The BEST coffee I have ever had! I've learned so much about coffee since finding this place when it was a tiny little hole in the back alley. They opened up the restaurant early this year (2011) and the quality of food is just as good.
I am also in love with the atmosphere, it fits perfectly with Dundas. They opened up a patio as well, which feels like a getaway, even though you would step out on the busiest street in town.
Bonus points: They allow dogs on the patio! It seems they have a love for dogs because they always have fresh water available. One time, one of the owners stayed and pet my dog when she started whining when i was inside grabbing a coffee.
If you visit Hamilton or Dundas, this place is a MUST! -

Great food and coffee. Real gem
The pulled chicken sandwich had a ton of flavour and the buttermilk bun just soaked up the juices perfectly. Friend had the mac and cheese which wasn't bad.
Great ambience. Looking forward to the outdoor patio in the summer. -

Their coffee is as good as it gets. No question. Their "pour-over" servings are simply fantastic. I'm usually a one-spoonful-of-sugar guy, just to cut the bitterness of most coffees, but the Detour brews are absolutely brilliant as is. Black or with a dollop of skim milk, simply the best.
I've been inside Detour maybe 6 or 7 times, and every visit is met with the friendliest staff imagineable.
Hate to gush so much, but I find no faults.... Wait. I see some crumbs on the floor beneath the pastry display.... There you go! The place could use a sweep!! Hahahaha....
If you're passing through Dundas, do not miss stopping at Detour for a coffee and a fresh-made-in-house pastry.
Sincerely,
Coop. -

this place has been around for a while now as a roaster hiding in a nook in a back alley. They did so well they've now taken over the building, and opened a fantastic cafe. From day one it's been the best cafe in the region. The owner has been supplying a number of cafes from Hamilton to Toronto with coffee he roasts himself. He sources beans from all over and provides handy little tasting cards in case you want to compare your Papuan to your Sumatran. They've put a ton of work and care and brilliance into it. The staff are great too. I need to move to Dundas.
I haven't partaken of too much prepared food, but the treats are great. Sorry to be so sickeningly positive! -

Can't tell you how much I enjoy their freshly roasted coffee. Always my favorite for the espresso maker
