Chill interior, no traditional coffee options is misleading.think of it as a caffeine bar I guess.

Just a noisy place either full of students occupied and a cool place with loads of books for surfing some stuff . A quirky story

I was in the area checking out the Hillbert museum and came through the orange town square for lunch and a coffee afterward. Picked this spot among the many coffee options because of the high rating. It was stuffed with what I believe were either Chapman U students or local high schoolers, getting harder to tell the difference as I age. This is an all cold brew on draft place (also matches and non coffee cold drinks). No espresso drinks. My cold brew was very good with delicate flavors (had it black) the kids seemed to prefer the more sugary confections. Oh to be a student again! They also have a little stationary store in back.Vegetarian options: Coffee ☕️!Dietary restrictions: Caffeine!Parking: Street and lots.Kid-friendliness: SureWheelchair accessibility: Yes

Absolutely lovely spot. Great vibe, bright and welcoming even on a gloomy day. Mixed seating options. Staff was pleasant and sweet. Menu was inventive and Asian inspired. Great range of choices. I had a Sakura matcha and it was delicious. Very fragrant floral, just enough sweetness to balance the matcha.

The drinks are Devine and they use all non dairy milks to cater to the non dairy market. All drinks are cold and I enjoyed the lychee tea which the barista recommended as per her favorite on the list. Plenty of seating and beautifully displayed with fun records, plaques, clothes, unique sayings and art. What a fun atmosphere for your favorite non traditional friends and family!
So this is probably because I am a black coffee kind of guy, but most of their drinks are too sweet and/or are in general not working for me. I just get their Stay Woke and stay woke because it's pretty strong. Still, I have experimented with their matcha and other flavored drinks as well as pastries and I'd say it's not quite hitting the mark for the price.The service is pretty good but the outstanding part is the atmosphere. I love that they have a stationary sub-store in the store and a nice free library as well as good lit for sale in the store. A pretty busy - beehive-like - atmosphere to work in, if that's your thing.

Overall, good experience. Coffee is slightly pricey, but the service and atmosphere make up for it. Quality is high and love the oat milk only option.Definitely want to come back sometime.

Drinks were delicious and came out fast. We got the Ube Thai Tea and the Horchata. Both were delicious.Loved that everything was naturally dairy free.10/10 would come back.One downside note: packed with college students on their laptop. We couldn't find a place to sit inside.Dietary restrictions: Everything was oatmilk based so naturally dairy free!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Bathrooms, seats, and counters were wheelchair accessible

What a GEM! I am totally in love with Contra!!! It is located in Old Town Orange, there is street parking as well as a parking lot across the street. Restroom is in the back and requires a key.The ambiance in Contra is very comfy, warm and inviting!!! The few times I've visited, there is always a line which is a good sign and the line is worth the wait. Customer service is always friendly, turn around time to get your goodies it not long at all. I absolutely love that they have plenty of good options which include a coffee flight which is hard to find. Foxie is my fave as well as Daisy. Everyone I know that has been to Contra have good things to say. I would definitely recommend and come back again!

Ordered: Foxy Cleopatra / Rating it a 9 out of 10 Ghost Malone / Rating it a 10 out of 10 Service was great! The staffs were really nice and helpful. They had my drinks ready less than 5 minutes. The ambiance was nice and clean. The cafe was very spacious and welcoming. I had a really good experience here, and I plan on visiting again.
Dirty horchata rocks !
