albuquerque's specialty coffee scene has been quietly building for years, drawing in roasters and independent shops that treat the high desert seriously. café chica on central ave sw sits at a stretch of albuquerque that carries real history, the old route 66 corridor running straight through the heart of the city. you don't stumble onto central ave by accident, and a shop holding its ground there says something about staying power. the reviews here back that up consistently, pointing to a place that people return to rather than just check off. whatever you're ordering, the afternoon light on that strip of central is reason enough to linger over a second cup.
