The variety of options made it easy to try something new and exciting! Catching the tail end of their cozy winter menu, I tried two specialty drinks. The first was called WHAT WINTER FORGOT, which included: ESPRESSO | CHAI | HONEY | CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE CACAO BITTERS | AROMA OF WINTER RAS EL HANOUT | FLAMED ORANGE PEEL | OAT MILK served hot The second I tried cold and was called THE DUELIST An "Old Fashioned riff; but totally appropriate for 9am" with ESPRESSO ANGOSTURA HONEY | ANGOSTURA BITTERS | AMARENA CHERRY | ORANGE PEEL | MILK | CHOICE OF WHISKEY OR BRANDY ESSENCE served hot or iced What was the verdict? The drinks were absolutely divine! The flavor of each individual cup walked me through a flavor journey I wasn't even prepared for! And that flamed orange peel was the 'icing on the cake' for me. Overall, thanks he drink menu at Discourse coffee shop elevated the entire experience and made for a memorable visit. I can't wait to come back and try more now that the new menu is in full swing!

I came here, first time, on a whim since it's close to where I reside and I always walk by it…read more I was out and about earlier in the day and wanted to have a nice sit down meal for myself. I love sandwiches and knew I had to try the pastrami. It was fantastic. I've been trying to cut back on caffeine and I instead went with one of their refreshers on the menu. It was I believe and 'Blue and Grapefruit' - and that wasn't my favorite as someone who doesn't really care for grapefruit that much. I got it thinking it would be diluted a bit, SO, if you like grapefruit, I'm sure it's perfect for you. I also got a peanut butter oreo pie and wish I took a picture of it...but I devoured it too quick to even think about it. For me, that dessert was the definite highlight of the cafe. I'll definitely come back on more weekends when I have a craving for pastrami.

First time here. It was a cold morning, so I stopped in for a hot beverage and something to eat…read more Food: For not being a coffee shop, they have an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte, with a little lavender and a little vanilla, in a mug. The barista did a nice job and gave the tea a good long steep. It had excellent flavor, and the temperature was right (about 140°F). It would have been even better with a bit more foam on top. For bakery items, they had a big pile of large cookies (cowboy?), but not much else. The food menu is a little sparse but has some good options for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. I ordered a Cubano sandwich, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It came out hot, with nicely grilled bread and savory meats inside. The roasted pork was especially tender and flavorful. It came with a small container of slaw, which was a little uninspiring. Service: The person who took my order and made my drink did a nice job. She took her time and did a good job with the drink. I appreciated that they delivered both the drink and the food to the table. She was a bit soft-spoken and a little hard to hear with the music playing. Efficient, but not especially outgoing. Atmosphere: The space has a bit of an industrial minimalist feel. High ceilings with the mechanicals in plain sight, along with colorful paint and design elements. Seating can accommodate groups of different sizes, though there aren't too many spots ideal for couples. The space can be a bit echoey, and the volume of the music could make conversation challenging at times. It's a nice spot for groups to hang out, and there was a larger table where people were working and collaborating. A decent spot for hanging out at lunch or later in the afternoon.

They took over the public cafe space at the Dubbel Dutch Hotel and partnered with Matilda, a local women owned and operated bakery that I like a lot! The latte was very smooth and rich. Personally I preferred stronger espresso, but I still enjoyed my cup here. The cold brew got a unique herbal and earthy taste and naturally sweet long lasting aftertaste - I thought some people would like the herbal part while others would avoid it. There's also a nice line of coffee beans from different countries and at different roast levels for purchase. The pastries were very good. Nice pairing with the coffee. Street parking is normally easy.

In my most recent visit, I was bummed to see how messy the place felt. Like not enough pride in keeping it tidy and cool. The upstairs specifically is pretty uninviting if I'm honest.

I chose from their spring specials menu, and it was a good choice. Wouldn't be my first choice of place to meet a friend for coffee or hang out, but popping in to take a drink to-go is a yes.

I was in shock on how good the new items are where I had gotten 3 drinks from here and were all amazing! I would highly recommend the Mermaid Melody, it tasted so much like fruity pebbles and I couldn't stop drinking it. The service is amazing and the people working are very lovely and I liked how friendly they were since I didn't know what to order due to the rebrand and I asked on what would be good and got recommended the mermaid melody. The place is very affordable and the quality and how well made the drinks are genuinely shocked me since I could spend roughly $8 on a 24oz drink for it to be amazing and shock me big time with the options they have and customization for each drink. Highly recommend coming here and I will be going back frequently over this summer to the place with friends.

However they do have fast service which is great. There isn't much seating inside the cafe itself so this is definitely more of a take out place. I would still give this place a try as it does often help fix my boba cravings.

The vibe of the place feels chill and inviting. We noticed people from different walks of life chilling inside, like one group having a business meeting, a student walking in to grab and go quickly, and someone waiting for their date to arrive. It was nice, I could see myself coming over to do some work if I need a place to concentrate while on my next family visit. Staff weren't the friendliest, but they did answer my questions, and they were fast with the orders. The place was clean and orderly, which is much appreciated. The menu isn't super huge but just good enough for most things you might want from a coffee shop. Decor also isn't out of this world, pretty bare bones but again clean and straight to the point. We ordered a few coffees, but mine in particular lives in my mind rent-free, highly recommend the Black Honey Latte, it was sooo goood!

They do have some unique blends and they were nice, but I feel that a nice tea cup would elevate the experience. Cold Brew Friend had the coffee - he said it was good. But he's not a coffee snob. Lol. Meadow tea Pleasant. Feels very herbal, and familiar. Carrot tea I have burdock tea all the time and the carrot tea tasted very similar to it. Marshmallow tea So I learned today that marshmallow is not the fluffy sweet white thing that goes in the middle of a s'more. Marshmallow tea was definitely unique, and I quite enjoyed it. Barista/tea brewer was working alone and working fast through the orders. But during a busier time, she might have trouble keeping up. Very nice, and not too chatty.
