“Such a lovely coffee place. We picked the cute corner for some good coffee and chit chat. The coffee’s we picked were really good. My friend loves matcha coffee and she said it was simply the best.
Would definitely go again if in the area. Next time would like to try more stuff from the cafe.“

“Spending time at Discourse and trying their menu items puts me in my happy place!!! I love everything on their menu. So unique and takes on an adventure that leaves me smiling and in awe of the flavors and creativity! Thank you for always making my day!!!!“

“Stone Creek Coffee in Milwaukee has been fantastic to work with. Emily was incredibly responsive and helpful when I reached out about ordering coffee in bulk for my gifting business. She made the process easy and ensured my order arrived right on time for a wedding planner’s client gifts. If you’re looking for high-quality, locally roasted Milwaukee coffee and a team that truly supports small businesses, I highly recommend them. ☕️👏 Thanks guys!“

“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 fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“Great tasting Coffee Flight variety! Delicious & Fresh oatmeal, croissants & muffins.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is really friendly and the space was very clean. The employees who took our order were very helpful since it was our first time we each tried different things and we loved every one! I would recommend the iced matcha, gingerbread latte and the dubai chocolate the most if i had to choose specifics.“

“Amazing spot for a chill laid back atmosphere with great music, coffee, and people!“

“Excelente servicio al cliente!! Un lugar donde se respira paz y armonía, tienen juegos de mesa para jugar con tu familia/amigos. Les aseguro que de entrar por la puerta se sienten las buenas vibras. 100% recomendado!!! No se vayan sin probar sus dulces, frescos y con un sabor riquísimo!!“

“Great tasting latte with vanilla and cinnamon. Super friendly person working behind the counter. There are so many coffee shops in Milwaukee.. i will definitely be back here based on this experience!“

“Best coffee ☕️ amazing staff.“

“I recently discovered Rochambo, and everytime I've visited, Brian makes me the most delicious drink. He is always so bubbly and cheerful!“

“Place is very nice. Iced lattes are delicious. Hours are very convenient 👍“

“shout out to mr walker..vliet location...for giving me water on those hot days delivering packages. thanks a bunch your fedex delivery lady“

“Excellent recent experience. We visited on a Thursday afternoon. That made our tour group very small, just two adults. Very welcoming greetings with the staff. The best part is the presentation of the tour. If you enjoy great presentations of history, neat tidbits you might not get from videos or books, this is definitely for you. Looking forward to return visits with friends and family. Highly recommend.“

“I think Stone Creek has amazing food and coffee. However their prices are quite frankly ridiculously high. It costs almost 22$ for a coffee and a waffle in my experience. The staff are extremely friendly and there’s a nice outside window for anyone with an animal. I just cannot justify giving 5 stars for what can be assumed as price gouging“

“Awesome drinks and customer service 100% recommended“

“Sat outside with a cool beverage. Breeze was blowing & read a book. It was great“

“Bob makes the absolute BEST coffee in the world. Sherman Perk is a Wisconsin landmark. It’s up there with Cousin’s Subs, Spotted Cow, crème puffs, cringles & beer brats. Protect them at all costs.“

“The only reason I didn’t give this place 5 starts, which I understand is out of the staffs control, is that it was quite busy and some of the tables are a bit cramped. On a weekday, I’m sure that this is a super nice coffee shop. The food was good, the staff was understanding despite being a first time customer, and even though it foot traffic was high, the food and drinks were ready in a timely manner.“

“Nice place for a read and nice cup of coffee“

“The young ladies are amazingly flexible and very kind. They can and will adjust any drink to any need, and they are always very friendly when I interact with them. If you ask kindly -and if there isn't a line of folks- they may just throw something custom together for you!“

“I have only visited the Sun Prairie location since October 2023. My go-to is the breakfast sandwich and my son, who is very particular about his French Toast, says it's his absolute favorite. I'm not a coffee drinker but their Chai is my favorite when I'm out and about. Don't forget to ask for the cheesy potatoes!“

“The service here is amazing. The people here, especially Rose, are nice and caring. I like that I can get a cold or hot beverage. The food is great, too. And it's just a great place to sit for awhile. Very welcoming place.“

“I treated myself from this super cute coffee shop called Bear & the Bean. The sandwich was definitely delish! 10 outta 10...I recommend!“

“best diner in town. consistent and quality 10/10“

“I went to Scooters for the first time and was honestly so surprised by how nice and kind the lady was. She gave me and my sister stickers, which I thought was so cute, and she was just really friendly overall. I’m definitely coming back to Scooters again because the employees seem so sweet. The drinks were really good and smooth. The only issue I had was that my drink wasn’t very cold when I got it, so I had to wait a bit since it was an iced coffee. But so worth it. Their drinks are nice and smooth.“

“I just have to say we received a wonderful surprise from Colectivo today. We don’t live close to any of the stores, so I usually order my coffee online. It’s free delivery if you order several bags and it comes quickly, too! Today I received a small box and inside was a surprise from Colectivo! A bag of coffee and a festive thank you card🎄Where do you actually get a gift from a business? What a touch of class from this fantastic company! Merry Christmas to all the wonderful people at Colectivo! I’ll be enjoying a cup in the morning ☕️❤️“

“20 year restaurant owner here. Canela = Great food. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable service. 15 min ticket time during a bfast rush. Reasonable prices. Too many great choices all around us. Gonna go again-often.“

“Great little coffee shop with good drinks and pastries.There's not much in terms of ambiance as it's in the lobby of a building, in front of a set of elevators, but it's good enough to grab a coffee and snack.There is minimal seating, so you can't go with a large group, but fine if you're solo or with a couple of others.“

“Great owners and wait staff very clean Had BLT with extra bacon and cup of fruit“

“the coffee is FANTASTIC!!! Friendly staff..I'll be back...“

“I came here for a tea while waiting for my daughter and didn’t know what to expect because it is in a church. I was pleasantly surprised that you can enter the cafe directly and they have Rishi teas. The barista was friendly and they have a variety of spaces available to work, relax or chat. This neighborhood is lacking in cafes, so I appreciate having this option.“

“Best bagel breakfast in the city.“

“Best service! That drive thru crew is AMAZING in the mornings! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Incredible people. Honest vets helping other honest vets. They give honest sense of direction for anyone needing a hand“

“Excellent service and friendly staff“

“Excellent Italian apricot pastry and espresso.“

“The gal helping me at the register was also gluten free so she knew some stuff to help me navigate the menu. They were super kind and friendly when I popped up exactly at 6:30 as they opened the doors so I could prepare for a long day of my friend’s wedding.“

“Super friendly staff. VERY quick order to food on the table time. Had the pork belly Benny and the carnitas con huevos and both were fresh and delicious. The hash browns (added onions) were some of the best I’ve ever had. Got an order of the French toast with Caramel and candied pecans and that was also very good. Heard they feed seniors for free on Wednesday so going to send my parents over there next week! Any place that treats seniors that was is worth patronizing. We’ll definitely be back!“

“First time here. Recommended to me by a friend. It is a nice location, just a short distance from the lake. They have patio seating outside, although it was a little too cold for that today, and a decent size seating area inside. There are different size tables for two, four, or larger groups. It is located on a corner, with lots of tall windows that let in plenty of sunshine.

When we arrived at 10am, there were a few other small groups and no wait to get our order in. I got a London Fog Tea Latte and a chocolate chip scone. No issues with getting my latte in a mug with a little lavender and vanilla. They were also able to warm up the scone.

After a little while, which is required for the right amount of steeping, the drink was ready. They did a great job. The texture was right and the flavor was good. It could have been a bit hotter, and I really need to remember to ask for that. My bad. The scone was also very good. It had the right scone texture, not like a muffin pretending to be a scone. A little dry and crumbly.

Over the next two hours the space filled up quite a bit more, but the noise level was never too loud to make conversation difficult. People were having quiet conversations and it stayed comfortable.

Would definitely come back again.“

“If you’re in downtown Milwaukee and want a reliable, friendly coffee stop with plenty of drink options and food to accompany, Biggby Red Arrow Park is a solid choice. Staff are energetic, attentive, and friendly.“

“I tried 2 tasty warm items today a feta and spinach pastry and a chicken croquette. I would say these are some of the tastiest things I have tried in a long time. Flaky pastry with a buttery taste and a croquette with the chicken that was so flavorful! What a lovely place. They also offered other warm items, pastries and a lovely seating area and free internet. I will come again. Perfect for coffee, small groups, families or to do work on the computer.“

“Delicious breakfast and outstanding coffee and smoothies. Great atmosphere inside and outside“

“Y'all I couldn't even get a picture quick enough!!! Me and hubby DEVOURED!!! OUR MEAL. we order the steak bagel with an hash brown and a patty melt with 2 desserts and strawberry mint green tea lemonade!
