WIS-CO Washington Island Coffee is a well-loved coffee house known for its excellent coffee and friendly staff. Located on Washington Island, it remains open during the off-season, making it a favorite spot for both residents and tourists. The café offers a cozy atmosphere, complete with a fireplace and skylight, and serves egg sandwiches as well as cold treats during the summer. It also features a candy shoppe in the back.
Recent reviews highlight that the coffee at WIS-CO is better than that of many well-known coffee chains, making it a must-visit for coffee lovers. Customers praise the wonderfully steamed milk with espresso, chai, and steamers, all served at the perfect temperature. The quality of the espresso is highly regarded, and the service is friendly, funny, and welcoming. The staff knows a lot about their food and their island. The café has indoor and some outdoor seating, and it is wheelchair accessible. There is a convenient bike rack out front by the outdoor dining. Visitors enjoy the creative coffee options, and even those who consider themselves coffee snobs find the quality to be exceptional. The pastries look delicious, and the oatmeal and sandwiches are popular choices. The gluten friendly foccacia sandwich and the Mediterranean Breakfast Sandwiches are delicious, and the iced matcha with fresh strawberry puree is highly praised.
Many customers also mention the friendly, small-town atmosphere where locals, police, EMS, business persons, and high school students all come for a cup of coffee before work or school. Recent visitors enjoyed the cherry hand pie, describing it as wonderful and tart, and praised the quiche and large breve as very good. The prices are reasonable, and the place is kept clean. While some were hesitant to order food due to concerns about food preparation hygiene, they found the drinks to be very yummy and worth the wait. The café also features a cute trivia board and offers a 10-cent discount, adding to its charm.
