Contender Coffee truly packs a punch in the world of coffee. I stopped by for a cappuccino and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The open space was inviting as the coffee, providing a nice ambiance for getting some work down. Plus, there's an interesting bonus - you get free boxing with your purchase! What a unique and enjoyable add-on to the coffee experience. They also had a nice, friendly dog that welcomed you.

This place is great and the owners are really nice. It's attached to Park Gym and you get a free lesson when you sign up. I did boxing and I loved it. They have these smoothie bowls that are delicious and worth the trip. Love it!

Amazing coffee, even better smoothies, and great vibes for this neighborhood cafe/boxing gym on divis in the heart lower pac heights

Contender coffee knocked out my jaded coffee heart with nuanced and fruity espresso. Jay is the heavyweight champ of barista-ing and is able to uniquely break down the flavor profiles of the espresso beans they're currently serving and match them with a perfectly curated drink for you. Next time you're in there, I highly recommend an iced americano or even a couple of shots on their own before you step into the ring.

Best coffee! Very clean gym with excellent instructors.

If you ignored the fact that this is inside a gym, it's a typical coffee shop. Pricing on their drinks and food are just about right if you go once in awhile. You could sit about 8-10 people indoor and 4 outdoor. You'll come across a lot of its gym merch around the shop. It's a nice spot to to meet up in the morning for a drink while relieving some stress with the boxing gears they have in the facility.

Attentive, friendly and good service! Offered water during our long stay using their internet!
They're really a boxing gym first and a coffee shop second, but they have great WiFi, friendly staff, healthy smoothies named after boxing, and they're open all day.

7.60$ for a vanilla latte with regular milk. Ridiculous and the layers are very average

I am in love with the Mean Green Machine smoothie. It tastes amazing and just the right consistency. I've had two different barista's in the morning; both kind people. Great place. The atmosphere gives you energy.

Love it when someone leaves a 2 star review just because they don't believe a new business should have good reviews. Thanks for persuading me to leave my first yelp review. The owner and the people working here are all super friendly and they have bomb drinks. They already have regulars coming in so you know it must be good Tried three drinks so far (chai, smoothie, and arnold palmer) and they were all solid! Cafe space has outlets, good sunlight, good views, and I'm excited to check out their classes.
