We really enjoy this coffee shop.
The two-star rating is not for the drinks but for the pork chile verde burrito we had. It was very salty which unfortunately led to the saltiness overtaking the other flavors of the burrito.
The barista/ cashier was very helpful with her suggestions for my drink. The mocha was great! If there was a drink rating option that would have come in high.

NO BATHROOM. Wifi keeps dropping. Half of their tea selection was sold out. I was told to go to Starbucks if I needed a restroom, and since I was hoping to knock out some work at a cafe between appointments in the area, for the first time in my life I wish I had gone to Starbucks instead of trying to support a small business. Good music, it smells like bacon, nice staff.

Pets not allowed even for takeout.
☕️🌯🥐🍪 I’ve been to Syndicate multiple times and will go out of my way to pop in. Their coffee options are great and I love that they have a “mood ring” choice that I’ve never seen anywhere else.
Their pastries are dangerously delicious too!
What puts this place over the edge for me is the customer service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ they are always so pleasant and just so welcoming and warm. I’ve interacted with many different staff members and ALL of them were great. Keep up the great work!!!

Fantastic drinks (we got a matcha with honey and an iced bolt, which is a sea salt caramel latte)!! my husband loved his breakfast burrito, but I wasn’t a huge fan. It was pretty heavy (eggs, cheese, hash) without any fresh ingredients like tomatoes to balance the greasier components. I’d return for coffee and because the service was friendly and warm, but not for a whole meal since prices are pretty high.

worst matcha ive ever had and was $9 🙎🏾🙎🏾😡the briwnie cookie was pretty good though
If you're looking for a great pull of espresso, you'll definitely want to stop by. Also tried a SO cold brew and it was great. For me, two things missing: 1) side of sparkling with my espresso and 2) more seating for people to chill and get some work done. But, that doesn't't stop them from making great coffee.
Very friendly and personable server (he's not a Scorpio, he just likes scorpions), coffee came very quickly, plenty of seating indoors (17 seats), including the very comfy living room-like padded armchair I was on, another 15 or so seats right outside, but 2 drawbacks: the coffee, their top listed Cafe Noir, although delicious, was barely warm; the Vegan Blueberry muffin, although delicious, was extremely crumbly and so I needed a napkin in my lap and should have used a spoon to eat it instead of having to repeatedly pick out the crumbs with my fingers. And some of it was inedible as the muffin paper was stuck to the muffin in a few places. (Guessing those 2 issues had to do with it being vegan so my rec is to avoid any of those).

Fantastic local coffee shop with amazing pastries and sandwiches. Try the Morning Bun with a Café Noir to jumpstart your morning!
😋 yum
I only came to this coffee shop on a pit stop because my partner and I were on our way elsewhere. We saw the good reviews and said “yeah let’s try this place out”. I ordered a strawberry matcha and she ordered a vanilla iced latte. Both drinks were not good, but we didn’t want to go through them remaking it again- so we sucked it up. We also ordered food. Two breakfast burritos, one with no meat- that was messed up too. The person who rang us up was super nice and wanted to make it up to us but the person who messed up the burrito wasn’t as accommodating and didn’t own up to their mistake. So I left there, not satisfied with my drink and one burrito down. I appreciate the hospitality with the coupon for a free beverage or pastry but after trying the drinks and being disappointed- I will not be returning.
I like to ride my bicycle there with my neighbor for coffee on Saturdays.
Shop local, eat local... this does not get any better. Great coffee, great pastry selection, amazing food...
