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.

A snowy Saturday morning stopping in for a peppermint mocha with oat milk and a vegan chick'n biscuit sandwich.

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.

Sip your latte while you shop several boutique venders, get a haircut, and admire the quirky decor. Fun place to go.

They're still getting their bearings I think. Nice young lady at the counter. No decaf coffee.

This local coffee shop is deserving of five stars. There was enough parking in the lot, even though…read moreit's rather small. The grounds were clean and well cared for, and the patio seating is absolutely lovely. We walked in and we were greeted by friendly baristas. We both placed our order and then asked to use the restroom. They pointed us to the keys. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. I walked out and admired the Orbit theme in the building. It's been quite a while since I've entered the store and I don't recall the orbit theme. It was very tastefully done. Even the cups had orbits on them. I got a hot Turkish latte, and it was as good as I remembered. My husband just missed out on the dark roast coffee for the morning, so he had to settle for a medium blend. We took our drinks to go.

Wanted to go the one on University but they are closed on Saturday...so went to the next closest. I…read moregot a 10.00 for a birthday reward because I signed up with the rewards program so, I decided to use it. Nice clean quiet place to enjoy breakfast, lunch and a drink. They have a good variety of options and prices are decent. They have a nice outdoor seating area. Restrooms are roomy and clean. Staff is friendly and service was good. The only issue I have is part of my bread was rock hard and couldn't bite it not sure if it was stale and then when they heated it got harder or they heated it too long. The rest of the sandwich was good and tasty. My vanilla latte was good, just the right sweetness.
