An amazing little local coffee house on the island. Amazing coffee, great staff and service, and open during the off season. They also have a little candy shoppe in the back, and cold treats during the summer.

Had a winter visit gave them 4 stars for just being open during the winter months. I am sure it's a much more exciting place in the tourists months. My wife and I had egg sandwiches and a coffee. Food and coffee was good. Thank you for being open during the winter.

Wisco is favorite cafe in America, and I've been going to cafes since 1980, in Berkeley, at the same time the founders of Starbuck's worked at Peet's.Yet the coffee at Wisco is better than anything l remember from my days at Cal, and I went to all of them, except Peet's. And I've been to cafes all over America, and also Paris, ever since 1980.(Regarding Peet's in 1981 . . . Why, I thought, would anyone go into that place. Turns out they had good coffee. The guys who worked there and left for Seattle later, and imitated the Peet's coffee, succeeded with Starbucks, because they simply designed a nice atmosphere for their first cafe, one in Seattle, similar to all the other Berkeley cafes.)I am fine with Starbucks and Peet's, it is good, but if you want something far better, go to Wisco. Wisco is beyond good.And it is lit by a skylight. And it has a fireplace.If you go to that pretty island, don't miss out. And no, I don't work for Wisco. I met the owner of Wisco for the first time yesterday.Wheelchair accessibility: I have a crippled heel and walk with one hiking pole. I really appreciated getting in and out with no stairs. I walked there from the hotel. It's a nice island for long walks, miles and miles.

Wish I had something better to stay but the latte I ordered just didn't have the coffee that would make any drink taste good. Wish they had better coffee beans! For next time! But they had good service

Couldn't find a decent cup of coffee or a place to have breakfast on the island. Saw somebody standing out with a big old copy in front of this wisco guessed it was a coffee place. Been open a year or so I guess. Cute! Inside mix of candy, coffee and wrapped aluminum foil pre-made sandwiches. I took a pass. I didn't think the gas station presentation of pre-made sandwiches is my cup of tea. It's not hard to buy a panini machine and just toast an egg sandwich up but that's for another day. The coffee was so so I can't tell if it's the terrible water on island the limestone aquifers it comes from or the grind of coffee that these places have? My cinnamon roll was covered with a cream cheese topping kind of different. When I asked if it could be warmed up. I see why they politely refuse to do so, but maybe they should try a classic take on a cinnamon roll with a sugar frosting but I'm not running the place!

Wow!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful even when we came in shortly before closing. The drinks were great and the almond pastry was amazing!! I will dream of more. They also kindly offered to send me a penny once the press is fixed if I mail them my info/ change. Thanks so much!

Ordered two breakfast egg and cheese sandwiches with bacon. We were hiking at Rock island so I planned on eating the 2nd there for lunch. But NO need I was extremely satisfied with my first one. Did the whole island hike 5 miles with not an inkling or hunger. Ended up eating the sandwich a few days later. Warmed in my micro and the bread is still soft and pillowy! GF bread is notoriously dry and this exceeded my expectations. Even non dietary restricted persons would HIGHLY enjoy this offering. Bravo. Hope the recipe lives forever. I NEED this in my life. I'm in awe!Dietary restrictions: Best gluten free sandwich bread EVER

Quick service with really good chai and good gelato. Will make sure we go back!
The honey latte was great! I love that they have gluten friendly options for pastries.

We love Wisco so much! Their drinks are so unique and yummy and the grab and go food is delicious! Absolutely the best quiche I've ever had. Definitely recommend when you visit the Island!

Their rubens are so good bro, like straight up a 10/10 yummy sandwhich, very worth getting :)

Pastries were pretty good, but the coffee I ordered which was a tiramisu latte wasn't drinkable as the milk added to my beverage went sour aka wasn't fresh.

Still a work in progress, but has potential. Upon entry, you are greeted with the sensational smell of fresh ground quality coffee.
