The staff is always lovely, the food and drinks are stellar, and the atmosphere is very calm.

I have to be honest here... this place is very touch and go. The staff are super friendly and it's…read moregenerally a cute small-town cafe (it even has a drive thru!) but after giving this place many chances, the food is just too inconsistent. In general, their drinks are pretty good. No real issues here, so if you're just going there for coffee, have at it. However, it's mostly standard fare (premade mixes and syrups) with a couple seasonal specials. But the food... I got a blueberry lemon cookie that didn't taste like either, nor was it even sweet, just tasted like soft flour (couldn't even force myself to finish it). Or the Big Mac wrap; the ingredients were all over the place so you couldn't really get a complete bite, it was dripping in grease, and it gave me a stomachache for several hours thereafter (despite no food allergies). There have been some instances where I had a good pastry or got a sandwich that was actually pretty good, but because the times my food wasn't good were just TOO seriously bad (not just meh, BAD), it completely broke my trust. I can't always be sure that I'll order something and it'll be edible. So while I might consider stopping by for a drink out of convenience and support for a local small business (rather than buying it at the gas station), I won't be ordering food.

I am very judgmental about the taste of coffee and am very rarely pleased (although I still sip it…read moredown and deal with it lol), but we have gotten drinks from this place 2 days in a row and I have loved it both times!! Highly recommend their iced caramel latte with whole milk. Today I tried Miss Piggy on a sun-dried tomato bagel. The bagel tasted homemade which I loved and the entire sandwich was very light and fresh. I do wish the maple aioli had more of a wow factor. The flavors of the sandwich were pretty simple. Also I think there should be more ham on it, but it was pretty good. I definitely recommend this place for their coffee and would suggest the sun-dried tomato bagel!

A lovely little cafe with a wonderful staff and the perfect menu. We stopped two days in a row…read moreduring our weekend in the Catskills. It seems like you could get almost everything you need right here. They offered sweet morning pastries, there was a selection of cakes and desserts to bring back to our accommodations for later, and they offered a cooked breakfast and lunch (and brunch!) menu. The coffee was great, and we took some beans home. If you live locally, I read that they also offer free used coffee grinds to take home to your garden. My favorite part of the cafe, is that the donut flavors rotate, making things very interesting. I absolutely loved my little lemon poppyseed donut, but when the warm cinnamon sugar ones came right out of the oven, they absolutely stole the show. The burger for lunch was delightful, and the quiche was quite lovely as well. Highly recommend stopping in, no matter the occasion you will leave feeling refreshed with a wonderful bite to eat.

Stopped by Carol's Coffee & Art Bar as part of a recent visit to Owego. I'm definitely a fan any…read morecafe or similar space that integrates art into their environment, and there were quite a variety of lovely pieces at Carol's - many by the owner, but also included are other local artists. The menu, of course, also has "Carol's Favorite 'Comfort Food' Sandwiches" on the menu, all named after famous artists. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I'm a huge Van Gogh fan, so I ordered the "Van Gogh" sandwich that comes with oven roasted turkey breast layered on sourdough bread and lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The sandwich was good, but I have to say that proportions of the ingredients felt a bit off. I also noticed during the prep of my plate that the chips came from opening a bag (a bulk version similar to ripple chips you'd just buy at the store). In a cafe space like this, you can't necessarily expect people to be making everything from scratch... but I think it's just helpful to note to keep expectations in line. The drink that I ordered was made well (their beverage selection is at the very back of the menu). You can definitely tell that this is a community space, and it seemed like a number of locals filtered in throughout the lunch. There are notes on the tables that advise of a 90 minute limit for sitting at the table (not something I've ever actually seen before), and there's wifi available for use by customers. Perhaps an awkward experience was just related to the overall service? You grab a menu and choose your table if you're dining in, but you end up paying at the counter. Personally, if I'm going to sit down to eat then I'd prefer to have the check brought to the table and pay that way. The space is a bit cramped by the counter, so it seems like it'd benefit to minimize the foot traffic that has to wait there. And perhaps this is silly, but upon paying for the lunch, the server handed me my receipt and said "Just sign here", and then seemed to be somewhat... abrupt? I feel like I'm pretty low maintenance when dining out, but it just left me going "OH. Okay. Time for me to get out of the way" (it's worth noting that at the time, there was nobody waiting around, or to get to, the counter). Still, it was enjoyable to stop at Carol's Coffee & Art Bar. It's a more unique space with nice offerings.

Before visiting, we read some comments about parking being tricky since it's in a residential area, but we had no issues finding a spot on a side street. In fact, I think the location is perfect--a cozy neighborhood spot that feels welcoming and authentic. Now, onto the coffee! I had a latte with coconut milk, toasted almond, and coconut, and it was amazing--smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. My wife's drink was just as good. You can tell they put care into their craft, and the quality shines through. We'll definitely be making Seneca Sunrise Coffee our go-to spot whenever we're in the area.
