Really decent oatmeal latte. But the real stars here are the pastries. Which largely run out the door within an hour or so after opening.
I managed to grab a biscuit and a cheese & jam pastry and they were the best pastries I’ve had in Canada. I’d almost say it would be worth a trip from Toronto… Guessing the quiche really would be. Just… not from the other side of the world. *cry*
Vibes: chill, light, woody, friendly.
Staff: excellent. Went above and beyond to cater to a few food intolerances. Actively thought along and came up with solutions, but also just generally very friendly.

2022.02.05 Day 5 in the city. First coffee of the day in Hamilton at SYNONYM. I like trying new places. My hot Americano was hot and nice. My SANDO breakfast was yum yum. Cute cafe for relaxing and socializing.

This cute cafe has a little bit of everything for everyone. Not only can you grab your cup of joe here, you can also try wine and craft beer and for those looking for something more there's plenty of baked goods to fill you up.
Not only is it cute from the outside, the inside is just as aesthetic! There is plenty of seating for small and large groups alike. If you want some privacy there's more seating in the back.
I ordered a flat white and was a little disappointed for the lack of microfoam in my drink and there was just too much milk. It didn't taste as smooth as I would've liked it to be. My bf got an Americano which was more straightforward to make so it tasted fine. I'll stick with a simpler drink next time I'm back. Staff is friendly and service was quick.

One of my favourite cafés in Hamilton. They have such a fun selection of wine and beer that I can't seem to find anywhere else. I ordered the coconut coffee and mushroom toast 😍

My partner and I were looking for a cute brunch restaurant and found Synonym as we were walking down James St! The menu was limited because we went on a Sunday and only the brunch menu was available, but we still enjoyed our food! The staff here are friendly and the vibes here is fun! Only thing is it was a bit humid indoors but bearable!

Great little coffee shop that also serves up some delicious food items... Oh, and alcohol, too! The sidewalk patio is great!

This is my favourite coffee shop in Hamilton they serve an iced Americano all year (which for some reason is not a norm) and their seasonal baked good are incredible! The staff are all incredible and friendly.

A very aesthetic cafe for good coffee and brunch! The brunch menu is quite small, but I did enjoy the fancy eggs - bread was super light and fluffy and the caviar added a great touch of saltiness.
