Detour Coffee

Not consistent coffee at all!

Update:

Guys! I’m coming baaack! New professional baristas are here now.

Very nice! Good happy hour, interesting beers and wine. Cool outside seating!!

Needed more servers and skip the breakfast pizza!

My wife and I swung by for breakfast/brunch this morning. Things looked busy and good, but took a turn for the worse when after ordering the manager/owner said, "let's hope your food comes out in 20 minutes." 35-38 minutes later it did....ugh!The chicken and waffles were great and it's amazing that they got the chicken inside the waffles. The breakfast pizza was pretty much just cheese pizza with potatoes....no eggs or breakfast meat (sausage/bacon)....just a lot of cheese and a few potatoes.

Meanwhile, we sat at the communal table, next to the previous diners uneaten food that sat for at least 45 minutes before I finally got up and took care of it myself.

It just seemed like they needed one more person working to take care of things as the barista was too busy making drinks to bring out food or too busy taking out food to make drinks.

Poor service and 1 of 2 dishes were good.

Delicious - recommend the magician breakfast bite

Absolutely delicious from coffee to food to pastry. I hadn't heard of this place until my friend invited me there for coffee and some bites. So glad she did. It was SO yummy!!! I would highly recommend it!

If you're in the area - STOP BY! The hospitality is incredible; the food selection and quality is underpriced for DC; the space, music and volume are just loud enough that you can easily concentrate on assignments or catch up with a friend. There are communal high tables, booths, single tables, solo couches and enough outlets to come in a group or come alone. It's truly a hidden gem with a "local hangspot" feel that caters to various ages. I don't even live within walking distance, but the drive is so worth it.
And also - Kudos to Alina, her bright smile welcomes all!

Great atmosphere! Good coffee. Great spot to sit down get work done on laptop. Multiple outlets to plug in as well. Comfy seats. Free Wifi as well. Recommend this spot for sure!

Attention to the owner: I love the food and coffee. But waiting 25 minutes for a breakfast sandwich really destroyed the experience. There are some many good coffee shops around the area, Northside is just across the street. It will be super hard to survive if you don’t invest more on staffing and kitchen efficiency. There were only one host at the front taking orders and making drinks, and only one lady in the kitchen making food. There wasn’t many people on the day I visited and everybody waited for at least 20 mins on a breakfast sandwich. I don’t know how many of them would come back but I truly won’t cuz there are a lot of other options in the area.

Manuel is the man. This is a great place, everyone is cordial, the renovations have been fantastic, the coffee is local roast and I can say this will be the best coffee hang-out in the area. Let's just say it's a wee bit quieter than Northside Social (which is also great).

Super cute and cozy coffee shop/ cafe with very ample lighting and seating! I’ll come here to do work when I’m in the Clarendon area. The Nutella crescente pastry is also a must-try.
