Erva Brew Co. Yerba Mate Iced Teas

I first discovered Erva Yerba Mate at music festivals and food truck events around Los Angeles, and I was immediately hooked. Their yerba mate drinks are incredibly refreshing—fruity, ice-cold, and genuinely satisfying. What really stood out to me was how I felt afterward: a clean, feel-good energy from the caffeine with no jitters or crash. It’s honestly better tasting and more balanced than coffee - which I'm not a regular drinker of. I was so impressed that I started going directly to the store to fill my growler and ended up buying bottled yerba mate for myself and friends. Every time I go in, the staff is warm, friendly, and happy to chat. I usually ask whoever’s working to make me their favorite blend, and it’s always fantastic. Consistently cold, crisp, and refreshing. That's why I've enjoyed trying so many flavors! A friend of mine said he ended up buying a growler from them at the Atwater farmers market on Sundays. He's also hooked! Parking is easy, which is rare in LA, and I love that it’s right around the corner from the ReStore—perfect excuse to hunt for good deals after grabbing a drink. The owners, Tiffany and Juan, are genuinely kind, welcoming people, and it show

My first time having Mate and it did not disappoint! The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The drinks are delicious and refreshing. I was only visiting LA but wish there was an Erva where I live. I could see myself getting addicted to these flavors!

What a wonderful little treasure this place is a gem. Riley was so sweet and helpful. We had the hibiscus lemon and a berries empanada. The hibiscus lemon was delicious and so pretty too. The berries empanadas were good too. Ten out of ten totally recommend. The location is super cute.

Amazing yerba mate bar!!! If you haven't tried yerba mate before, this is a great place to start. They have a delicious array of sweet, fruity, minty, and tangy blends to satisfy any palate. The cold brewed yerba mate blends are on draft, and shaken drinks are made to order for a super fresh, personalized drink! One of my favorite blends is a mix of the ginger lime and hibiscus lemon (included in photos). The tulsi passion is my fiance's favorite as a sweet, tropical tea. The bartender's special and the guava rooibos are also refreshingly delicious. I've also enjoyed the agave latte with oat milk - a sweet and creamy milk tea (and vegan!). We have been ordering the larger growlers from Erva to enjoy at home during quarantine, so being able to enjoy the original blends as well as a few new mixes at their new shop has been a great bonus. They serve several food items as well. I've tried the seasonal fruit and samosa empanadas - both delicious! The chifle and cancha serve as a nice snack while sipping on your tea. Overall, it's a relaxing environment with a kick of energy. They have appropriate safety measures in place for covid, so it also feels very safe to enjoy my drinks here
