The syrup was perfectly balanced with the right amount of sweetness and flavors of herbs. The fennel was a beautiful touch: refreshing and herbaceous. It's one of their seasonal drinks and it worked well. There is more seating than the last time I was here which was nice. I am always happy when I come to Syndicate.

Man what a great little spot in downtown Sierra madre…read more I went here for lunch, was meeting a friend. It's a great little spot. You order up at the counter, and then they bring your food out to your table. There's plenty of seating inside the restaurant, and if the weather is nice you can obviously eat outside as well. Which Sierra madre, the weather is always nice. I had the pastrami sandwich, with fries. It wasn't the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had, but it certainly wasn't bad. But the fries were fantastic! I mean some of the best fries that I've ever had. They also have an assortment of specialty drinks, and coffee, plenty of options here. But the best part, the prices were very reasonable, and the portion size was pretty substantial. Definitely a good deal, and high quality too. The staff is all friendly and helpful. No complaints there. Definitely a great spot, will absolutely be back the next time I'm in Sierra madre.

Nothing bad or rude, just not particularly warm. That said, we keep coming back! It's usually pretty busy but somehow never too difficult to find a table. It's become our go-to brunch spot. The portions are generous, the food is consistently great, and it's a really easy place to bring family and kids. Definitely a neighborhood favorite! One thing to note: it can get pretty loud inside when it's busy, mostly due to the acoustics of the room. So if you're looking for somewhere quiet for an intimate conversation, this probably isn't it. If you can snag a table outside, though, that helps a lot.

The drinks and food here are delicious, the pricing is extremely affordable, and the service is great! This is definitely a place that will be bringing regulars back time and time again. You definitely cannot beat their prices. I got a cookie butter latte for $4. It was a pretty solid latte, especially for the price point. Most of their drinks range from $2.50-$4 so I will be coming back to try more! They also have delicious muffins for $1.50 with flavors such as ube and matcha. Their ham and cheese croissant was only $2.50 too! The man that was helping me out was also extremely friendly. Luckily I went during a down time (1pm) and was the only one there. You can park on the street in front of the shop or the side street. It's a pretty small place, perfect for a to-go coffee.

Today I finally tried their Oaxacan Chilaquiles, made with organic corn from Mexico, homemade salsa verde, and two eggs, and they were absolutely delicious! If you visit, I also highly recommend the Goki Mocha, made with rich Oaxacan chocolate. It's been my favorite drink there for years. The service is always wonderful, and you can tell this place is built with so much love and heart. The family is incredibly kind, and I love supporting their business. If you're in the area, definitely give Goki Cafe a try!

There is a small parking lot to park in. I love the bright colors and inviting decor. Drinks: I've tried their horchata latte and goki latte. I enjoyed the boldness of the coffee. It is strong enough to taste through the milk and other flavors in each drink. I haven't tried their baked goods yet but one day I will. Definitely recommend the Goki latte. Service/Ambiance: Family owned coffee shop, which can be felt through the staff and interactions. Great place to come to if you have toddlers that enjoy watching the trains. Overall, I would recommend Goki for their warm and welcoming ambiance and delicious coffee drinks.

What I tried: Gula Aren Latte -- $7.00 The cashier recommended getting this at 50% sweetness, but even at 50%, it was still a little too sweet for me. Personally, this wasn't my type of drink, but if you love brown sugar milk tea, I think you'd really enjoy it! It has that rich, sweet brown sugar flavor. Hojicha Latte -- $6.75 This was okay! Nothing that particularly stood out to me, but still decent. Overall, I'd probably come back to get some work done here and try some of their other drinks next time!
