Its…read morein the middle of a small town but you can tell its the local hot spot because so many people were there and a lot of people were doing pick up. I can understand why the menu is so diverse and there are a million drink options. Also, the customer service was incredible, everyone was very nice. One downside is that there is only one bathroom but the upside is that it was very very clean. I also love all the options they had for drinks. They have a daily drink of the day that changes. My friends got that and loved it. I got one of there seasonal drink, the Spring Fling macchiato. It was a lavender and marshmallow macchiato with cold foam and sprinkles. The food options are pasties and creative toast. I personally did not get food but my friend got toast (the prosciutto & pesto one) and she loved it. All in all I would recommend this place 10/10!

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.

We love discovering local coffee shops that aren't part of big corporate chains, and Seneca Sunrise…read moreCoffee was a fantastic find as we were heading out of the area. 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. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for a great local coffee experience!
