Detour Coffee

Went for a iced mocha, i got ice and milk, very bad had to throw it, can I get a refund?

To be clear, the milk was not bad, the recipe was bad, no coffee or chocolate could be tasted

Really enjoyed our first time there! Very chill vibe and good seating. I'd like to see them use something heftier on the Norwegian than a croissant, as it got very soggy. The flavors we're great though! Also, didn't notice any self-service water station. The macchiato I had was spot on and full bodied.

Went there about a week ago around 8 am. When I walked in I immediately noticed the pleasant ambience and decor. I began to get my hopes up about this place but was soon disappointed with the barista. While I selected my choice of coffee, he mentioned that he’ll take my order and then he’d “go get something from his vehicle” which was odd for conversation, or perhaps it was intended to rush me. When he returned, I noticed his mask was off while behind the counter. I looked towards the kitchen and noticed the female staff was also not wearing a mask. Later, I went to the restroom, and it was not in adequate clean conditions. The baked goods display also did not look appealing as the glass was covered in frost.

I still think the aesthetics of this coffee shop are very unique and pleasing. I just thought it was a shame that a coffee shop this nice could not provide a great experience.

Very busy brunch spot with tasty food and a great atmosphere!

Nice little coffee spot with a diverse menu. While driving and we found there are only about five spots for parking but if you go across the street from the gas station there is a 4-hour paid parking lot that usually always has spaces.

Coffee was fantastic and they do offer free refills on drip coffee. There's a weekend brunch menu that has some good diversity ranging from chicken waffles to avocado toast but they also serve there normal breakfast menu as well.

Ample space for getting work done and Wi-Fi was of great quality. A little pricey but I guess that's to be expected. Counter service only.

One of the best breakfast burritos I have had in a long time. It was perfectly seasoned. The barista also introduced me to the siphon method of brewing which is quite a neat process to watch and the coffee was delicious.

Disclaimer: I did not go here for coffee. I went here for a breakfast sandwich at 10:30am on a Saturday. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. I expected the order to take a few minutes however it took 25 minutes to receive my sandwich. Once I finally got my sandwich, it was decent. I wish the bagel was toasted more or had less butter because the bread was floppy.

Great atmosphere and lots of character, but the coffee was not to my standards. I had Thor house brew, which was bitter and might have been old. My friend had a decaf flat white and she was not impressed. It’s too bad, because the staff are so friendly and the setting is awesome.

The "magician" breakfast sandwich was delicious. I also enjoyed the decoration and music.

I’ve never left a review, but I like this coffee shop so much and so want it to stay in business that I’m willing to do free marketing for them. Where should I begin? Good coffee, great food, friendly staff, and above all, terrific environment for getting some work done or relaxing with friends. I can never give enough compliments to the ambience of this place - it’s bright, spacious, and comfy; has good vibe and good WiFi; not too loud, not too crowded, and not too cold (like all other places where I need to wrap myself in a blanket). I can stay here forever and get so much work done, which doesn’t happen with most other coffee shops. I have been coming here five days a week and will continue to do so for as long as the status quo remains. Arlington desperately needs a place like this!
