Old Drum Coffeehouse & Eatery

Living in the local area for 20+ years, this is my go to coffee shop. Located in beautiful downtown Warrensburg across from the county courthouse, this is a gem! Walking in, you can expect to be greeted with a warm smile from the baristas, the wonderful aroma of coffee and music playing in the background.

The baristas here are wonderful and are always willing to offer up some recommendations! They also have all sorts of paninis and the pizza here is phenomenal! They have tons of latte flavors including hazelnut, brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, mocha, white mocha, hawaiian salted caramel, sugar-free vanilla and sugar-free caramel. Those are just a few flavors including seasonal options! They also have merchandise including T-shirts, coffee cups, stickers and more!

The management is very involved with their customers and their business. Being from here, it’s nice to see owners who care so much and put pride in their buisness. Katie and Stephanie are always willing to answer any questions you may have or have a conversation and get to know their customers!

Whether you are wanting to grab a quick pizza with your family, study for a final, work on a group project or just relax, THIS is the place to do it. If i could give this place 6 stars, i would but unfortunately that’s not the case. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Delicious coffee and great vibes! I got a latte with oat milk and it was so yummy. You can taste the quality! I also loved the artwork and overall aesthetic. Fast and great service, too.

Man, I love this place. Staff members like Kalista, Maddie, and Gavin are very welcoming! The manager, Rachel, is always there to greet me and always recommends the best options if you're ever unsure about what to order. The people here love Warrensburg and it shows! There are a few things though that have gone without fixing and they're slowly tarnishing the feel of Old Drum.

1. The hours of operation vinyl on the front window is destroyed. At first I had to guess when they were open and rely on Google.
2. There are flies ALL OVER THE PLACE on the front window tables (it is not unusual to have to wipe off a fly or two from a table before sitting at those tables).
3. The top Vinyl banner at the front window states that this is a bakery, but they don't bake their goods, so that must be from before the ownership switch. They don't bake fresh breads anymore. That's old.
4. There isn't much of a theme to the coffeehouse and the decor has become pretty bland and plain.
5. Finally, the prices from the chalkboard menu and what one officially pays for are different. If you order a drink from the board, double check the price. It seems that their machine doesn't match up with the board and one could be paying more or sometimes less than what is posted.

This may look like a negative review, but it's not. I have been coming here since arriving in Missouri and I have never had a negative experience. They deserve 5 Stars and they do a lot with the local community of Warrensburg. I list these items because I care about the place and want to see it succeed. I can't wait to see what comes next for Old Drum!!! ❤

The best coffee in Warrensburg! A lovely place in beautiful downtown. Great for meeting friends, working on homework or enjoy a quick bite in a warm and friendly atmosphere. We will be back and would highly recommend to anyone passing through.

Two days in a row came in about an hour after opening for a cold brew. Both days was told that they are working on it. First day we left without buying anything, second day we settled for an iced americano. The iced americano was undrinkable, we didn't end up finishing it. Sad to throw two full drinks away.

Was a very disappointing experience because both of us are in a master's program and looking for a coffee shop (preferably local) to study in. If a staff member explained when to come back for cold brew, that the timing we came in we should not expect it, or offered an alternative would have understood. Sadly, we did not receive any feedback from the staff. Would have loved to support a local business nearby, but after two failed attempts we will not be coming back. We ended up driving to knob noster both days when we want to support Warrensburg business.

From the time you walk in to walking out it is a warm and welcoming feel. A good place to order coffee and a pastry and just hang out for a while. Coffee is good and better than a Starbucks. Will definitely be back.

I go there to meet my mentor. It is a nice place for a good conversation. I don't drink coffee, but the smoothies are yummy. I also enjoy their muffins, lemon/blueberry bread.

So delicious, sad I didn't discover this place sooner. I really like that they offer a refreshing variety from the ordinary selection of drinks, compared to most other coffee shops. Their food is delicious too, my new favorite spot.

I'm in town for business and this place is a short walk from my Airbnb. Great place to just sit, sip & catch up on my email. Excellent coffee, small but nice selection of pastries.

Went today on the opening day of the farmers market, so naturally they were busy. We had the sausage breakfast burrito and my daughter had the veggie burrito. Her only complaint was a lot of onion, which is easily fixable. Everything was reasonably priced. Our coffees got delayed coming out and one of the ladies brought them to us and was kind enough to give us 2 cards for free drinks on our next visit. Very generous! It was our first visit since the new ownership and renovations. We'll definitely visit again on our Saturdays downtown.
