The Alley (Bloor)

The Alley’s Bloor shop is the Koreatown Deerioca stop: 621 Bloor Street West, Monday–Thursday 12:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m., Friday–Sunday 12:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m., phone (416) 551-2577, posted on the-alley.ca. Same house pearls and cane syrup as College Park, on the Bloor streetcar instead of Yonge. First-timers: Deerioca milk; this is not a different menu. No reservations. Official close is earlier than College Park (9 on weeknights, 10 on weekends) — do not assume an 11 p.m. Yonge clock. Useful when you are already in Koreatown; not a reason to skip Icha or CHICHA if tea-quality is the point.
