Detour Espresso

Serious espresso spot on Argyle Place where the coffee actually matters and the staff know what they're doing.

Head down to Argyle Place in the southside and you'll find Detour doing exactly what a proper neighbourhood coffee shop should do: pour excellent espresso without any faffing about. The kind of place where regulars queue before 9am and the baristas remember your usual. It's unpretentious but genuinely skilled, with that satisfying buzz of people who actually care about their coffee. You'll see folk settling in with laptops, friends catching up over flat whites, and a steady stream of locals who know a decent brew when they taste one.
