Cutest cafe, they have 2 patios and indoor seating. A variety of local books chocolate and other goods. Coffee supplies like Chemex and pour overs. Very well priced. George Town bagels, YUM! A large drink menu and they serve alcohol if you are so inclined....They had a sign indicated live music! A nice stop after hiking the North Head Trail on SH!More

This is a pleasant local cafe at the Battery. They have a small patio outdoors plus seating inside too. The coffee is great, and there is a nice selection of decadent treats. Stock up on your calories before making the trek up to Signal Hill!...Note: It is on a pretty busy intersection, with only a bit of street parking.More

We had read about this place before we got there and had breakfast there one of the mornings we were in town. We each got the breakfast sandwich and they were really tasty, although the bagels were a little harder than I am used to....The coffee was delicious. The service was great. We sat on the little patio outside and overlooked the water which was a great view to have with breakfast!More

THanks, glad you enjoyed it, and sorry for the hard bagel. They are Montreal style, baked locally, smaller then some but usually delicious. .

I come here frequently and I've never been disappointed. Recently I've been hooked on the Gluten Free Walnut Brownie. It is honestly life changing!! Such a treat. It's super cozy inside, or you can stay outside and use their walk up window. I highly recommend...checking it out!More

I had a cappuccino which was excellent, however I also ordered a salmon bagel with capers, pickled onions, etc. I was disappointed by how small the bagel was. It was literally the smallest bagel I’ve ever seen, with proportionately small portions of salmon on it....It cost $12 (before tax + tip) and I left feeling hungry and taken advantage of.More

Hi Geocore, I am sorry that you had a negative experience. The bagels come from a local bakery called Georgetown. They are slightly smaller than normal however locally made. I hope you decide to come back and a free coffee on us. Best, Mary Beth

Love this place, the people, the food and atmosphere. Detour coffee makes the best lattes and the people who serve them are fantastic! The baked food is devine - try the carrot cake or banana bread - you won't be disappointed! Also, the breakfast kicker...wrap with sour cream on the side is one of my favorites.More

Having this cafe in my neighbourhood makes a great place to live even better. I love their quiche and my spouse dies for their espresso. They also serve locally made bagels that are pretty out of this world. Great spot to grab a coffee after...you've wandered Signal Hill or the Battery, but equally as great to spend a few hours sipping beverages and working. They also have a seasonal to-go window complete with dog treats - which both my dogs sure appreciate.More
