It was for a small retirement party, and because my husband plays guitar I asked if a guitar could be put on the cake. They definitely did a wonderful job and added music notes along the side! It was a lot bigger than I expected, and the cake was gone before I knew it! Thanks again for another wonderful job!

I stopped by Roasted Coffee Bar after breakfast nearby in search of an espresso drink. The cashier…read morewas immediately so friendly, and I always appreciate a place that will make your drink in your own mug rather than force disposables on you. They also have a whole menu of seasonal drinks (about 10), including chai and matcha lattes, which is so fun. I got a white chocolate strawberry drink called Ballet with AJ in honor of next weekend's town strawberry festival. Roasted Coffee Bar also sells local products, including candles, honey, earrings, and of course, coffee beans/ground coffee. Finally, instead of calling my name or drink, the barista, clearly a fellow fan, just yelled, "Who's got a Harry Potter mug?" Love the staff, decor, and ambience, which was otherwise quiet. I look forward to returning if I'm ever in town again.

Going from memory there's a maple syrup stand from a local farm, some wooden signs that hang is decoration in your kitchen or home which I believe you can order custom made from that particular small business, doggie treats, and a few other things I'm forgetting but this will give you a reason to stop in and look for yourself. No for the good part, the desserts. Everything made right there from scratch and everything very delicious. You get a piece of cake from this place and it's almost big enough to be considered a meal. Prices are not too bad for the amount of product they give you. She also carries a very good selection of gluten-free desserts that quite honestly do not taste like they are gluten free. There's been a couple times that she will have something that sounds really good but my first thought was oh crap it's gluten free it's not going to taste as good. This is definitely not accurate. If you didn't know it you would never guess it. She also does special orders, cake decorating is unbelievable. During the correct time of year she also sells girl scout cookies from a local troop, and now that I mentioned that she has a thin mint cookie cake from time to time that is super delicious. Cannolis are filled to order so they're not soggy, and oddly enough one of the more important things on my list when I'm in there lately is a cup of coffee. They have quite a few flavors available and it's just as good as the desserts they serve.

Let me tell you, Yelpers, there's a reason why Carol's has a rare nearly 5.0 rating from 70…read morereviewers as of today. Or perhaps I should say "reasons" why. To start, this place has such a genuine small-town vibe, it's almost surreal. Live music, artwork from locals, the hand-lettered signs on the bakery items on display. I've made it a custom to stop in Owego about once a year, although I missed it last year. This year, I went about 20 miles (each way) out of my way to visit this gem of a coffee, sandwich, and bake shop. I found a parking space right in front, and immediately the live singer/guitarist could be heard from a speaker at the front door, but unobtrusively, delivering a very professional sounding "Brown Eyed Girl." I think that was the same song he was singing when I last visited two years ago. I was greeted by the staff like I had only been away two days, and the singer glanced my way and nodded a welcome as though he, too, remembered me. The coffee mug is perhaps the largest I've ever seen, and the DaVinci egg salad sandwich was also generously executed (recommendation: spring for the olives for an extra 25 cents). On the way out, I picked up two Dream Bars (a peanut butter and a coconut) to prolong the Carol's experience for just a bit. Yes, there's a reason, too, why they're called Dream Bars.

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.

These are the BEST doughnuts I have ever had. No. Seriously. THE best. But I do have to confess…read morethat I didn't stray too far from the cruller and the plain glazed doughnut just because my mouth wouldn't let me. The texture of both was moist... not the just-about-cooked-and-still-sort-of-wet kind of moist, but the perfectly-cooked sort where the dough just melts in your mouth. (I'm a texture eater... What can I say?) and there wasn't so much glaze that it overpowered the doughnut (I'm lookin' at you, Krispy Kreme). Now, I must give you fair warning that there isn't much of a selection. They offer the basics: plain, glazed, crullers (on Fridays), jelly-filled, chocolate, powdered, blueberry, and the occasional seasonal flavors like pumpkin, BUT they are so delicious that you don't need all the crazy toppings to distract you from the dough. A dozen doughnuts goes for $7.45 and they accept credit/debit on anything over $5. They also offer bagels, but 1) why would you ever buy a bagel outside of the metropolitan NYC area and 2) why would you buy a bagel when their doughnuts are so damn delicious??
