Tao Tea Leaf

Tao Tea Leaf. Take your pick from 180 varieties of tea, including chai, chamomile and everything in between, plus some award-winners (several of Tao Tea Leaf’s blends have taken top prize at the North American Tea Championship). For co-founders Tao Wu and Mingzhu Gao, tea is both a business and a pleasure. They strive to share the world’s best brews with their customers. Beautiful tea ware is also part of the experience. Many items, such as the cast iron teapots, are steeped in Chinese tea-drinking tradition.

La Carnita

Locally designed with the help of some of Toronto’s best street style artists, La Carnita is the spot to enjoy delicious tacos, a handful of churros, run through a mixtape, and wash it all down with a fresh cocktail or beer. At the heart of what they do is always to serve up a dynamic menu, and connect with the community through their love of art and music.
