Elmo's Diner is a delightful gem in Durham! 🌟 I stopped by for breakfast and was greeted by the friendliest staff and an upbeat atmosphere. I ordered the 4-ingredient omelette with home fries and a slice of their pumpkin apple bread - absolutely delicious! 🍞 My partner loved the fluffy waffles topped with warm blueberry compote.

Despite the busy Saturday crowd, our food arrived promptly, and the coffee flowed endlessly. Don't miss out on this cozy, trendy spot if you're in town! Will definitely return! ☕✨
