"Founded in 1960 by Walt and Dorothy Elmer under its original name, Elmer’s Colonial Pancake House, our values have always been to provide quality food ingredients, gracious service and the clean surroundings that make you feel at home. Walt, Dorothy and their three sons worked hard to bring home-style cooking to those of us lucky enough to live in the Northwest!. Elmer’s began with breakfast… and rumor has it that Walt Elmer kept the original pancake batter recipe locked in his safe."

"Elmer’s might not have the modern shine of other breakfast/brunch spots in Palm Springs, but when you’re in the mood for a straightforward breakfast without any bells and whistles, you can’t beat it. The old-school diner has a large menu filled with every breakfast staple you could want - skillets, pancakes, waffles, crepes, and our favorite eggs Benedict in town. They currently have two outdoor patios and a new shaded dining area on the grass."

"This locally owned gem, voted Best Breakfast by Palm Springs Life readers, features an extensive menu of made-from-scratch favorites, gracious service, and a pet-friendly outdoor patio. PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY ELMER'S"
