This is us
The Apple Cup Cafe, originally known as the Snack Shack was founded in 1957. Soon after its establishment, it was renamed, paying homage to the hydroplane races held in Chelan between 1957-1960. Though the races have come and gone, the name has been there forevermore!
The Best Bite in
the Neighborhood
Owned and operated by the Peterson family since 1996, second-generation owners Ryan and Erin Peterson have carried on the tradition since 2013. Known for family-style meals and generous portions, the Apple Cup Café is committed to providing a relaxed, welcoming environment where guests can enjoy a great meal and feel right at home.
​
After an unexpected fire in 2024, the Apple Cup began a new chapter, relocating to a brand-new space in 2025. Now situated in the heart of downtown Chelan, the cafe continues to serve the community with the same warmth, tradition, and home-cooked comfort it’s known for—just in a fresh new setting.
Open: Thursday-Monday 7:00am-2:00pm
