Did you get it right?
The diner counter has coffee, a cup and saucer, cream, sugar, toast, a napkin holder, and a paper check. One expected item is missing.

The Answer
The correct answer is: The teaspoon is missing..
Here is why
- The coffee cup and saucer are ready.
- Cream and sugar are both available.
- There is no teaspoon anywhere on the counter, in the background, or in a reflection.
Why people miss it
The setting looks complete because all the larger breakfast items are present. The absent spoon is noticed only after mentally using the coffee service.
