We were passing through so we decided to give this place a try based on the reviews. It was busy when we arrived but we were able to grab a table right away. The decor was rustic. We ordered and paid at the counter and they brought the food to our table. We ordered three pick-two combo. The sandwiches were average. The chili had way too much chili powder as that's all i could taste. No one finished their chili because of it. The Italian chicken trio soup was too acidy. The corn muffins were cold. I think they would taste better if served hot. read more

very helpful staff with my wife's soy allergy nice inside deco food was great, I would repeate read more

We stopped here for a morning coffee and a sandwich on a road-trip. All were excellent. The place has an interesting clean interior and a nice atmosphere, and it's located on a short side street in a charming town overlooking a river. It would be a good spot to write your first or next novel. There were a few quiet individual in there who looked like regulars, one of them was working with a laptop and may have been doing just that. Employees looked like good people. read more

The wait, if necessary, is well worth it. Pleasant and helpful staff. Delicious food and sufficient servings.

Owego Kitchen makes a delicious breakfast sandwich! I always get the ham and cheese breakfast panini (comes with egg on it too). Staff are always friendly and its a very chill atmosphere. read more

The food was excellent and taste really good. Very nice experience. If you are in the area must go.

Yum! We came to the area for a fall getaway and this had popped up on my wife's Facebook page. A quick look on Yelp and we had our lunch spot picked for us. We had the Gobbler sandwich, breakfast sandwich and roast beef. Turkey and stuffing soup and a cup of the tomato rounded it all out. Delicious food and great service. We were asked a number of times if we were enjoying our meal. Would definitely return and recommend! read more

Nondescript from the street, but wow, what a gem! Food was fantastic and atmosphere was cool and welcoming. Highly recommend

Good sandwiches. The black and tan brownie was the best. It had a surprise of coconut inside.

I never knew this place existed! Went there for a quick lunch after a hike in Ithaca and it def hit the spot. The French onion grilled cheese was really good. So was the breakfast burrito. Brought home some macarons for our kids too. I would definitely go back. read more

Soooooo good. Helpful staff, nice environment. This was a lunch stop during a road trip. We had a tart, sandwiches, coffee and the recommended soup of the day. All were delicious. read more

My husband and I frequently stop here on our way to Ithaca, NY. They're one of the only businesses (it seems) that are consistently open in that area of Owego. We have never had a bad experience here. The sandwiches are always fresh and flavorful with many sides options and plenty of food. The service is quick and friendly and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. read more

Love this place! And we're just passing through. The staff is so friendly and I would definitely stop by again. Thanks for having us. Minis of New Jersey motoring club heading home! read more

Clearly everything on the menu is made with the freshest ingredients and very tasty, but the soup is exceptional! They are offering different new soups every time I come here, many vegetarian options all homemade and very fresh. I make a special trip for the soup! Well Done, and very appreciated! I also love the ambiance, it's very clean, and the staff is excellent, polite, accommodating! read more

Stopped in for lunch on a recent Sunday, based largely on reviews from Yelp. We had just finished a couple of hours of "antiquing" at the local emporium and wanted a bite before we left town. The Owego Kitchen did not disappoint. Friendly and attentive staff from start to finish. We placed our orders at the counter and sat at one of several tables available. Our food was brought out within minutes and it was delicious. The special Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Panini, Homemade cinnamon roll and the Maple Egg Melt were happily consumed by all. Covid protocols were observed by staff and customers during our visit. Happy that we found this gem and will be excited to stop back in the next time we are in Owego! read more

They only cook their eggs one way? How can you not cook to order when you have an open menu? Thought that was strange. Didn't decide to eat here because of that read more

Service was very good. Friendly staff. The food was delicious. The ambiance was very relaxing.

This is my favourite lunch spot in Owego! My go-to sandwich is the Not Your Mom's Tuna Salad, which has a tangy bite that sets it apart from the usual tuna salad, but everything I've tried has been good. The desserts are amazing - they have a rotating selection of which I've tried dulce de leche cheesecake, a peanut butter brownie, and an apple cinnamon crumb cake. They also have a selection of iced coffee and sometimes tea. Normally I prefer tea to coffee but on my latest visit they didn't have any teas available so I tried the salted caramel iced coffee and was impressed with the clean, smooth flavour. Right now they have limited indoor seating and a covered area out back with a few tables for eating outside. read more

Such a cute little cafe, they were so nice and hospitable for a first timer who was definitely confused and needed coffee desperately. We were on our way to go on a hike and wanted to have some sandwiches in our pack for when we got to the end. I'm definitely going to be a regular going forward read more

Been here twice. Breakfast sandwiches are great and they have a bunch of fresh coffees to try. Staff is friendly and polite. Restaurant is cozy and clean. I'll probably start going here every Saturday! read more

I've driven by this town so many times and finally decided to stop and walk around. Found this place and it seemed surprisingly hipster given the area. They had kombucha on tap to fill growlers. And a nice assortment of cold brew coffees and iced teas available. I decided to try the "Italian Egg Sandwich" ($5.79), which was interesting and tasted like a Chicago hot Italian beef sandwich, except the beef was actually bacon. I guess it's the hot pepper relish that was giving it that flavor. It had potential, although there was an aftertaste I just couldn't get away from. Every bite had this subtle sourness, almost like something was rancid. There was never a bite that didn't have it. I tried the relish itself and it wasn't that. It might have been the ciabatta being a bit stale. It might have been the griddle they use having burned a bit of bacon fat and resulting in everything cooked on it having the taste of rancid oil on it. I'm not sure, but it really ruined the sandwich. I also had an apple pastry that was pretty good. The apple filling tasted great and had a nice cinnamon flavor to it that was tastefully done. The crust could have been a bit more crispy. The best thing I had here was the "Jamaican Me Crazy" iced coffee from the self-serve coffee area. I assume it was cold brew, since the flavor was so clean. They were able to bring out all the great flavors of the coffee without any of the acidity. I would definitely try this place again next time I'm driving through and hope the strange aftertaste of that breakfast sandwich was a one-time thing. read more

Very disappointed with the lack of knowledge and unwillingness of staff to accommodate a dairy allergy on Friday, June 23rd. Our son has anaphylaxis reactions to dairy and nuts. Prior to visiting this establishment, I called and inquired about their ability to accommodate our son's allergies for breakfast. The representative I spoke with reassured us they could accommodate us. While he was unsure about the bagel ingredients, he was confident the gluten-free rolls were also dairy free. When we arrived, we again informed the staff of our son's allergies and were told he could order an egg and bacon sandwich on a roll. We placed our orders for 4 people and while waiting at the counter, the manager/cook mentioned to my husband that he could not guarantee a dairy-free meal for our son. He continued to say that while he cooks with oil, he had been using butter on the griddle all morning. We asked if he could wipe the area of the griddle down before cooking our son's eggs and was told he would not as he was "cooking for everyone." Our meals and drinks were already paid for so we had to decide between making our son watch us all eat before we could find a place for him to eat separately or request a refund since they refused to accommodate all of us and eat elsewhere. The most frustrating and disappointing aspects of our experience with Owego Kitchen were: (1) We called ahead, informed them our of special needs for allergies and were assured they could accommodate us. (2) When we arrived, we again confirmed they had at least one dairy and nut free breakfast option. (3) Family living in the Owego area had raved about this establishment and assured us they were very customer-service driven and accommodating and would make sure our son's meal was safe for him. (4) The cook/manager was very dismissive towards us and treated us as if we were an inconvenience for him which only made my son feel like it was his fault we had to leave (something we work very hard to avoid, which is why we call ahead!). (5) We had to call family and let them know they would need to meet us elsewhere for breakfast as our son would not be able to eat at the Owego Kitchen. We ended up requesting and receiving a full refund. We met our family at River Rock Diner in Owego. We HIGHLY recommend RIVER ROCK DINER if you have someone with food allergies. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and their food was delicious!! read more

If you are in Owego and looking for a breakfast/ lunch/ nosh -STOP HERE! I have breakfasted and lunched and am always impressed. Loved the Farmers Breakfast Sandwich with bacon at just the right crisp level to fill me with joy and fresh roasted tomato "relish"(?). Coffee is great and love being handed a real cup that I can mix and match with. Negatives that hold back that 5th star? A) Table syrup - even when maple flavored is not "maple syrup" by any standard and certainly not in upstate NY so that sammie is a hard pass; B) coffee is from a pump - no fancy latte for those who crave a morning froth; and C) appropriate hipster decor but too darned loud to meet my morning zen. Go. Go often. Go again. But get your latte, syrup and quiet at another stop. it. read more

Food was delicious. Quinoa salad was amazing. Fast service. Iced coffees are amazing too.

Friendly people. We were immediately greeted by this man and had a nice little convo about Ithaca and some sights around the area. Food is great! The Italian egg breakfast sandwich is filling without it being too heavy. Highly recommend! read more

My gawd. I couldn't even begin to recommend something because everything is so good. I mean like A+, number one.

Highly recommended! Upon arriving we walked in the door and were greeted by the owner who took the time and explained a few items that were going to be specials that day. We had an amazing Sunday breakfast of waffles and cowboy breakfast sandwich. The food was hot and so was the coffee. The tables were clean, the coffee bar was self serve and was also clean. Would we go back again hell yes. *Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters coffee is served is many different flavors. Hot and iced. read more

I was an out-of-town guest that went here on the insistence of a local and I loved it! The desserts are killer and my soup/sandwich were yummy. I especially liked the friendly staff and warm environment that made me feel like everyone would be welcome there. read more

Great stop for lunch. We split CBR sandwich with cup of chili and cheeseburger chowder. It was all wonderful. Great community atmosphere.

Simply the best. I travel for work and I've never seen a Restaurant with 97 reviews and 5 stars! Well deserved. read more

Great food and great service!! I have never had a bad experience!! They seem to care about their customers and their employees!!

Went here for breakfast 3 days in a row it was so good! The cutest little place and the food is to die for. They have seating open during covid which is nice. Local coffee shop feel with yummy food. read more

Wow! Again wow! This place's food was delicious! We had the French onion grilled cheese, chicken salad wrap, and a tuna melt. We cleaned our plates! The macaroni salad is a little sweet but a lot of people enjoy it like that. We also ordered the Apple Carmel crumb cake. If I lived in Owego, I would be in trouble with this place. I would need to try everything on their menu. The decor is beautiful and I may copy some for my kitchen. read more

This spot has a variety of options in sandwiches and finger lakes ground coffee. We were very warmly welcomed by the staff and the owner. The owner spent time chatting with us, asking about our food and also and gave us a free dessert each for our way back. It was one of the most hospitable restaurant experiences we have had. Also the portobello mushroom sandwich was amazing! read more

The inside is adorable and outdoor seating also available. The reading glasses at the front for those who need them are so cute. Is a bit pricey. read more

Super delicious filling lunch spot with ample amount of options! We were passing through and noticed all the positive reviews. Loved the fact that you could order ahead via their website. Our food was ready on the counter for us upon entering. I got the ham and Brie sandwich and it was amazing. The ham was thick and definitely didn't skimp on their meat portions. Had the perfect amount of Bree cheese and i loved that they put the honey mustard dressing on the side it made it much easier to eat when traveling and it was so sweet for honey mustard ! I could only eat a little more than half because the serving size was so much. If what you order comes with a side option opt for their pasta salad it was delicious! My husband got the tuna sandwich that again was large and he ate a little more than half it was served on ciabatta bread and delicious just huge serving! I do wish they offered kids meals my 5 year old didn't want a large sandwich like we had and they didn't have kids meals so we just opted in for a bagel with cream cheese since they served their breakfast all day. read more

Excellent sandwiches, staff was very welcoming and clearly well trained. Will be back next time I am in town for business.

Great sandwiches. Worst complaint is that there isn't enough seating. They have a display in the center of the dining area that could be removed to make room for more tables. If you show up hoping to find a place to sit and eat, you could be out of luck and end up eating in your car. But the food is worth the visit. The sandwiches and salads are beautifully home made. read more

Very good food...a bit slow but worth it. You can find traditional sandwich fare as well as unique and tasteful combinations. The soups are scrumptious and warming. A great addition to the village's small town ambiance. read more
