I am extremely happy that I was able to find this Jenn. The service was absolutely amazing and the entire vibe of the spot was great. I love the fact that it was in a old firehouse. My coffee was on par with what I expect from a coffee shop of this caliber. Now the food, was surprisingly good because it's hard to find a coffee shop that has great coffee and good food. Whenever I'm back in the area, I will be stopping by.

The owners experiment with new flavors too, and sometimes add international flares like Coconut Guava Mochi. I'm salivating right now thinking about it.

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.

The food, baked goods,and coffees are delicious. The atmosphere is so calming. There are beautiful paintings of Carol's artwork surrounding the cafe.

Its a rare treat in these stressful times where everything is rushed and impersonal. Highly recommend!

Although it's not near the hustle and bustle/shops, it's definitely worth the short trek off the highway! We absolutely loved our lattes (we each got the pumpkin cloud, one hot and one iced). The flavors were so good! The baristas were so friendly and the vibes were immaculate! Oh and there's a drive thru! We will def be back!!
