Detour Surf & Coffee
Welcome to Detour Surf & Coffee, a hidden gem nestled on the second floor at the stunning Mancora Beach in Peru. This vibrant café is not just a place to grab a quick bite; it’s an experience that caters to both surf enthusiasts and coffee connoisseurs alike. Owned by a friendly Canadian who brings a touch of warmth and a community vibe, Detour Surf & Coffee is the perfect starting point for your adventures in Mancora.
The café specializes in a delightful mix of healthy offerings, including mouthwatering smoothie bowls that are not only visually appealing but bursting with freshness. Picture this: a colorful acai bowl topped with daily fresh fruits that look as fantastic as they taste, leaving your palate dancing with joy. The menu also boasts a fantastic selection of coffee, prepared with expertise on an authentic espresso machine. Customers rave about the Americano, particularly highlighting its bold, rich flavor—a must-try for strong coffee lovers!
One customer, Thomas M, captures the essence of this café perfectly with his remark about the “best coffee in Mancora.” Couples seeking a light yet fulfilling breakfast can indulge in the vegan toasted sandwiches, made with homemade pesto and vibrant veggies like red peppers and avocado (with an option to swap mozzarella). The delicious blend of flavors will have your taste buds singing with satisfaction, just like another happy patron, H, who left raving about her “unreal” Americano.
Beyond the culinary delights, Detour Surf & Coffee stands out as a welcoming hub for surfers. With skilled staff who are ready to guide you towards perfecting your waves, your beach days are about to get a whole lot better. As James Arruda noted, the relationship you form with the staff—especially Chino—can provide you with an intimate and local perspective on surfing at Mancora, making it an adventure worth experiencing.
Atmosphere-wise, the café exudes a laid-back, surfer-friendly vibe, presenting a seamless blend of robust coffee culture and the spirit of adventure. Bright, inviting, and filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, it’s the ideal space to unwind, plan your day, or even strike up a conversation with fellow travelers.
