It looks like Google Contacts can export as:
1. Google CSV
2. Outlook CSV
3. vCard (for iOS contacts)

1. Which should I choose?
2. After I choose one of the 3, what would be the next steps?
Choose either of the CSV exports. Open the CSV file with Excel, remove the contacts and columns you don't want. Select and copy the content. Open Word with a blank document, paste the copied content. Save as .docx and import the .docx file into calibre. Convert to epub.

If you are feeling enthused, you can reformat the .docx before importing to calibre.

edit: Personally, I can't think of any forum this really belongs in other than possibly General Discussions. It's not really a calibre, epub, Kobo, etc. issue.
