Syndicate Coffee + Bakery + Kitchen in California

"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!!!"

"I visited this coffee shop in Sierra Madre since I was meeting up with a coworker, and it was a great choice. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, perfect for getting work done. The service was top-notch, and both the drip coffee and vanilla latte were amazing. The place was clean and had such a pleasant vibe that it made focusing on work easy. I’ll definitely be coming back!"

"Easily the best coffee bakery combo in the LA area. It’s hard to find a place that does everything right and maintains unique character without being a sterile, soulless LA coffee shop. Syndicate always has friendly (cool, yet somehow unpretentious) staff, amazing food, good tunes, and the intangible happy vibration that is missing from so many cold wifi laptop holes that most modern cafes have a tendency to become. Enjoy a cup looking on to the mountains of Sierra Madre high above the classic town square."

"the nitro cold brew was delicious as i wish they had a larger size! we got assistance with some questions from the nice young lady at the register who helped us decide what to ultimately settle on eating and drinking. i'll be sure to go for a 'mood ring' next time! the area surrounding this shop is really nice too."

"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."

"TASTY food, delicious coffee, great atmosphere, and good chairs for sitting for a long time while catching up with a friend!! The paint job is changed again (I originally came for the retro look but it’s still nice with the stars). Chorizo Burrito- AMAZING and highly recommend with its dazzling flavors and matching hot sauce Coconut Coffee- SO good and unique! Caramel Coffee- also very tasty!! Smore Crownie (cookie/brownie)- SOOO good!!! The employees are friendly as well and this was such a great coffee shop! Music not too loud and the view through the window is nice of the little shops nearby. Definitely coming back!"

"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."

"Me n my aunt went to this place after our walk. We both liked the bakery n the coffee. There is not too much seats. It gets packed. Idk the bakery names since there is no label. But people there is nice and the food looks good but we aren’t that hungry since we had late breakfast. The place looks nice too. It’s not like super quiet place. You can hear some noises. I see people study or read there. They have some lunch items besides beverages and bakeries."
