my next visit though.

Heart of the Desert Pistachios & Wine - Came for Pistachios, Left with Wine…read more We stopped here with a simple mission: grab a few bags of pistachios as gifts for friends back home. Easy, right? Well... not quite. The store itself is quaint and charming, filled with all kinds of temptations. Pistachios in every form, chocolates, wines, and gift options that make you rethink your original plan. You can taste a little of everything, which is both delightful and dangerous. Then we stepped out onto the patio with our pistachio ice cream, and wow... completely unexpected. The space is gorgeous. Calm, open, and the kind of place that makes you slow down without even trying. Honestly, if I lived nearby, I'd be planning celebrations here without a second thought. Somewhere between the views and the tasting, I tried their pistachio rosé. And yes, I had the same reaction, "wait... what?" But it worked. Different, pleasant, and surprisingly good. Good enough that I completely abandoned my pistachio gift plan and walked out with several bottles instead. A much more unique surprise. The staff were warm and welcoming, adding to the whole experience. No rush, no pressure, just genuine friendliness. We didn't have as much time as I would have liked, and that's probably the only downside. This is the kind of place where you want to linger longer, taste more, and just enjoy the moment. Came for pistachios. Left with wine and zero regrets.
