About
Bill and Kelli Davis needed a catchy name for their restaurant. They chose Wild Bill's Coffee and Bistro, drawing upon Garden Valley's Gold Rush history and an infamous cowboy outlaw. The eatery opened in 2009 to rave reviews, offering hot coffee and hearty breakfasts and lunches.
In 2012, it moved to its current location, which offered more room, enabling Bill and Kelli to enlarge their menu. The restaurant continues to be a Garden Valley staple, especially since it is near area landmarks and attractions. Before visiting Weilmunster Park, get your morning coffee and a hot breakfast at Wild Bill's. And with Idaho Sleigh Rides and the Starlight Mountain Theatre a short drive away, planning your vacation itinerary just got simpler.
The eatery opens at 7 AM, making this the perfect breakfast destination before a day of exploration and adventure. And since it stays open until 6 PM Wednesday through Saturday, it is an ideal spot to refuel and reconnect after a day in the mountains.
The eatery often hosts special events like Pajama Party Brunch with mimosas and a photo booth. Its Facebook page also features weekly dinner specials, adding more appeal to the eatery.
Look no further than Wild Bill's Coffee and Bistro when you need hearty food in a downhome setting.
