Featured Items

Parisian
Matcha | Milk | Fruit Tea Syrup | Zested Lime | Blackberry Your new favorite way to drink matcha. Harney & Sons Paris, passion fruit, mango, and blueberry teas are blended in-house and transformed into an audaciously fruity, lush four-tea simple syrup that plays as a perfect compliment to vibrant matcha from our friends at Rishi Tea. This lil' wonder is finished with fresh lime zest and a blackberry, a nod to the classic cocktail of the same name. For days where you need that extra punch of power, try Parisian iced with a shot of espresso (our favorite!).$7.25+
Flora
Espresso | Milk | Lavender Lemon Syrup | Wildflower Honey | Rose Water | Candied Lemon Powder | Fleur de Sel Washington Island, a picturesque getaway just a few miles north of the Door Peninsula by ferry, is widely acclaimed for producing some of the best French lavender in the world. Every July, the peak of lavender season draws hordes of visitors to the Fragrant Isle to walk through vibrant fields of purple and lose themselves to the rapturous aroma. Flora celebrates these endless, numbered days: an ethereal marriage of fresh lavender, rosewater, and lemon dancing amidst espresso and wildflower honey.$7.25+

Moonwater
Espresso | Milk | Wildflower Honey | Ceylon Cinnamon | Tellicherry Black Pepper | Applewood Smoked Sea Salt Moonwater is our first creation, developed in Ryan's home kitchen before we even opened the doors at our original Sister Bay workshop. It's the only drink that's never left our menu for good reason: exotic yet intimately familiar, Moonwater is the perfect introduction to what we do at Discourse.$7.25+
Channel Orange
Espresso | Milk | Smoked & Oaked Vanilla | Orange Oleo Saccharum | Bittercube Blackstrap Bitters | Candied Orange Powder | Black Lava Salt Channel Orange, a hallmark of our menu, was brought to life as part of a waste reduction initiative at the workshop. I had been looking for a way to repurpose the spent, candied peels that are left after making our Orange Oleo Saccharum. Dehydrating the candied peels for a garnish contributed little to the final drink. Curious, I pulverized them in my blender and strained them to create a fine powder. The candied orange powder was both intensely fragrant and softly sweet, a perfect foil to the smoked and oaked vanilla lying beneath.$7.25+OUT OF STOCK
Motorhead
Espresso | Oat Milk | Pork Fat & Apple Caramel | Bittercube Root Beer Bitters | Granny Smith Apple Powder | Applewood Smoked Sea Salt Apologies in advance to our vegan friends, but when life gives you pork fat and apple cores, you make caramel. While that’s not how the saying goes, the pork fat lends an unctuous umami flavor to this sumptuous caramel, perfectly offset by bright, juicy apple, courtesy of homemade apple powder, which will provide the cores for your caramel. Delicious hot or iced, Motorhead is metalhead magic in a mug.$7.25+

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.$7.25+

Lana Del Fog
Rishi Earl Grey | Oat Milk | Lyre's Amaretti | Vanilla Syrup | Flamed Orange All of the names we tried to come up with for this absolute banger were super long, so we thought we'd pay homage to a house favorite who also struggles with long titles, Lana Del Rey. We had an in house London Fog riff competition, and this lil' number from our very own Destiny Devooght came out on top! A traditional London Fog base of Earl Grey, oat milk, and vanilla, meet non-alcoholic amaretto and flamed orange oil for a fog that feels both familiar and ethereal (kind of like the real stuff).$7.25+
Burnt Lemonade
*DISCLAIMER: Activated Charcoal can potentially neutralize the effectiveness of medicines and birth control. Please check in with your health care professional before excessive consumption.* Slow Drip Coffee infused with Charred Lemon Zest, Orange Zest, and Cocktail Cherries | Lemonade | Tarragon | Thyme | Activated Charcoal The ultimate refresher! Burnt Lemonade was so dang popular on our Summer menu that we've made the decision to keep it on draft year round. Perfectly balanced with an incredibly complex, cherry centric herbal sweetness balancing tart, juicy lemon for a slammer of a drink that beckons sip after sip. This one goes easy on the caffeine, so feel free to have a few, we won't judge.$7.25+Summer Flame

Cold Brew
You know it, you love it, it's cold brew! Well, sort of. We use our Ground Control Brewer to brew a series of 100F extractions of Lawlss' Colombia Narino, and then blend them, for a rich, vibrant, and delicious cold brew that stands out from the pack.$5.00+
Sous Vide Coffee
A Discourse Coffee Workshop original, our Sous Vide coffee is one of a kind. Brewed at 145F for 16 hours, the Sous Vide brew method offers an ideal hybrid between hot and cold extraction, providing the body of a cold brew with the clarity and acidity of a pour over.

Classics

Americano
Espresso + Water = Americano In Europe, where espresso reigns king, American drip coffee is almost non-existent. To satisfy thirsty swarms of American visitors, European baristas began diluting espresso to the strength of American drip coffee, and thus the Americano was born. Perfect hot or iced, the Americano is a staple of coffee tradition, allowing the espresso to truly come into it's own.$4.00+
Macchiato
A single extraction of espresso marked with rich milk foam. We serve the traditional, Italian macchiato. Starbucks famously flipped this drink-as-old-as-time on it's head when it re-invented the macchiato as milk, marked with espresso.$4.00
Cortado
1 part Espresso + 1 part Steamed Milk = Cortado Of Spanish origin, and translating to "cut", the Cortado is the barista's choice. Like a few drops of water in a dram of whiskey, a cortado is many baristas' favorite way to get to the heart of an espresso.$4.00
Cappuccino
1 part Espresso + 1 part Steamed Milk + 1 part Milk Microfoam = Cappuccino The connoisseurs choice. The rich, brown shade of the OG cappuccinos appeared to match the color of the hoods worn by Capuchin monks, members of a Franciscan order dating back to the 16th century in Italy. #themoreyouknow$4.50Flat White

Latte
A single extraction of espresso with expertly steamed milk, and a thin layer of microfoam on top. Latte comes from the Italian term, caffè e latte, which directly translates to coffee and milk.$5.25+

Chocolate Chunk Cookie
An absolute Discourse classic! Our Chocolate Chunk Cookie was painstakingly perfect by our former Pastry Chef Frankie Hartmann, who worked on the recipe for nearly a year before being happy with the results.
