Wildflower Cafe has been a local favorite in Evergreen for over 30 years and was originally opened by legendary Graham Coddington. It went through a few hands since, including Chris Mills and Colin & Britta Kerr. Erin Myers and Valerie Hartford purchased The Wildflower Cafe in 2024. The intent of the cafe has always remained the same: to serve delicious food in a fun & cozy environment. We love to serve anyone who visits our small town and especially love our locals. All of our food is created with love and everything... our sauces, dressings, gravy, soups, bloody mix, etc... are made from scratch. The goal of Erin and Valerie is to keep the traditions of previous owners and add a little of their own flair.
Co-Owner: Erin is married to Jeremy and together they have two kids, James & Etta. Wildflower is the first place they ate when moving to Evergreen in 2014. Erin has always wanted her own restaurant and although not professionally trained is a great cook herself! The weekly and frozen soups are 100% her recipes and she is the creator of the Wake Eggs-N-Bakey Burger. She loves feeding people good food! Help make her soup dreams come true and purchase one of our frozen quarts of soup! You can often see Erin in the Kitchen during the weekdays. Fun fact, she was a Ghost Tour Guide!
Co-Owner: Valerie moved to Evergreen in 2012 and has four kiddos, Daxton, Kellan, Keely and McCall . She has always been a regular at the cafe and was friends with previous owners Colin and Britta. At the end of 2023, she convinced Erin to buy the cafe with her. They quickly jumped at the opportunity! Valerie works at a Denver area Hospital during the weekdays and can be seen at the restaurant after hours & on the weekends. She often can be seen serving guests her favorite, Bear Fart Shot! She most enjoys coming up with our monthly drink specials and chatting with new guests and with our regulars. Fun fact, she was an acrobat in Vegas in her younger days!
Chef: Josh Chef Bear Work is an Evergreen native and has been a staple at the cafe for the past decade. It was here that he met the love of his life, our local legend Kate. Chef Bear has improved some of the Wildflower recipes over the years, such as our famous Sausage Gravy, Big Bear Burger, and is currently operating his Cajun Night menu and bringing back some popular items to our All Darn Day Menu. He enjoys serving our community and those who pass by, food is his love language, and if you've tasted his work you already know. When not at the cafe, he enjoys spending time with Kate and their menagerie on there homestead.... Fun fact, he likes taking ice baths on social media as the Emotional Support Viking.
Previous Owners: Colin & Britta Kerr, Chris Mills, and Graham Coddington.
