There’s nothing quite like the pairing of a good book and a great cup of coffee.

At the Syndicate X Library our mornings begin with the aroma of Canyon Coffee’s Gedeb, a smooth and vibrant roast that has become our house favorite. Sourced from Ethiopia’s Gedeb region and roasted right here in Los Angeles this organic coffee offers a beautifully balanced cup with notes of persimmon, lime, and bergamot rounded by a gentle sweetness and a bright citrusy finish.

There’s an incredible Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood, and it has a special secret: they serve a traditional café de olla out of a small window in the alley. If you’re looking for us at break time, that’s where you should start. For the holidays we’ve created something special, our own café de olla mix which combines cinnamon, anise, cloves and brown sugar. Simply sprinkle it over your beans before brewing and enjoy a taste of the holidays in every sip. 

Together, the two create a cup that tells a rich and aromatic story, meant to be savored slowly. Pour yourself a mug, open a good book, and settle in for a warm read by the fire.
