Came in after some hype that I seen on social media, and this coffee spot did not disappoint Started with a Bunny's bite chocolate lavender cookie which was so freaking good. Usually I'll complain after I realize it's organic and gluten free, but this cookie i would order over and over. I ordered the Motorhead which was constructed so beautifully and the touch of sea salt just takes it to the next level, the wife ordered the Orange Chanel which the freshness of the orange oils just elevates the overall experience. That salt you can put on a shoe and make it taste good. I will Def be back

I ordered the Pappy: “Espresso | Milk | Maple Syrup | Bourbon Essence | Black Lava Salt: Wisconsin maple syrup meets a pinch of black lava salt all the way from Hawaii and our house made, wildly aromatic bourbon essence. Pappy is, simply put, a latte that hugs your soul.” It was just as written, and even amazing decaf! I love how they make their coffee drinks like coffee cocktails. When I first saw the menu I didn’t realize all the ingredients were for the one drink! It was amazing. Love the vibes. I love that it’s in the Radio Milwaukee building 🎶 🧡

If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension. This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry. It’s alchemy. It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry. The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident. That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fle

I happened to find this coffee shop while exploring Milwaukee during my first trip to the state. Upon entering I loved the ambiance of the space. Everything on the menu sounded so tempting it made making a selection hard. Thankfully some natives did give their suggestions as I waited in line. I ended up getting a latte and tried their banana bread. Not only was the banana bread delicious but the welcoming barista Noelie ended up making me the best latte I had ever had! I will definitely return to Discourse on any return visits just for a sweet repeat. The excellent latte and delicious banana bread made for a lasting impression!
