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.

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

I have decided to edit my post…read more Long story short, my fiancé and I originally had a bad experience at this little art store . We were both a bit upset, and i had previously left a no recommendation score . I was convinced that the matter was over, and there my negative review sat. However as it would turn out, within hours not days the owner of the gallery actually reached out to me. I was shocked, I didn't think that there was still this attention to detail in these days of amazon and mega corporations. It was really special that the owner was very empathic and listened to our experience . As a result I have chosen to redact my previous review , as my faith has been restored in this small business. Next time we are traveling up in Owego we will defiantly have to stop by and say thanks!

What a wonderful winery! My friends and I visited this winery on a Sunday. We were warmly welcomed…read moreby a young lady behind the bar, who's name I didn't get and a gentleman named Rick. The winery offered a nice variety of dry, sweet, and sparkling wines. They also had a couple of specialty cocktails on offer that day. We tried many of the wines and both of the cocktails which were all amazing. They made a blueberry mule that I think was probably the best Moscow mule I have ever had. They also offer charcuterie boards and a butter board. The butter board wasn't being offered that day but we had seen it online and we were excited about it. Rick was nice enough to make us one anyway. We were treated so well that day. The food was stupendous. The winery and the grounds are beautiful and serene. We cannot wait to return to Glen Park!

The staff is very nice and welcoming. We did a wine tasting for $5. You get 5 tasting. I did not like the wines very much, just not to my taste. They were acidic and dry (That's why I took off one star). But the taste may be good for others. The place is perfect for parties and showers.
