Rust Is Gold Coffee

"I really enjoy this coffee shop, all my drinks have been good. They have a nice selection of pastries and food, great vegan options. My only complaint is that there is a very strong air freshener or room fragrance odor. It is very overwhelming to me, and I’m not usually sensitive to perfumes or scents. My go to drink is an americano and while the drink is very good there is a hint of the fragrance in the after taste so it’s not as enjoyable as it has been before. This isn’t the first time the scent in the shop has been strong but this is the first time I’ve noticed it in my drink. Everything else about this place is great, plenty of space to meet up with friends or get some work done."

"Chill coffee shop with vintage biker decor, good pastries and vegan burritos, with a bonus they allow good dogs inside! Coffee is solid, nothing frilly, just good."

"Family vibes and amazing times. RIG crew works so hard, and it doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you guys for all of your hard work and dedication to moto family and our abq community! Much love from The LabWorks Performance!"

"This place is so cool. Went on a Sunday and it was full of wonderful energy. The staff is so attentive and sweet. The vegan burritos are absolutely delicious and the coffee is so smooth and rich! Another plus is that they’re open til 5pm! Thank you for catering to vegans/vegetarians, you have my business forever."

"I've been in a few countries and a few different cafes around the world, and Rust is Gold (RiG) is the first place I've seen to take advantage of a mechanic's need for a good cup of Joe in the morning. Combining the best of both worlds, coffee and gearhead culture, Rust is Gold scratches that itch some of us might not have known we had. The day I pulled up, there was a bike meet outside, along with a couple of classic cars and a book signing by the front door. As I walked inside, there was a DJ turntable set up immediately to the right of the doorway with low-fi beats playing and the place was packed. I took a look around, snapped some shots of the place, and checked out the merch along the north wall of the store. There was an old cigarette machine which gave me a laugh as I looked closer at it and realized it wasn't loaded with cigarettes, but small packets of RiG's coffee for sale. I grabbed some stickers, and two cans of coffee to go to take to work that week and made for the counter. I don't remember what I had that day, as it was a special, but I remember it tasted like black cherries. Proceeds were going to the local ASPCA, and I figured if it was the special why not. I looked at the mix of people in the room chatting it up, and waited for my coffee thinking about why no one in the world had tried this before. It wasn't long before I got my order, took a sip and headed back out on the road. If you like what you are reading, stop on in, and maybe bring your friends and your bikes, or cars, or whatever motorized conveyances you have."
