The sandwiches hit the spot. I had an Americano which is tasted as it should, and my guest had the Cinnamon Amaretto Latte with oat milk, which tasted delicious. Such a great vibe, very progressive coffee shop. I'll definitely be back.

Date of visit: April 29, 2026…read more I struggled to find a decent website prior to visiting to have a good idea of what we were getting into, though I don't know that I would have been less disappointed had I been more informed. I was expecting a bit more than just breakfast sandwiches in terms of food, but that is all the counter staff told us about. Later I saw people with baked goods but those weren't mentioned or visible for us to peruse. Our breakfast sandwiches were pretty average, and the coffee was just okay as well. I tried the Carrot Cake Latte and it had a hint of that flavor, but I definitely wanted a little more. The vibe is very hipster, from the bicycle crowd to the vegan folks and would really only work in a neighborhood like Riverwest!

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 | CHOCOLATE CHIPOTLE CACAO BITTERS | AROMA OF WINTER RAS EL HANOUT | FLAMED ORANGE PEEL | OAT MILK served hot The second I tried cold and was called THE DUELIST An "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 iced What 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!

When I've stopped by on the weekends, there is always a vibrant chess gathering going on. It's very much a local gathering place. The food is the same as that available at the other Colectivo's around. I appreciate their breakfast sandwiches. Honestly, those are probably the only food I've had in these coffee shops. It's a unique coffee spot (despite being sort of corporate overall) in a unique neighborhood. I imagine that makes all the difference!

Definitely a well known coffee shop. Colectivo coffee is good, but not my favorite in Milwaukee…read more It's just really hard to beat this location. I didn't take any photos inside this time but their patio is quite amazing. If you go in the weekends before noon, be prepared to wait awhile. There's just no getting around that unfortunately. Being right off Lincoln Memorial Drive and the Oak Leaf Trail, it's an amazing spot whether you drive, bike, or walk from wherever you're coming from. Parking is limited in their lot, but there's an additional free public parking lot across the street with plenty of availability. For non-coffee drinkers, there's a lot of great menu options for alternatives, as well as some solid food options.

It's a treat on its own I'm reminded because it dosnt really pair to well with anything on the menu with my personal experience. Today I do try the lemon lavender cookie. The cookie seemed to be a sugar cookie but the frosting on the inside is where there was the blend of lemon and lavender. It was such a pretty color and honestly a perfect consistency, almost like a firmer buttercream. The staff was different, but maybe I just haven't come on a weekend in the longest time. I snagged a parking spot on a Sunday which seems like a score. Nice atmosphere, kid friendly. For me it's my favorite location, but when it's warm out and you can be outside that's when it'll have to be 6/5 stars :)

I came here, first time, on a whim since it's close to where I reside and I always walk by it…read more I was out and about earlier in the day and wanted to have a nice sit down meal for myself. I love sandwiches and knew I had to try the pastrami. It was fantastic. I've been trying to cut back on caffeine and I instead went with one of their refreshers on the menu. It was I believe and 'Blue and Grapefruit' - and that wasn't my favorite as someone who doesn't really care for grapefruit that much. I got it thinking it would be diluted a bit, SO, if you like grapefruit, I'm sure it's perfect for you. I also got a peanut butter oreo pie and wish I took a picture of it...but I devoured it too quick to even think about it. For me, that dessert was the definite highlight of the cafe. I'll definitely come back on more weekends when I have a craving for pastrami.

First time here. It was a cold morning, so I stopped in for a hot beverage and something to eat…read more Food: For not being a coffee shop, they have an extensive menu of hot and cold beverages. I ordered a London Fog Tea Latte, with a little lavender and a little vanilla, in a mug. The barista did a nice job and gave the tea a good long steep. It had excellent flavor, and the temperature was right (about 140°F). It would have been even better with a bit more foam on top. For bakery items, they had a big pile of large cookies (cowboy?), but not much else. The food menu is a little sparse but has some good options for breakfast or lunch sandwiches. I ordered a Cubano sandwich, which turned out to be an excellent choice. It came out hot, with nicely grilled bread and savory meats inside. The roasted pork was especially tender and flavorful. It came with a small container of slaw, which was a little uninspiring. Service: The person who took my order and made my drink did a nice job. She took her time and did a good job with the drink. I appreciated that they delivered both the drink and the food to the table. She was a bit soft-spoken and a little hard to hear with the music playing. Efficient, but not especially outgoing. Atmosphere: The space has a bit of an industrial minimalist feel. High ceilings with the mechanicals in plain sight, along with colorful paint and design elements. Seating can accommodate groups of different sizes, though there aren't too many spots ideal for couples. The space can be a bit echoey, and the volume of the music could make conversation challenging at times. It's a nice spot for groups to hang out, and there was a larger table where people were working and collaborating. A decent spot for hanging out at lunch or later in the afternoon.

Date of visit: December 14, 2025…read more Our monthly coffee date with our close friends took us this time to the Colectivo in Shorewood and it was good to be close from home given the frigid temperatures we were experiencing. I can't say that I've really spent any time at a Colectivo since the one at Bayshore closed, so this was a nice opportunity to reacquaint myself with their offerings and I came away impressed for the most part. For coffee, I went with the Peppermint Fluff Latte, and I must say it was an excellent choice on my part. They didn't skip on the mint and it really felt like a perfect drink for a cold day with Christmas just around the corner. Foodwise, I selected a cowgirl cookie (a bit too overcooked for my tastes, though the half of the salted choco cookie my husband ordered was quite good and I would recommend that one) and the Bacon Egg and Cheese Croissant. The croissant was a bit more squat than I was expecting, but it lent itself to the sandwich well and while a bit miserly on the cheese, it was overall a very good sandwich. I went five stars instead of four because the staff was really quite excellent. I fully expected the usual crew of hungover hipsters you see at most other coffee shops but instead I found a fun, friendly bunch that were happy to help.

They also have a ton of other drinks (I would love to try their ube drink, mango matcha, or hojicha next). I ordered the pool party smoothie and filipino breakfast sammy to go.
