Six of us came here on a recent Saturday morning. We were lucky to grab one side of a long table…read more The place was busy with a friendly vibe. The coffees we had (and one mocha) were delicious and delightful. We sat down and they called out our names (after a little bit of a wait). But the wait was worth it. Also, it was a little hard to hear them call our name - we were talking, folks on the other end of the table were talking, as well as others - and thankfully someone in our group was paying attention and did hear it. There are games on some shelves and we picked up Cribbage and played while we sipped our drinks. And let me tell you - the drinks were yummy. We ordered the following: "What Winter Brought," "Peppermint Mocha," "Channel Orange", and two "Moon Waters." Because we all wanted to sample each other's drinks we each got a sip of the others to taste, and there wasn't one I didn't like. The photos of the drinks are below - except for Channel Orange which was in a unique cup, unfortunately I can't remember which one is which! But don't they all look appetizing with the lovely swirls and desings? I don't know what the vibe is like on a working day (one of the members in our group does come here to work on weekdays). If you were wanting a quiet place to work on a Saturday morning, this might not be the right spot for you on a Saturday. This is a great spot to meet a friend or hang out with some friends. If you want some delicious craft drinks anytime, I highly recommend stopping here and glad it's here in Milwaukee. I'll be back!

Entrance is hard to find, but ask anyone and they will point you in the right direction. We got a few drinks: espresso was great, maple bourbon latte was strong and sweet, Columbia pour over honestly tasted artificial with the strength of the blueberry taste. Overall, a bit overpriced, but very good experience!

I'm actually adding a star for their coffee, but they need to get to get their wifi fixed…read more Honestly, they might have the single best cup of coffee in Milwaukee. Their Moon Water is simply delicious and their Motorhead (pork fat, really?) is almost as good. I want to try different drinks but between those two I can't branch out. I look forward to Moon Water too much! Their staff are always super friendly and they have some very comfy couches and interesting seating options. Located right next to the Grohmann Museum, which is absolutely worth a look if you haven't been. Now about that wifi. I've been here 4 times now and that wifi has been spotty at best every single time. This morning it quite simply did not work. I had to use my own hot spot. I recently started working from home and I like switching it up between coffee shops and the library. Obviously the coffee is priority but I'm also there to work, and I'd like having reliable wifi to do my work. I'd like to come here more often but that internet connection is a problem.

I got a seasonal special matcha latte (their sakura matcha latte) which tasted amazing but a bit pricey as it was $10. The wifi in the cafe was also not working which dimmed my overall experience. Overall, it is a nice place to get experimental drinks and coffees albeit a bit pricey.

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!

We could not get a refund, to "make-up" for what he did not do, the kid gave us a cup of ice with one shot of espresso in it, and AN OLD MATCHA from someone else's order they didn't pick up heated up.

THEY WERE RIGHT! I was ready to get a latte when I spied the Black Magic Espresso Tonic on the Fall Offering Menu! This is hands down the BEST ESPRESSO TONIC I've ever enjoyed! It was made with espresso, tonic with concord grape juice, lemon, spiced honey and was artfully capped with a star of anise! LOVE IT!

I have not yet tried their food options so can't speak on those just yet. I will say when I stopped in on a Monday afternoon, I had to wait quite a bit to place my order (I was only one in line) and staff was not the friendliest, but I will always give places another chance. My mint tea latte overall was really good! Will be back to try some additional menu items.
