Discourse

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 | CHOCOLATECHIPOTLE CACAO BITTERS | AROMA OF WINTERRAS EL HANOUT | FLAMED ORANGE PEEL | OAT MILK served hotThe second I tried cold and was called THE DUELISTAn "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 icedWhat 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!

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 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!

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!

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.

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.

I saw a recent TV spot on the specialty craft coffee drinks at Discourse and decided to check them out while dining at Crossroads Collective! I chose a drink made with corn and wow- it was so tasty and nicely made! The whole menu looks great, and it's easy to find in Crossroads Collective. Lots more on the menu to try and I'll be back!

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.

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
