5 h. ago Toronto neighbourhood about to get new matcha cafe with a speakeasy in the back

A matcha cafe that shares its space with a new speakeasy bar is coming soon to a Toronto neighbourhood.If there are two things Toronto can't seem to get enough of, it's matcha and speakeasies. I mean, seriously, how many more matcha shops and not-so-secret bars can we get before the city imposes some sort of limit on them?At the same time, I'm not complaining.
