Detour Coffee - Arlington

I thought have given this a review. I love the coffee and food here. Definitely go for the sandwiches. Particularly the mediterranean egg plant burger. Service is your classic friendly neighborhood coffeeshop. Ambiance is good for chat and study.

Such a cool spot in a college town neighborhood. Was a bit weird from the outside but we found parking! Seems like a great area to sit down grab a bite and drink and get to work. Ample outlets and seating!The Avocado toast was very large and tasty. Highly recommend. There were also many other items on the menu that I was tempted to try out.

Spent the evening here for a paint night. Great coffee and pastries. Staff were very attentive, fun and friendly! Loved the atmosphere.

This place has really good coffee and food. I'm usually excited when a meetup gets posted here.Food: 5/5

Yesterday I made a last minute decision and added Detour Coffee to my coffee trail through Arlington. It turned out to be the best decision I made all day. First, I was warmly and energetically welcomed by the cashier. It was around 2pm. I should have asked her name but I forgot. She had a great smile and a contagious positive attitude. While ordering I happened to notice the Vigilante coffee and when I mentioned it the cashier was excited to talk about Vigilante. It was a great short conversation.The decor in the shop was inviting and unique. I ended up getting out of my chair to walk around and look at everything. The owners personalized every corner of the store, but it wasn't over done or gawky. There is outdoor sitting. It looked comfy and I bet you can bring your animal. It was way too cold to sit outside, but I'd like to come back and sit with my dog and enjoy coffee.The most important aspect is obviously the cortado. Of the four cortados I had yesterday, Detour's cortado was the very best. The milk to espresso ratio was perfect, it wa served at a great temperature with a wonderful velvety foam texture. I truly appreciate a great cortado and Detour Coffee Company certainly knows how to make one.
