Apple Cup Cafe

The food is generally what you'd expect from such a cafe, the difference was the great service. Will come back next time I'm in town.

Very good! Good food. Fast and friendly service. My husband ordered an omelette, it was HUGE! Came with hash browns and toast. I just grabbed a simple egg,ham and toast breakfast.Orange juice was fresh squeezed Everything was cooked to order and tasted great!

If you only have a day in Chelan, eat here. Breakfast all day (they're jammed in the morning for good reason, ask to dine in the lounge to avoid a wait), daily specials (pot roast, pork roast, $1.50 tacos), mimosas, pies... and fast, friendly down-home service. LOVE it here. Apple Cup Cafe makes Chelan special.

Great food. Good service and friendly staff.

Always love to eat here when in Chelan, never disappoints. Good food and friendly staff.

No star deserved here!
We were really looking forward to going to this restaurant.
The staff was unfriendly. And we had the rudest waitress of all time!! One person in our party had eggs which were undercooked and transparent. We asked for new eggs politely and she ‘threw’ the dish into the dirty bin creating an uncomfortable situation for us and other patrons.
My omelette was cold. My husband’s Rueben sandwich was sparse with meat.
In a small town with a high tourist turnover, there are other restaurants to patron which provide excellent food and customer service.

Food was great. Wait staff very efficient and pleasant. I will stop there again.

Good food and service. Very welcoming

Cute atmosphere and good food! I would have rated 5 stars, except for a certain incident that now has me and my friends referring to it as “The Diaper Restaurant.”
Pause. Let’s rewind! It was a hot summer morning in early August. My friends and I were on vacation in Lake Chelan for a few days, and one of my friends recommended this restaurant for breakfast. The food sounded good, and it looked cozy on the inside, so we agreed. However, nothing could have prepared us for what we encountered.
As we pulled into the parking lot of the Apple Cup, our car narrowly avoided a strange object lying on the ground. We didn’t think much of it, and parked at the spot nearest to the door, which also happened to be several feet away from this unidentified lump on the ground.
When we opened the car door, we were hit with a blast of the most rancid stench known to man. It was one of those painfully-strong smells where you can’t even breathe through your mouth… it was that bad.
We slammed the door shut to ward off The Great Stink, and we assessed the parking lot to find the origins of this foul smell, peering out the window like soldiers peeking out of the trenches. All signs pointed to the mysterious lump lying in the parking lot, which unfortunately was positioned directly on the path from our car to the front door.
We decided to face our fears, because we were hungry and we were already here. So, we threw open the car doors and began Olympic speed-walking toward the front door, making sure to give the lump a wide berth.
As we got nearer to the object, we realized in shock and horror what it was. It was an adult-sized pair of underwear with poop inside of it covered in flies… that had been baking in the hot August sun for god knows how long!
I repeat, these were adult-sized! We call it “The Diaper” for convenience, but no baby could have committed this heinous crime.
Upon this realization, we sprinted the rest of the way inside, and we could hardly contain our shocked and hysterical laughter when we shut the front door to block out the putrid odor once again.
Like I said earlier, the food was great! Our appetite was a bit ruined, I think I had some pancakes, and my friends had waffles and a burger. Super good. I just wish it hadn’t been preceded by the rankest stench I have ever smelled.
We finished our meal in dread for happening upon the… diaper… on our way back to the car. We prayed that perhaps someone had disposed of it, as other people were coming into the diner now, so surely someone must have said something.
But no. The moment we left the restaurant we had to sprint past the diaper again, avoiding it like the Bubonic Plague.
On our drive back home, we speculated how The Diaper could’ve possibly ended up there, with actual poop in it.
Now, it makes for a gross, yet entertaining story. So, I thank the Apple Cup (or as we now call it, “The Diaper Restaurant”) for such a unique and memorable experience, but I am not sure if my smell-receptors will ever recover from this. I would recommend for the great food (as long as there is no festering diaper in front! The food really is delicious though)!

We loved our dinner here as always! We have to end out dinner with the best apple crisp we’ve ever had topped with ice cream and a cup of the best coffee! I would love to know what kind of coffee they use? Best burger ever ❤️
