Cold Tea

Editorial Review

Named after the Toronto-bred phenomenon that sees restos in Chinatown serve cold beer in teapots long after last call, this clandestine watering hole is tucked away at the end of Kensington Mall's nondescript hallway. Once you make it past the cheery Asian lady who guards the secret entrance and hocks cheap dim sum, wet your lip with an asian-inspired cocktail or a frosty tallboy. The blank walls, exposed pipes, and utilitarian tables suggest that owners Oliver Dimapilis,Stacey Welton and Matthew LaRochelle hate attention, but the early buzz has been deafening, and the massive back patio secures their spot's place as the new King of Kensingtoin Market.
