    ENTRANCE IN BACK OF BUILDING... Did everyone say this and I just forgot? Or did nobody say this and that's part of the excitement? Hope this helps you!! WHAT I'D KEEP: Definitely liked the vibe. WHY I'D TWEAK: Was disappointed that the only options for milk were whole and oat.

    VANILLA MATCHA
    Liz G.

    We tried Veil for the first time and it was a 10/10 for me. I tried the vanilla matcha and it was good 7/10 i wish it had a little more matcha but the flavor was good. BUT i did get another drink, matcha with banana and the barista recommended an UBE cold foam and it was SOO GOOD, (thxs so much for the recommendation) even though there were alot of people first thing in the morning they were kind and it went by super fast! i would 100% come again.

    Came here on a chilly Friday morning and absolutely loved the vibe. I love the projector as a nice touch which really made the ambiance feel nice and inviting. The drinks itself were delicious, and not too sweet. Their ceremonial matcha is nice and creamy! The baristas were friendly and made really good recommendations as well. I can't wait to come back!

    The staff was incredibly kind, and I love their simple standard menu but they also have signature syrup combinations that are espresso and matcha friendly! They have a selection of pastries from Scratch bakery and plenty of indoor and outdoor 2-4 top tables. A very welcoming and warm place to be and my cold brew was great quality- love that they have Ube syrup! Parking is downtown street parking, so good to plan ahead for that :)

    Enjoyed my coffee, but didn't enjoy the price! Very average--definitely a popular place to try right now though! Love the ambiance. Was suprised at how busy it was midday. Not quiet enough to study without feeling like you're taking up tables. Didn't try any of the food. My friend got her latte iced and she couldn't taste any coffee and didnt finish her drink. Just something to think about: sweeter drinks with a very mellow coffee taste.

    Matcha latte with oat milk

    Their matcha is ceremonial grade, which was basically an automatic win. They make it with oat milk (although I'm sure they have other types of milk.) Staff was friendly. The place was aesthetic and enough seating. The cafe is around the corner of Eight and Bank Street.

    cool little spot in an area of town that could use some more activity. the latte was a little milky but it was also super busy when i went in (slay) so they had to be cranking out drinks. the shop is pretty small and doesn't have a ton of seating, so it's better for grabbing a drink to go. wanna go back and try the matcha next time!

    I've been multiple times and every single time the baristas are smiling and genuinely happy to serve you. Their banana matcha is SO GOOD!!!

The reason why I am not giving this place 5 stars is because of the lack of customer service. Both the cashier and barista were not very friendly. They were brisk. I tried to engage in a converation about their pastries and they seemed disinterested and just wanted to move on to taking orders and making drinks. They weren't even busy. I arrived an hour after they opend and the place was 10% full. The food was good. I got the avocado toast and with a littl more salt and hot sauce; it was delicious. The place also smelled amazing. I was engulfed in the aroma of cinnamon, sugar and butter and roasted coffee. I could not have been happier except for the lack of warmth and feeling of connection and a sense of community one often gets in an independent coffee shop. The hot latte I got was good. Oat-milk was $1.25 extra which I thought was a bit steep for Kansas City. But I guess prices/inflation affects us all. The ham and cheese croissant I got was super delicious. It was better than the avocado toast. I would get the croissant again. The rooftop area was a vibe. There were more people up there talking so it had better energy. I think on the first and second floor, most people were just working and on their laptops, so it was overall very quiet.

With a variety of flavors (both standard and unique) there is truly something for everyone. I tried an elderberry latte and enjoyed it. I haven't seen elderberry syrup offered at other shops and it was super fun to try something new and different. The vibes inside are perfect for studying or visiting - a little dark and moody on the interior and perfect for spending a couple hours.

However, after having spent a fairly small amount of hours eating an alarming amount of BBQ (and ice cream) I just needed a place to sit and digest without eating. My local friend mentioned Thou Mayest as an opportunity to sit for a bit without having to eat. I was looking at their non-coffee options and saw they had a local kombucha on tap, perfect to help with my overstuffed belly. On top of that I did buy a bag of beans; just because I don't drink coffee meant that I didn't have people that enjoy it. More importantly, the kombucha was pretty good and it was nice to sit and relax a little in a pretty cool space. My friend and I had a large space to ourselves near the front hangout area that was like a cross between a outdoor camping space.

The space is very bright and cute - great for a visit to read or doodle (I did a little doodling of the shop during my visit).

I had a hot hazelnut latte and it was just okay, the flavor was pretty bland in my opinion and it was automatically served in a to go cup which bums me out. I like to sit and enjoy my coffee right there and love a good hot mug, it's part of the visit experience to me.

I do appreciate the good quality though and thankfully had some time to kill. It isn't a place I would go if I was in a rush, but it great place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. There wasn't a line when I went in, but there were quite a bit of people seated around. I got an iced hazelnut oat latte that tasted great. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely bring my laptop and hang out.
