Great service and the oat milk cortado was one of the best I've had. The spouse got a vegan oat milk hot chocolate and she was rather happy with it as well. They were out of vegan noms though. read more

Coffee spot of my dreams. Small seating area inside, with a nice sized patio in a great, residential location. I'm always in and out of there with my coffee in under 5 minutes and the baristas are so friendly. read more

Best coffee in Missoula, hands down. The baristas are all great, and they all know what they're doin. If you know anything about coffee, then you know that who's making your espresso has a big impact on the taste. That said, everyone who works here kills it every time. I've never been served a bad cup. Cool vibe inside too. And oh, the bakery stuff is pretty solid as well. Made in house I believe. Love this place read more

Easily one of the worst coffees I've ever had. It tasted like warm water that was ran through grounds that have been recycled multiple times. Only 3 options for syrups and nothing sugar free. The place was nice and clean, but the coffee was terrible. read more

This place, hands down, has the best coffee in town! It is perfectly roasted, and the baristas really know what they are doing. Their baked goods are DELICIOUS and they also have many amazing vegan options! Yummy sandwiches too! read more

Drum Coffee - Exterior of Drum Coffee, Broadway. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

I got one of the best almond milk lattes I've ever had here. Honestly this place is shockingly good. They have decent outdoor seating in the front, and picnic tables and a swing set in the back. Very family friendly. Only downside is they don't have WiFi. read more

I was in love with Drum Coffee before I even set foot through the door. The shop was recommended to us by a friend from LA that lives in Missoula now for school and did some researching of my own only to find out that the drummer from the Fitz and the Tantrums and his wife own this shop. Their homemade chai has quite a reputation and I was eager to try it but when we arrived they had run out that morning and were in the midst of making more. Sad as that may be, I have such an appreciation for scratch making syrups and a pit fall of homemade products is that sometimes you run out and that's okay. Instead I ordered an almond milk latte and a cardamom snickerdoodle cookie. The almond milk latte was perfection but I wasn't crazy about the clear glass it was served in--made it difficult to hold and reminded of Coffee Bean's old school for-here cups. No bueno. The cookie was out of this world. It was the size of hand and it was sweet, spice, and everything nice. One of the best cookies I've ever had. As if I wasn't already in love, I perused their whole bean selection and they have a variety called 'Fresh pots!' with a drawing of Dave Grohl. I don't need to explain this--either you get it for you don't. Love ya'll Drum Coffee! Keep doing what you're doing! read more

Super chill coffee spot in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. Funky, blue building with a deck and pretty trees in keeping with neighboring homes makes it feel cozy and neighborly. Music is LP albums played from a turntable, which was cool. I opted for a macchiato (wow, it was Very Very dark - almost too much) and pumpkin babka to celebrate the change of season. The babka was bready with no pumpkin spice flavor at all, so it was a bit of a disappointment. It was nice to have both white and turbinado sugar syrups available (the second time I returned the turbinado was missing). I returned a couple days later and had a latte which was very tasty, hot, and well made. The service crew was friendly and helpful, and the vibe was nice. Drum has its own bean blends, packaged in easily identifiable, brightly designed bags which I saw around town for sale in various small markets. Smart marketing, Drum! As an aside: I love buying cool, locally branded tshirts and sweatshirts as travel souvenirs. As an out-of-town customer I was intrigued by the branding designs and interested in a Drum Coffee zip up hoodie, but found the $52 price tag steep. Also, the shirt design did not identify "Missoula, Montana" as Drum's home, which would have enticed me to buy one despite the price as a memory of my visit. I realize this has nothing to do with the quality of the coffee, nor should it. But, they sell branded stuff and so those are my thoughts. ;-D read more

This is my first review of a coffeehouse outside of this universe. I have toured the great coffeeshop cities of Portland and Seattle and Los Angeles. I have discovered hidden coffeeshop gems in unexpected places and the middle of nowhere USA. I have made pilgrimage to the great Kiva Coffeehouse reigning humbly over the beautiful rock canyons of Escalante. But now. But NOW! ...I find myself dumbstruck by a coffeehouse that doesn't belong to our time and place. And that is because it belongs so terribly more than anything else. Drum satisfies all high expectations, and then it does not stop. It goes further than that. And one discovers more and more of it--each new piece more unbelievable than the last. Because there is no visible mock-up of the standard of perfection, we can only base it off of the greatest thing we experience. I have never been able to believe this about a coffeehouse before, but Drum Coffee is the perfect coffeehouse. Everything may be subjectively relative, but Drum has gone so above and beyond what is expected or possible that I can comfortably call it the perfect coffeehouse, for the sake of comparison. Getting down to brass tacks... * The food and pastry's are daily baked in house. * The coffee is a locally roasted signature Drum blend that made mentally double-take. It warrants a whole review of its own. * The whole place is so clean and bright and fresh and cozy. * The ambience is friendly and energetic and comfortable. Beautiful tiling, furnishings and fixtures. * The architecture itself is simple and genius. So much sunlight. * The barista, Kendra is the top one percent of the top one percent of humanity. What a wonderful, positive, vital person! She is passionate about Drum an has a lot of interesting things to say about it! Great conversations. If Drum were a lesser coffeehouse I would return JUST to see Kendra again. * The location is perfect. In the middle of a neighborhood. I am now a returning customer forever. Drum is my new favorite thing. Visiting Drum Coffee left me with an impression similar to driving through the Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park. I'm left with the mental impression that something beautiful and grand has just occurred. read more

We were passing through town and stopped here to recharge - and we're glad we did! The coffee was strong, the pastries delectable, and the folks working there super friendly. read more

Awesome little cafe! In a great neighborhood with ample parking and good accessibility. They have lots of outdoor seating as well, which makes a great place on a sunny day! In addition to the full espresso bar menu, they have a light lunch options and also a few pastries. Service was So friendly and helpful! I was refreshed by the kindness of the gal who took our order. The quality of the coffee was good (although they were out of cold brew when we were there). We got a couple iced americanos and a latte - all of which were good! I will return when we are back in town for sure! read more

Great coffee! Great service! And, so convenient! The staff is friendly and the atmosphere will definitely wake you up! There is a drive through, as well! read more

The tables out back under the trees are perfect for a Covid getaway with a great cup of coffee

No need to go anywhere further. This is your spot. Local vibes, a nod to historic espresso with their Faema E61 The barrista was holding conversations while simultaneously pumping out drinks the entire time I was there. read more

A great cup of coffee and the best molasses cookie you will ever eat. I love both locations but especially love the drive-through.

My husband adores this place and he's a coffee snob. I, on the other hand, am not. Their lattes are okay and I only frequent here when he really wants to go. I can never taste the flavoring in my lattes. Tastes like straight up milk and espresso. Not my thing. Their baked goods are usually tasty and great quality. read more

Love this place. Great baristas and the best damn iced Americano in town. Always shaken, never stirred.

This has some great things going for it, atmosphere, patio, ambiance, community spirit. Unfortunately, I don't think the coffee is one of them. It taste bitter and burnt. Like a Starbucks coffee left on to long or reheated. I suppose next time I will try a tea when I sit on the patio read more

What a great find! Very "instagramable" AND they have great coffee . The breakfast lil eggie sandwich was fantastic. Definitely recommend this local cafe. read more

Not too bad, I'm pretty set in my ways of coffee but this place deserves a little praise. They have great coffee and some not so great according to my palate. Definitely should try read more

I am visiting from Phoenix and wanted to try some of the local coffee, and I was not disappointed at Drum!! They have oat milk, which is my favorite, so that was a nice surprise. As it was my first time in, I asked the baristas which pastry was their favorite and they recommended the Olive Oil Loaf! It wasn't overpowering or dense and it almost melted in my mouth. I also ordered an 8oz oat milk cappuccino for here and the espresso they use is delicious! I asked the barista what beans they used for it and he gave me a quick and detailed answer. I was pleased to hear they roast their beans locally and have such a good variety! I am a barista back home and we roast our beans locally too, so I thought it was cool. Love the ambience inside and the overall vibes of the establishment. There isn't much seating, but there's enough to sit and enjoy a cup of quality coffee and get some work done! I would highly recommend Drum to locals and tourists! read more

Drum Coffee - oat milk cappuccino and olive oil loaf - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Yummy classic coffees. Locally roasted coffee. I got the orange cinnamom syrup and it was tasty. Plus everyone is friendly

Great coffee, but staff had a strange attitude and there was no WiFi. I'd recommend this spot for an in and out to-go coffee or a spot to hang out on the patio after a hike or ride. Not a good place to work or hang out though. read more

Everyone with an art degree and an ironic moustache seems to be getting into the coffee game, and there's tons of competition out there. If you want hipster pretension, this is not the place. If you want overpriced and overwrought drinks with wordy flavor profiles and served with a sneer by a mincing music blogger, this is not your jam. If you want to feel like you're in the Apple Store while you sip your overmilked latte from a big red bucket, hit one of the corporates. If, as part of your coffee experience you accept standing around texting on your cellular devices...Oh NO-no. However, if you want the best espresso drinks for miles around, in a beautiful space built around human interaction, served by warm and knowledgeable staff, and if you want delectable savory baked goods with your perfect coffee while you rock out to a superb vinyl collection; then look no further than Drum! My first experience there was perfect, and I will return again and again. The cortado is a little cup of perfection. read more

Love this place! I travel quite often and when I heard about the baked goods and good brew I tried it out. The staff was great, a super welcoming environment and the olive oil cake was to die for!! I am not much of a coffee drinker so I was pleased to find that they do offer chai. It was perfect, exactly the way a chai should be. Nice and spicy and not made of simple syrup like most coffee houses do. You can tell that they take care in everything they do there. The space is beautiful. I highly recommend paying Drum a visit when in Missoula. I hear the owner is quite the drummer as well! Thanks everyone for making my visit a memorable experience. read more

Drum Coffee - Breakfast sandwich was divine! In addition to the olive oil cake that didn't make it to the photo stream. The brioche bun was perfection. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

"Perfect" doesn't begin to describe it. From the only-vinyl music array to the even-smoother coffee (roasted exclusively for this place, and they sell beans, too, which taste oh-so-glorious). Light sweets and savory bites also served to accompany the coffee, and on Sundays from 11-3 they serve espresso over Big Dipper ice cream! Heaven! read more

Let me be clear: their coffee is great. My three star review is mainly because they do not have WiFi and it is little small inside. The decor is nice and they have one or two free refills on drip coffee. They also have some decent food. read more

Drum Coffee - Cortado and a vegan treat! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

Drum coffee is the best! I am in town for 6 weeks and live close by. It has been my favorite coffee joint in town, by far. The service is great, the coffee is served well (Americano with a proper pull. One size, so as to be a good ratio of liquids), the breakfast sandwich (bacon and egg) was delightful and the space is a gem. They play records so maybe you can put in a request...or bring your own? read more

Drum Coffee - Americano to go. Just waiting on my breakfast sandy :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Missoula, Montana

This is my roommate's favorite coffee shop in Missoula, and we've tried many. The drip coffee is tasty and the americano is your standard, but both are a bit overpriced- especially compared to other local shops. The atmosphere is what sells the place though, cozy but cool. It would be a great place to catch up with friends or go on a coffee date, but maybe not the best for studying. 9/10 or 5/5 read more

Coffee so good it doesn't need cream or sugar! Super friendly staff and great music on vinyl all day.

Excellent atmosphere. The staff is warm and receptive. Very authentic Missoula vibe. Coffee is prepared with an extreme attention to detail. It also helps that the owners are super cool. read more

Best coffee shop in Missoula hands down. Records spin while you chat up the locals and espresso served on an excellent espresso machine and tasty treats to boot! Cheers. read more

I came to Drum for their "soft opening" mostly to check out the new place close to my office. I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was great, and I'm sure as they get on their feet it will continue to improve! I ordered an espresso macchiato and was very pleased with the balance their "Drum Coffee" blend had. Black Coffee Roasting roasted a special blend for them that is a mix of the BCRC Black and Tan with an Ethiopian bean added to change it up a bit. Additionally, they have a donation system where each trip in you can select a local charity to donate to. This is a great local coffee shop in a nice neighborhood that seems invested in their community. I can't wait to see what they will grow into and I will definitely be back! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and delicious, authentic coffee. They donate a percentage to local charities, and allow customers to vote. The kitchen is small, but they are accommodating--THEY DO NOT NEED MORE VEGAN OPTIONS!! Ambiance is relaxing and intimate--would love to visit in the summer when the garage door opens up outside. Will be back next time in in Missoula! read more
