First visit to Detour. Went to pick up beans. Didn't realize they had a whole menu and dine in option. Busy, with limited tables, but a very short wait for seating. Ordered coffee and breakfast. The first bite of sausage in my breakfast sandwich was out of this world. Flavorful and delicious. Only wish it was bigger to fill the sandwich to the edges.

All in all, great visit and I look forward to going back!

Coffee and food are good. Staff are sometimes nice, sometimes not. Was pleasant when I went during the week but really crowded and noisy when I came back on a Saturday. Big turnoff on both visits was the state of the benches. They might have been beige once, now very stained and they look filthy.

Detour has some of the best coffee in the city - hands down. The atmosphere of the space is excellent and their patio in their summer is offers beautiful courtyard style respite. Their small bites and breakfasts are lovely but if you're looking to sit down, be prepared to wait as it can sometimes get busy. Enjoy the best cafe in Hamilton!
