Discourse: Coffee Workshop opened their second location at Cafe Calatrava (700 N Art Museum Dr.) within the Milwaukee Art Museum as part of a five-month residency program through Sept. 4.
Discourse was established in 2017 in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, and recently moved to Milwaukee, opening a stall at the Crossroads Collective food hall this past February.
It’s time to pick your Milwaukee favorites for the year!
“We’re incredibly honored to be working with such a legendary establishment in the community,” Ryan Castelaz, founder and creative director, says. “The Discourse team and I pride ourselves on the craftsmanship behind our drinks, and we’re beyond excited to open up shop alongside an organization that shares our dedication to creativity.”
The menu will offer a wide array of coffee and tea options, from imaginative takes on coffee shop staples such as caramel and
vanilla lattes, to completely novel, culinary-inspired experiences like “Crenn,” an exploding sphere filled with an assortment of coffees, teas and juices.
The food and beverage team at the Milwaukee Art Museum, led by Executive Chef Jamie Nelson, will also provide a full cafe menu of delicious food options, as well as wine, beer and soft drinks.
“The Milwaukee Art Museum is excited to welcome Discourse: Coffee Workshop into the Museum Café to bring coffee to life in new ways for our visitors,” Robert Stein, Milwaukee Art Museum deputy director and chief experience officer, says.
In the coming months, the Discourse team will add drink offerings inspired by artworks displayed in the museum’s galleries.
“To be able to tell the stories of the incredible works of art at the Milwaukee Art Museum through drink is the ultimate realization of Discourse’s vision for coffee,” Castelaz says.
