Probably one of if not the best place in Wisconsin to get coffee, I'm always impressed by there drinks and I love to try new ones and snacks every time I'm in the area and there a easy walk from the convention center if you're there for a convention or just staying at a hotel connected to it. There definitely worth the stop!!!

Great spot, great staff, and great drinks. I tried both the Flora and the Moon Water, and both were 10/10. The flavors were balanced perfectly with the espresso and milk. Nothing overly sweet, overly milky or artificial tasting. If you love a well made latte, this is the place for you.

Excellent coffee, great service- fast and friendly, great atmosphere for relaxing or reading/studying. Prices are good and quality of coffee is excellent. I got a dark chocolate, sea salt iced latte. My boyfriend got a dulce de leche iced latte- both were very good, not too sweet. Highly recommend d coffee here!

Was looking for the best shot of espresso in town while visiting. Discourse did not disappoint. Some things I liked: - The “moonwater” latte was SAVORY! Never have I had a latte with such a flavor profile. Must-try. - The baristas were obviously chatting and having a conversation, and were very good at switching their attention at the exact moment when we had decided our order and needed it. It felt like home—there was no pressure, no immediate tension to order, but I had the attention when I was ready. I love coffee shops where the baristas don’t have “ALL EYES ON THE CUSTOMER” mentality. They felt human :3 - Great coffee snob spot. Immediately recognized two of the producers of the coffee they had on offer, Wilton Benitez and Diego Bermudez. If you know those names, you know they’re world-class, and a delight to see - The atmosphere was ridiculously pleasant. Comfortable seating. Nice moody lighting. The mugs, glasses, and silverware were delightful to hold and drink from. The space is well-arranged and it’s an awesome place to linger. The air sets the heart at ease. It was just a one-off visit, so I’m sure they have their imperfections. But for them to get so much right so fast, I was delighted. I even heard them giving another group food recommendations, so they seem like really friendly people who know the area. It is worth going out of your way to stop here.

Best coffee of my life! I had the motorhead. Well worth the drive. Words can't describe the pure bliss of the experience. I will be back as often as possible!
