Mission 5 - Detour Cafe - 3035 SE Division

We had breakfast at Detour two or three years ago. It was good, but didn't leave such an impression on me that I wanted to go back. We decided to go back because of the sucky experience we had at Hedge House. Detour was just down the street.

Something seemed different about the physical environment of Detour from the last time we were there. It felt really good. I think it might be the bushes that they put in front of the restaurant that shield it from the traffic on Division. The windows were also open between the indoor and outdoor seating areas. It was such a comfortable place, we could have hung out there all day.

Will and I ordered fritatas. Mine had italian sausage and romano cheese, along with roasted potatoes. This food was great! The best part was their bread. It's baked freshly there on site. Will told me to turn around at one point and we saw them taking more fresh bread out of the office. How great is that?



Instead of having traditional berry jams on the table for our bread, they had a apricot preserve to enjoy with our bread.

We'll be back.

I love appricot preserves. I don't get over to that neighborhood very often (near the ex's house, his turf) but next time I'll keep it in mind.
