CONTRA COFFEE and TEA

Contra coffee is close to the Orange Public Library. It has lots of yummy iced coffee and tea flavors on tap. The book store has a nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The coffee shop has tables where you can enjoy your coffee or study. It is a little off the beaten path. Look for this location it's worth it.

Was looking for a unique coffee spot while visiting friends in the area. I was quite surprised and fulfilled with what I came across. Coffee and tea on taps, with the option to mix the two. Some drinks I saw strolling by were quite eye catching and I'm sure delicious. Was there when a lot of college students were studying for finals. Which was refreshing as well. The book selection is good too. Classics, popular new books, and a random book you can buy at the register. It's wrapped so you can't see the cover, but has main themes written on the wrapping.

Will be back when I visit the area and direct people here who are visiting.

Rough. Bitter, tart, not smooth. Usually prefer specialty coffee, S/O espresso, or pour overs, but wanted to try this spot - definitely a spot to come and work remotely, or study, but if you know good coffee with multiple flavor profiles in it, choose elsewhere. Good for basic caffeine and a hang spot 👌

It's very nice inside. The decor is clearly intentional with art and literature well placed and accessible. There is lots of light and open space. It would be perfect to come in and hang out either reading, doing work, or other creative activities. However, there is not one single electrical outlet.

I'm sure this is on purpose, perhaps to invite people to disconnect and interact more organically. However, this seems to be in direct contradiction with the open and clean ambiance that invites one to come in and spend some time with a book, browsing the web, or catching up on work.

Would recommend for a quick drink, but would not recommend as a hangout place.

I enjoyed every moment that I visit in your shop. The foods and the coffee that I ordered taste very good and yummy. Overall, I like everything in your shop. I was hoping that I would come back to this shop again because I really loved the place, staff, coffee, and foods.

A three minute walk from my boyfriend's house. I haven't tried their coffee yet but their teas are really good. Juice Box, Princess Peach and their thai tea is super good. I need to try the rest of their menu or whatever they have on tap. I definitely recommend this place.

Great place. Cold brew on tap and they have tea as well. There's a variety of books to choose from to sit and read for a while. The music they play is great. I got the Gold Rush cold brew. It was delicious.

Contra is such a special space. From coffee and tea, a mini book store, to meeting spaces. Contra never fails to meet expectations for taste and ingenuity. They have their regular flavors like horchata coffee (my favorite), but they also come out with new flavors too! The same goes for their teas. The space is always clean, and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommend!

Basically chugged my coffee cause it was that good! Lots of unique coffees to choose from. Got The Melo (vanilla caramel latte with oat milk). But want to go back for other drinks!

Contra is one of the best coffeeshops I've been to. The staff is just amazing and super friendly. I don't drink coffee so I go for the tea, and the tea is amazing. Princess Peach and Juice Box are my absolute favorite combination.
