Love this place. The choice of beverages is great. Especially the Sisu coffee drink which is AMAZING!!
The staff is uniformly efficient, friendly, casual and real people.
We stop here daily when in the area.
There's always a variety of locals and visitors chatting, working on laptops, enjoying the welcoming atmosphere.

This place knows coffee and coffee drinks. They don't saturate with sweet syrups; they do the job right. It's as hip a coffee-shop vibe as you'll find anywhere, with great service. We stopped at least once a day during our camping trip! And after sticking with our camping tradition of tearing down tents in the rain, we ate quiche for breakfast at Contrast. It was fantastic! Five stars +

Found this little gem while we were exploring a couple of nearby antique shops. Love the coffee and the breakfast quiche we ordered. The quiche I believe was a meat lovers style and comes with a balsamic glaze. Don't skip the glaze...I ordered on the side as I wasn't sure about a balsamic glaze on eggs BUT it was great and really elevated the quiche. The coffee was outstanding. My wife SISU was as she says...too die for....

Passing through Ironwood Contrast was a complete surprise. Located in a great town, Contrast Coffee offered amazing cold brew that tasted like the hipster Brooklyn and Manhattan spots I frequent. Delicious home made goods and cool merch. They were great with their covid-mask wearing and enforced it for all that entered. Thanks again!

I never would have believed that such a small, down and out appearing town would have a shop like this. Delicious fresh espresso and friendly staff. I loved it so much that we're passing back through on our way from WI into the UP tomorrow!

It’s a cute place on a nice block. The sizes were pretty small and the prices weren’t great. But the drinks were pretty good.

Friendly and helpful, good choice of breakfast options and great coffee that you can taste. It’s also open early, even at weekends, which is ideal for travellers.

I don't get coffee from coffee shops that often, but when I do it's Contrast! I'm telling you, this is the place to get coffee in Ironwood. It must be magic or something! So good.

We stopped in while doing a little shopping. We were welcomed immediately upon entering. We tried their coffee and our son got a hot chocolate. Both were very good in flavor and strength. We also tried the sweet almond scone and the eggnog muffin. Both were moist and not dry at all. It had a quiet atmosphere, even with most tables filled. We will definitely be stopping by again, next time we are in town.

Decided to give it a try after the hotel coffee wasn’t hacking it. Very cute space and the coffee hit the spot. It was so good we came back again a second day. Staff was friendly. Service was fast. Pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Ironwood. Tried the cold brew, nitro, and espresso. Very pleased. If I was in town again, I’d make sure to stop.

Enjoyed our visit here. My husband said his cold brew was excellent, I had a latte and it was okay. The raspberry scone (danish style) was so good! The servers were friendly and pleasant. Would definitely go back here if we were staying in the area.

Coffee is fabulous.. pastries are an added treat. Definitely worth the drive in on a cold winter morning.

Stopped in to check it out. It is something I would expect in a larger city from the decor to the menu. Had the Tannenbaum with Matcha tea. Was absolutely amazing! A must try!
