    When in Coeur d'Alene do yourself a favor and get yourself a German pancake
    Martin R.

    When in Coeur d'Alene, do yourself a favor and get yourself a German pancake at Elmer"s! It's such a rare find and such a delicacy. I had the combo with eggs and bacon, plus the strawberry topping on the pancake - this was wonderfully delicious! On this Sunday morning there were quite a few people waiting for a table but the crowd moved quickly and it didnt take too long. Service was quick and to the point; I never saw the bottom of my coffee cup! As for ambiance, it's comparable to a diner. Definitely recommended!

    The German pancake was both sweet and savory. I've never had anything like this before. Husband had prime rib hash. I also had a lavender mimosa. All of it over the top delicious. Reasonable prices. I wish I could visit again but we were just passing through. Service was excellent.

    It looks like a Dennys but the food is better. The German Pancake is great. The ambiance nice Coffee was good! Strawberry waffles were good

    Excellent food and a great experience. Our server Ashley was so sweet and gave us good advice on what to order - the German pancake was so yummy. The manager was so kind as well! Thank you for a very good experience. We will be back.

    No counter to sit at. And I don't like it one bit when you can't see what's going on in the kitchen. Place seems clean enough.

Upon entering I loved seeing the old wood paneling and green vinyl seats. Such a nostalgic feel to the place. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy their breakfast and we all left satisfied. I personally had the 2 eggs breakfast with sausage patty with biscuits and gravy. The sausage patty seemed homemade as it didn't have the look or taste of your typical frozen patty. The eggs were cooked to a perfect medium. The biscuits and gravy stole the show. I like to consider myself a connoisseur of biscuits and gravy as I try it at just about every place it's offered and this one might just make the top 3. The biscuit was fluffy and dense but also a little crispy on the outside. The gravy was flavorful and full of sausage, no skimping here. I also tried my dad's chicken fried steak and my mom's zucchini bread. Both were divine! Happy we stumbled upon this spot and would gladly come back.

Not only is Izzy's a gluten free cafe, the food is next level. Inventive, fresh, flavorful and a blend of traditional favorites with modern twists. I was torn between the shrimp and grits and the Virginia Benedict. The fried Green tomatoes instead of a traditional English muffin sounded too delicious to pass up. It was perfectly portioned, seasoned and balanced. Beautifully poached egg topped with micro greens and tangy pickled white onions nestled between delicious fried Green tomatoes and blackened shrimp. Creamy, velvety hollendaise brought everything together. My partner had a delicious omelet with Idaho potatoes Oh, lavender mimosas with edible flowers were a nice touch too. Only 44 seats including a small counter, so reservations are recommend. But there is great shopping in the area if you have a wait like we did. This is a must try whether you're gluten free or not. I'll be back for those grits!

It feels like you somehow wandered into a slightly spooky Disney bayou attraction that also happens to serve brunch. Decorated to the nines and immersive, it is both a meal and an experience. We went for an early Sunday breakfast and were seated quickly. By the time we left around 9 there were still a handful of open tables, but I would guess reservations are smart from 9:30 on. I started with a cortado made with Evan's Brothers beans. They also offer a chicory blend if that is your thing. Our waitress was attentive, answered all of our questions, and was great about a few modifications we asked for. They do have some gluten free and vegetarian options, though not a huge amount of gluten free. We started with the beignets and they were excellent. Perfect portion for two with a couple topping options. I would go back just for those. I ordered their take on eggs Benedict and my husband had the classic breakfast plate. Both were really flavorful, but the seasoned potatoes were a standout. Portions are generous, we ended up getting two more portions out of the leftovers. Overall, a really fun and memorable brunch spot. I am looking forward to going back for one of the events when they have live music.
