The Owego Kitchen

I visited here with a friend who suggested the place as a local favorite of hers. She described the food as freshly made and much of it locally sourced. I had a blueberry muffin while there, and took a cup of light roast coffee and a coffee crumble cake of absolute delight home. The muffin was soft and just the right amount of spongey, not heavy, and definitely had real blueberries. The coffee was just a normal light/breakfast roast with half and half they have non-dairy creamer options, though. I saw almond milk, I think. I am honestly not sure if they had any fancy coffee drinks but I also did not even look at the menu...glass case containing fresh goodies was pretty overwhelming but neatly displayed and had my attention from the start. I ate the coffee cake or apple crumble or whatever I got later and it was amazing. Crumbly on top, cake underneath, not too sweet. Could have been a breakfast or dessert. The service was great; the girls at the front taking orders were kind and efficient, and one came by my table once while we were eating to see if she could clear anything or bring us anything else. The space is cozy but has a good amount of seating and there are a couple small cafe tables outdoors. It was a great little stop for a visitor!

Delicious sandwiches and soups and a great place to stop for a quick lunch. The tuna salad is fantastic and the area is super cute and charming. Also loved the bathroom art.Food: 5/5

I love this place. They are not open for dinner, so sometimes I plan ahead and pick up food to go. The maple melt is one of my favorite breakfast sandwiches ever. The baked goods, such as muffins and cookies, are delicious. I've also had their yogurt parfaits and overnight oats, which are amazing but they don't always have them. The staff and owner are courteous and efficient. They're always posting specials online that look amazing. They also carry a nice variety of beverages. My friends and family love their iced coffees I don't drink coffee. For vegans, the hummus wrap is really good.

Fast service whether ordering in or ahead. Great breakfast sandwiches, personal favorite is the Italian. Love the coffee. Staff is always very friendly.Food: 5/5

Outstanding lunch experience. The sandwiches and chips were delicious. I had the horseradish roast beef. The 4 of us eating agreed it was a 5 star experience. Fast service, great food, and delightful atmosphere. I have eaten breakfast there and thought it was a limited set of choices. However, our lunch experience was superb and exceeded expectations. You cannot go wrong eating at the Owego Kitchen.

Great service from friendly staff. You put your order in at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. Great variety of drip coffee courtesy of Finger Lakes Coffee Roaster. This is such a cute cafe, nicely designed. I love the unique artwork. The sweets case is full and tempting, beware

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!!

The restaurant was busy but staff were calm cool and collected! The line moved quickly and my partner and I shared a fabulous lunch of sandwiches and sides, plus a macaroon for dessert. Thank you for a nice meal!

I love this place!! Just so welcoming!! Friendly staff and very very helpful!! The food was fresh and tasted so delicious!! The bagels tasted so fresh and just sooooooo good!!
