An incredibly unique coffee experience unlike any other I've had in Milwaukee and beyond! I was a little intimidated by the menu, but the barista asked me some of my flavor preferences, and recommended a beverage for me. Highly recommend this approach! Motorhead was smooth, dynamic and balanced. Not overly sweet which so many craft espresso beverages can be. Each beverage is created and crafted carefully, and the attention to detail was outstanding, I enjoyed watching them make every beverage! Definitely a bit of a spurgle in terms of pricing, but these can't be compared to a standard latte, cappuccino, etc! Can't wait to try other items on their menu! A great addition to Crossroads Collective.
I went to the one at the art museum but couldn't find that location here on Yelp. It was amazing! I got the typewriter drink and they made it to go and it was so delicious. It had so many different flavors and the black salt on top was so interesting and it really made the drink. Have so many different options to try from. I want to go back and try a new drink now! Definitely a great location within the museum but I want to see what their other locations are like now. It's a must see!
I'm far from a coffee connoisseur, but Discourse... they are! For such a small vendor space, they have a lot of big ideas that are full of flavor and innovation. I don't think I've ever tried something quite like the "Crenn" it's a bite-sized cocoa butter ball with apple cider inside and dulce de leche drizzled on the outside with a candied pecan on the top. As they told me, take it in one bite and keep your mouth closed while you chew... or expect a mess. Haha. I wonder how many times they witnessed the "mess" before they had to give people the heads up! Then the coffee... it was essentially like drinking chocolate with a caffeine boost. They have an orange skin sitting on top for the aroma as you sip. They really put a lot of thought into this experience (and other drinks - I saw one inspired by Giannis that was green (matcha), I need to go back to try "The Greek Freak". ...I need to go back and try several things, actually!
This is the best thing ever to come to Milwaukee. I tried 2 drinks and the Cren (I was intimidated by this at first, but it was excellent) and all of it was phenomenal. The presentation of each handcrafted drink blew me away and I wanted to order every single drink off the menu just to see how it would come out and taste it. You read the descriptions of the drinks and you scratch your head thinking how do these flavors come together, but they do! They must also use the finest ingredients because I didn't get the normal icky feeling I get after drinking a sweet coffee drink. I highly suggest stopping here for a unique coffee experience. I love that their menu gets updated seasonally, which means I will have to make sure to come back frequently. The baristas were all very friendly and informative and made me feel welcomed.
Hidden gem located inside Crossroads Collective! They specialize in a variety of elevated, specialty craft coffee and matcha drinks. Highly recommend visiting if you're sick of your plain, old latte. What we got: - Parisian: This was a delicious matcha with notes of blueberry and mango and a soft floral aftertaste! We loved the fruity twist that was given to this matcha latte; surprisingly, the fruitiness balanced out the earthiness of the matcha and wasn't overwhelming. - Pirate Lyfe: Such a rich and sophisticated espresso drink. The hints of rum bitters and allspice added a layer of complexity, and was mellowed out by the banana caramel notes. No liquor was used in this drink. Both drinks were well balanced and such a delight for our taste buds. Love the creativity and experimentation that went into the making of these drinks! Gonna have to definitely be back to try more from their speciality drinks menu.
I'm pretty excited to have another delicious coffee shop in the neighborhood. Discourse has impressive pour over offerings and their specialty drinks are truly unique! I sampled two drinks and both were so tasty! I look forward to grabbing coffee here regularly. They're in the perfect spot to grab food, snacks and stroll around some of the best spots in Milwaukee. Check them out, you will not regret it.
This was by far the most creatively thought out latte/coffee experience I've ever had. The staff was so friendly and explained the speciality drinks to us which we appreciated. We tried the moonwater and motörhead. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND trying the motörhead! I can't even explain the taste but the flavor had my taste buds going bananas lol 10/10 spot!
Visited this cafe a few weeks ago when I was in Milwaukee. First time trying it and can't wait to visit again! it was perfect, definitely need on in the Chicago Area. I tried the Iced Chaant, which was delicious. Worth every penny
Discourse was a very unique coffee shop. The baristas were super friendly and helpful. I tried the matcha which was sweet and not bitter at all. Personally I like my matcha a little bitter but this was still great and for those who don't love the bitterness of matcha would love this drink. My boyfriend got the coffee with chai and it was delicious! I don't like chai but I actually really enjoyed that drink. The baristas took their time to make these complex drinks and put a lot of detail into making their drinks. The signature drinks range from $6-$7. It is a little pricey but a cool experience!
Ahhhh! Discourse is such an amazing concept, not your REGULAR coffee bar. The staff are very skilled mixologist creating and crafting amazing drinks. If you are in Milwaukee give them a go! A coffee experience like no other. Try the Motörhead and moonwater lattes...thank me latter.
Such a gem among the Milwaukee coffee shops! Tried out their summer flame craft drink of their new summer menu, absolutely gorgeous!
Best experience ever! Loved the coffee and the staff, who was incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations around the area. Both drinks were outstanding.
Stopped in for an early morning coffee and was delighted with the service and taste of my vanilla latte! My friend ordered the Pirate Life. It was a tastefully crafted specialty coffee if you like banana and rum flavor I would recommend trying it!

Great spot near MSOE campus. Matcha was one of their house flavors, don't remember the exact name but 10/10. A unique twist on matcha. Staff was super friendly! Great spot to study. read more
Wow, this place is awesome! I LOVE the elevated experience Discourse is brewing. Their evolving menus guide our palettes through each carefully crafted cup. 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! read more
If you are looking for specialty coffee drinks / creative coffee drinks / coffee cocktails in Milwaukee, this is the place. Their menu is fun. I haven't had their SOUS VIDE (brewed coffee using extended, midtemp extraction) or traditional espresso based drinks so far, as I have been more interested in exploring their crafted drinks. The crafted drinks are more expensive than normal coffee drinks. I like most of them, as some of them taste too sweet / milky & creamy to me (and if you are a pour-over / cold brew type of coffee drinker, these may not be the right ones for you). What I really like about this place is the diversity and open, experimental mindset in coffee they've brought and shown to the city. read more

Wow wow wow. This is hands down the most unique, flavorful, delicious coffee I have ever had in my life. I think about coffee a lot (a lot...) and this blew my mind. It really isn't the place to have coffee by itself, they create amazing concoctions. I was floored, the amount of work that goes into each drink is really impressive. Do not let the price deter you, it is well worth the money. I will return until I have tried absolutely everything single coffee they offer. read more

I'm not a huge coffee guy, but wow! I tried the moonwater latte and it was fantastic. Super great vibe inside there as well. Not sure of the employee's name who helped me but he was new and he was super nice and helpful. Would for sure recommend this place to anyone. read more
