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.Vegetarian options: Generally they have some savory vegetarian offerings, they always have vegetarian friendly pastries.Dietary restrictions: They have at least one good gluten free pastry option everyday.

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.

Tasty coffee, cool merch, friendly staff, and vegan options set in a unique atmosphere. This motorcycle-themed coffee shop strikes the right balance between being a community hub for auto enthusiasts while being welcoming to a guy like me who prefers sitting around with books and journals.

Wonderful! This place isn't just a good coffee shop, it provides an experience. Several additional shops inside all focused on vintage provide a great reason to linger. The coffee shop was populated with regulars of all ages and background who all shared a common passion for vintage motorcycles. This place has so much soul!

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Drinks and food are very affordable compared to most coffee shops. They are both dog and vegan/ vegetarian friendly. The vegan breakfast burrito was amazing. And don't let the menu fool you: They have tons of drinks and flavors and are willing to help you build whatever you would like. I will definitely be coming back.

Great Coffee amazing space with a drive thru so buy local and pass on Staryucks. The owner and staff were super nice. The space was open and even has a really cool motorcycle shop on the side with vintage oil cans & merch.

The service is great and the coffee is good. Their chai latte is fine. I also got a scone that they carry from a local baker, I believe, and I do not recommend it. Overall, a pretty solid option for local coffee, especially since they have a drive thru.

Delicious coffee and great atmosphere. Only thing I noticed was my wife and daughter ordered first but the staff was talking to each other and they got confused on who was next. 3 people including me got our coffee orders before my wife and daughter got theirs.Kid-friendliness: They have a great atmosphere for families!

I was on a cycle trip fromMinnesota to Mexico. My rear tire went bald faster than expected. I was having my tire replaced a couple doors down so I had a hot choc while I waited. Steve was warm and welcoming. He even watched my stuff as I checked on my cycle. Very quickly Steve became someone I would call friend. Whatta guy and great coffee shop.Thanks Steve!

Rich, smooth flat whites and good plain old coffee. If you’re looking for a special treat, the green chile cheddar croissants are top notch. My partner can vouch for the vegan burritos too! The baristas are so friendly, and you’ll get a mix of bikers and non-bikers, all hanging out. The bikers even meet up during the Balloon Fiesta for morning glow rides! Cool vintage motorcycle helmets line the walls, and they have some cool jackets and hats for sale.Vegetarian options: Vegan burritosParking: Plenty of parking, even on Saturday morning. They have dedicated motorcycle spaces right in front.

Cool, local coffee shop that caters to bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts. Very cool atmosphere. I went during a week day and it was quiet enough for a couple folks to work on laptops, which is nice. I had an iced Americano and chocolate pecan muffin. The coffee was decent but all coffee tastes the same to me. The muffin was dry and not great. The counter service was lovely and the prices were surprisingly lower than most coffee shops.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy wheelchair access at front entrance. Bathrooms are toward the back but seem large enough to accommodate.

Very cool coffee shop we looked up while passing through on way back home to Minnesota. There are a few shops inside offering locally made products. Coffee was good. Not a lot of food items. They gave a rustic/ antique theme going which is right up our alley!
