“ Really great coffee with excellent indoor and outdoor seating, and good food too! We’ve tried their savory crepes and avocado toast, and it was all very good. Also excellent location, close to a number of downtown parks. ”
“ Was looking for my coffee fix & Contrast was better than expected. They have very good espresso & bonus, gluten free bakery options. My mom experienced some confusion with her order about drink size & number of pastries ordered, a printed receipt would have been helpful. Nice space, nicely renovated in a historic building. Overall a fun vacation coffee stop. ”
