    After 5 visits, I'm finally ready to review Discourse, the best new addition to the coffee scene in Chicago and one of the *best* pour over experiences I've had in Chicago. While discourse is NOT a roaster, they have an absolute mastery of espresso and pour over, their products each absolutely hit the spot. I have recommended Discourse to all of my coffee friends who have come to a similar conclusion. The quality control especially given how busy this place can be is insane. Different beans sourced from very well known farms, prepared in various ways (washed, anaerobic etc), I love the variety of flavors. The baristas are all knowledgeable and friendly, and the interior (or exterior, when the sun is out) is an immaculate space and very comfortable. It doesn't get loud so a great spot for an individual trip or to go with friends. I really wish you would all try to visit and support this place. I have come both alone and with friends, and the experience never diminishes. My one suggestion to Discourse is to make sure the water dispenser is full (it is often empty), and it would be nice to be able to purchase gift cards to encourage some friends to visit.

    Such a cool spot! Very big space, this would be a great place to work out of! The staff were very friendly and gave me a great recommendation! I love the vibe! It's like cocktails in coffee/tea form, very cool! I got the pappy. It's a latte with maple syrup, bourbon essence and black Lava salt. I loved this so much. Not too milky, great espresso flavor. The bourbon essence was a really nice touch! I'm excited to go back and try more! The ramen latte is very intriguing!

    Absolutely loved Discourse! Staff were extremely friendly and kind. Very large space with plenty of tables inside, and a nice patio area! All of the drinks are not only picture perfect, but off the charts flavor. Channel orange latte was incredible, would suggest it hot!

    The vibes were great. Good music and definitely a solid WFH spot, though it's a little dim inside and I didn't see water available. Service was AMAZING. The server asked if it was my first time, said I picked good drinks, and even brought the lattes to my table. She really went above and beyond. The ramen latte (4/10) was honestly too wild for me. I liked the crunch of the ramen on top, but the drink itself tasted super salty with heavy ramen seasoning. It's literally ramen + latte mixed together, which is creative but just not my thing. The Channel Orange latte (7/10) was much easier to drink. It tasted like an orange latte with a salty/spicy kick. Flavor was actually pretty good, but I personally still prefer a more classic nutty latte. Espresso flavor was pretty light too.

    holy shit this was SO GOOD. we got chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate peanut butter, and twice…read morechocolate chip. we got all of them freshly baked piping hot at 10:45pm 15 min before closing they also had a few options left if you don't want to wait for them fresh. the overall store was also super cute, lots of decor and history and merch! CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT SO GOOD BEST CHOC CHIP COOKIE???? crispy outside melt chocolate inside so yums dark chocolate peanut butter v rich, same crispy outside gooey inside. p good but kinda too sweet after a few bites twice chocolate chip has hella chocolate chips and also dark chocolate. tasted diff then the og walnut one i think too much chocolate takes away the cookie flavor idk... yummy but not as good as walnut I WOULD GO BACK JUST FOR THE CHOCOLATE CHIP WALNUT AGAIN OMG

    Kari's Rating 6.5/10…read more TLDR: -Cookies are thick as heck -Milk is available for purchase -A bit too many chocolate chips in their double chocolate chip for me Came in with a friend and wanted something sweet. So we tried the double chocolate chip and ice personally, I thought there were too many chocolate chips in the cookie for someone who doesn't necessarily like a chocolatey kind of doubt there were too many chocolate chips therefore the melted chocolate chips, then into the dough and it made it to chocolatey I couldn't finish the entire cookie. I did like the fact that it was fixed so we both had a soft cookie part as well as a crispy outside. I didn't actually finish the cookie, which is really upsetting how much you're paying for it, but I wasn't that hungry and I also didn't wanna waste the calories. I probably wouldn't be back by myself, but if someone wanted to go with me, I would probably split a cookie.
