About

Our Historic Building

Story

As has been the case with several historic buildings and houses in Coupeville, the Kapaw’s Iskreme building was eventually moved from its original location to its current location. Another building that was moved is the Recreation Hall directly behind Kapaw’s. The Rec Hall originally housed workers who were building the Grand Coolee Dam in eastern Washington. It was moved to Coupeville following completion of the dam on the behest of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Although the Kapaw’s Iskreme building is often referred to as the Historic Abstract Building, indeed if the light is just right you can still see the outline of the abstract office letters that were on the front of the building for over 50 years, it has also served as a meat market, real estate office, video store, barber shop and coffee shop among others.

The building has been an ice cream shop since 1968 when Jim and Dave Stewart opened the Wet Whisker, a shop specializing in ice cream and coffee beans. Soon they opened another Wet Whisker on the mainland. Eventually they decided to specialize in coffee and changed the name of their company from the Wet Whisker to Stewart Brothers and finally, Seattle’s Best Coffee. That’s right, the Northwest coffee craze started right here in the Kapaw’s Iskreme building in historic downtown Coupeville.

Come visit us and enjoy a ice cream cone in the second oldest town in the state of Washington.

We are open daily from the first Friday in March through the first Saturday in December.

This has got to be the best ice cream shop on Whidbey island. They have a great selection of flavors and a great deal of one single order that can have up to 3 different flavors for only $4. So its no surprise there's a long line of people on nice sunny days. Flavors to try are huckleberry, cookies and cream, and pistachio.
Today I stopped in after being referred over by Patsy at the Vail Wine Shop. The ice cream is delicious. The homemade waffle cone was the best I’ve ever had, and the customer service was great! It was nice to walk along the dock and enjoy my ice cream!
The best ice cream around with the best customer service! Such yummy flavors. I went with Huckleberry, BlackBerry, and Chocolate Mousse and it was pretty much the greatest decision of their life. And their homemade waffle cones are divine!
3 generous scoops of delicious ice cream for $4 is amazing!! Enjoy by the picnic tables near the store and ocean view. A refreshing welcome to the island.
Great value with homemade waffle cones for no extra charge.
Didn’t go inside, but it looked like a popular place. Couldn’t resist but take this picture! Hope the owners likes it.
