This is an old fashioned diner type restaurant, the oldest cafe in west seattle. I love their breakfasts, and they are inexpensive for good food. The waitresses are delightful as well. The Chelan isn't really on Alki but it's not in the junction, it's more in the Alki area. It's under the west seattle bridge off Harbor Ave (alki turns into Harbor Ave).
