Stone Creek Coffee: Downtown

Stone Creek has an extremely homey and cozy atmosphere across the board, for any location that you visit. However, it depends on the location on whether or not the cafe is a more of a working environment coffee shop or more social. I recommend the Wauwatosa location if you're wanting to get some studying in, but the Factory Cafe downtown

No matter what, you can never go wrong with Stone Creek!

Stone Creek Coffee is another Milwaukee staple! Each one of their drinks are perfectly crafted and no matter what drink you choose, the coffee will taste fantastic. If you go to the downtown location, the beans are freshly roasted in house, ensuring that your coffee will be as fresh as possible. Stone Creek Coffee is strong, and I recommend going for their dark roast or espresso roast, because their lighter roasts tend to be extremely bitter. Stone Creek is a great choice!

Discourse Coffee: Downtown

Discourse Coffee, both the Fifth Ward/Walker's Point location and the downtown location are incredibly unique. Discourse has a very "cool person" vibe to it, such a gem of a coffee shop in Milwaukee. Although the Radio Milwaukee/Fifth Ward location is bigger, I love the downtown location because it is almost underground, truly feeling like a coffee lab.

Discourse has some of the most unique coffee. If you love experimental drinks, Discourse is the place to be. They use such unique ingredients in their drinks, that it's so hard to decide what to get!

Discourse has some of the most unique coffee. If you love experimental drinks, Discourse is the place to be. They use such unique ingredients in their drinks, that it's so hard to decide what to get! On top of having such experimental and unique drinks, their coffee is fantastic. So, even if you don't want a latte with pepper and an orange peel, their regular drip coffee still tastes amazing. Not only that, but I even liked their matcha! That's a huge deal, especially since I have never liked matcha tea lattes.

Canary Coffee Bar: Downtown

Atmosphere

Atmosphere

Canary Coffee Bar is a cute little shop right next to the 3rd Street Market. It's a great place to hang out for a while, since they have more of a "bar style," instead of having an actual register. The several two-person tables and chairs are great to either hang out by yourself or with one other person!

If you love trying different kinds of coffee or are just interested in how coffee blends can be different for each other, I recommend going to Canary and trying out their hot, black coffee flight! You're able to try any three blends that you choose.

Colectivo: Downtown & Bay View

Atmosphere

Atmosphere

Atmosphere

The 12 Colectivo locations all vary in setup and "cuteness." Something that they all share is the more rustic modern vibe, often with colorful patio chairs outside. Colectivo is perfect for all occasions, whether it's doing homework or catching up with a friend! My personal favorite location is the Bay View Colectivo, where there are swinging tables and chairs outside, perfect for summer!

I absolutely love Colectivo coffee. You know that every time that you order from a Colectivo, that you will get your drinks crafted with care. Colectivo also serves their coffee at various other stores throughout Milwaukee, my personal favorite being Blum Coffee Garden in Greenfield. You're guaranteed to get a good cup of coffee at Colectivo, it's no wonder why they are a Milwaukee staple!
