Since 1960, Elmer’s has been providing delicious food and personable, gracious service, making every meal a memorable family dining experience. Known for Walt Elmer’s famous buttermilk pancakes and the Classic German Pancake, which is “almost as big as Crater Lake,” Elmer’s has become a staple in the Northwest for its mouthwatering breakfast items and fresh, seasonal entrées.
The menu features traditional flavors and Northwest favorites such as Oregon Marionberry syrup, Tillamook cheese, and sausages from Portland-based Zenner’s Sausage Company.
While the food is a star in its own right, it’s the service that makes guests smile. Led by local owner Jacky Donnell and a genuine, friendly team, Palm Springs’ Elmer’s delights in welcoming desert residents as well as Northwestern snowbirds craving a taste of home. The dining room, adorned with historical and scenic Palm Springs photography, is inviting and comfortable, while the outdoor, pet-friendly patio with vistas of Mount San Jacinto is the perfect place to sip mimosas.
In addition to winning local best breakfast awards, Palm Springs’ Elmer’s has been recognized by Yelp as one of the Top 50 Brunch Spots in the United States. Donnell is proud of the reputation the eatery has built as a local favorite and strives to make Elmer’s the restaurant of choice for generations to come.
