There are a lot of restaurants claiming to be “farm-to-table” these days, but one particular Idaho gem is set in a gorgeous, must-see space: a restored historic farmhouse on the original farm. Tucked away in Hayden, Idaho, this relatively new cafe is just a stone’s throw away from the original picture-perfect barn and silo, making it a pleasantly charming place to dine despite its city locale. To make things extra special, in a world that prizes fast food and ready-made eats, this little cafe is all about cooking up their menu items from scratch, just the way they should be! Unique pies, creative and swoon-worthy cinnamon rolls… don’t even get me started on the photo-worthy desserts! And since it’s all served in a rustic space that is impossible not to love, you’ll feel just as close to Idaho’s rural roots as if you were dining in grandma’s kitchen.

Stoddard Park is a fairly recent addition to the Hayden, Idaho community.

But nestled in between Prairie Avenue and the park is a quaint gem of a restaurant: Chomper Cafe, which serves up mouth-watering dishes that are both sweet and savory.

Organic, straight from the farm options, unique dishes like the Crab Benny, fresh freezer jams and marmalades, plus heart-stopping cinnamon rolls are just a few of the incredible dishes you'll find at this warm and welcoming eatery.
The restaurant itself was completely restored to be a homey, comfortable place to dine.

Inside, the walls are filled with gorgeous old black and white photos that capture the rural charm of Idaho and pay homage to its agricultural roots. Your view as you dine will be of a rich, green park, featuring the rustic beauty of the farm's original red barn and silo.
But the food is just as lovely as Chompers' idyllic farm setting.

The delightfully vibrant flavors of the Sour Cream Lemon Pie or the Chomperberry pie are too magnificent for words. But if you're like me and one slice just isn't enough, you can also buy them whole!
Or, just grab one of these ooey-gooey, meltingly mouthwatering chocolate dreams.
