Shortly after Caf\u00e9 Della opened this summer, a 9-year-old named Lucy was already enjoying her second visit to the restaurant when she declared, \u201cThis is exactly what Hailey needs!\u201d<\/p>\n

A couple of months later, it sure looks like Lucy was right.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople really like what we\u2019re doing and they keep coming back,\u201d said Liza Green, caf\u00e9 co-owner. \u201cIt\u2019s important that everyone feels welcome when they come here and they realize that we appreciate having them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Della has brought a fresh look to the restaurant\u2019s historic location next to Luke\u2019s Pharmacy on Main Street, while also offering breakfast and lunch options that are unlike anything else in the south Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cFresh foods that make you feel good\u201d is how Liza describes their delectable offerings, and she credits business partner and accomplished chef, Ashley Roop.<\/p>\n

\u201cAshley is passionate about quality ingredients simply prepared. A lot of attention and effort goes into everything we make,\u201d Liza said.<\/p>\n

Besides making fresh pastries daily, something Ashley once did for the Four Seasons in Jackson Hole, the team at Caf\u00e9 Della offers a seasonally focused menu that takes advantage of the freshest and healthiest ingredients they can find. In addition to their delicious baked treats and cookies, Caf\u00e9 Della has quickly earned a following for dishes like their Spiced Overnight Oats and Trout and Egg for breakfast and \u201cupdated classics\u201d like their Pork Sandwich and Heirloom Tomato Salad for lunch. Caf\u00e9 Della is also the only local restaurant that serves Doma Coffee, a specialty roaster from Post Falls, which some say is the best coffee in the state.<\/p>\n

Opening a restaurant that serves great food and is also a part of the community has long been a dream that both Liza and Ashley have shared. The longtime friends met while working in the restaurant industry and believe that Hailey is the ideal place to make their dream come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love Hailey,\u201d Liza said, adding that she feels Caf\u00e9 Della offers food and a vibe that our \u201csmall-town community was missing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the good vibes at Caf\u00e9 Della, which some folks are saying is akin to a Hailey version of Ketchum\u2019s legendary Cristina\u2019s Restaurant, comes from the space itself. Unlike other restaurants that have been in the location over the years, Caf\u00e9 Della has a clean, modern feel while still honoring local history.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is named after Hailey\u2019s Della Mountain, in part because of the pioneering woman the mountain was named after. Carrie \u201cDella\u201d Strahorn helped establish the city of Hailey and, amongst her other claims to fame, Della was the first woman to tour what became national parks like Glacier and Yellowstone by stagecoach.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a very impressive woman and we are honored to name our caf\u00e9 after her,\u201d Liza said.<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Della is certainly honoring its namesake by pioneering a welcomed new edition to the local restaurant scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to feel comfortable here,\u201d Liza said. \u201cTo know that we have healthy and tasty food for life\u2019s everyday celebrations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Della is open Monday through Saturday for breakfast and lunch. Located at 103 South Main Street, check out their Facebook page, CafeDella.com, or call (208) 913-0263 for more information.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
