Detour Coffee
946 N Jackson St, Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“Detour Coffee transforms what could be a standard caffeine stop into a full-fledged neighborhood gathering spot, where you're just as likely to linger over shakshuka and homemade pita as you are to grab a meticulously crafted strawberry matcha. The thoughtfully designed space and genuinely warm staff have earned it a reputation as one of Arlington's best, making it the kind of place locals adopt as their unofficial second living room, whether they're meeting friends or settling in with their laptop for the afternoon.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Love the mixture of indoor and outdoor seating. There were games you could play which was a fun addition. The iced chai latte was DELICIOUS! I didn’t have any good but they had a great variety. Only downside is parking is very limited and I had to park on the street and walk a…

Among the best places in the region. The name of the place doesn't do it justice because it's way more than just a coffee shop; it's also a great restaurant. The Falafel Smash Burger and seasoned fries were to die for. Just the right kind of moist, excellent texture, savory…
Wandered into this place because I needed some caffeine and was so pleasantly surprised! Beautiful space, great ambiance, and super friendly service. My strawberry matcha was perfect — you could tell the matcha was high quality and the strawberry puree was homemade. Perfectly…
Shakshuka was flavorful and the homemade pita was warm and tasty. It’s big enough to split between two. Hot drip coffee includes refills, and the iced latte was delicious. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and listen for your name to be called for…
Great service and very friendly staff. But the knafa was very dry, crumbly, and difficult to eat. We got one of each to try together and we all think it wasn’t good at all unfortunately. Would def come back but might need to order something else
