Ziggi's Coffee

albuquerque's specialty coffee scene is quieter than its reputation sometimes lets on, but the spots worth knowing tend to hold their ground with real conviction. ziggi's coffee on menaul boulevard ne is one of those. it sits on a stretch of northeast albuquerque that doesn't draw tourists, which means the people who end up here are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice. the tea program is genuinely worth your attention, not just a footnote to the espresso side of the menu. if you're the kind of person who thinks better alone with a good drink and no pressure to leave, the solo-friendly setup suits that well. brunch hours give you a reason to show up before noon. the tea is a good reason to come back.
