Came for a car show in the parking lot. But gained a new spot for a coffee in the mornings. The staff were friendly and answered questions regarding their menu.
I ordered an iced Americano coffee with Hazelnut and cream. So good. I would recommend others to come check out Rust Is Gold Coffee.
Bonus: they offer active military/veteran discount.

Great prices, good drinks, & cool ambiance
One of my new favorite spots! The blueberry donuts are unreal—perfectly soft, fresh, and bursting with flavor. And the lavender honey iced coffee? Absolutely delicious and so unique. It’s the perfect balance of floral and sweet without being overpowering. The vibe is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to relax or catch up with a friend. Highly recommend stopping in—you won’t be disappointed!

Googled “coffee near me” and it brought me here. The coffee, the service, the breakfast burrito- absolutely gold. No understatement. Simply the best toasted breakfast burrito in the city.. so delicious! They have a ton of latte flavor options which I love!
Such a great surprise!

Had an iced mocha, gross. Had a little bit of ice, not much flavor. Maybe their hot coffee is better, idk. Not going to try it.

Fuel, Grit, and a Damn Good Cup: A Coffee Break at Albuquerque’s Two-Wheeled Haven
Not every coffee shop needs to whisper. Some should growl.
Tucked into a weathered corner of Albuquerque, this moto-inspired café doesn’t bother with minimalist Scandinavian design or lavender oat milk foam art. No, this place runs on gasoline dreams and the hiss of a working espresso machine—equal parts garage and gathering place, with the rich aroma of freshly ground beans layered over the subtle scent of engine oil and leather.
It’s a space where chrome and caffeine coexist, and where the walls don’t just decorate, they mean something—adorned with vintage helmets, custom bike sketches, and road-worn relics that speak to long-haul rides and rebel hearts. And while the motorcycles may line the lot outside, it’s the coffee that roars the loudest.
The espresso? Sharp, clean, and unapologetic. The drip? Solid enough to make you ditch your usual chain-order loyalty. There’s no over-embellishing here—no gimmicks, just a straight-up good cup made by people who know their craft. The baristas aren’t trying to be your therapist or your DJ—they’re focused, efficient, and quietly cool.
The seating is generous and unpretentious—sprawled across communal tables, repurposed metal stools, and sun-soaked patios where boots outnumber loafers. You might find a mechanic next to a laptop freelancer, both sipping the same single-origin roast with the same look of satisfaction.
This isn’t a curated “vibe.” It’s a lived-in space—spoiled only in the sense that it feels like it shouldn’t exist in such polished times. It’s too real for influencers, too raw for brand deals, and just right for anyone who prefers their coffee black and their spaces with soul.
Call it a pit stop, a hideout, or a haven—but whatever you do, don’t miss it. This is where good coffee meets the open road, and both are better because of it.

The owners are just great guys that work very hard. Very difficult time to open a business these days, they did a great job. Love the coffee! Still my favorite coffee shop!
Years later... still my favorite coffee shop!

I like dark roast burnt toast flavor in my coffee, and RisG Espresso is the best I have had in 20 years. Excellent! Not bitter, not sour, DELICIOUS!
All the hard surfaces make the inside a bit loud, but still a fun and interesting space.
There is outdoor seating.
This has become the favorite coffee shop for my wife and I. She introduced me to a Lavender & Honey, 2 Espresso shots, best mix of dark savory and light sweet! Personally I add a third espresso shot, mmmmmm.
The staff and owners are great.
DEFINITELY check out this coffee shop!

Excellent customer service and the coffee and pastries are excellent as well.
Love this place. Whenever we travel thru, we pay them a visit. On the 3rd Friday of the month they have a band playing, Micah Thunder & the Lightning are playing tonight, May 16, 2025. The atmosphere is great, family oriented. My niece got me dancing. Highly recommend you stop by and have a latte.
