Coffee
Posts here are devoted to the simple joy of coffee—whether it’s a nitro oat latte in Fargo or a tasting flight during a road trip. I share notes on cafés visited, beans tried and the small moments that make each cup memorable.
- Jamie has morning coffee at Discourse Coffee.
- Brunch at Blue’s Egg.
- Milwaukee Zoo. Rainy and pretty quiet.
- Big Putt’s Mini Golf — very well done course with a lot of fun holes. Jamie got four “hole in ones”.
- Attempted to see Call Me Dancer at the Oriental Theatre but the theater was closed. 😫
- Milwaukee Public Market for choose your own dinner: Freese’s Candy Shoppe, Foltz Family Market, C. Adam’s Bakery, and West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe. Olive Oil for home from Oro Di Oliva.
- Battle House Laser Combat. Tyler and Jamie were on Blue Team with more players and won most of the games.
Milwaukee Spring Break: Day 3

All of us were very sad that the Oriental Theatre water and heat were out of order.
The barista “workbench” at Discourse Coffee has an incredibly broad array of mixologist components. 🧑🔬☕️

Enjoying one of the most unique drinks I’ve ever had — Motörhead Latte (espresso, milk, pork fat + apple caramel, root beer bitters, apple powder, smoked salt) at Discourse Coffee. Rich and deep flavors. ☕️

Great way to start your birthday? A macchiato from Backstory Coffee that tastes as good as it looks. ☕️
First time stopping at Smith Coffee & Cafe and was very impressed with their coffee program and the pastries were great.
Stop at Art Café to rest, get shade, and have a cappuccino in Murano.
The #TeamSPS Coffee Guild met today and Rob Rutscher brought in his Decent Espresso machine along with the Niche Zero grinder and served up delicious coffee for folks today. Brought a lot of joy. ☕️

Have been enjoying delicious coffee at 2 Birds Coffee + Cafe. The food is top notch too!


Early Sunday morning. Fresh cup of delicious coffee. Fire started in fireplace. Everyone else still sleeping. Gratitude.
