Five stars all the way. The charm of Mate Factor was immediate and undeniable, we settled into one of the outdoor tables in their covered patio garden with our dogs and instantly felt at ease. It was the perfect, relaxed start to our day. The mate drinks are a standout, offering a fantastic range from traditional preparations to more playful, creative flavors. And the breakfast sandwich? Absolutely unbelievable. Fresh, flavorful, and hearty. Between the welcoming atmosphere, dog-friendly setup, and genuinely great food and drinks, this is a spot we'll be returning to again and again. We can't wait to go back. read more

It's a cult. The Twelve Tribes cult runs this place. If you patron them you are supporting modern-day slavery, severe child abuse, and A CULT! Do Not Eat Here!​ read more

I wish I had known before heading to this place that they only make lattes with Mate and not actual coffee. I had the Mayan Mocha and my husband got the Vanilla hazelnut. Both were very bland and runny. The Mayan mocha was almost like having cinnamon and sugar added to water. I am a coffee and chocolate person so maybe that's why I did not like the drinks at all but maybe someone who has an affinity for Mate would like it? read more

We absolutely love Mate Factor and visit every time we are in Savannah. The cinnamon roll and Mayan mocha are my favorite items to order. They have a few breakfast and lunch sandwich options which are incredible. We always get a loaf of bread to take home. We are aware of the 12 tribes and honor their beliefs, as this is part of why the foods are so wholesome and delicious. This trip we met Earl Gray, the sweet cat who hangs out on the outdoor patio. The ambiance feels like you are in a treehouse of Pinterest dreams and the dulcimer music playing is so magical. The staff is always pleasant, kind, and helpful. read more

Okay, trying two things Ive never had before. The blueberry Pecan muffin is amazing. The service is great. The person serving was kind and engaging. I came here after my niece forgot I didn't have a key to her dorm room. It was a quick walk from SCAD's Chatham Apartments. The space is soothing and relaxing. A great place to read a book. read more

Even though the café was closed when I stopped by, Jeremy (hopefully I got his name right!) still waved me in, handed me a treat just for showing up, and gave me a quick tour. Seriously, who does that anymore? The place has amazing energy. It just feels good the moment you walk in. You can tell it's built with a lot of love and intention. Also... the date bar? Absolutely incredible. Not too sweet, nutty, chewy easily a 10/10. Can't wait to come back when they're actually open and try more. Huge shoutout to Jeremy and his family for the kindness. little things like that stick with you. read more

Just moved to Savannah and this is the most peaceful cafe I've ever been in. The music and ambiance is incredible. The man working behind the counter was extremely friendly and kind and I loved the entire experience here. I got the garden turkey sandwich and it was delicious. read more

The best coffee, scones, bread, muffins,etc Also the best turkey sandwich!!! Everything there is wonderful!!

Cute, cozy little cafe. Sandwiches are really quite good and a nice size portion. Mate good as well. Would have loved to try some baked goods while I was there. read more

My mom and I had a great lunch together celebrating her birthday. Friendly staff! She even made a purchase to go. We love fresh breads and etc and this by far has been the only place I can eat bread that isn't gluten free and not have an adverse reaction! read more

Bought a loaf of fresh sourdough bread. And OMG the best sourdough my wife and I have ever tasted!! We were able to sample some different matès. I loved the mango and my wife loved the hibiscus. The date crumble was absolutely delicous. Definitely coming back! read more

Really cool little store with lots of history behind (if ya know you know) and local breads. Minimal GF and coffee was ok but the service was top tier and the atmosphere is just so comfortable read more

I regret not taking pictures b/c this place was unforgettable. Located on the corner of an otherwise residential area in the middle of the beautiful, historic Savannah, this place not only offers a unique experience in the ambiance it offers but in the absolutely BEST coffee I have ever had. I had the Matte Mocha which had notes of cinnamon and ridiculous deliciousness. I wish I lived closer, Id be here twice a day every day and likely go broke. The cool items and knick knacks only add to the character of this location offering all natural room sprays, candles, and body care products. Thank goodness my son goes to College here as it gives me an excuse to return for more. Oh my daughter had the hot chocolate and my boyfriend had the Yerba matte coffee latte. All distinct and equally delicious... To say I recommend this place is an understatement. You have not experienced coffee until you have come here. I'll back- I guarantee it. read more

The baked goods! Oh my! Service - incredibly helpful and kind. Ambience - wish I had time to snuggle up with a book there. Coffee was ok. If I get back for sammies, might be able to overlook the coffee and add that last star (family says the sammies are the reason to go) - makes sense as the bread is perfection!) read more

We loved the Mate Factor, we went back a second time while we were in town. Try the Mayan Mocha Latte!! They also have gluten free cookies.

This eclectic little gem is one of my favorite places to grab a quick lunch! They make all their breads and baked goods in-house. The decor is unique and creates a cozy cabin atmosphere, and I absolutely love their outdoor patio area--it's quiet and provides a relaxing vibe. My favorite drink is the mango mate; I could drink it every day! For lunch, I always go for the chipotle chicken sandwich -- it has just the right amount of heat without being too spicy. read more

I'm currently sitting at Mate Factor in Savannah , Georgia sipping on the iced "old saint joes" latte which I customized by adding a double espresso shot to and it's so delightfully flavorful! I'm extremely satisfied with the taste and rich experience of this drink, also my partner got the hot green chai tea which was incredible as well! The ambiance here is so cute and inviting, giving the true atmosphere of Savannah vibes! The service was friendly and fast. Needless to say, I'm giving this adorable spot a 10/10! read more

What an absolutely wonderful little coffee shop. Staff were so friendly, place was so cute and clean!!!! Really loved everything about this place including their coffee and pastries!!!!! Will definitely be coming back read more

Everything awesome. I would love to have the sticky bun recipe. They were busy and the first time I went, but they were organized and handled everything beautifully. I would say atmosphere: warm, peaceful and cozy. read more

Woooooooow The drinks were all 10/10. I consider myself a bit of a chai latte connoisseur and it was one of the best ones I've had, very pleasantly spiced. The iced Mayan and mint mocha were delightful. The sandwiches were solid. My boyfriend loved his turkey sandwich. My veggie burger was mild in flavor, but I did enjoy it, especially with the kettle cooked chips it came with. Everyone working there was very kind. The decoration of the place was adorable. It felt like I was in a fantasy novel, inside of a cozy tavern. read more

The food was delicious! The charming atmosphere can't be beat. The workers were really kind.

Dabbled into my investigative journalist side today. 1 star for the delicious sandwich & hibiscus drink. The green tea is disgusting. Before stepping foot in a yellow deli, please do research & see what they support & believe in. I didn't like giving this restaurant even a penny but I probably would've been kicked out if I had just walked around. Other than the folk music playing, the place is pretty silent. It is also VERY dark inside (think 2000s Hollister). The employees look exhausted & children just randomly popped out of the kitchen(?) Everything is fresh, organic, & even the straws are made from wheat. read more

Not a sit down and waitress kinda place but wow what a cool place. Order a sandwich at the counter and grab a mug of coffee. Great atmosphere, kinda Hagrids house meets Cracker Barrel. read more

This cafe's part of my story. Came back today for a triple shot hot latte and that Chipotle Sandwich. Huge kudos to the Barista and Chef! Still one of the best spots around. read more

Great service BUT this shop specializes in Mate'. So if you're a tea lover, this hits the spot. Coffee? Not so much. The coffee lacks body, flavor and intensity. Soooo, if coffee is your thing, skip it. read more

Owned & operated by the Twelve Tribes you'll find this spot right by Forsyth Park. High quality selection of bread, pastries, & teas that are made daily. I typically pop in for a loose leaf mate that will run you $2.75 The best part about this place is how cozy it is... tons of cool nooks to sit & hang out Everyone is nice & helpful that works here... read more

This unique place offers a wood-heavy interior and exterior and a menu of beverages infused with yerba mate. While my "green chai" wasn't really green in color, the flavor was distinctive and the mate totally works with conventional chai spices. Ordering a little cake with pecans was a good decision, with sweet and hearty notes combining in the brief time it lasted in front of me. It was a very hippie place and was quite well attended, and staffed by someone with a travelogue not too dissimilar from mine. Certainly a very Savannah kind of place: it kind of feels like you're stepping back in time, but it's also modern in its own way. read more

This place is adorable! Like visiting the Keebler elves! I just wasn't as happy with my food as I would have liked to been. I got takeout and was starving, so I forgot to take pics, but the "special" sauce on my roast beef sandwich had a marinara base, which I didn't expect, and the banana nut loaf I got for breakfast was a bit dry. read more

First time having a Maté late and I absolutely loved it! The shop is super cute and gives off this rainforest vibe. The woman who runs us up gave us samples of the different Maté juices and explained what they were trying to at the café. Highly recommend visiting and trying the maté's. Excited to continue coming back during my stay in Savannah! read more
