    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?

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is soothing and relaxing. A great place to read a book.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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? [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    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.

    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.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance here is so cute and inviting, giving the true atmosphere of Savannah vibes![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was friendly and fast. Needless to say, I'm giving this adorable spot a 10/10!

    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.

    What a Delightful Place! Turkey Sandwich was fresh and delish. We tried both the cold iced hibiscus and mango teas. So yummy. The ginger snap cookie that was so soft and spicy. Can't recommend this place enough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The charming interior space is almost as lovely as the back patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just a perfect spot[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    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...

    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.

    Great food, relaxing atmosphere. Try their sour dough breads, home made granola, veggieburger, or corned beef reuben! All excellent.

    Your coconut raspberry muffins were absolutely phenomenal. What type of flour do you use? We keep trying to replicate your recipe.?

    Hi, and we're so glad you enjoyed them! We use spelt flour. That is an ancient grain. Sometimes people who have an intolerance to wheat can eat spelt. They're my favorite muffins, too! Although, blueberry pecan is almost a tie!

    This menu looks a little too similar to Yellow Deli in Brunswick. Anyone know if this place is affiliated, copycat, or something else?

    I believe they're affiliated with the same parent organization. Twelve Tribes, which oversees Maté Factor, has several other "Yellow Deli" locations, including one in Brunswick. From the pictures, the food and drinks look very similar, so if you…

    Goose Feathers Cafe & Bakery was a fantastic breakfast stop while exploring Savannah! We weren't…read morelooking for a huge meal, so we shared the JP Deluxe, and it ended up being the perfect portion for the two of us. The combination of the jalapeño cheddar cornbread waffle topped with sausage gravy, fluffy scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and scallions was exactly what we were looking for. Every ingredient complemented the next, creating the perfect balance of savory, smoky, cheesy, and just a subtle kick from the jalapeño. We also got the tobacco syrup on the side, which added a unique sweet-and-savory contrast that tied everything together beautifully. I also loved their ordering concept. You place your order at the counter first, grab a seat, and then the staff brings everything out to your table. It's efficient without feeling rushed, and everyone we interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The café has a cozy, bustling atmosphere with an incredible bakery display that's hard to walk past without wanting to take something home. Despite being busy, everything was clean, organized, and ran smoothly. Overall, this was an excellent breakfast experience. The unique flavors, generous yet not overly heavy portion, welcoming staff, and charming atmosphere make Goose Feathers an easy recommendation. I'd absolutely come back to work my way through more of the menu and bakery offerings.
