""We chose a space with history and unique features to mirror that of cafes in Mexico," Veil Cafe Owner Benicio Baeza told Daily Coffee News. "Often, you'll find the coolest shops in spaces that ask a lot from the designer. We wanted to challenge ourselves and work with the historic nature of this space.""
""We felt it was only right to have this classic design in the historic Garment District," Baeza said of the rounded, fleur-de-lys-emblazoned centerpiece of the espresso bar."
""We wanted to have a mural painted there, and maybe sometime in the future we could do that, but people really love the projector," said Baeza. "We're trying to curate a vibe in here that's cozy and feels a little bit like home, so having cool films projected up on the wall kind of sets the tone.""
Veil Cafe opened in the Garment District of Kansas City, occupying roughly 800 square feet with a mezzanine and a historic brick interior. The design blends timeworn wood, black accents, antique and mid-century furniture, and warm Scandinavian-style lighting to create a timeless, casual atmosphere reminiscent of contemporary Mexican cafés that combine old buildings with new ideas. Customers order at a counter built from solid African sapele hardwood while a grinder prepares beans for a black La Marzocco GB5S espresso machine. Studio Ghibli films and other movies are projected on a white wall, and the cafe plans tastings, classes, and future film screenings. The multiroaster program features Missouri roasters including Hammerhand Coffee and Marcell Roasting Club.
