Date of visit: December 14, 2025…read more Our monthly coffee date with our close friends took us this time to the Colectivo in Shorewood and it was good to be close from home given the frigid temperatures we were experiencing. I can't say that I've really spent any time at a Colectivo since the one at Bayshore closed, so this was a nice opportunity to reacquaint myself with their offerings and I came away impressed for the most part. For coffee, I went with the Peppermint Fluff Latte, and I must say it was an excellent choice on my part. They didn't skip on the mint and it really felt like a perfect drink for a cold day with Christmas just around the corner. Foodwise, I selected a cowgirl cookie (a bit too overcooked for my tastes, though the half of the salted choco cookie my husband ordered was quite good and I would recommend that one) and the Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant. The croissant was a bit more squat than I was expecting, but it lent itself to the sandwich well and while a bit miserly on the cheese, it was overall a very good sandwich. I went five stars instead of four because the staff was really quite excellent. I fully expected the usual crew of hungover hipsters you see at most other coffee shops but instead I found a fun, friendly bunch that were happy to help.

I was very excited to try this place, as it saw a lot of good things about it on social media. The…read morespace is very cozy and inviting. Many beautiful plants are scattered around the cafe. There are a lot of open space and different table sizes for big or small groups. I loved how the sunlight poured into the cafe. My friend and I were looking forward to trying their sandwiches but were disappointed to find out that they ran out of bread. We ended up getting their rosemary scones, which was pretty good. It wasn't too crumbly and reminded me of red lobsters biscuits. We also got the matcha flight and the rebirth matcha. The matcha flight was $16 and honestly not worth it. It came with the rebirth matcha, strawberry rose, and mango matcha. The only one that tasted good was the rebirth matcha. The floral keys blended very nicely with the matcha. The services wasn't the best. It felt like I was inconveniencing the staff when I was ordering, asking questions, or sitting and chatting with my friend. A very unwelcoming vibe, like they wanted us to order and leave. I really do love the ambiance here and heard so many great things about their sandwiches that I'm willing to comeback but I'm not exactly in a rush to come back.

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 saw this place and knew I had to visit just because of the visuals. It's even better in person…read more It seems like it's a place that is continuously added to with the smallest detail that can bring the biggest smile. I don't think that there is a wall that dosnt have some positive affirmation of sorts. It has a very authentic feel, and a maximalism approach. The air condition works just fine on a summer day but I did opt for the outdoor seating. The messages on the window are what the community needs to hear, "You are Loved" and "slow the frick down". This place really seems all inclusive. I was impressed that there IS a baby changing table in the bathroom. We tried the iced mocha, lemonade, and peach parfait that was left, because a lot was sold out. The iced mocha didn't stand out to me, but maybe that because I do like my coffee on the sweater side. The lemonade was wonderful, tasted "home made" without any pulp. We did add some of the simple syrup that was available on the table to sweeten it up just a bit. The peach parfait was great, there were pumpkin seeds in the granola which has inspired me to try and make my own. Their stickers are humorous!

Date of visit: April 29, 2026…read more I struggled to find a decent website prior to visiting to have a good idea of what we were getting into, though I don't know that I would have been less disappointed had I been more informed. I was expecting a bit more than just breakfast sandwiches in terms of food, but that is all the counter staff told us about. Later I saw people with baked goods but those weren't mentioned or visible for us to peruse. Our breakfast sandwiches were pretty average, and the coffee was just okay as well. I tried the Carrot Cake Latte and it had a hint of that flavor, but I definitely wanted a little more. The vibe is very hipster, from the bicycle crowd to the vegan folks and would really only work in a neighborhood like Riverwest!

I had lunch here with my mom and a friend around 1 PM on a Sunday. The service was wonderful and…read morethe food was good! My only complaint is that the floors are often dirty and the tables aren't wiped down... but the employees are SO kind and friendly and if I ask them to wipe down a table, they will do it right away without question. As for the menu: I love their chili, fresh veggie stack on a wrap, and Greek chicken on a wrap. Their baked goods are always fresh and delicious! I love the oatmeal cookie, Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll.

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!

Date of visit: April 26, 2026…read more Another place that has seemingly been around forever, but I didn't get a chance to visit until my days in Milwaukee were numbered! We came on a Sunday before they officially started serving breakfast and just had pastries available, but we were getting together with some friends for our monthly coffee date and didn't need a whole meal necessarily. The selection was a bit more limited than I would have expected from a boulangerie, but the cinnamon roll was very good (probably would have been better if it had been warmed up but that was not offered). And the cookies that we brought home (chocolate chip and gingersnap) were also very good. I also tried a bite of my husband's quiche and it was very good--definitely made in-house! The almond croissant had a generous amount of almond paste in it, and was quite sizable, too.

There's always something good looking in the bakery case--croissants, macarons, chocolate bombe. There's often a special for brunch or lunch too--I had a steamed mussels once that was pretty memorable. On my most recent visit I had the toasted cheese with a cup of tomate soup. The sandwiches come with a salad or potatoes. I had the salad and it was a nice array of fresh vegetables with a vinaigrette. The cheese was maybe not as all the way melted as I expected but it was still a nice treat. I couldn't resist getting the lemon cake for dessert. They had a strawberry shortcake that day too. Service was attentive and they kept my coffee cup filled. I should come here more often for weekend brunch.
