Cute little place right on the Main Street of Chelan. Since we were there off season there were not a lot of place open. Very large and varied menu, take heed if you are a vegetarian, not a lot of choices. We stood and waited to be seated for about 5 minutes even though there were two servers and only a couple of customers eating. The two of them were far more interested in chatting than anything else. Once we were seated, we got beverages right away and our order taken quickly and the food came out super fast. My husband had the blueberry pancake breakfast, three huge pancakes with blueberry compote and whipped cream as well as bacon and an egg. He said pancakes were good and so big he could only eat half. I had a two egg breakfast that came with pancakes or hash browns, choice of bacon or sausage and toast. I opted for hash browns which were really good; that said, the toast was hardly even brown and it was supposed to be sourdough but if it was, pretty sad excuse for it. The bacon, four slices, was not cooked thoroughly and while it should have been crisp it was pretty limp. All in all the breakfast was ok and the restaurant was clean but I've had better food and its hard to ruin breakfast read more

We wanted fish and chips, told they were out? Ordered the club sandwich. Tots were cold, bread not toasted, bacon not done well like I asked, turkey just shoved on it. Told the server after they hunted her down. She said we can remake it. We said no and left. Never going back there read more

Good amount of food, ordered Chicken Fried Steak and Ruben Sandwich. Taste alright. Food sat waiting at the kitchen serving window when chef done cooking and not served right away. There were better seating with view, but we were not offered. Perhaps walking up their stairs with customers' order is an inconvenience for their staff. Was a little disappointed. read more

You have a delicious looking menu, unfortunately we won't be trying it due to your kitchen refusing to cook an egg white omelet as a guest in our group cannot have yolks. Their reason was an and I quote "a time thing". We left and told our group of 15 we will not be dinning here, ever. Since when did separating whites from yolks become so hard. Do better at accommodating dietary restrictions , this is a tourist town. read more

Pancakes are amazing eggs cooked beautifully service is super kind and quick! I come here every year when I go to Chelan and have never been disappointed! read more

Honestly pretty terrible. The food was just North of barely edible, much of it being undercooked or hardly warm enough to enjoy, the flavor did not make up for the temperature, and the service was a mixed bag where the efforts of the host were overshadowed by the overbearing rudeness of the wait staff. The one item this restaurant excelled at was making us feel like we were not welcome and that hurry up and eat and leave. They were great at giving that impression. read more

This place is a damn good breakfast spot! My wife, daughter and I stopped by here this morning after a wonderful four day Labor Day vacation at Campbells. This is our third time eating breakfast here. My daughter had biscuits and gravy and my wife and I split the apple cup scramble. Big portions! Our scramble was perfect. Lots of meat and cheese. Hot. Fresh. Fast. Probably closer to a five star in terms of getting an awesome breakfast but our waiter and waitress were kind of cold. Like they didn't want to be working. But WTH, who really wants to work? The biscuit was the bomb! Go here! read more

I was on an out of town trip with my partner and while driving through Leavenworth, we decided to stop in Apple Cup Cafe for breakfast. Unfortunately both the experience and food were very disappointing. The waitress (who was different than the one who has greeted and sat us) was short with us when we ordered. My partner asked about a pancake substitute, and she sighed exasperatedly before explaining it wasn't an option, (which is fine, but don't be mad at us for asking the question) I asked for coffee and the snap back was "there's cream on the table" and so I found an almost empty, (and room temperature) container of cream, and wasn't offered any additionally, despite having two cups of coffee. Our food arrived and most of my order was cold. The sausage links were raw in the middle, the (unseasoned) gravy was congealed on my biscuits, and my eggs weren't cooked as ordered. My partner's food was warm enough, but lacked flavor, and the sauce on top of his was also congealed. Around ten minutes into our meal, the same waitress slammed our (unasked for) check face down on our table without a word. We felt very rushed and unwelcomed. Between the angry service and lackluster food, I can't say if ever go back. I'm rarely this disappointed. read more

They haven't missed a beat breakfasts are still the bomb and from the looks of the attendance on a Saturday they still got it.

Haven't been to this place in YEARS and went back out of nostalgia. It was okay, but didn't blow my mind like I had remembered from the past. My hubs did the chicken fried steak and it was completely unsalted. He added salt and it was okay. I did the 1/2 Bob which was still a huge portion and the biscuit was really fluffy. My hashbrowns were pretty flaccid and not browned at all which I didn't love, but it was also an okay dish. One other person in our party ordered the blueberry pancakes which were nice and fluffy - portion size on those was insane!!! There usually is a wait here on weekends especially in summer, but I noticed they opened a new bar area that was open in the morning - if your party is 21+ you can totally grab breakfast in there to skip the main dining room line. In general, there aren't many breakfast spots especially open year-round in this area. It's not a bad choice, but blueberry hills is my current favorite. read more

Waited 50 minutes for our food!! when people who sat down 30 minutes after us got theirs before us!!! Food was cold when it finally came! They never ONCE asked us if we needed anything or apologized for the inconvenience. we were nothing but nice throughout this disrespect! Not sure if this was beacuse we were teenagers, or they just have flat out bad service. Left feeling disappointed and disrespected. Would not recommend read more

We were excited to try the Apple Cup at its new location. We arrived about 8:30am and were the only ones in line. We were ignored for a good 5 minutes before a server acknowledged we were there and seated us. The space is clean, which we appreciate given the age of the old building. While the new space is nice, it is very noisy. The food was bland and basic. Cookie cutter like they had everything ready and threw it together to save time. Again, another Chelan restaurant that we wanted to love but fell very short of being good. There are better choices in the area. read more

Amazing food, huge portions. Get a meal to share. Beautiful views of the river. Service is quick and friendly. read more

Apple Cup Cafe has always been a great experience. Their patience with customers, both rude and polite, is a strength for them besides the quality! Ive been in there when they have been slammed, and they are great under pressure! read more

Both times my family and I have been was great. I love that they open early. The second time, we waited about 15 minutes because there were several families before us. I feel like they ran the place seamlessly and even with the busy crowd, they were attentive. Our food came fairly quickly. This isn't the best breakfast I've ever had but I appreciate that their food isn't greasy at all. Will be back for sure if we're ever back in Lake Chelan to vacation. read more

Food is good, but don't order off the net thinking those are the prices. 7$ for 2 sides of bacon, a take out fee. And everything is 2$ more than advertised. Update your menu online. My one meal that I thought was going to be 20$ ended up being thirty dollars with all the fees. Rediculous read more

Not a good experience for me. The French toast was ok, but my eggs and bacon came out cold. Like it was sitting out for quite some time. Service was not so good. read more

Amazing food, service, and the ambiance really set the breakfast cafe type aesthetic.

Great food, quick, friendly service. Clean and efficient. Reasonably priced in downtown Chelan, WA

Don't get the steak and eggs you'll get a hamburger patty that's ground "sirloin" so it's supposed to be better. Is what we were told also will enjoy you breakfast with slamming plates and cups by the buss boy and dishwasher read more

I'm happy they're back open in an actual place but I won't lie, I didn't realize how much the old place's environment carried the experience. Burgers are good, breakfast is okay, folks working there are generally nice enough, but it was definitely more of a comfort place before the fire, which makes me worry about how long they'll actually last downtown. read more

Honestly not the best breakfast we've had. Felt like they just rush people in and out as quickly as they can. Our eggs we not cooked all the way and I ordered swedish pancakes. Which is something I make at home all the time and was disappointed when they weren't anything like them. They seemed like a normal pancakes rolled up and wasnt even cooked all the way. Didn't even take 3 bites of our food before leaving. read more

We were hoping for the same experience as the old location. The view is nice, but the old local feel was not there. The food was underwhelming, and I've never had to cut a biscuit with a knife. read more

It is your typical American diner. Nothing too outstanding from what I got on the menu. I got the steak and eggs and the country fried steak. Service was super friendly and fast. Reminded of a Dennys type of diner but small town charm. read more

This is a great breakfast restaurant. I would definitely try for other meals based on the great breakfast food. There is a bar area as well that I did not enter, but that might be a great option if having to wait for a table. It was peak breakfast time when we arrived so waited just a few minutes for our table. The food was great, I had a scramble, friends had other staples that looked great also. Perfect portions and reasonable prices, coffee and water glass kept full which is always appreciated. Will be back for sure. read more

Have been here several times and it's great diner style food. Every time we come into town someone in the family stops by, usually for breakfast but sometimes for lunch and drinks. All of the staff seems nice and the food usually comes out quickly. This time around I got the eggs Benny with sausage and one order to go. I wish the hashbrowns were booked more but other than that pretty good and fast for a busy Sunday. read more

Great little diner just when you are driving into Chelan. Hopping place! You will find lots of locals here and repeat customers! Ordered the Big Daddy Omelette. Packed with lots of meat and cheese. Your choice of pancakes or hash browns and toast! Lots of food! The omelette was good and filling but the onions and green peppers not sautéed and were crunchy. Other thing they could have done better serving our food. 3 of us got our food right away and our 4th person had to wait over 5 more minutes. I hate this because we won't touch our food until everyone in our party is served. At least bring them something! It's just not the correct way to serve a small group. Otherwise great service! read more

Ordered the grilled chicken dinner with vegetables. Chicken was fine, but the vegetable was canned corn. Personally, I don't think this qualifies as a vegetable. See photo. I don't think that a whole lot of effort went into it. Honestly, this is just a cafe so I should have stuck with something more standard like a BLT or an omelette. The rest of our food was ok. Not great. Fooled by the 4-star rating. This is a 2.5-3 star cafe at best. read more

When you think of the best breakfast you have ever had anywhere, this will be in the top 5. A locally owned spot that does everything right. On our most recent trip, we had fantastic burgers there with fries so fresh you had to be careful eating them so you did not burn your mouth. On our last day, a few days later, we stopped in for breakfast before heading home. We should have split the breakfast burrito because each half was a full breakfast. The huevos rancheros where served on corn tacos and very good. Service was fast and efficient and tables were appropriately blocked off for social distancing. read more

We stopped in on our trip to Lake Chelan. This restaurant has a large menu, we ate breakfast? Great food and service.

One of our go tos on the out skirts of downtown Chelan. Favorites include the clubhouse sandwich (add Swiss cheese), their amazing homemade potato salad (baby reds make it the best!), Bloody Mary's (+$1.50 for a double), burgers, chicken fried steak, etc. The staff are all hard working and hustle to take your order and get your food out. It's a classic Americana diner with experienced staff that feels organized and clean. Stop by for a cup of coffee and some cottage cheese pancakes or lingonberry crepes! read more

One of the gems of the Chelan breakfast scene. A traditional breakfast menu where they do everything right. Service is fast and friendly - our food came out shockingly fast. Prices are fair and it definitely feels like a place the locals enjoy. Will happily dine here again. read more

Cute, rustic diner with a cozy vibe. Food was decent but mediocre at best. Portion sizes were good and you'll definitely leave feeling full. Service was also prompt albeit hurried because the place is often busy and they seem understaffed. There wasn't one real standout dish we could pinpoint but the pancakes is probably a safe option. read more

My husband and I came to this restaurant twice! I had the oriental salad(I prefer grilled chicken and the dressing on the side). My husband had a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Nice staff, good food and very filling plates. Highly recommend! read more

This review is from one single visit. Was in town for a few days golfing with some buddies on a mini golf vacation from Western Washington. One of the guys I was with owns a place right on the river over there and recommended this café for our get out of town breakfast on the last day. Breakfast is one of those simple meals that even I as a bachelor can knockout of the ballpark. I can fry up a batch of taters and no problem here simply frying bacon cooking sausage scrambling some eggs or frying eggs and serving biscuits or toast or pancakes or whatever. It's such a basic simple meal to prepare and either you can make it properly with good food and good ingredients or you cannot. Quality fresh ingredients and an attentive semiskilled cook is all that's needed. This is a case of this café / diner serves really low quality food with below par cooks in the kitchen. I ordered the 'standard breakfast' which I'm pretty sure was priced at around $11 on the menu. Not cheap not super expensive but I expected so much better than what was on the plate served to me. The scrambled eggs were very non spectacular, the hashbrowns were served well done crispy as I asked but it was obvious they were just plain old frozen hashbrowns out of a bag. Why any independent privately owned diner doesn't also offer fried breakfast potatoes as an option to hash browns is just beyond me. They are so cheap and so easy to prepare and season properly and are 1000 times better that even the best frozen bag of hashbrowns you could purchase. The biggest disappointment was the two sausage patties on my plate...oh my God. They were approximately 1/8 of an inch thick and were of the cheapest most generic quality of institutionalized sausage patties available on the open market for diners to purchase. They looked sad they tasted even more pathetic than they looked. Do Not order sausage patties at this diner. The toast was served cold. And there were flies and other flying insects little gnats everywhere throughout the restaurant. The only reason I gave them one star beyond minimum was our server was very prompt and took care of us quite well. The booths were so tiny as if they were designed for four grade school kids to sit at, not 4 grown men. I'm quite sure any Dennys - anywhere USA could've served a better breakfast. which is such a slap in the face to a small independently owned breakfast diner read more

Not a lot of places to eat or drink "up the hill from downtown" so this was the closest to our hotel within easy walking distance (mom has two bad knees). Food was just alright. Omelette was tasty. Prices are reasonable. The bar side, drinks are cheap, specially if you're coming from a big city. Go early, bar and cafe close at 8pm. read more

It's your typical diner far with friendly service. We had the breakfast and it was decent

I've been coming to Chelan for a few years now and I don't know what took me so long to get here for breakfast but OMG is it good !! I had the Eggs Bearnaise and it was insanely good . Everything came out in a reasonable time and the waitresses were on it . Constantly checking on people keeping our cups full of coffee and just sweet girls . I'll be in town for 4 days and I've officially decided I will be having breakfast here all 4 days . read more
