Café Du Burg — Restaurant in Warrensburg

I'm so sorry 🙈 I am the definition of a coffee snob and this place tries really hard & the staff is super kind, but the coffee just isn't it for me. As with most cafés in & around Warrensburg I will order my flat white to sit & in a mug & it comes out in a take away cup. Not a huge deal, but I do ask for it to be remade. Unfortunately many places will just haphazardly dump the contents of my flat white into a mug thus ruining the foam on top of the drink. This particular flat white still has too much foam even after being dumped and is much closer to an unstable latte (see the large amount of bubbles). Flat whites should have a small amount of micro foam. The milk in du Burg's flat white tastes slightly over steamed leaving a bitter & sour taste in your mouth with a fat amount of foam on the top. I don't judge on latte art because I believe taste is more important than appearance, but I would imagine with the shape of the dine-in mugs being deep rather than round the baristas would struggle to make really beautiful latte art here. The price as well makes this the most expensive flat white I've had in Missouri and was still not done correctly unfortunately.

Please note the baristas are great & I gave their flat white 3 chances before reviewing! Super nice people & I will continue to visit and just maybe avoid anything that involves steamed milk.

Absolutely amazing place! Breakfast sandwich was DELICIOUS, the shaken latte perfect for any coffee lover, pumpkin muffin was delectable, and the owners were incredibly welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. 10/10 recommend to ANYONE to stop by!! They’re certainly on mission for the Kingdom. Plus have super fun creative events at night (music, crafts, charcuterie board night, etc) which makes for a unique and different friends gathering...

As a small business owner myself, I love supporting local spots—and this coffee shop is one of my favorites! The staff is always incredibly friendly and go out of their way to accommodate my dairy and gluten allergies, which I really appreciate. It's also a great place to have a networking meeting or just relax with a cup of coffee. PLUS they’re dog friendly & my Doberman absolutely loves their peanut butter pup cups—he knows exactly where we’re headed as soon as we get close! A true gem for both...
