Lovvvvved sitting here to do my reading and journaling! The ambiance is so great. Customer service was excellent too. I ordered the toasted coconut latte and while I was waiting for it, I thought, "oh maybe I shouldn't have ordered that. It's going to be so sweet." And you know what? It was so incredibly balanced and NOT overly sweet and I enjoyed it so dang much! read more

Veil Cafe - Toasted coconut latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

This place has amazing matcha!! I definitely recommend over some of the boba spots around town. They are pretty quick to make the orders. This is after whisking the matcha ceremonial style as well!! Regardless, it's worth any wait because the freshness of the matcha tastes so good. It can get pretty loud inside the actual cafe but there's plenty of seats and tables inside or outside. Will be my new go to for matcha read more

Veil Cafe - Bramble Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

New coffeeshop in the neighborhood and it is super cute! Food: n/a Unable to try on this date of visit. Atmosphere: 4/5 This is ideal for dates, family, friends, and even those who have dogs! This is a cute coffeeshop and aesthetically pleasing, especially with its loft-style design. It is not something you typically see in the Midwest, but more like a place you'd find in New York or California. Just one thing, their music playlist defo needs an update because it wasn't giving the same vibe as their aesthetics. Service: 5/5 It was great. Fast and efficient! Matcha: 1/5 I have tried more than 50 coffeeshops (that offer matcha in their menu) just here in Kansas City. Due to this, I created my own ranking and this is based upon my own taste palate, likings, and expectations. Given that theyre location is a vibe and interior is so aesthetically pleasing, I was hoping that their matcha would also be good. However, (at the time I visited Veil) I ranked them 41/50 for their iced matcha latte (no syrup). It was too watery(or perhaps I only got a watered-down one). It has been mor than a couple months since I went tho, so their matcha drinks might have improved! read more

Super cute and cozy vibe! Was full on a weekend. Yummy iced ube latte, good seasonal flavors, very yummy lemon cruffin. They have a neighborhood discount! Would return. Nice baristas. read more

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. read more

Definitely found this on humbug off downtown around Quality Hill area.. you'd missed it if you're not from around the area. Located right on the corner where, truth be told parking is a challenge. Up stairs and newly open cafe, has a unique concept & setup. Upon entrance there's table seating to right, a projected movie was on the wall, and to the right seating on top second level. Pass the seating is the order counter and parallel a bench/tables/chair combo seating arrangement. Two hit matchas to go- one with earl grey (Soft Fog) and the other with ube! I'll just say, you can't go wrong with ube flavor... EVER! The drinks were superb! read more

Good vibes all around! I love the alley/backside entrance to Veil which makes it feel almost like a speakeasy. Friendly service and house made syrups are a bonus. I tried a cold brew with the blueberry syrup and it was great. They have a number of small tables throughout which makes it a nice place to work from. read more

Such good espresso and nice place to be in! Not too much room that every one is miles apart, feels like you're actually in a public space, in the best way. read more

Veil is a great addition to the Union Hill area. Tucked back in an alley, the space is warm and inviting. Also when the weather is better the outside seating around the corner will be nice. The coffee is delicious. Rich and dark, but the flavors are why you need to come here. They are a little different than other places and not too sweet. I got the Ube, which from the picture you can't see in my cold brew. BUT I promise my coffee is purple. My friend really liked her blushed matcha. The blushed means that it came with a little strawberry. 10/10. Will be back!! read more

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! read more

Veil Cafe - Matcha cortado and matcha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

Incredibly cozy coffee shop, the drip coffee is excellent. Wait time for my drink was less than a minute. Seating is limited but there are plenty of outlets for studying. read more

Veil Cafe - Shared study spot - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

I went to veil for the first time Saturday. I asked the barista what to get for a sweet matcha drinker and she suggested the ube matcha which I got. Once i got the ube matcha and stirred, it was barely any matcha and not sweet. :( I decided that I'm going to give them one more try since I went when they were doing the vintage sale (which 10/10 for that) read more

The coffee here is pretty, as well as the matcha! I think the space is a little bit chaotic and they haven't exactly figured out the flow of everything yet. There are often quite a few people who camp out, making it difficult to ever sit and have a coffee. Additionally, the space is very hard to find with the entrance in back, they could use some signs or directions from the street. read more

I love the coffee and vibe here. Probably my favorite new coffee shop in KC. Would recommend. read more

This is a tough one to review since there was so much that I disliked about my experience, yet I really can't take stars away for what they have created. The place was packed shortly after noon on a Saturday - congratulations for being so popular in such a secluded space. The address in 800 Broadway, but you will need to go to the back alley and navigate a flight of stairs to find the small cafe. Once inside I was assaulted with a short wait to order, a much longer wait to get my drink and no place to sit down and enjoy my beverage after reaching my destination. Although it took awhile to get my double espresso, I can't fault the staff - all three employees were hustling. The other thing that annoyed me because of the crowd was the noise level - with coffee equipment, dozens of conversations, quasi-loud background music and a high ceilinged space with nothing to absorb the sound, the din was deafening on my old fragile ears. I was glad there was no seating so I could escape the sound onslaught and get rid of the claustrophobia I was feeling. My double shot sourced from Marcel Roasters was a wonderful boost of caffeine while I walked back to my vehicle to venture 30 blocks to another coffeeshop that I could savor a beverage and pastry. Even though my experience was less than optimal, I witnessed hordes of younger, hipper urban dwellers enjoying their beverages in a crowded loud room with anime film projected on the wall. I truly wish this place continued success, so I don't feel guilty when I drive past to a more tranquil and less claustrophobic cafe. read more

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. read more

Veil Cafe - Matcha latte with oat milk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

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! read more

Veil Cafe - latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Sit down coffee shop with no where to sit? It seems more like a hipster hang out spot to me. Mediocre pastries and drinks and I am not paying $10 for a matcha again. read more

Hard to find a spot this good that still feels like a neighborhood secret. The place has a whole vibe that's hard to explain -- you just have to go. Veil just gets it. Showed up on a Tuesday and it was packed, says everything. Coffee is dialed in, the pastries are dangerously good, and the energy in there is just different. The staff is so friendly and fun. The kind of place you text your friends about immediately after. My new regular. read more

Veil Cafe - Raspberry Cream Cruffin w/ Iced Ube Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

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 environment they've created is great definitely somewhere I'd go to get my work done (not super loud even in the small space). I got the Banana Bread Latte iced which was yummy but not anything special. Somewhere I'd definitely pop in but I'm not going out of my way. read more
