Close the base of a spectacular waterfall is this amazing coffee shop. I could smell the Java before we even got close to the door. Nice inside the waft of coffee beans and baked goods tantalizes your nose. It was love at first sniff. We met the owners who were so sweet & kind, along with their little Bub who had just turned one. Cutie patooty. This place is decorated so well. It literally felt like we were sitting having coffee with friends. Great taste on the tongue and the eyes. We both decided on iced cold brew. They have a variety of scones and bagels. I chose the fig, goat cheese and rosemary scone and my love chose the everything bagel with hummus. I am a scone snob and I will tell you that scone was buttery, savory and scrumptious. The sweetness of the fig & tang of goat cheese married together with the herbal essence of rosemary was absolute perfection. Bravo.....I am truly a fan. I did have a small bite of the bagel and it was tender and flavorful. There wasn't even a crumb on either plate. Thank you for having us ya'll. This Kentucky girl will definitely be back!

They had some specials that sounded tasty but we decided to make our own drinks, as they had some syrup flavors I've really never seen before! My husband went for his usual honey lavender latte and really enjoyed it. I did an iced latte with PH Delight (honey, cinnamon, vanilla) and Mexican chili for an added bit of spice and it was fantastic! The flavors paired really well...I wish this was a combination I could get more places. The baristas were intrigued by my choice too and said they want to try it now and might make it a future special! Their logo is cute too...I regret not getting some of their merch. Definitely a favorite coffee stop on our Finger Lakes excursion. Thank you so much, Overlook Coffee Company!

They have impressive perfect reviews on both Google and Yelp, and are well deserved. There's plenty of parking, and they have a small waterfall out in the back of the property where you can enjoy your drink. Service was quick and friendly, and they even let us try out a new mocha-cino drink they were testing out and training on. They also have a small selection of pastries on offer. We got a standard brewed coffee and iced mocha (half sweet). Both were excellent with no hints of bitterness. The iced mocha was one of the best I've ever had. The mocha-cino drink (cappuccino with a bit of mocha syrup) we got to try out was good too. They use farm fresh milk from Hoffman's Sunset View Creamery in their drink preparations. All in all, it was the perfect coffee shop experience with the added bonus of a waterfall out back, so I recommend a visit to Overlook Coffee should you find yourself in the Watkins Glen area. It's only minutes away from Hector Falls which is also worth a visit.

We went on a Monday, so it was completely empty, which only made it feel more like a secret hideaway for people who appreciate a little offbeat charm.

Absolutely -- preferably on a night where there's more life, and maybe I'll finally try the kava :)

I came here looking for tea, ended up learning about and trying kava!…read more If you haven't had kava before, it's a root that's powdered up and served as a drink. It has calming properties that help people be more social similar to alcohol but without the negative effects. It does taste pretty bitter and it has a numbing sensation (similar to sichuan peppercorns) so their flavored options are recommended for first-timers. The apple cider version was pretty good. I did feel the effect, but did I love it? Honestly, not sure. It felt a bit weird. But even if I decide not to try kava again, their tea was also really good and the owner is a super nice and interesting guy. People who come here are looking for something different, so give it a shot! The inside definitely looks like it used to be an elk's lounge or something. But overall, it's a chill and relaxed space with good vibes.
