Listen they sell french toast stuffed with strawberry cream if that doesnt sum it up and/or make you want to go nothing will
Since moving in not long ago, this cafe has been our favorite place to eat. Absolutely amazing food, friendly staff and kind customers. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a simple breakfast or to try something new and different.
Amazing food at amazing prices. Staff was kind and quick. They even held space for my dog and gave him water. Good people!
Small diner in a little plaza that has been a couple of thing over the years, but has been fully remodeled and has a nice cozy feel to it. Like most diners, there is not a ton of space, but everyone is always friendly and the counter helps with seating. Even when its packed, the cook is fast and I never feel like I have to wait long.Breakfast or lunch, all is fantastic! Nice couple running it and all homemade comfort food. My favorite is the 3 egg omelet that you can add any three, of which I add Feta, spinach and tomato. All very fresh and done perfectly every time. Omelet is cooked thin but folder high with the extra melted in and is very filling. The home-fries are a hidden gem on their own. Cooked on the grill with great seasoning, theyre finished in the fryer for a crispness that just sets them above all other breakfast potatoes.They often have homemade cupcakes and other baked goods for a nice desert. Lots of fantastic ever changing specials too (often a great Mac and cheese) that make you want to keep coming back.
I actually love this place. I can only stop in once in awhile but the owner remembered me and details about our conversations from months ago. I also love their gluten free options. They make gluten free buns in store and they didnt charge extra for gluten free. They have so many sandwiches and burgers and they had a white sauce pizza gluten free. One or my only 5 star reviews and its 100% worth checking out.
Hidden behind a deceptive package (being located at the end of a small, has seen better days, strip mall on the outskirts of the small town of Owego), the food at this breakfast/lunch focused cafe is delicious. The chef flavors the menu selections really nicely - and each time weve dined here, weve been treated to at least a few off-beat, interesting food options. Recently, we had Fall Flavored waffles which were delightful. Creative hash options were also available - and delicious. Homemade sausage is on the menu. Heck - even my basic egg & cheese sandwich was really good (the hard roll was fresh and the eggs were perfectly cooked and flavored). If its busy - and it can be - service can be a bit slow. Up to this point, this is mostly a family affair. Dad cooks the food, mom waits the tables, and kids can be spotted playing in the back. Everyone is friendly and truly cares that you enjoy your meal. Gem of a place - the only drawback being the location/interior/parking lot. Food and friendly service more than makes up for that though!
Amazing little diner. First off, the owners are very gregarious and friendly. The atmosphere is delightful. The food is outstanding. I love how the chef switches up the breakfast menu items weekly. Encourages you to try new and delicious items. I cant say enough about the food. It is never a disappointment. Id recommend this diner one hundred times over.
I have finally found somewhere to eat in New York that is actually good. If you are into California burgers get the one they have here....and the lobster mac and cheese is also fantastic.
Food was burnt to perfection and salted beautifully. Staff is friendly, prices are excellent. The only thing: its only one guy cooking and cleaning everything so it takes a little bit to get your food. We all loved it.10/10 would recommend.
Me and my husband decided to try this cafe for our first time. It was excellent. I had a fajita wrap it was delicious also tbe sour cream that came with it was amazing so amazing I had to ask for more to take home with the half of my wrap. The portions are great. Tbe prices great the staff is wonderful they all are so friendly.
Fantastic food, I have never been disappointed. It has a small-town diner feel, and small-town diner prices, but the food is world-class. Todays special was an 8oz burger with pesto mayo, and a sweet maple-bacon-onion relish. Really, REALLY cant get over how good it was.
As always good food but we missed the other waitress the new one was very pushy wanting us to leave trying to take plates before we were finished.
Wow! This place blew my socks off. There food was so delicious and options were creative. The space was clean and smelled great. The service was friendly and fast. Worth the stop. You’ll enjoy every bite.
If you are looking for a great breakfast, then this is the place for you. Just when you think that there cant possibly be another way to create an omelet, Aaron comes up with another special omelet; a new special each week. Couple that with his special hash and you leave wanting to come back for more. Great tasting food, plenty of it and for a good price. What more could you want?
We love this place. The people who own it are amazing. Discovering what the surprise culinary state of the art special is on a particular day is something we look forward to every time my husband and I eat here. The chef is creative and a rare talent in this neck of the woods (i.e upstate new york).
Excellent diner. Unique menu items, very creative and tasty! Mac and cheese special was Philly cheese steak, super delicious. Sweet potato hash is a meal. Cant wait to go back.
I love this little diner. The atmosphere is fun and family-like. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel welcome. The food is beyond delicious and affordable. 11/10 would recommend and go again.
Was working with Tops Market Reset Crew and we visited for breakfast. Food excellent , good size portions and pricing very reasonable.The owners (Wife & Husband) very accommodating and friendly.Great menu.When we revisit area we will definitely be dining there again. Thanks for the great experience!!!!.Lenny
Food is fantastic. Every meal weve had has been tasty. Love supporting a local family business. A true mom and pop with an upscale twist.
Sugar maple Cafe is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is delicious and Aaron and Jenna are super nice.
Love this little dinner right by the river. The food is delicious and service is fast and friendly!!!
Great little place! LOVE the ambiance
My girlfriend and I are from Ohio and went to Owego for sight seeing, hiking, and antiquin . My girlfriend found a recommendation for the Cafe so we went. The service was extraordinary and the food just as spectacular. We went back to Owego to pick up one of our antique purchases and decided we had to return to Sugar Maple. This time we were waited on by Jenna (one of the owners) and the chef was Aaron(her husband and other owner) Both were extremely nice and treated us just as they did the regulars who were there eating. If you are anywhere in that part of New York DEFINITELY go to The Sugar Maple Cafe!!
Aron makes the best food for a diner in Owego, go support him!!!! Best breakfast in Owego without a thought. Stuffed french toast with strawberry cream cheese filling 😍😍. Also a great french toast breakfast sandwich that will knock your socks off. All around great diner!!
I went with my girlfriend to the sugar maple cafe on a whim after church this Sunday. I had seen the cafe in passing many times before and thought it was a candy store. When we went in we were plesently surprised. The decor was quaint with a hand painted maple tree on one wall and the wall behind the counter was covered in chalkboard with coffee and drink flavors. The counter had bar seating and fresh cranberry walnut and mixed berry muffins.We were seated and waited on by the owner herself and she was more than pleased to list the breakfast and lunch specials and the ingredients used to make them. They have a breakfast and lunch menu, daily soup, smoothies, flavored iced tea, lemonade, and bakery goods! The coffee flavors are many and have sugar free options. They even sell gluten free food, and make gluten free rolls, and bread. Prices are very reasonable as well, about what youd spend at any diner. We ordered a chicken bacon ranch pizza on coliflower crust and a specialty hash with ingredients from mexico that was amazing. I would recommend this cafe to all my friends and family. This might be my new favorite local spot to eat.
My friend and I went there for lunch and the owner was very pleasant and they have so many unique things on the menu that all looked good.The sandwich was very tasty and the Rasberry cheesecake was extremely delicious .I will definitely be back again
The BEST food!! The BEST customer service!! We always leave not only with full bellies but feeling blessed!!! Thank you for continuing to be AWESOMESAUCE!!!!!!!Ed & Frances

This cafe is amazing! It had wonderful service, great music, and even better food.
$2.00 for a cup of instant hot chocolate that had no taste. Made with water, no marshmallows or whipped cream. A bit overpriced, folks!!! Food was ok
Food was great, homemade pies to boot. Food was a good price. Wholeheartedly recommend it.
Sugar Maple is Very Good and Undiscovered. The Staff is Good and They have interesting Specials. Definitely worth a try.
Good soup and Reubens. Fries were good, too.

2021-12-28A must have here is the pork sausage! Absolutely outstandingly delicious. Homemade and fresh. The side of potatoes were just as delicious. My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our dishes and I cannot wait to bring back my family. If you want a local home cooked meal this is a must stop. Their bakery treats are just as delicious! Most are made in house. The owners are wonderful people who are also welcoming and kind hearted, this made us feel right at home. Which made the whole experience even better.

2022-04-20I couldnt believe my eyes when I finally discovered this place. Luckily, a local recommended them to me. The food quality and variety offered here amazed me. There are specials every day that you would expect to see in some fancy place in the city. The prices are very reasonable. It is a family run business, so you might have to be patient if theyre busy. The husband and wife team are very patient and courteous. Try the homemade hash and also the sausages! The baked goods are also so fresh and tasty, so I try to take one to go.

2022-02-20Absolutely amazing. The house made sausages and hash are a must! The huevos rancheros with chorizo sausage was killer! Veggie hash was excellent. Service was very friendly, and quality. An absolute must if you are in the area looking for food. Definitely will be returning on our way to and from the Finger Lakes!

2019-03-13The epitome of the small town diner, Sugar Maple Cafe offered me what I craved. I am content with a drink refill whenever I drop too low, some smiling from my wait staff, and prompt food that tastes acceptable.This is more.Though I came at a time when many of the tables in the tiny shop were full, I was given constant refills as the waitress was very attentive though busy.The food itself was excellent. I had the special with braised beef and pea Mashed potatoes and it was fabulous. They have flavorings with their coffees, lemonade, ect and a hazelnut coffee hit the spot on a cold morning.The chef recognized my lunch mate who had come in once before and remembered her dietary restrictions (gluten) and came out to check that the gravy-covered dish I ordered was not intended for her.I dont know if that level of attention is normal for this place. I could have caught them on a good day but the way the customers reacted to the small staff and the atmosphere of this tiny spot on a strip mall made the casual conversation exchanged mean more somehow.If it makes sense, I really felt the home town atmosphere here and could picture myself as the regular I watched who was greeted by name and given a cup of flavored coffee just as I like.

2019-08-23This family operated diner is amazing!! Everything is homemade! We had chicken ceaser wraps, one with fresh cut french fries and the other with baked beans with the most amazing flavor. The owners set up an area outside so you can have lunch with your pet. That was great since we are traveling with our buddy (Waffles). Their daughter( maybe 6 or 7) is an awesome little hostess. She checked on us more than once and was a great conversationalist. We left with Strawberry Rhubarb pie , Chocolate chip cheesecake and some danishes for breakfast!! We have an oil change scheduled tomorrow in that plaza. We will have lunch here tomorrow. Cant wait to try something new!!!

2021-06-25This is such a great small-town cafe! Family-run with delicious food and friendly staff. They offer new twists on classic dishes, so the specials are always something to look out for. I love their homemade maple pork sausage! And when I visit for breakfast, I HAVE to get one of the 3-egg, 3-meat (and cheese) omelets, which offers a hefty portion for a fair price. I am gluten free with Celiacs Disease, and they have no trouble explaining the menu and making accommodations. If I take my family out to food, this is where we go!
