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.

Everything is wonderful about Carol's . Just Carol herself…read moreis such a warm,friendly, sweet person. She makes you feel welcomed and comfortable as if your in someone's home. The food, baked goods,and coffees are delicious. The atmosphere is so calming. There are beautiful paintings of Carol's artwork surrounding the cafe. A n d about once a week there is live music performed by a very talented musician. Its truly a warm welcoming café to just relax and feel comfortable. Its a rare treat in these stressful times where everything is rushed and impersonal. Highly recommend!

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.

The staff is so friendly, and the food is always great! Love their lunch specials and amazing…read moredesserts! You can't walk out without a cookie or slice of cake or pie. Our favorites are bacon chicken ranch panini and a slice of carrot cake!

Lunch on the deck on a blisteringly hot June day, but the gentle breeze made it a delight. The…read morestaff is gracious and appropriately attentive to render excellent service. They serve breakfast all day, so Meg had a Vegetable Omelet and I enjoyed a BLT my way, (Crisp bacon, American cheese, and plenty of mayo.) This is a good time to mention their himemade bread. Delicious, and you can take a loaf home if you wish. Meg said her Toasted Marshmallo Latte was delightful. My iced tea was exeĺlent. Whyy is that worth mentioning? Because far too many times in summer, too many places serve watered-down or over iced tea. Not at Butterfield's. Did I mention the Veggie Straws? You must try them. We are pet lovers and were hapy that there was a friendly Labradoodle on the deck with her attending humans. The food, drinks, service, and prices were all very good. I recommend Butterfield's to passers by, summer folks, and even to those who enjoy a road-trip for a meal like we do.

So glad I got off the highway when I did. This will definitely make it into the roadtrip rotation…read more I drive this way quite often. Nice quant decor. Staff very nice without being annoying. Came around at the perfect pace to make sure we were good but not overly intrusive. Menu is small which is great, has the basics you need for a lovely breakfast. Food came out quickly and was cooked just right. Very clean tasting. My eggs were perfect consistency and while the omelet resembled more of a crepe than an omelet it was still delicious.
