This is my favorite spot for lunch in Owego. My go-to sandwich is the Not Your Mom's Tuna Salad, which has a nice tangy kick that sets it apart from the usual, but everything on the menu is great. They have a rotating selection of indulgent desserts, and the house coffees and iced teas are nice.

Glad I googled food places in Owego. Unusual choices. 2 for menu. Got a half BLT with awesome bacon and tarragon mayo and a cup of hungarian mushroom soup. Wonderful! Can't wait to sample more things.

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.

Pretty busy for around 11am on a Friday. I order takeout. Ask the the cashier what she thought was the best, she led me to the Breakfast Burrito ( One of the best I've had hands down). Also order there Brisket Breakfast Sandwich Special and the Orange/Berry muffin. Everything was really good. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Stopped in for a quick bite while driving. They had gluten free options and vegetarian options as well. The roast beef horseradish sandwich was great, and there is a good selection of desserts! The mixed berry pie was delicious! Nice salad with fresh ingredients. Free street parking but it does fill up.

This is such a great place to come and grab a bite to eat while strolling around Owego. I really like their soup and sandwich combination. Last time I was here I got the chili with ham and brie sandwich... It was marvelous.

The Owego Kitchen offers delicious food with a creative twist—definitely a step above your typical tuna sandwich! I especially love their rotating specials and baked treats, including scones, muffins, and pastries. It’s also a great go-to for carry-out, with plenty of options like soups, entrées, slices of cake, yogurt parfaits, and more. The service is consistently quick and friendly. Highly recommend!

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. If you don't want your bagel toasted or your bread toasted on a cold sandwich, you need to request it (the menu does not describe these items as toasted).
