"Cold Tea—whose name nods to the Chinese restaurants that would serve beer disguised in teapots afterhours—is so hidden within Kensington Mall that it could almost be called a speakeasy. LED and fluorescent lights gleam on tiled white walls; in the warmer months, the back patio is one of the neighborhood's best places to see and be seen. Kensington's affluent hipsters can't get their fill of Cold Tea's tasty cocktails and dim sum. The cocktails don't take themselves too seriously. La Flama Blanca, a blend of chili-infused tequila, pineapple, and mint, is ideal in summer, and there are a couple of craft brews on tap, too." - Todd Plummer
