    Coffee truck
    Shane P.

    Detour usually comes to my apartment complex a few times a year and I make sure to never miss them. Service is always perfect, always met with a smile and friendly conversation. Coffee is fast, hot and always comes exactly how you order, so it's always nice. This isn't a long review but all I really wanted to say is it's always a pleasure to speak with them and always makes you have a good morning. Hats off to detour! Awesome job.

    The Detour Coffeebar Truck

    I'm big on Black owned business, so I make it a point to make a detour on my morning commute whenever Detour Coffeebar is in my community! It's always a morning pick me up to be greeted by a smiling face. I'm a person who always has questions, & they always make sure to answer them with patience & enthusiasm! I always try something new when I visit, but my favorite of all time was definitely the Banana Crisp w/ Oat Milk (yummmmm!). I'm not a habitual coffee drinker so being able to order fun drinks like this allows me to enjoy the caffeine boost for the day. The flavors are always great & the coffee is well made. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure all of their menu items can be ordered either hot or iced. They also have a wide variety of dairy alternatives for us dairy sensitive folks out there (#TeamOatMilk) to try in your drinks so you won't have to shy away from the festive seasonal drinks they offer. The muffins are also great & a pretty decent size! I don't have pics due to me being impatient when I get my hands on them, but believe me they're like the size of my palm. I totally recommend checking them out & I promise it won't be your last!

    Salted Carmel & Coconut Macchiato

    Ice Ice baby ... This Morning I took a Detour over to Detour Coffee Bar. Cool coffee on wheels concept . They are actually mobile and making their way around town . You can check their schedule available on the website or Instagram to find out where you can find them for the entire week . I'm in love with the summer menu I was like a kid in a candy store trying to choose which one I wanted to try first . I opted for the Iced Seaside Macchiato which consisted of Salted Carmel and toasted coconut pair to make the ideal latte for summer daze . I was not disappointed & actually surprised at how much I could taste the coconut & salted Carmel in the latte .

    WOW! Detour Coffeebar had an event where I live so I decided to try it. Wasn't sure which holiday latte to get but the lady taking my order was extremely friendly and helpful and even told me she could mix and match flavors to my liking. I decided on the gingerbread latte and WOW! So much flavor, the ginger really pops, unlike at Starbucks where I feel their gingerbread latte falls flat. I wish Detour Coffeebar would come here everyday! Coffee 5/5 Service 5/5

    The Detour Coffeebar came to Wren Northlake today!  Can you say delicious?
    Cheryl M.

    The coffee bar came to service the Wren Northlake apartment community today and the beverages were piping hot and extremely flavorful. The cold beverages were icy and good as well. I also got a slice of pistachio bread that reminded me of pound cake. Boy was it good! The customer service is what I look for and the 2 member team was friendly, fast and the prices are excellent! I gave them a $2 tip on top of my $2 bill. I love great customer service! Hope to see you again before I move!

    Since the pandemic I've been depending on coffee to get me through the day. What a delight to find Detour right here at my apt complex! I throughly enjoyed my holiday drink as well the the service. The Dirty Holiday Spiced Chai was splendid and gave me great comfort from the very first sip. You could taste spices like cinnamon without it being too overpowering. Even if it means driving an hour away, I would definitely go out of my way next time to taste Dirty Holiday Spiced Chai again!

    The only downside to Detour is that it is not in my neighborhood all the time. Detour is a great coffee truck with a big menu of delicious drinks and even pastries. We had the Fall menu, and got the Apple Caramel latte, Coffee Cake latte and the regular coffee. The great part about the lattes is that they weren't too sweet, but they tasted great. All of the drinks and coffee were much better than most coffee places I have had. We will definitely be seeking Detour out as it navigates its way around Charlotte.

    Truck available for neighborhood events

    Go online and find this truck's schedule. I am so impressed not only with the owner but also the quality of the coffee. I legit stalk when this truck is nearby and go every time. I'm yet to have a bad cup of coffee there. Also their smoothies and breakfast items are good too. Go get a cup or even a dozen. They are also available for events.

    Great coffee and friendly team. I enjoyed the seaside latte hot with oat milk. The latte was creamy delicious and a perfect treat for the day. The salted caramel and coconut was perfectly balanced. I look forward to finding this gem again as it roves about Charlotte. This is a great concept and definitely worth trying. I found them on Instagram and glad I did

Got a good matcha latte in a lovely 'delivery.' Staff was polite, efficient. Dearth of offerings info - again, customers there are likely regulars-- so baristas didn't offer info I didn't expressly ask for. (I couldn't see what the milk subs were for drinks, or decaf options, etc.) The drink was fine but this is not the venue for me. I commuted to get there, & was annoying finding a spot in the close-quarters lot. Then had to stop busy staff to ask for the bathroom key...esplly awkwd since I had to go more than once.

I got to chat with the baristas, who recommended one of their seasonal drinks. The Blackberry Shortbread Cookie Latte. It was the perfect mix of creamy and sweet, with a distinct "matcha-ey" quality where all the flavors balanced each other out perfectly. I really wish I'd had more time to sit and enjoy it there, the space looked so cozy! You definitely have to give their coffee a try. They have several locations throughout the city, but I highly recommend checking this one out!

On this visit I had a cortado, which was strong, smooth and well made. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive without being intrusive. What I like most is the atmosphere. During my visit I saw families browsing books while enjoying a drink, friends meeting for coffee and people having informal meetings. It feels like a place where you can spend time rather than simply stop by. The balcony seating looked especially appealing for reading or quiet study, with a good view over the café below. A place with plenty of character, and one I will be returning to again.

You can actually watch the nitro percolating and settling in the glass when it's poured, which is such a treat. To go with the coffee, I ordered the breakfast burrito and a chocolate pastry. The burrito was delicious and generous in size, served with a salsa that brought a great kick without being overbearing. The chocolate pastry was fresh, flaky, and hit the spot. Service from the staff on the first floor was attentive and helpful, and the space has a solid energy to it. Parking is tight (the lot only holds a handful of cars), and while the noise level is moderate, it's nothing a good pair of headphones can't handle if you're looking to get some focus work done.

I ordered a zucchini quiche and nitro coffee, my SO ordered drip, cortado, and empanadas (Patagonia, spinach, and breakfast). I thought the cortado was delicious. The drip was very weak and the nitro bitter. The quiche was just slightly over salted. I liked the spinach empanada, but found it heavy on the salt too. The Patagonia was pretty delicious and had great flavor. When I took a bite of the breakfast empanada, I couldn't name any of the ingredients in the filling. Overall, gave me the caffeine boost and sustenance I needed, but I probably wouldn't return.

I didn't know what to expect since this hidden gem is located on a church campus but such a great experience. It was a Saturday morning, I was anticipating a super crowded/busy place but the morning ended up being super sleepy. I brought a laptop to work on travel planning as my "craft." Super easy to park, connect to wifi and grab snacks and coffee from the wonderful barista. For a while, it was me, the barista, another gentleman (working solo) and two ladies catching up in one of the many tables to catch up at. When my friends arrived, we were able to push two tables together to have enough chairs and table space since people brought diamond paintings, cross stitch, and coloring workbooks to work on. It was a lovely time. A group of ladies did come in later and started playing mah jong. Toward the end of our meetup, folks were coming in with flowers, dresses, and tuxedos in preparation for a wedding happening later that day. Overall a great place to meetup. There's a nice group/conference room that looks like it could be reserved for larger parties, but most of the tables were for two people... three 4-tops and then a couple of other tables with more lounge chairs (for groups of 4). I have an older laptop so I'm stuck looking for power, there were a couple tables situated close to outlets and then a large wrap around bar in the center that I spied a few outlets but not all the seating had access to power.

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working.

I got a pineapple-stuffed pastry stick, pan de bono (cheese bread), and guava & cheese empanada to go with our iced brown sugar cinnamon latte & iced vanilla latte (both with oat milk). I love the tropical/Colombian touches to the food offerings, and they were all delish! I especially enjoyed the empanada since it was served hot with a flaky crust and perfect amount of filling. Highly recommend coming in if you're in the area and looking for a caffeine + sweet treat boost!
