    Love a good house-made syrup cafe!!!! This place is so cute and their coffee is delish. They had fun things to order on the menu and cool latte flavors. I ordered the vanilla latte and my sister got the brown sugar latte. Both 10/10 they also had grab and go items as well.

    London fog
    Sarah A.

    The service here was great and very quick. This was one of the best London fogs I've ever had. The flavor was so rich and creamy. And you could see the seasonings and lavender flowers on top. The only thing I didn't like was that this place was kind of dirty even after arriving in the morning. The seating and everything was very beat up. I even saw a panel come off of a seating area while here. And the furniture in general seemed beat up and dirty. This place could easily be 5 stars if those things were addressed.

    I want to love this place so much. I WANT to. I haven't been here in about two years but I was hoping they would have upgraded their seats. Sadly, no. Why do they sabotage themselves like this? They have great food with a great selection, great coffee, great staff. Then they have these seats with cracks and holes and it looos like shit. It was bad when I was here two years ago, so I thought surely they must've fixed it by now. Apparently not. Why why why? WHY? Your food and drinks are GOOD. STOP RUINING THE AMBIANCE AND JUST REPLACE THE BOOTHS. If you did this, I'd be here constantly. You can't possibly think this is okay.

    I'd definitely return to this coffee shop! I ordered a speciality latte, which was on the pricier side at $11.50, but it was really good! First time trying pistachio milk which I thought was a cool offering. I also got the chicken Caesar sandwich and fries, very yummy! Inside the cafe is large, so there's plenty of seating to stay and get work done as well. And I have to shoutout the staff! The barista offered us a free pastry when we mentioned it was our first time visiting. He definitely didn't have to do that but it immediately made me want to return and continue supporting this business! Outside there are parking spots but they were full so I paid to park a few streets over via Park Mobile and walked.

    Wow! The BEST BLT and seasoned fries. Lots of meat and served on focaccia bread which I've never seen before. Delicious! The date latte was nice, I personally couldn't taste it but I am not a coffee drinker so that's probably why. The service was excellent! The co-working was as well! He took time to explain what things were in the continental curio. I'd definitely return and do highly recommend. Go, enjoy!!!

    Good, sometimes crowded, neighborhood halal coffee shop. Their espresso beverages, like their habibi latte, are excellent and served quickly to guests. The baked goods and their breakfast menu are imaginative and have great options. The breakfast burrito is filling. I don't know if their price points are optimal for the type of food served. Plenty of bike riders and other guests come by the shop during the weekends. Also, this place is a first date kind of place, too.

    Recommended by my friend who's a regular here! Though limited parking, a spacious coffee shop! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for grabbing a quick coffee, doing work, or hanging out with friends/family. They have a pretty large menu of drinks and food items. We tried the specials, the Habibi Latte and Campfire Latte. The Habibi Latte reminds me of the House Latte at Tatte Bakery because of the cardamom, pretty good! I really liked the Campfire latte, which was essentially a mocha, and it came with a torched marshmellow and graham cracker :) Would definitely come back to try their food and other drinks!

    Habibi latte and dubai chocolate latte

    Seeing detour coffee underneath Darna brought back so many memories from darna days. Aaah good times! Anyways back to detour coffee - the cute little Palestinian cafe that offers unique coffee flavors with a middle-eastern twist like the habibi latte made with walnut & date oat milk and the dubai chocolate latte which i will most def get next time because stealing just two sips off my hubs did not do the trick. It was delightful and just the right amount of rich and sweet. We opted for the breakfast burrito filled with Lebanese sausage, veggies, eggs and a bunch of other deliciousness. We also got the sandwich steak lines and that ended up being my favorite - the shredded steak was seasoned with aromatic spices and tasted delicious. I also tasted the maamoul (Palestinian date biscuit) but the sweetness level was soo subtle that it almost came off too plain. It was buttery but could have been sweeter. We'll surely be back to taste and try more drinks.

    WOW! Such a great spot. SO much seating and has such a cool vibe. Some parking out front too. Delicious food, I was so impressed for a coffee shop. They had a really diverse menu that everyone in the group will be bound to find something they like. Food came out hot and delicious. serving sizes were really generous. Coffee drinks were all delicious too! Campfire latte had really fun garnishes and the habibi latte was absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend. You order at the register so just know it's not full service restaurant, but it's worth it

    This is my new favorite coffee shop! The food is sooo good! I love going with my girlfriends because it never disappoints. The coffee is amazing, especially if you don't like when your coffee is too sweet. Everything is flavorful and service is always on point. It does get busy, but the outdoor seating helps especially wish small parties

    I still love this coffee shop, but just a heads up! parking is absolutely horrible. They have about 6 spots out front but they share a lot with other businesses. I parked across the street one time for a few hours & my car got towed. Weekdays & early on the weekends are best for parking

    Came in on a weekday around 9:15am for breakfast. The vibe is a rustic cool one. There was a large table occupied in the middle and a few duos at booths. I easily found a comfy booth to await the food. I got the pumpkin patch latte and it was good. OJ is in the case and bottled. My friend got the empanadas based on them being popular on Yelp. It had a slightly spicy, tasty beef filling and a sweeter dough. We both liked it. He got the fries/potatoes instead of the salad and liked his substitution. I got the avocado toast. It only came on sourdough; they do not have any type of wheat toast. Presentation was pretty and trendy served on a board. Egg was cooked perfectly. But the outside of the toast was so tough I really needed a steak knife to cut it. Mine also came with the same potatoes and they were delicious. Individual ketchup servings came with each order.

    My girlfriend and I went here for dinner recently…read more Ambiance is on point with a very fun bee/ honey theme. They had a cute outdoor seating space, however it was cold and rainy so we couldn't sit there. We had the fried green tomatoes, snd both got the salmon with two sides of your choice. I got Brussels sprouts and potatoes. She got Mac and cheese and salad. The salmon was perfectly cooked and potatoes were crispy and salty on the outside and creamy potato on the inside. Yum!! We sat there until they were sweeping around our feet and they were very nice about it even then. I rarely close down a place these days, so I was grateful they were accommodating.

    Let me start with the good. Our waitress, Samika, greeted us…read morewith a smile and took great care of us. She was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving. The wait wasn't long, and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. They also offer a Monday-Friday happy hour from 4 PM to 6 PM, which is worth noting. Now that we've covered the positives... I came with my family, as we usually go out to eat on Sundays after church. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my sister had the dark‑meat chicken with fries, that unfortunately had to be switched when they brought her the wrong white meat, chicken and fries. My granddaughter got sausage and grits. There are no pictures of the food because I don't recommend you come here if you're looking for real southern food. I personally won't be back and won't waste storage space on disappointment. The shrimp and grits....the portion was so small, I thought they accidentally brought me the sample plate. It should honestly be listed under "Kids Menu". The menu says it comes with chorizo pork sausage, but instead of sliced pieces like normal restaurants, it was crumbled so tiny I thought it was seasoning dust. When I asked about it, they told me it's "put in very small so you don't know it's there." Well... congratulations. Mission accomplished. You get six shrimp, and they claim the dish is "spicy". Please, the spice level was somewhere between tap water and air. Then there was the chicken dish. I tasted it, and my sister will give you the full breakdown in her own review. The skin had a nice honey flavor, I'll give them that. But once you get past the skin, the chicken was out here playing hide‑and‑seek with the seasoning. Completely bland. The fries were fine, not great, not terrible, just fries. Now, the bathroom: I was unimpressed. When you walk in, there were paper towels on the floor and toilet paper in places it shouldn't be. The handicap stall does have a baby‑changing table and some extra paper towel and tissue supplies, which is helpful. However, the toilet seat covers in the handicap stall need to be replaced, even though the other stall had some available. Overall, the restroom did not feel well‑maintained. Great service can't make up for food and facilities that simply don't deliver. This was a disappointing visit, and I won't be back.

When we made the reservation in advance, we called to ask if happy hour was everywhere or just at the bar; they said everywhere, so we booked a table. Plot twist, it's only at the bar / downstairs :))) We arrived 15 minutes early, so while they got our table ready, we ordered at the bar. 5 stars for the bartender. If I could review her, the host, and the happy hour prices in isolation, I would! They moved us upstairs, we sat down, and immediately saw the menus were different. We asked the gentleman bringing waters about happy hour and he sent the waiter over. The waiter, with about 2% helpfulness, shared that happy hour is only downstairs. I mentioned that we had called in advance to ask. We asked if it would be possible to have that menu or perhaps move. The conversation felt like pulling teeth. He said, with much dismissiveness, it was up to the host downstairs to move and if they had availability and left. (Fair, we move, he doesn't get his tip. An alternative? Give us the happy hour menu, still get your tip. Better yet, just be slightly helpful?) The host downstairs found us a table but shared it was booked at 6:15 so we needed to be in and out. It was no problem because we had arrived before 5 (early, remember?). Although, it took 15 minutes (I timed it!) for anyone to come bring waters or address us as their table. A little hard to operate with urgency when no one takes your order!! I got up, told the host stand, and they sent a server over, and he proceeded to come back all of three times. We also had to flag him down to get our check, while we sat with empty waters that were never once refilled. We had pizza, cod sliders, and half orders of aglio e olio pasta. The cod sliders were more breadding than fish, but the flavor was decent. The pasta was delicious. No five star Italian meal, but it hit the spot and the portion was plentiful. I didn't try the pizza but it was 12 inches, piping hot, and the two eating it couldn't finish it. The food came out quickly and hot. I think we spent under or just about $100 for four folks to have dinner + drinks, so the prices are really solid. Perhaps you get what you pay for though? Both of our male servers seemed annoyed to be dealing with us and mostly unhelpful. Noteworthy mention: there was a female server who was kind enough to bring us a brown paper bag for our to go box. She was running around and her tables seemed well cared for. Disappointed in my experience and the customer service.

Instead of monitoring, the progress of the finished dishes and removing those dishes due to space constraint, the dishes came from the kitchen, almost on top of one another, and at one point I had to hold a dish in my hand in order to make space to put a dish on top of another flatbread pan/dish, making things super chaotic.
