Thanks so much for the link to Viento y Agua, I recently moved back to LB after many years & have been looking for mate – we used to drink it as you said in the gourd with the bombilla & I always used the gourd of a friend. Since I moved I’d been unable to find gourds or mate served at any coffee house

There is an Argentinean bakery in Culver City, called Grand Casino. I enjoy having the mate latte there.

There’s a great little cafe in Victoria, BC, called Solstice that serves mate they way it ought to be served– with a bombilla in a gourd (well, a glass vessel that resembles a gourd). I used to go there and just relax with friends over many, many cups of mate. I wish I could find another like that where I live.

Thanks for the heads up on 4th St. in Long Beach. I don’t drink coffee so I don’t frequent the place. But its only a few blocks from me. Now I know where to go when my cupboards are bare.

I bought Yerba Mate by the cup in a little market in Redondo Beach California called El Gaucho Market. They sell quite a few brands of loose tea Yerba as well as tea bags. It’s a South American market with all kinds of cool ethnic foods like empenadas, and you can get Yerba by the cup for a pretty good price.
Check it out when you can!
Love the blog!
