    Oh the glory for a good jelly filled!!!
    Lisa B.

    I have wanted to try this place for awhile!! I am not a "DD" fan and the "KC" are just too sweet, and I miss a good "California style" donut. Thick and fluffy and solid on the coating and filling. I AM NOW LOYAL!!! These donuts are phenomenal!! Mi blowing good!! Super fluffy and flavorful!! It too sweet, great on the filling!! Super nice staff!!! I loved how they had the fur baby pics from the drive through inside!!! Clean and awesome!!!! My new donut place!! Now Rio feels like home!!!

    I don't go for donuts often but stopped by because I was in the area for work and remembered that it was one of the places I had bookmarked ans always wanted to check out when I had time. Well one morning..it was the time as I had a back to back appointment and didn't have enough in between time to go anywhere else out of that area. I ended up stopping at Rise + Roast and got their blueberry lavender cake donut (per recommendation of their staff when I asked what their favorite flavor was), a banana chocolate yeast donut (I just wanted to try something different..and prefer yeast over cake donuts) and a medium iced mocha. The service was fast and many people actually did a drive thru. However, if you prefer, you can do some outdoor/patio seatings there as well. I thought the donuts were ok. If anything, they were too sweet for my taste. While I did finish the blueberry lavender donut..I found it a little heavy of a donut for me. The banana chocolate yeast donut was also way too sweet, especially with the icing. The actual yeast donut though was good..and I probably preferred that plain yeast donut over any other flavors. Overall, an ok place for some breakfast, drinks or snacks. Maybe I'm not in tune with how much things cost these days..but the donuts were $2++..so with taxes and tips .they were $3! (Well if you buy in bulk..it is a bit cheaper I think). The mocha was good..but it's not anything that is any more special than the iced mocha I can get elsewhere either. Overall, great place to try...but maybe I'm not a sweet tooth donut person..so I don't see myself stopping by again anytime soon..unless I'm with a donut fan.

    Heard a few good things about this place so we decided to give it a try. We got 2 dozen donuts so we can try them all. The service was nice, she did say we got two free donuts for the 2 dozen donuts we ordered, maybe I heard her wrong because there was not any extra donuts. It's been hard finding a donut shop here so this place was good but definitely not worth $50! That's crrraaazzzy to me! I probably won't be back because fifty dollars for two dozen donuts! That's wild, for that price these donuts should have been delicious!

    Great cinnamon rolls and any chocolate doughnut. Just get there early so they are still warm since they bring from east side of town. Maybe that will change in the future. Great drinks, tight drive thru if in long truck

    I wanted to try the place out. There is no indoor seating here, but there are tables outside and covered so that is nice. I do feel sorry for the workers, the customer ordering in front of me was an ASS. Complained that they did not have the donuts he wanted, it is noon, I am sure if he came earlier they would have. Then he complained about the fee for cooks. I get it, but honestly, if you don't like it go someplace else. The young man behind the counter held his cool. Did not reply back to the rude customer. You trained him well roast place. I got the cold brew and it was great!! Glad I stoped here. I don't know how many are in Albuquerque but I will stop more often.

    Main entry.  Not many donuts on the shelf because they're fresh and fly off the shelf quickly.

    When in RR and looking for an alternative to StarB or Dunkin, try Rise & Roast on Unser. Their donuts are fresh and very tasty. The coffee is smooth and flavorful as well. Their drive up is convenient and staff is very friendly and courteous. There is an outdoor seating area If you're in the mood. You also have the option to preorder online and pick up. R&R is a great option.

    Great selection of donuts, even better selection of beverages! I got a Chocolate Banana Donut and an Iced Matcha Tea Latte. The Donut was incredible. The Chocolate filling was between a pudding texture and a cream, but it wasn't overly sweet. The Matcha Tea Latte was refreshing with it's earthy notes and hint of sweetness. I can't wait to visit and try something a smoothie next!!

    Our glazed doughnut.

    Got there decided to go through the drive thru as the parking lot is small. The entrance is hard to get into. There was a young woman outside who took our order 3 glazed doughnuts and a hot tea. Within seconds another young woman came out the side door and gave us our order. Here we are in drive thru and never make it to the drive thru window. We drove through the drive thru, it is so close to the exit at Nusenda we were glad it was a slow morning at Nusenda. Neither entrance or exit is comfortably safe. Much to our surprise the doughnuts were not round, a four clover shape. The glaze is good, not too sweet. The dough was puffy,has a decent taste. My tea was fine. The experience was very weird from entering and exiting in small areas, to giving my order to a person standing outside to the order being given to us out a side door.

    Dozen donuts

The service is friendly and their pizza trailer is supposed to open next week - these folks are putting in the work, and it's a pleasure to give them business. Also, the default on their credit card payment is "no tip" - you have to act affirmatively to add a tip. I always tip ($2 on $3.50 today), but these days (we've all seen the articles about the discomfort at these screens) it's really nice to see a business that isn't ramming it down the customer's throat. Great business.

I hit up the Gnomad crew for my Sunday morning jolt of starter fluid (aka coffee). Drink of choice was a 16 oz mocha at the $5 price point. Taste was high on the complexity scale with the usual coffee & chocolate flavors being joined by a posse of roasted nuttiness notes and, to my tongue, a very faint floral shading reminiscent of lavender at the finish. Either that or I need to get my taste buds recalibrated. Nonetheless, it was a cuppa caffeine that danced lively until it was all gone. The downside of the Gnomad Coffee truck is it's location in the hinterlands of Rio Rancho, on Cherry Road just a bit north of Northern Blvd. One of those "You might need a Boy Scout and a couple mules to get there" kind of places. Another hit is that, at this point in time, they haven't yet developed their in-house food service after abandoning their vendoring of Rebel Donuts as comestibles to accompany their bodacious coffee. So it's drinks only at present. The upside of the Gnomie crew is the Gnomie crew's friendly welcome & outgoing personality. Brandon was a kick to hang with on a crystal clear winter morning with about 30 hot air balloons festooning the sky. Great folks.

My son loved the cherry blossom the most. On all of them, the cake part was too heavy with little flavor so he ended up eating the tops only. We also tried the prickly pear which was good but in our opinion, all of their doughnuts are lacking the sweetness you can expect when eating a doughnut for breakfast. We think there needs to be more icing on them since they are all cake based. The salted butter didn't have much flavor, but the chocolate was pretty good. My son liked the maple doughnut also. I really enough my cappuccino, but it was tiny for $4.50. The flavor was really good, and they use Little Bear coffee. The atmosphere inside was clean and inviting. The service was good. Not much chitchat or smiles, but friendly enough. The pricing is very high, but you do get 10% off if you order six. We paid nearly $30 for 6 doughnuts. It's a little too fancy for my son and I, but I know there are plenty of folks that love doughnuts that are more cake based and not as sweet, so enjoy! Cheers!
