  • Do I review? Don't I review? Sigh. That's how awesome this place is. The cat's out of the bag though so I will. Geez, on their first night they apparently had 140 people at the bar and it's not super easy to find. That's the fun part. I think I might put a photo tutorial on my blog. But do I contribute to the masses coming here? Again, sigh... VIBE Amazing. Hidden. You feel like you're in a secret club when you come here. Cold Tea has all the nuances of a speakeasy and when you find it you want to bust out a holy hymn. The decor is phenomenal and was the brainchild of the owners. You're greeted by a dim sum cart when you pass the red light leading through the mall. Ripped printed green wallpaper and a cool font with the bar's name is on one wall. The Chinese lady preparing the dim sum wears a tuxedo-esque outfit complete with red bow tie. Inside the back area of the bar is encased with a leather banquette. Chairs and tables are removable for dancing; a cool mural by artist Mango Peeler adorns one wall and on another the letters "TBD" b/c the walls of art will rotate monthly. Tonight on the decks was a DJ from Colombia who plays Latin music from CIUT. She was great! People from out of town are already hearing about it. The guy next to me at the bar was from New York! The back patio is going to triple its capacity in the summer and it's a cool little Kensington Market secret. Serious score on that patio. And Oliver, the owner whom I got to talk to is really great. A true genuine guy who really has a creative eye and an ear to ground in what's happening elsewhere so he could make it happen here. I ATE/DRANK I had the "Sake To Me." Great drink! Ginger, Beer, Sake and Blood Orange are all mixed into a flavour punch yet it feels like a speak easy cocktail. All cocktails are $10. The Rolling Rock was refreshing and that was $4.75. 475 ml of PBR is also $4.75. A note about the Dim Sum: It says 3 for $5. You CANNOT get 3 of each choice (shrimp; shrimp and pork; or vegetarian). 3 for $5 is under one option (i.e. 3 veg dumplings). Kind of sucks because it forces you to pay more. Because of the miscommunication, I ended up having to pay more for the dim sum but that's fine. It was dinner! The pork buns (2 for $3) are delicious and worth it, especially if you are drunk or hungry. It also took about 25 minutes on a slow night for the dim sum to come; not sure how it would work on a busier night. OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK This place is the opposite of cold tea. It's like really good molten lava hot chocolate with marshmallows on top. The owners took something that didn't exist in Toronto and they made it happen. I'm hesitant to talk about this place but I think it's already becoming a big hit with the downtown set.
