Yerba mate has been trending for quite some time here in TO, so I won't make you snooze with a lengthy explanation. Please know, though, if you're a fan of coffee, tea and carefully concocted, slightly exotic things, I have a hunch you'll love it.
The craftsmanship on everything in this place is incredibly impressive. Beautiful big brass machines and adorable little wooden chairs and tables, El Almacen truly transports you to another time and place. When I last popped in here, I enjoyed a lemonade with chia seeds. Good people, good surroundings, and energy-giving drinks for everyone.
