Came in looking for some coffee beans, and came out a loyal customer. This is a walk-in roastery for coffee beans. Love interaction between their employees and the quality of information they have on their coffee beans. I enjoyed the decorations inside, a home barista dream build. You can purchase coffee beans, but if you don't know what coffee beans to look for they are well informed. If you informed them of what you're looking for, they can pinpoint a specific bag that meets your needs. They also have different types of coffee beans, so I suggest that your wallet ready cause I was about to leave with more coffee beans than needed. You can also purchase coffee gear such as filters, cold brew filter jar, French press, and red rock roaster gear. read more

Wow, 10/10 coffee and people. The Colombia Huila they currently have is OUTSTANDING. I'm normally one to grab a bag of Roadrunner Blend at Albertsons, but making a stop at the roaster is worth it for this. I totally tasted the suggested strawberry note! Also, no shade to NM piñon coffee but Red Rock's piñon is way better. Tastes cleaner and more like piñon. We are so lucky to live here where they roast! You can order off their website too. read more

Before COVID: My first experience with Red Rock Roasters was at a Coffee Expo a few years ago where they were giving a presentation on coffee, different ways of roasting, origins of the coffee, cascara, flavorings, etc. They had so much information about coffee it was great! And the staff member at the presentation was friendly and nice, too. In the next couple of years, I found the same staff member at a Coffee and Chocolate Fest, and thanked her for the presentation. She told me more about their coffee blends, some of which I also sampled and enjoyed. Fast forward a little bit, and I also bought a few bags in the past couple years. One blend I distinctly remember is their Roadrunner Blend, which was naturally sweet and less harsh than many coffees can be (I usually drink coffee black by the way). I also tried their Organic/Fair Trade Peru Swiss Water Decaf, which tasted so good that I really doubt anyone who loves coffee would know it was decaf. After COVID: I've been buying more coffee than usual since COVID took hold (no surprises there I'm sure!). I ordered a few bags from Red Rock Roasters and had a great experience. Their coffee shipped fast, and in minimal packaging. The coffees themselves all taste so unique from different regions of the world. One thing I really like about this company is how transparent they are regarding their products. On some of the coffees, they even have interviews they did with the coffee growers they purchase their coffee from, and their other coffees have plenty of information as well. It's nice that they work so hard to make coffee not just a morning drink, but a way that we can connect with the world as well. I am definitely a fan of this company, and I tell my family and friends about them regularly. read more

Red Rock Roasters is not a coffee shop, they are the oldest NM roastery: 26 years in business! You can sample coffee, buy coffee & Red Rock Roasters branded products. Most of the coffees are single origin, but they shared the best selling one is their blend. They are not pushy with their products at all. It feels like their value lies in perfecting their craft & education instead of marketing. There is a well-lit area to sit and free-WiFi is available too. They also use this space for trainings and meetings. I came on a Monday morning while coffee is being roasted in a room separated by clear acrylic or glass: you can see what's going on while the production area stays clean. I'd consider returning to buy coffee when we run low on beans at home! read more

If he's not going to review Red Rock Roasters, I will. We recently visited Manhattan, to see family, and during our first excursion to Central Park my mother said something along the lines of "Oh, that coffee you gave Walt, for his birthday? He LOVES it -- we're almost out! He has a pot every morning." Thank you, Red Rock Roasters, for solving the annual question of What do you get the guy who has everything. We all have that relative. I was charmed by my first visit to their shop, it's a simple operation that clearly emphasizes quality of product over aesthetic or pretense, customer service is legit, this isn't a cafe but they'll deliver what you're looking for. Great local business. read more

My absolute favorite coffee!!! Great flavor, it's smooth and fresh. I do the fancy house blend in a French press and it never disappoints. Support local! read more

Customer service is awesome! Most importantly the coffee is amazing!!!! Support local always!

I tried that coffee from El Salvador farm "Nombre de Dios" I honestly didn't like it , and the price is way too high. Probably they do not have good growing praxis in that farm, the owner I heard doesn't have good reputation I rather buy other coffee read more

Stop thinking about it and just buy some already!! I found Red Rock brand several years ago while grabbing a coffee and bagel from a local bagel shop. Their 'Black Magic' roast is so unbelievably out of this world, I've been hooked ever since. You can drop in to pick up a pound of their delicious coffee, or order online in larger quantities. The staff is friendly, knowledgable and always willing to show you around the tasting room. To sum it up: Great local company, Wonderful fresh roasted aromas, Best damn coffee around! : ) read more

I have been drinking the coffee frim Red Rock Roasters for years - especially while at work (UNM). now retired! This is the best Coffee that I have ever drank! I usually get the "UNM" roast. Try it "You will Love It" read more

Very sweet! Excellent coffee! My boyfriend and I just stopped in, hoping to grab a good drip on our way to skiing from the airport. We thought they had a cafe so we went in. We bought some whole beans of their most popular coffee and they so kindly poured us two drips for the road. Everyone was very kind and we love our coffee! Can't wait to grind it when we go home. read more

Please offer your coffee on Amazon. I live in Houston and when I run out of your pinon coffee I get anxious knowing the local stuff is going to taste bitter by comparison. I can't get to ABQ often enough to stay stocked up. Please? Amazon? Prime shipping so I don't have to think to far in advance? :) read more

Coffee is important. Right? So, it's important to trust our coffee to more than a generic company. Red Rock Roaster is a family business. Remember those? These are individuals who care about their customers, suppliers, staff, and--most of all--the quality of their coffee. Every bag. I have been drinking it for years and it's always great. Black Magic is my fav. read more

After doing a tasting at Red Rock Roasters, my understanding of coffee was forever changed. I learned about the roasting process, extraction, bean origins, and above all what a good cup of coffee actually tastes like! Ever since then we have bought a 5 pound bags of roasted beans directly from this local, family-run business. Even now, living in a different state, we have it shipped! Simply the best. read more

We moved to Albuquerque (from Portland, OR) a year ago and have been searching for a good coffee ever since. Well, we didn't find a good coffee, we found a great coffee in Red Rock Roasters Black Magic. So happy to have found a local roaster that delivers a great coffee. Looking forward to when they complete the work on the tasting room. read more

Excellent coffee. Great personal service. This family run business has freshly roasted coffees and will help you select the perfect one for your tastes. read more

I have learned more about coffee --politics, history, passion, science, culture--in my brief visits at Red Rock than I have through my own random research. The staff is ridiculously down to earth, but somehow experts at their craft at the same time. The coffee is the best I've ever had and I've been functioning on caffeine for almost thirty years. read more

We found RedRock Roasters after the chocolate and coffee convention in ABQ two years ago. The quality of their whole bean coffee is excellent, and is roasted right on site. I purchase several pounds every few weeks when I am in ABQ. The people are very pleasant and helpful, both on the phone and in person. read more

Better known as Red Rock Coffee Roasters, a wholesale micro roaster based in Albuquerque for around 20 years. A known secret is that they will sell you a pound of fresh-roasted coffee if you call it in a day in advance. I have tried different blends and roasts, my favorite is still the Black Magic blend of 5 coffees. It's deliciously dark without the bitter notes But they have all kinds of Organic and non organic coffees to chose from. read more

I saw Red Rock Roasters while at work driving by. Shortly after I took my wife and we purchased a variety of 1 pound coffee beans. We tried every single one and loved them all. Some of the ones we tried are Piñon and Pecan. After we ran out we purchased a 5 pound bag of the Piñon. This is BY FAR, the freshest, best tasting coffee we have ever had. This does not compare to the beans/grounds you can buy at the coffee shops or the store, the Red Rock beans are on a different level. I would strongly recommend that you give them a try, you will never buy your coffee from a store or coffee shop again! And if you can, purchase an inexpensive grinder and buy the "whole bean" and grind the coffee fresh just before brewing but of course they can grind it for you if you prefer! The staff is also extremely knowledgeable and can find a coffee that is perfect for you! Their coffee IQ is off the charts! read more

Note: Red Rocket Roasters is NOT, actually, a retail coffee shop (similar to Starbucks)! Yelp has incorrectly included them in that category, though the business has tried to correct this. They are actually a supplier, to restaurants and related businesses, of fresh-roasted (in-house) specialty coffee, fine tea and chocolate, and trade equipment and supplies. The business also provides training for their customers who purchase their perfectly-roasted beans on how to provide the best cup of coffee possible for their customers in their gleamingly-spotless, newly-remodeled offices and production facility, according to owner/partner Nancy Langer, former owner of a coffee shop of her own. Nancy graciously provided my husband and I, each, with a perfect "Americano" and a friendly, impromptu education on some of the ins and outs of being a coffee roaster/supplier, when we mistakenly chose them for our morning cup of "joe" on a recent road trip through Albuquerque (we were far from the first to make that mistake). Thank you, Nancy, and your wonderful staff for adding an unexpected, but really nice start, to our trip home to Denver! If you are in need of great coffee for your business, be sure to give Nancy and her staff at Red Rocket Roasters a call! read more
