Heatwave Coffee is hands down my daily café and absolute favorite spot. The coffee is always…read moreperfectly dialed, and the latte art is consistently beautiful. 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.

Nice and smooth like I wanted and it was refreshing on this warm 86 degree day! Staff was friendly and efficient. My reason for not giving 5 stars was that I was not impressed with the pastry selection and seating was not that comfortable or cozy to hang out in.

If Starry Moon isn't already on your radar, it should be. This spot is easy to overlook--but…read moreabsolutely worth a second look. From the moment you walk in, the vibe pulls you in: quirky, playful, and full of personality. The decor alone feels like a conversation starter. Where else are you going to see two kiwis watching a sloth and a teddy bear play for real cash? Exactly. The drinks hold their own, too. The dirty chai with boba hit that perfect afternoon reset--smooth, energizing, and just indulgent enough. The Thai tea is another standout, whether you go classic or add boba for a little extra texture. Bottom line: fun atmosphere, memorable details, and drinks that deliver. Starry Moon isn't just a stop--it's an experience.

Not too sweet. The Thai tea didn't look like it had any milk in it. It was very strong. The black milk tea was ok but nothing to write home about. And I was disappointed they had no chai tea or spiced tea. The service was fine and answered our questions. It's a cute shop. Asian themed. I'm not sure we will be back.

The bread was perfect for this sandwich; that's not always the case. The Council Room Platter has all of the New Mexican favorites and is hearty enough for leftovers. The taquitos are a pass. The guac and salsa are awesome but the actual taquitos are the same thing you can get from the grocery store. I'm sure there are better options for starters.

The place is nice and closer to the conference area so away from the noise and bustle of the casino which made for a nice quiet meal. Service was excellent and the food was quite good. I got the green chile chicken enchiladas and they really hit the spot. The portion was huge so I ended up taking a big chunk of it home for later. If you're looking for a nicely decorated quiet spot in casino land i suggest giving it a try. I'm glad I went back and will be adding this place back to my list of places!

There was so much thought put into the coordination of the products. The coffee itself was delicious! I got the valentines day flight- 3 tasty coffees paired with 3 bite sized chocolates. My favorite of the 3 was the caramel pecan- it was nutty and sweet without being overpowering. I was impressed with the size of the flight. Every employee I encountered was kind and made me feel welcome. Not only is this an adorable place to shop but there are enough tables that it would be the perfect place to meet a friend for coffee or set up for the afternoon with a book. I was impressed overall with my visit and ill be back!

But do I still wish that Rust is Gold would do a little more in that department? YESSSSS. I've been in a few times in the early afternoon where the food offerings were completely drained for the day, and all I wanted was something sweet with my bevvy. The coffee here is pretty good, and it's a large bright open space. Servers are kind as well! Just give me some sugar too please!

. I woke up grumpy…read morethat sunny first Saturday in April. I remember it well. (it was 4 days ago) My wife suggested we try this coffee shop. Begrudgingly I went along; not quietly but more "respectfully pissy" i would say. Navigating our large van in the parking lot we still couldn't find the business. I started bitching about the crummy location, poor signage and how I just wanted a cup of quality coffee. That life shouldn't be this hard on a Saturday morning. Where is this coffee roasters shop? Finally: We located and walked into Candlestick... ...and POOOF !!! We meet (and want to marry) Zach! The enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, mission and love this guy has for his craft is amazing. We are so impressed. We decided Zach's wife is soo lucky! Mia M. did a review calling this an "intimate coffee experience" and I agree. When we relocate to Corrales, we will become frequent customers of this business. "Like really good like customers as they say in the valley." Thank you Zach for an exceptional coffee "pour over" experience ... we loved our individual cups of coffee. We support your fair trade mission, and wish you very well in your business. After our Candlestick Visit: My mood improved from a 3/10 scale, to a 10/10 after my visit to Candlestick Roasters ... YMMV of course, but please give it a try :)
