We ordered a Toffee Nut Macchiato and a Dirty Autumn Chai Latte, and both were great. The macchiato was smooth but not overly sweet. The Dirty Autumn Chai was a bit sweeter and also great. The staff was super friendly. There was a long line of at least a 20-minutes. The drinks are worth the wait or tracking the truck. read more

I highly recommend this business. There was a bit of a line but I expected it since there were only two people working. They had decor on their coffee bar shelf. I love when businesses, especially food trucks have details like that. I ordered the seaside macchiato on their June specialty drink menu. I told the lady working that I prefer my drinks sweet so she suggested that I add more sweetener. They worked at a great pace with the line that they had. The wait wasn't too long. Maybe 5-7 minutes. My name was called and I stepped up for my drink. It was so pretty! I took a sip and immediately realized that it was not sweet enough to my liking. I stirred and received the same outcome. I went back to the window and asked for more sweetener. The guy working was apologetic and took my drink back with no complaint. Unfortunately, as he attempted to place my cup on the counter, the cup fell. He apologized again and remade it. He didn't cuss, fuss, or seem angry, he just remade the drink. That really made an impact because I would've expected a bit of frustration and there wasn't any. He remade my drink and explained that how I wanted it made, he had to add one less espresso shot. I thanked him for his patience and remaking my drink. They have great customer service! I give this company two thumbs up. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 . read more

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.

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

If you are looking for a coffee truck for any event, I would HIGHLY recommend Detour. When I first contacted them to schedule a date (it was list minute), they didn't have availability. But Mike connected me with other trucks in the area who may be able to help. I knew then that I wanted to work with Detour. We finally landed on a date and it was incredible! I have a staff of about 45 people and they provided beverages and baked good for them all. I had so many of my employees remark to me, "the coffee was so good!", "the muffins were incredible", and the resounding comment was "the guys in the truck were incredibly friendly!"

The Italian crème cake was an easy 10/10, super rich, moist, and decadent without being overwhelming. You can tell it's done right. The strawberry cream horn was also really good. The strawberry flavor itself was pretty subtle, but the crème was light and airy, and the pastry shell had a great crisp to it. They have a small outdoor seating area, which is nice, because the inside is very... cozy. Staff is friendly and helped us choose these great desserts Also had their tiramisu here in the past and it was delicious. Overall, really solid bakery. I'd absolutely come back, especially for that Italian crème cake.

It was difficult to decide what to get. They had so many options, but everything held up to the highest standard and quality. When we got there, there was a line out the door, however, the line moved very quickly, and it was definitely worth the wait. I do wish they had more of a seating area.

What a great little coffee shop!

There's ample seating, and on the Wednesday late morning that I stopped in, a smattering of folks were quietly working. The pastries are displayed along the counter, and there's also a chalkboard with their empanada offerings. 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!

I was early for an appointment nearby and definitely ready for my second cup of coffee. I pulled…read moreinto Summit Coffee at 7:30am and was relieved to see the lights on and the doors open. It always feels like a small victory when a local shop is open early enough that I can skip the Green Siren people and enjoy something with a bit more character. A friendly barista took my order and made a perfect cortado in a proper mug. The milk art was tidy and appealing, the cup itself had a bit of charm, and the coffee was rich, balanced, and exactly what I needed to settle into the morning. I spent about an hour at a corner table, watching the place gradually fill with people meeting, chatting, and easing into their day. Only a handful of us had laptops, which made for an interesting mix of energy in the room. Or at least, interesting to me as I chipped away at a bit of work. The parking lot is far too small for the number of people who clearly love this place, so cars spilled out along the street. Even so, it was a pleasant and productive stop, and a good way to bridge the time before my appointment. [Review 58 of 2026 - 4537 in North Carolina - 25248 overall]

It's nice to see both familiar and new places at this location. The run meets before the shop opens but by the time we're done, it's 7am and the coffee is ready. The interior is super clean, bright, and inviting. Great for hanging out, coworking, a date, pretty much anything! They have some merch/retail and also offer beer wine at this location. There's a good assortment of pastries - muffins, croissants, etc - as well. Coffee is good, prices reasonable, and great service all around. @azfitfoodfun
