May Wisco Coffee Roaster of the Month
(Wisconsin Dells)

For the coffee subscription this month, we chose a partner that we've worked with for years now. Bella Goose has a large footprint in Wisconsin Dells with three cafes, a roastery, syrup production and a production bakery. From their coffee and clean-ingredient syrup line, to quality food and great hospitality, they give their best.

Bella Goose also has locations in Thailand serving to employ people who have experienced exploitation or were at-risk.

So whether it's you're touring and need a coffee break from the Water Park Capital of the World or you're a person needing help toward a new beginning, Bella Goose isn't just a coffee company; it's a company for the people.
Have you been to Bella Goose?

📍The Coffee Grounds (Eau Claire, WI)

Heading to the Superior, WI area (Pattison State Park) we stopped at Lake Wissota State Park as a layover campsite. Beautiful campground and state park! In the morning we stopped at The Coffee Grounds, a partner on the coffee shop passport, for the first time.

Interesting place. Very clean and seemingly has everything. They sell kitchen accessories and nearly every legal vice you can imagine. My son noted that it smelled like caramel before we discovered they make their own sweets. We ordered two lattes, a chocolate milk, and a Point Brewery "Kiddy Cocktail" to go.

WI Coffee Roaster of The Month, April: (Platteville)☕️

Operators Hannah and Austin McCourt have been roasting since 2020. Originally started in 2003, Badger Bros has roasted and served top-notch coffee for the greater Platteville community. As "the front porch of their community," The McCourt Family believes in collaboration, service, and involvement.

The featured roast, delivered to our Wisco Roasted Subscribers, is their Hometown Blend and it's well rounded and delicious.

This is the 6th roaster we've featured since launching the Wisco Roasted Coffee Subscription this past fall. We've also featured: Terra Verde Coffee (Chilton), ACOCA Coffee (Appleton), Mission Coffee (Plover) Jewelltown Roastery, Lawlss Coffee (Neenah).

Who should we feature next?😁☕️

📍Marks East Side (Appleton, WI)
A Fox Valley staple supper club with German dishes. A great next stop on your list. Grab a steak, some fish, or my favorite, The German Platter and leave with a jar of their bacon dressing.

The best way to sum up Mark's, they seem to care about the little things. All of them.😁
