I can't believe I've never been to this place and it has been open for years... Took donuts to work, and my colleagues were over the moon for them. The donuts are a little bit on the pricy side since they are all hand decorated. Ended up cutting them into smaller pieces so everyone can try a different flavor. My favorite is the Creme Brule by far. My colleagues asked me to bring the fancy donuts again for the next team meeting.

What a lovely little place that offers such great service, wonderful coffee, and delicious doughnuts! We stopped in before the eclipse madness and took our goodies home. The crème brûlée doughnut, apple fritter, pistachio matcha, and fig mascarpone were all fantastic!! If I lived in Dallas I would be fatter than already am since I would stop here at least weekly. My dad got an espresso, daughter got an iced golden lavender latte, and I got an iced caramel macchiato—all excellent.

Amazing! I love heading to Detour for special occasions! Their donuts are so unique, delicious and BEAUTIFUL. You won’t regret spending a lovely morning with their pastry and coffee.

Good doughnuts and good service! I thought my crème brûlée doughnut was a bit lady on the top. Like they tried to balance the sweet with the salty. But still goooooood! I’m going back for that tiramisu one!

Not just another donut shop! Do not pass up this cozy little gem. The creativity in the donut flavors and decoration (super mario bros. donuts) is unique as well. The coffee selection is good as well. Today I ordered a Creme Pie donut, Fig and Marscapone donut and Brown Butter Cinnamon Roll with a hot Golden Lavender Latte. The Coconut Creme Pie donut was so light with a whipped filling that was not too sweet. I didn't really taste the lavender in my latte but it was still good and I'd order it again. They also have empanadas.... I need to try the Argentinian empanada on my next visit. They are open everyday until 1pm with extended hours until 3pm on Friday and Saturday.

Popped into Detour Doughnuts & Coffee before going to get my nails done at CharmLux. First time at Detour and took the suggestion of Honey Lavender Hot coffee and the Granny Smith Apple Fritter. Both were amazing! Staff was super helpful and friendly. The place was adorable. Totally recommend!

Such delicious and unique flavors that change regularly. We've been a few times, and it's always wonderful. We ordered ahead the last time and enjoyed getting to have our order delivered to our car. Specialty coffees are quite good as well. You really can't go wrong with any item on the menu. My daughter loves their emoji donuts.

Our new go-to Doughnut shop! Its a hike for us (30 miles each way) but absolutely worth it. You can tell each and every doughnut is made with love here. The flavours are out lf this world! They are so light and airy, like a delicate french pastry, yet so full of flavour! The menu changes from month to month, so there’s always something special to look forward to. My only “complaint”, if you can even call it that, is that there’s only the single location. Hopefully this changes in the very near future. If you haven’t been, or are considering it, just do yourself a favour and go, you certainly won’t be disappointed!

STELLAR DONUTS!! Chef Jinny Cho's donuts are so soft, fluffy, and rich in their flavors! Detour puts out high quality ingredients and techniques, and you can definitely taste it. I came in on a weekday noontime, and I was greeted by the sweet worker Lynn! She was very patient with us since we couldn't decide on which flavors to get! We finally decided on mini blueberry goat cheese, mini chocolate banana, and pistachio matcha. The pistachio matcha had such great depth of matcha flavor! It had a lovely balance of sweetness as well. The blueberry goat cheese had a wonderfully rich blueberry flavor to it! Loved the chocolate banana as well! Really enjoy going here! They have such fun monthly flavors and great takes on the classic donuts!

At first they were not sure if they had more than one size drink, then no de-cafe. Doughnut was a normal blueberry cake doughnut, nothing special, and a sausage in a bun. Sure you could sit down to eat but was occupied by a group of toddlers. The wait staff was friendly and prompt. Not sure what all the hoopla is about. Just another doughnut shop with an espresso machine.

Delicious pastries! I really love a place that has great pastries that are not just all sugar. These are so great! Today I tried the crème brûlée, Keylime pie, jalapeño sausage, apple fritter, and love is love- vanilla. Every single one delicious. The ladies behind the counter were very sweet and helpful. Efficient. There is a small place to sit and relax and a nice clean restroom.

I am always looking for the perfect glazed donut and I think I found it!! The donuts here at detour are out of this world, moist, flavorful, and like eating a piece of heaven! The strawberry matcha is also a wonderful item! I also tried the creme brûlée and I'm amazed at just how much flavor and richness is inside a single donuts! They are not terribly large inside, but they make up for it with all their large flavors! Next time I'm there, the key lime pie donut is mine!

Nice little donut shop in frisco. Great selection of colorful donuts and yummy coffee selection. The owner displays passion in her craft with these little goodies and it shows in every bite. The only thing I feel was missing in the wide array of donuts is the Cronut variety! That would be awesome here!

The best strawberry matcha latte and creme brûlée donut! Their matcha is vibrant green and the strawberry balanced out the matcha for the perfect, refreshing drink! Their creme brûlée donut has a crispy outside layer and the cream inside is to die for! Staff is very friendly and ambience is great, love my experience here.

Their donuts are very pretty and taste just as good as they look! This is a woman owned business which I love :) it's a tight space but you may get lucky and snag a table. You can keep your donut fresh but placing it in the freezer and thaw 1 hour before you indulge - yum!

Holy frickin airball.......listen, I've been a customer for a few years now! You can't go wrong with the creme brûlée donut! However, she has a menu that changes monthly. This month, her donut just about made me want to cry! A Dubai chocolate donut! This donut alone deserves its own review, its own spotlight! If you've ever had Dubai chocolate, you know it's bougie and it's going to be a little pricey. JUST SPEND THE DANG MONEY AND GET THE FULL SIZE, NOT THE MINI!!! I must consume as many of these in the month of July before they are gone! Staff is friendly and the inside of the store is cute! Make a trip! Get one, two or maybe a dozen donuts to try! They're worth it!

If you do not want your traditional donut this is your spot! This place will hit the spot if you are in the mood for a special treat. I appreciate the fact that the chef imagines up some unique offerings. The coffee is exceptional too.

Fantastic doughnuts and I love the innovative flavor combos. I feel like you can't go wrong here, but the creme brûlée and chocolate ones are always good (they use tempered chocolate instead of the usual glaze). Go early if you want the minis! I wish they had more of the mini doughnuts We tried the Ube Oreo, Mango sticky rice, neopolitan, tiramisu, and creme brûlée. They were all good. I think mango sticky rice might have been my least favorite only because I'm picky on the type of mango used, but it was still good! Will be back to try more! The staff was also super friendly

Tiramisu. Donut. Don't even need to say more than that! Detour doughnuts makes incredible donuts - super soft and delicious! The flavors are unique and there's always new specialty donuts available. The tiramisu donut was 10/10!

Every time I come home to visit my parents, I always try to stop by to get a donut from here. Recently I popped in because I saw they had their apple cider donuts and these reminded me of an upscale version of the ones you get in the northeast. I'm so glad they had them since I was not planning to make a trip up north this year around the fall. Their tiramisu and crème brûlée are a must try if you ever stop by. I love a cream filled donut and the creme brûlée hits the spot every time. i love that they rotate new donuts in monthly! It gets me excited whenever I go home. While I'm not a big coffee drinker, they do sell some coffee drinks!

This is our favorite local donut place. They always have a variety of funky flavors to try and every single one always hits. They also offer lattes and different types of teas and drinks which are slightly on the pricier side, but all the flavors are still so eclectic that I don't mind treating myself to once in a while. Our all-time favorite flavor is a fig and mascarpone doughnut. Can't wait to come back here next time though.

The donuts are fresh and delicious. Service was very friendly and helpful. The place is modern, clean, and cute inside with a small amount of seating. I love that they have a large selection of espresso drink, not just drip coffee that you get from many donut shops. We'll definitely return and highly recommend if you're looking for donuts in the area.

Literally some of the best donuts I've ever had in my life! As soon as I pick a favorite flavor, a new one comes out that I'm obsessed with! I do stand that the mango sticky rice needs to be on the menu 24/7 because it was just THAT good

We finally got the chance to visit to Detour Donughnuts and Coffee. The people working here are super sweet! We went in on a Sunday morning, and it was busy! By 9:30 am, a lot of their more popular donuts were already sold out! A lot of people order ahead of time online for pick-up. We ordered the pumpkin mascarpone (not pictured, lemon raspberry donut eyeball, and apple fritters. The donuts themselves were pretty pricey ($6 for 1 donut). The apple fritters were 6 for $3. Overall, we had a good experience! The Pumpkin Mascarpone was unique (loved the pumpkin filling), and delicious! The Lemon Raspberry Donut tasted like a regular jelly donut! Wish there was more lemon flavor. My favorite were the apple fritters! The shop is small (a few tables indoors). Adjacent restaurants had seating outside that the donut shop's patrons were using (those restaurants were not opened yet)

Best doughnuts in DFW! I love how they make sure that all the ingredients are well balanced. I have been a customer since 2020 and both service and food quality has stayed consistent. Employment are always welcoming and sweet. Place is clean and well maintained.

I usually don't ever eat or crave donuts but Detour has the best donuts ever!! I love the creative flavors and how delicious each donut is. They have some limited flavors and they change seasonally but there hasn't been a flavor I tried that wasn't good!! Can't even pick a favorite because they're all so good. Highly recommend!

I live 40mins away but I come here almost every weekend because how much I like the donuts. I recommend to go to their website and do preorders because they sell out during weekends. The donuts are not tooth aching sweet and has contrast in flavors compared to other donuts shops. I could of eat a half dozen of these donuts and still feel great compared to eating 2 from others. During March rotation was blueberry goat cheese 4/5 and figs and pistachio 3/5 I never had goat cheese so was hesitant, but glad I tried it because it was great. Donut was fluffy, blueberry compote was sweet, and goat cheese was tangy. Their tiramisu and creme brûlée are my go to every time I stop by. The tiramisu is my favorite, nice coffee flavor with mascarpone filling is such an great flavor contrast. The creme brûlée custard is not too sweet and the sugar brûlée adds a nice crunch to the donut. The Neapolitan was okay 2/5 it was made well, I just don't prefer it.

The tastiness of the donuts and the presentation are yummy and excellent, respectively. The staff was helpful and friendly, it was the first time. I had a cortado, it was average. Sidebar about that later. The negatives for me: - price, for 2 people $31. $6 of that was an empanada - space. I like to work from coffee shops and there was very limited space inside. Also, the times I have the nephews and nieces visiting we go grab sugary breakfast but due to space, we wouldn't be able to accommodate the crew. If you're grabbing to-go,then this might be a better fit for you. They do package in boxes so that'll maintain the frosting on the decorate donuts :-). Side bar: Cortados. To be fair, most Cortados I've had in DFW are meh, so not a knock really, just disappointing. Recently I went to Puerto Rico and the Chick-fil-As there serve quality espresso drinks. Their delicious Cortados (as they all should be and not meh) are only $1.27. . So the contrast of the Cortados I've purchased costing $3.50 to $4.50 just highlights the disappointment in how we become conditioned to high price mediocrity.

The prices are a tad high but there's so many unique flavors. I was honestly disappointed though with the texture of the donuts. It was rather doughy and didn't have that nice light fluffy texture you're hoping for. This was trying quite a few donuts as well. The interior of this place is beautiful and the service is quite prompt. I hope they get the texture right because the flavors themselves weren't bad.

Love this place! The donuts are great, just get there early or pre order. They sell out fast. These are a little on the expensive side. It's hard to pay almost 10 dollars for 2 donuts, but once in awhile you just have to have your detour fix.

O-M- Doughnut The music, the customer service, the options, Ooh My.. Coconut & Lime, Pistachio, fritter & Glaze Holes are our choices this visit which was our first visit. We enjoyed EVERYTHING except the Coconut & Lime as it's dry and flavorless in our opinion. The others were all YUMMY & definitely something to go back to get again. The customer service alone would have me to revisit as I'm Big in customer service as the customer keeps the business going.

I had a great customer service experience with this place getting back to me quickly regarding my last-minute request for donuts for my granddaughter's birthday. Her theme was galaxy and she loves donuts, so we decided to do that instead of cake. these donuts that you can see in the picture below were made exactly as I specified, and really were above and beyond what I expected. They were glittery and had all the colors I asked for. And they tasted phenomenal! Everyone loved them, especially Evelyn! I will definitely be back for multiple occasions, and just to try they're very unique, gourmet looking donuts. This place is definitely a cut above the rest when it comes to donut places!

This place is phenomenal! I am not a big donuts eater but am already planning my next visit to Detour. The Cinnamon Roll was ginormous and still very delicate. The Old-Fashioned is the best I have ever tasted. It had a good crunch on the outside and was chewy on the inside. Delicious! I should have gone with my instincts and gotten the large Apple Fritter but opted for the mini ones and they were a tad bit dry. Small detail I can overlook. What's on the menu this weekend?? Haha.

Drove 45 minutes to try this place and I'll tell you what...it was worth every minute! We tried quiet a few donuts and my favorite BY FAR was the Pecan Pie! OMG the filling was so incredible! They are definitely a little pricey, but they are not your average donut shop. The amount of detail that goes into every donut AND the taste definitely make it worth the money. The Browned Butter Cinnamon Rolls and Apple Fritters were also a huge hit at our house. We will definitely be making a stop once a month or so!

Finally, made my way over to this donut haven. This jewel is tucked away of off FM422. The staff is great! The doughnuts are even better! The dark chocolate passion fruit doughnut was my favorite- the dark chocolate paired with the sweet and tangy passion fruit infused cream was delightful! The orange chocolate was also delicious, but felt more like a fall flavor- hopefully they'll bring it back for the fall season. The chamomile was simple in flavor and would pair well with a cup of tea. Did care much for the Crème brûlée, but was still a good doughnut. Looking forward to trying the upcoming flavors.

I'm sad to be writing this review. I had really high expectations for this place due to how GORGEOUS their donuts looked - not to mention all the unique flavors. But I have to be honest here - if you take away all the fancy decorations on the donut, the donut itself isn't very tasty. The texture is very similar to a cake donut - dense and not fluffy. My ideal donut texture is glazed Krispy Kreme donuts (soft but crunchy). All the icing/toppings are overly sweet. I could barely finish one donut. We got the taro coconut, passion fruit dark chocolate, and dirty chai donuts. I would recommend getting some house drip coffee to even out the sweetness. If you rate based on looks = 5 stars Taste = 2 stars Service = 5 stars (staffs are so friendly!) Tip: They switch up their special donuts monthly so check out their website for the flavors before heading in!

There's A LOT of donut places in the area, but most of them serve basic dunkin' style donuts. Detour, however, is truly gourmet. Yes they're pricey but on top of being tasty, they are also beautiful.

Best doughnuts in Frisco by far. So creative and delicious. Mt favorite is always the crème Brûlée. . But, I've yet to have one that wasn't delicious.

Let me offset the bad one star reviews from trolls: JOEY, RED, and COURTNEY. The business owner is vocal about keeping the mask mandate for her business after Greg Abbott reversed the mask mandate state wide. Some of us believe science. Wearing a mask is not a political move. Saving lives is not political so don't go leaving small business owners one star review because your tiny d*** energy is triggered. Don't like the mask mandate, don't come here. Nobody asked you to leave one star reviews telling her how to run her business. Leaving unfair one star review is not your freedom of speech. Don't you try to bully her into silence because you don't like to hear the truth. No shirt. No shoes. No pants. No mask. No service! This will probably be deleted

They have tranny doughnuts! I cannot wait to get home and stuff some sexually fluid doughnuts in my mouth yum! Who needs maple bars when you can have tranny bars or doughnut holes when you can have a tranny hole instead. As an ally of the lgbtqlmnopqrstuvwxyz community and a person of color. I applaud the brave and bold bakers at Detour Doughnuts for going out of their way to let everyone know doughnuts are inclusive. Happy Easter oh wait president biden changed today to tranny day! Hooray!

The donuts here are absolutely divine. While the traditional glazed and buttermilk donuts are absolutely perfect, one would be remiss to not take advantage of the rotating monthly menus which offer specialty creations that takes donuts to what I would call a spiritual level. The Everything Bagel: This one blew my mind. The whipped cream cheese center has hint of dill. The topping is perfectly seasoned like a savory Everything Bagel and the salt plays off the sweetness of the donut and cream cheese in the right ways. It's delicate yet powerful and hits all of the desired tastes. Honey Lemon Mascarpone: A perfect balance of sweetness from the honey and sour from the lemon, both of which cut through the creaminess of the mascarpone cheese. This is one I could daily forever. Creme brûlée: I mean - if you are a fan of the dessert, don't sleep on this one. Simple yet sophisticated. Creamy and crunchy Strawberry shortcake 2.0: To be honest, I did not have much hope for this because typically artificial flavors are added at other places, but MY GOD, the strawberries had been soaked in a lemon, salt, and sugar mixture to enhance the strawberry flavors. Add on the fresh whipped cream and Himalayan salt sprinkle, and it's an absolute winner. Sesame Salted Caramel: This is to be reminiscent of Korean sesame brittles of which I'm not familiar but my SO is and we are also both salted caramel enthusiasts and it was a delightful treat. Mini Oreo Donuts: These were good. I will say that compared to the rest, these seemed a little safe but still rather delicious. I would not kick them out of bed! Latte to go was also very delicious. I know it was meant for multiple servings, but I drank it all and have zero regrets. I would like to say that the preorder and curbside pickup was flawless. Also I am very happy they care enough about their staff and customers to continue the mask and distancing measures until we are in a safer place. Cannot wait to see what April will bring!

First time trying out Detour Doughnuts & Coffee and definitely not the last. Their selection of doughnuts was amazing, my personal favorite from today being Tiramisu. I also purchased a salted caramel latte and it was delicious! From the moment you walk through the door you're greeted by the kindest people and the place itself is super cute! Can't wait to go back

I absolutely love the strawberry matcha donut !! It is the best donut I've had in my life. Seriously, the strawberry flavor is there and the matcha cream filling is fully there too! I'm really thankful they fill it up because a lot of other places usually don't since matcha is premium. I'm a fan of their blueberry cake donut too! It is moist and rich in flavor. I've also tried their golden lavender latte. It is tasty I'm not sure what's in it but I definitely taste a bit of ginger and I'm a fan of ginger so I loved it. It is a bit sweeter than my preference and I didn't taste lavender so that's part of my reason for 4 stars. I also think the prices are steeper like $3 for 12 donut holes and I noticed I got charged .25 more per donut when I ordered online... otherwise a really GOOD donut shop and I'm glad I took this detour :D

It's been about 4 years since I've last been here since I no longer come to this area anymore but I'm so glad to see they are still open and going on strong. One of the best coffees you can get in the west frisco/little elm area. They also have delicious donuts!

First timer here at Detour doughnut. All their donuts look too pretty to eat. They do let you sample the donuts. So many varieties and options to choose from. Also have drinks and food as well. I decided to try the fresh berry Chantilly. It was delicious now I regret buying more. It does get very crowded on a weekend especially on a Sunday after church. Best to go early in the morning to beat the crowds. The staff is very friendly. I will come back to try other flavor donuts as well on their coffees.

This Donut shop is a bit "out of the way" for me, but I got a specialty donut from a friend who raved about their donuts. Owner-chef, Jinny Cho, has been favorably reviewed in "D" magazine. So, I decided to take a drive out there to check it out. I was not disappointed! I highly recommend Detour Donut . The shop is squeezed into a strip shopping mall, but that's to be expected since donut shops are usually small, and usually in strip shopping centers. There are a few ( about 6) small 2-seater tables inside, and a couple outside as well. The donut display case shows several options other than the usual sprinkles variety. For example, a Fig and Mascarpone donut. And there are different specialties weekly. I bought a fig and mascarpone donut and saw that there were a variety of gorgeous golden baked empanadas (beef, chicken and spinach). So I added a spinach version. The donut was excellent: the base donut itself had just the right texture -- not squishy, and not too firm. The creative topping was amazing. The empanada was likewise excellent with wonderful pastry filled with a spinach mixture. The parking lot is a bit limited, but donuts are "grab 'n go' so that's not an issue. If you are nearby give it a try; and if not, it's worth the drive.

Let's just say I went twice in two days back to back... I went here just on a lunch break and experienced the best chai(7 spice) I have had in a very long time ..(maybe even the best) it's all curated in house including the syrup. Every sip I was saying "omg this is good". It's such a cute little shop as well...very down to earth atmosphere here including the staff. Both days I encountered great customer service! The menu for speciality drinks is solid! Okay on to the other important part..the gourmet donuts! Texas has really great donuts...but I think this place has become first place in the donut shops I have tried so far(and I thought those were really good and untouchable). Detour donuts checks all the boxes in texture, variety,taste and more! It makes no sense that a donut can have the perfect crisp while also being soft, moist and packed with the flavors. I sampled the honey mascarpone ,lemon Cardamom and creme brûlée. Each donut did not disappoint! I have never been a cake donut fan but let me tell you this lemon cardamom donut really embodied "the cake" texture. So moist with a light buttery crisp. It's def on the pricey side so only buy these for ppl you love lol(even though many deserve this quality of donut).This is not a grab a dozen donuts for my coworkers I might like lol.... unless you plan to spend a lot of money.

Gaining COVID "19 pounds" while supporting local during this pandemic but I'm not even mad! Finally got a chance to visit Detour Donuts in Frisco after seeing so many enticing pictures of the food on Instagram! We were running errands in the area and decided to visit here first for breakfast. 5 star service and breakfast!! For about $28, we got - *here we go* 2 sea salt chocolate and almond donuts, 2 blueberry cake donuts, 2 jalapeño sausage kolaches, a half dozen apple fritters, an iced caramel macchiato + a hot chocolate. My oh my, everything was AMAZING!! Our favorites were the blueberry and apple fritters! 5/5 would recommend. *Pro Tip: Ask them to warm up the blueberry cake donut. Trust me. They have so many flavors to try, we can't wait to go again. They're also selling super dope merch that I'll look into next time. I got a chance to say hello to the owner, Jinny, who was really kind and made sure we had everything we needed, in spite of being so busy. Thank you, Jinny! COVID updates: They are currently requiring masks and are open for both carry out and back door pickup orders.

Not many places will get me to drive 45 mins just to grab some doughnuts, but Detour is literally so accurately named it's hurting my gas tank . I have definitely taken MANY detours to get my hands in their doughnuts. They offer special flavors that rotate on a monthly basis and that's what keeps me coming back. The owner is always experimenting with new flavor profiles that I can't typically find at any other dessert shop. Most doughnuts are too sweet for my personal taste, but I have had a few here that are on the lighter side. Recently tried their ube cookies & cream and the pistachio matcha and I LOVED both of these! The cream filling is so light and the doughnut is fluffy & airy. All the flavors were spot on and I wasn't overwhelmed by how sweet they were. They're only open Fri, Sat and Sun, but you can preorder their doughnuts the day before because some of the more popular flavors tend to sell out before noon. Tried to get my hands on their mango sticky rice doughnut today and they sold out by the time I got there around 11am .
