Reviews For Carol's Coffee And Art Bar

My husband and I stopped into Carol’s as we were leaving Ithaca and we’re so glad we did! The cafe atmosphere is right out of a movie - warm, cozy, twinkling lights, tall windows, plants, art, live folk music in the background that’s just the right volume, handmade ceramics for sale, delicious lattes and sandwiches, and more decadent baked goods than you could choose from. The staff was so kind and you can tell they pour their heart into each plate and cup they prepare. We live nearly 2 hours away in PA, but are already planning to come back for Owego for this sweet cafe alone.

Love stopping here when we visit our friends in Owego. A very laid back, relaxing coffee shop. Everytime I’ve stopped in, there has been an acoustic singer. The main reason I always make it priority to stop by is the food! Everything is seriously so delicious, definitely home made. The ham and Swiss quiche is top notch. I also get a turkey sandwich, not sure how they do it, but the turkey is perfectly moist every time! Highly recommend stopping by and support a good quality business with the nicest staff.

A delightful and personable experience as always. The sandwich and cappuccino were just what I needed in this wonderful eclectic art/cafe setting. A wonderful and restful lunch. I come here whenever I travel to Owego to visit family. In part because of the food and environment and in large part because of the personable and wonderful human that is the owner Carol and her staff. A recent traveler left a scathing review. Be assured in 10 years of coming here I have never experienced anything close to this. I also know what I’m expecting coming into a deeply local combined arts and artist cafe.

What an excellent spot! Fun, eclectic, homey cafe vibes with very friendly and caring staff. Delicious food made from scratch, a stable menu along with rotating soup, quiche, tea. So many baked good! Gorgeous hand painted artwork for sale all over the walls. Bonus - midday singer guitar player with an excellent voice. Don't second guess stopping into Carol's!

Carols coffee and Art bar, a quaint coffee shop in Owego New York with art for sale and more coffee flavors that I’ve ever seen in my life! we had homemade cranberry orange bagels with bacon, egg and cheddar cheese sandwich. It was amazing!

Carol is delightful! She immediately greeted me what a smile & shared all her Gluten Free specialties. My Dad had the Bacon quiche with coffee & I had the vegetable quiche with a hot apple spiced cider with a cinnamon stick. I hadn’t had a hot cider in years so this was such a treat! I also got a peppermint mocha on the way out with a couple slices of coconut cake. My sister recommended this place & especially the GF coconut cake. I had a bite of the coconut cake & it brought me back to my childhood when this was one of my favorite desserts! I highly recommend you stop in to see Carol & the wall of all her & her daughter’s art! It’s a homey feel with lots of love!

Carol is a lovely and welcoming proprietor who serves good coffee (which she offered to warm up when she noticed I was down half a cup) and probably the best quiche I’ve ever eaten. Comfy lovely spot that features local art and Carol’s paintings—well worth seeing, too.
