Fresh bread on the way, before it sells out

A bakery is a small, quick stop that only works if it's genuinely on the way and hasn't sold out or shut for the afternoon. Mini Detour finds one along your route and shows how little the detour costs.

Bakery: why the timing matters

Bakeries close early and can sell out well before their posted time, so their hours matter more than the short stop suggests. Mini Detour checks the opening window against your arrival and keeps the stop quick in your plan.

Bakery: how Mini Detour plans the stop

Drop a bakery into your plan with its short dwell time, and Mini Detour ranks the options by detour. You see which one is open at your arrival and how many minutes it adds.

Open on arrival

Asking whether a shop is open now is the wrong question: Mini Detour checks the opening hours for the time you arrive and gives every result a clear verdict.

Questions

Is a bakery stop worth planning at all?
For a two-block detour, maybe not; for anything more, the minutes add up. Mini Detour shows the exact detour so a small stop stays a small stop.
Does it know a bakery closes at midday?
It reads the opening hours where they're known and checks them against your arrival, flagging a bakery that would already be shut.
