The definition of a local eatery in Central NY, Carol’s Coffee and Art Bar on 177 Front Street in Owego oozes charm and friendliness while serving up tasty handmade menu items. The everything bagel was a breath of fresh air compared to factory made bagels especially in taste and texture. The coffee and tea were also excellent as was the entire friendly service team. And of course you’ll be inspired and maybe even “surprised” at the high level of art being exhibited mostly by Carol herself! Bravo! #supportlocal

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!

Very colorful place, full of Carol’s paintings on the wall, complete with handmade mugs and soaps and vegan chapsticks etc for sale and a spot for live music. The bagels were homemade and awesome!! Great garlic chive cream cheese too. Cappuccinos were okay; coconut dream bar was drier and not as chewy as I’d have liked but it was tasty. Overall great atmosphere and service, plenty of options for food and baked goods, and plenty to look at.

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.

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.

I guess atmosphere was the only thing that I truly enjoyed. The food was just average, but clutter at the kitchen part concerned me a little bit.

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.

Needed somewhere to eat lunch and study. I was a bit concerned walking in due to the live music, but I’m glad I stayed. The staff were very welcoming and my service was great. The food was fast and yummy. My bread was slightly stale, but the taste of the sandwich made up for it. I think turning the volume of the speakers down slightly would help since the restaurant isn’t very big. But overall the vibes were immaculate and the food was delicious. Highly recommend checking it out.

The tea is delicious, the live music is wonderful (the perfect level to add to the atmosphere without being overpowering), and the paintings are beautiful. Carol is such a dear and I would highly recommend stopping in!
