How have I been missing out on Contra Coffee for so long? Stopped by on a Monday morning before some thrifting in Downtown Orange and this place is so cool. They have a bunch of coffees on tap in addition to a diverse selection of craft speciality coffees. They also do flights if you want to try more than one! I asked the staff for his recommendation and as soon as he said the words "oolong coffee" I was sold. It's like milk tea meets espresso latte. It was so good and so creamy! There's so much seating inside here, I just wish there were a few more outdoor seating options. There's also a few shops in the back (not open when we stopped by), including a record store. This place has a great vibe for sure. I'll definitely be back!
My favorite thing about Contra is that they offer a coffee and/or tea flight. I wish more places did this because you're able to get a small taste of their offerings. I was surprised at how affordable it was. I'm not sure why I was expecting it to be more expensive, but the Liftoff is currently priced at $12. You're able to add four of the coffee or teas on their tap list. I went with the Dirty Horchata, Gold Rush, Prince Palmer, and Princess Daisy. The Dirty Horchata really is THAT girl. This was my favorite of the bunch. My least favorite was the Prince Palmer. It was an iced early grey tea with lemonade. I didn't like the bergamot with lemonade combo. It wasn't for me. They used crushed ice and the order came out within seconds. Contra was busy today. It had a mix of students and people strolling through the Orange Circle. There are quite a few tables and chairs. We didn't have an issue snagging a spot to sit, but I did see some people waiting around for people to leave their seats. Overall, it was a cool spot, and I'm definitely coming back to try the Hazelnut Milktini. It sounds divine!
I didn't realize how many coffee shops in Old Towne there were! I chose this one since it had a record store and stationery store in the back (but came too early so both were closed anyways lol). Also I saw someones Kuya latte and decided I #needed a purple drink. I got exactly that, a Kuya Latte with oatmilk. It wasn't $10 so I consider that a win. I don't think they use espresso because they don't have a machine, but I could be wrong. The drink was made incredibly fast and I enjoyed it! My friend got the Dirty Horchata and loved it. I tried a sip and I am definitely getting this next time I come. I took 1 star off because even though I had fine service, my friend had some complaints. There were some miscommunications and due to the vibe she got from the workers, she didn't feel comfortable conversing with them further. She asked for her drink hot but was given iced. If she would have told me that before we left the store, I would've asked for her, but I know not everyone has that opportunity.
My s/o and I order the kuya latte and melo 2.0. My favorite was the kuya latte ( more on the sweeter side, yum) both were very delicious. Very spacious, great for studying. People are nice, chill vibe. I would come back again. I forgot to mention. They have record and a cute supplies they sale in the back. Something to check out while you wait for your drink.
Was looking for a place to get matcha in Orange and stumbled upon Contra. Parking was easy to find on a Friday morning. I went in and did not have to wait long to order and to get my order. The Strawberry Fields was great you can taste the strawberry which gave the matcha a sweet taste without drowning out both the strawberry and matcha. The drink also wasn't too sweet! The vibes inside is spacious and I wish I had more time to explore around but I'll definitely be coming back when I come down to Orange again
We got the liftoff and chose to try the love bird, trailblazer, gold rush, and dirty horchata. Service was alright, cashier was not very friendly or helpful. Seemed like she didn't really wanna. Our favorite was the dirty horchata, quite actually the only one we enjoyed. Trailblazer literally tasted and smelled like compost. Gold rush (Vietnamese coffee)- "is the Vietnamese coffee in the room with us?" It was bland and watered down, with a strange sweetness. Love birds was decent, also watered down. Has a boba taste. The caffeine did its job but i'd be interested to try the specials because these were disappointing flavor wise considering the overall rating of the shop.
This is easily one of the coolest and trendiest spaces I've stumbled upon in the area. I found it by accident while searching for a coffee shop where I could grab tea and use the restroom--and I'm so glad I did. There's a stationery vendor in the back, though it was closed when I visited. On my way to the restroom, I passed by the vinyl record area, which looked incredibly cool. The walls are lined with unique art and reading materials that really add to the vibe of the space. I also loved the menu, especially the creative drink names. I ordered the Lucky Cat tea and asked for it lightly sweetened--it came out perfect. The tea quality was great, and overall, the experience exceeded my expectations.
Just outside the Orange Circle sits Contra Coffee & Tea, a creative, community-driven spot that's so much more than a café -- it's a whole vibe. The spot is spacious, clean, and effortlessly cool, with people studying, chilling, listening to music, and just settling into their own little worlds. One thing I love about Contra is that it feels like a micro-community hub. Wander toward the back and you'll find a charming stationery shop stocked with pens, journals, and gifts, plus a vinyl section curated by Resident Vinyl where you can browse records and maybe discover your next favorite album. The décor ties everything together with an artsy, eclectic flair -- the kind of place where you instantly feel creative energy buzzing. Service was top-notch, thanks to Jocelyn and John, who were friendly, informative, and more than willing to walk us through the menu. I asked about their growlers -- such a smart idea for anyone who comes often since you get discounted refills -- but they were sold out. Definitely would've taken one home if they had them in stock! Now the drinks... Contra does not play. We tried the winter seasonal Sleigh Ride (a peppermint-mocha dream with vanilla bean foam and a cozy cocoa dusting) and That's My Jam, a sweetened matcha latte that hit every note just right. Then, honoring my Filipino roots, I had to go for the Kuya and Ate Lattes -- ube Vietnamese coffee and ube Thai tea. Rich, vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully colored -- the type of drinks that make people stop and ask, "Where'd you get that?" Just keep in mind everything comes in one size, so choose wisely! Between the drinks, the atmosphere, and the unique little shops inside, Contra is absolutely worth putting into your Old Towne Orange rotation. It's the kind of place you come for a latte and end up staying for the experience. Renew your brew, renew your mood -- Contra delivers every time.
The circle is definitely saturated with so many coffee shops but this place is a must! The flavor of these drinks was amazing. We have never finished a coffee faster. Fair pricing and super quick service but I do feel like the drink to ice volume is a little low. While you're there you can browse local art, a record store, and stationary store. Tons of indoor seating. Also the place appears dog and family friendly.
Great spot for fun, cool (and only iced) coffee drinks, complete with vinyl records on sale and a stationery shop in back. Finally drove out here to meet a friend early on Sat. There is a nearby lot just opposite and further down orange that is free (labeled with a "Public Parking" orange sign). Note: the inner shops open late morning. Thirty minutes after opening, only one couple was studying at the high tops. There were several tables for two, side seating, and a consistent stream of customers as it neared late morning. Loved the Gonna Be Golden (vietnamese egg custard coffee with a touch of cinnamon), which as the cashier said indeed was "fire." I liked that is was not overly sweet, similar to a 25-50% level at Da Vien, and the coffee was shining through nicely. Heh heh. My friend enjoyed her cookie hojicha latte and said she could taste the hojicha well. I love that all drinks are made with oat milk (though I still confirmed that there was ofc lactose in mine with the custard cap). I wish they had a couple of hot drink options, but even in SoCal winters, we all love our iced drinks (so it is understadable). I plan to bring back my family here to check out the vinyl and fun iced drinks in the future.
One of my fave coffee shops in Orange circle! Great space to do work and study Cute lil vinyl and stationary store too Love the variety of choices here Coffee tea and matcha and everything in between! Got their dirty horchata and my friend got the contra blanc Both were solid read more
Stopped off at Contra in Orange after taking the train up from San Diego. I was looking for a coffee shop close by with good reviews and decided on this gem of a location! There were only a couple of people in line in front of me and several patron sitting at tables, talking with friends or working. Service was quick which is always a plus, too -- overall a great vibe inside. We ordered the Melo 2.0 (caramel latte with a cold foam top) and the Suede (mocha dusted brown sugar latte). Both were delicious, but the Melo 2.0 was the clear favorite! It was smooth and flavorful without being too sweet. Meanwhile, the Suede was strong in espresso flavor which I personally love. I'd absolutely recommend coming to this place! Side note: it is coffee on draft so there are no hot drinks. I personally prefer hot drinks; however, these were so good, I'd absolutely come back. read more
Parking is street parking only, and you'll need to pay through ParkMobile. The coffee shop is super cute with plenty of seating. I ordered the Hazelnut Milktini, and it was delicious with the hazelnut and horchata combo. It was the perfect sweetness combo (not overly sweet). Recommendation(s): - Hazelnut Milktini Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Street parking (pay using ParkMobile) - Plenty of indoor seating read more
I liked the matcha but I don't think it's the best one in town. It's open late so if I needed a place to go to..I'd make a stop here. Nothing special in the drinks or in flavor. It's a cute little coffee place. The service was good. read more

Been back four times now, so that should tell you something. Tried the January special Gonna Be Golden -- Vietnamese coffee with custard, cream, and cinnamon. Smooth, bold, and perfectly balanced. Contra Coffee is a solid go-to in Orange. Consistent, creative, and worth coming back to. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this coffee joint! It's Vietnamese influenced and the drinks are more than delicious. The drafts are mounted on the wall behind the counter. They also sell the coffee in jugs. There's also a record store and a small gadgets shop inside the coffee shop, super cute. My only mini complaint is that the pastry cabinet was empty when we got there at 2pm on a Saturday. Will def visit again! read more
It had been a while since I last came here, but my girlfriend wanted to try it out to study and check out their drinks. The shop was pretty busy inside, mostly filled with people studying or working on laptops. We managed to find a table, but seating can be a little limited when it's crowded. Parking around the area can also be tricky depending on the time of day. Service was fine -- nothing really stood out either way. The overall vibe felt organized despite the busyness. We ordered two drinks, one matcha-based and another coffee drink that had a matcha cream topping (forgot the exact names). Both were tasty and well-made, though definitely on the pricier side compared to similar cafés. Overall, a decent experience. The drinks were enjoyable and the space has a nice, productive energy, but I'm not sure I'd come back specifically to study since it gets packed. Still, a solid stop if you're in the area and want a unique coffee or matcha drink. read more

Came in just when they opened on a Tuesday and was the second person here! I never realized how big the space was until it was empty. I ordered the Melo 2.0 craving a coffee after not having it for some time and it definitely hit the spot! I love caramel but always think it's too much in a drink but they made it just right! Would definitely order again read more
Originally, I wanted to see the stationery shop but I ended up grabbing some drinks on a Sunday afternoon. This cafe is SUPER packed, it looks popular with students for studying. It was hard to find a place to sit but I enjoyed the two other smaller stores inside for browsing and light shopping. All of the drinks on the menu had really fun fusion ideas. Lucky cat - 5/5, kumquat mango green tea is so good!!! My usual concern with these kinds of drinks is they taste super artificial and are generally too sweet, but this was perfect! The green tea flavor still comes through and the two fruits balance each other's sweetness and tartness out. Love bird - 5/5, the coffee flavor is strong and in combination with the oolong milk tea was a really interesting and delicious drink! read more

Great spot & fast service! I love that they have different varieties. Super cute spot to meet for a meeting, work or homework! I got the Dirty Horchata which is made with their homemade horchata, super delicious - not too sweet, not too bitter! read more
1. The coffee was well-crafted! It was strong and delicious! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is very spacious! 3. There were only indoor seatings! There were a good number of tables available! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my drink! It was ready in 5 mins! 5. There is a free parking lot and street parking available! There are time-limits to the parking! Note: This spot does have a restroom available for customers! Photo: Gold Rush read more

My favorite coffee shop to visit in Orange bc of their delicious and unique flavors and coffee on tap. It's one-of-a-kind! My favorite is the Lovebird which is coffee with oolong milk tea. Husband's fav is the Foxy Cleopatra- coffee with Thai tea. So flavorful, no other coffee/tea/boba shop does it like Contra! read more
I had been wanting to visit Contra for awhile and finally made it happen this weekend and now am upset that it took me this long. Still not over how cute and vibey this place is. It's the new age trendy shop with a DJ spinning catchy tunes at a mild volume so people can work on their laptops or have conversations. It's the shop with heaping piles of vinyl's to peruse through and pick from. It's the shop with coffee and tea on tap!! It's the place with an open and airy interior that makes you feel calm yet energized. Ordered "The Best Friend" which is a brown sugar matcha latte with their house made oat milk. I thought it was good and unique in that the brown sugar was in a cold foam that eventually melted into the matcha latte. Did I think it was one of the best drinks ever? No. Did the atmosphere elevate the bevvy? Yep. I will absolutely be back as they have a newfound recurring customer in me. read more

It's a great place to work and be productive at, really loved the decor here. I got the Ate Latte (Ube & Thai Tea). My friends got Cactus Coolada and Hey Arnold! It was my first time trying ube and Thai tea flavors together, I don't think it's my favorite combo. But the drink looks so pretty! My friends enjoyed their drinks, both were very refreshing. I'll definitely come back to try their other drinks! read more

Their matcha lattes are soooo good! I'm a little particular about the taste in matcha and this one is exactly how I like it. I will definitely come back to try their coffee because if the matcha tastes this good, I'm excited for the rest of their menu. read more
I'd had this place bookmarked for a while and I was really looking forward to coming here. I always check coffee menus before going and saw they have my most coveted Ube lattes. Fair warning: this place ONLY has iced coffee and tea, NO hot beverages at all. Not an issue for me since all I ever order is iced, but my husband who was with me was outta luck. Their pros: the ube latte was delicious. Only comes in one size. I also tried an almond croissant, which was also tasty. They have books as well as a small record shop inside the space. I have also seen they occasionally play live music. Their cons: limited seating. This place is very popular, and their inside space is limited. We got lucky and sat by their window seats (literally in the window nook), but saw others having to take their coffees to go. While I enjoyed my drink, I'm not sure my experience was as enjoyable. Not sure how soon I'd come back here if at all. read more
The drinks were okay! They had a unique selection but the execution was a little lacking. We ordered the Ate Latte (ube thai tea), the Lilikoi (passion fruit matcha), and the basic matcha latte. The flavor for all of them were a little watered down and the matcha wasn't whisked thoroughly so there were clumps at the bottom of the cup. The shop had a cute stationary section and the vibes of the cafe were super cute so they get extra stars :) Ratings The Lilikoi: 3.25/5 Ate Latte: 3.5/5 That's My Jam (basic matcha): 3/5 read more

Contra's specialty drinks on tap are their well-known sensation. Each drink at Contra was uniquely formed and named which really brings out each's personality. The tea flight is a highlight, especially the combination of thai tea and viet coffee. Each drink was so well-balanced and refreshing. The ambiance is productive and adorned with modern tones of artistry and wall art. read more

This place DOESNOTMISS. I'm in Cali once a month and this is my go to coffee shop to get work done. The art/albums/ and aesthetics always help contribute to my creative process. The employees are always super nice/ outgoing and always make the best recommendations. I ended up getting an iced vanilla latte with a ham and cheese croissant (not pictured) and it did the job and then some! Huge fan of this place! read more

If I had to choose a favorite cafe in the Orange Circle, Contra Coffee would be my top choice. Plenty of seating, great customer service, and cool little shops in the cafe. The Kuya latte is an amazing drink for Ube lovers - you can taste the distinct Ube taste while getting the bittersweet aftertaste of their coffee. read more
this is a coffee place that's quick to give you your order of coffee. All their coffees are on tap so it makes it pretty easy to just grab n go. I would say it's a slight variation from what you would experience at a Philz coffee. The interior is constantly lively and seeing every chair always filled with someone's butt in it. Coffee is solid, and if you don't like your drink let them know and they'll fix it the way you like it. read more

This cafe is such a cool spot! It has plenty of seating and even a record shop inside, which adds to the unique vibe. They also have a lot of creative drinks, and while unique drinks can sometimes be hit or miss, the ones here are actually really good. The barista, Chris, was super helpful in recommending drinks and adjusting the sweetness to our preference. I got the Lovebirds with Earl Grey foam, and it was amazing--the Earl Grey foam added a nice floral touch. My partner got the Foxy Cleopatra, and it was perfectly sweet. Usually, Vietnamese coffee and Thai tea are both really sweet, but this drink had the perfect balance read more

Ask the Community - Contra Coffee & Tea
Are we talkin' only awesome drinks, but no food items at all?
They tend to have a small selection of baked goods such as donuts, ham/cheese croissants, etc. However, they usually run out in the morning wheras they are open all day.
Do you allow dogs inside?
I don't work there but they haven't had an issue so far with my 90 lb Goldendoodle. They did ask me to not put his cone on the tables but other than that they have been totally welcoming with him. The staff have even come from behind the counter… Read more
Is it hard to find parking here? i heard the nearby street parking is permit-only & the parking lot across gets crowded fast.
There is 2 hour street parking and a parking lot across the way. If you do a pass by once or twice, you're bound to find a spot.
This place is listed as having outdoor seating. Is that still available?
The only outdoor seating are the two small tables with 2 chairs each.
Are any of the coffees unsweetened?
Yes! They have a few purely cold brew options with no add-ins.
Are they dog friendly 🐶?
Do you offer decaf options?
Yes! There was one coffee decaf and one tea decaf on the menu.
Are there outlets to plug in to around the outdoor seating area?
there are a few! it's mostly alongside the walls, & those seats get filled up fast if you come on a busy day.
Anyone know if Simplicitea is back on tap?
It's on their menu this week. They regularly post their taplist on their Instagram.
Will you be open 3/16 and that entire week? Just checking, since I know some places are closed for a bit due to Covid-19.
Unfortunately they will be closed until further notice. :/ I had an event that was supposed to happen there this past weekend and it got cancelled and was informed they'd be shutdown until things calm down with COVID-19.
How is the WiFi here? How would you rate this place for individual study or study groups?
WiFi is good at first but throughout the day when it gets busier it starts to get choppy. Individually in the morning and then groups usually form later in the day.
Do they have any muffins or other pastries?
Just recently they started carrying vegan donuts from Caffeinated Kitchen.
Do they have almond milk?
All of their "milk" bases are made with Rice milk. No dairy milk is used.
