  Syndicate Room is a great little cafe tucked away below an apartment building along Bay Road, Sandringham. The menu was quite extensive in terms of food and drink and should have something for everyone.

  We visited for lunch on a Saturday and ordered the crispy pork belly in the sea, and the its NOT just taro pancake to eat. For drinks we had a coffee, the blue heaven smoothie and the iced M.T latte.

  First of all everything we ordered was beautifully presented and totally insta-worthy. Flower petals featured in the presentation of both dishes, the smoothie and iced latte.

  Starting with the drinks, the iced M.T latte (half taro and half matcha) was refreshing and offers as a great coffee alternative to the non-coffee drinkers out there. Matcha and taro make a great combination and the drink was nicely balanced. The blue heaven smoothie was smooth and creamy and just hit the spot.

  The its NOT just taro pancake is aptly named. Although the main component of the dish was the taro pancakes there was plenty of fruit, cherry ice cream, a toasted marshmallow and raspberry compote amongst others to complement. The pancakes were nice and moist and not overly sweet and worked well with all the other elements on the plate especially the fresh fruit. This dish is perfect for sharing.

  The Crispy pork belly of the sea is a must have for anyone that loves crispy pork. The pork was cooked to perfection and the seared scallops were spot on. Normally I wouldnt think to pair pork with seafood like this however this dish has changed my perspective.

  Overall I was highly impressed with Syndicate Room, I love Asian fusion food and this was right up my alley. Everything we ordered was delicious and I highly recommend you check them out. I give Syndicate Room out of 5. Thanks very much for having me.

  Great little spot on busy Bay Road.

  Their Crispy Pork Belly in the Sea is a standout.

  Pigs may not be able to fly, but they can swim. At least down in Cheltenham they can.

  This is one heck of a flavour infused dish. Think Truffle Oil, Red Wine Jus, Pumpkin and Ginger Puree, and Caviar. Then add Scallops, Abalone, and Enoki Mushrooms.

  Our first visit down to the South in Sandringham for weekend brunch. We were lucky to be invited to check out this area and this brunch spot. Located off the busy bay road among a lot of apartments is this spacious cafe. As we came quite early it was quiet but ended up pretty busy.

  This cafe serves a LARGE range of brunch items with asian flavours as well as 3 special noodle dishes. Its great to see the asian flavours.

  What we had…

  Dry Pho: This dish tasted pretty much like XO sauce and rice noodles with some fried shallots and quail eggs and chicken. It was tasty however, i might of preferred some side of soup to break it down a bit.

  Pulled lamb Eggs Benny: THEY HAVE A WHOLE BENNY MENU! so it must be good! We tried the pulled lamb eggs benny as it seemed unique. This is definitely a large dish! 2 slices of bread, generous amount of lamb and 2 poached eggs with a thick layer of sauce. The dish was very tasty! and the meat was tender and juicy!

  Would of loved to tried some dessert next time as it looked good! Great spot to stop by this summer.

  Stopped here while on my bike ride for brunch. I decided to have the rainbow granola and an iced coffee. As a panna cotta lover it was very wiggley and immediately seemed not set properly and just holding it’s shape. However, it was very tasty and the dish presented well. I was a little concerned that the dish came on a plate instead of a bowl. My reccomendation is that if there’s liquid being poured it should be in a bowl. Overall food was nice, but the location is on a busy main road.

  Syndicate 5/5

  Ambiance 5: the cafe is lovely with walls of windows that allow the room to be filled with natural light. The tables are spaced apart well so you feel like you have your own space yet it still has a cosy intimate feel.

  Food 5: not only does the food look amazing, but the flavours are spot on too! The smoothie bowl was my favourite with a great berry flavour and good consistency. The pulled lamb benedict really surprised me with how presentable and delicious it was and the coffee here is spot on. We also tried the taro latte and breakfast board and loved every bit. We saw other dishes come out that also looked amazing so will have to try them next time!

  Service 5: The staff are very friendly and attentive and great at making suggestions if you have a hard time choosing from the many incredible options.

  Fun fact: the taro latte tastes like warm marshmallows!

  Just followed a recommendation and drove to the middle of nowhere just to check out the Syndicate Room and it did not disappoint. The place makes their own almond milk and you can taste the difference – never enjoyed a coffee like this before. The food was fantastic and well presented. I had the eggs Benedict with pulled lamb and it was outstanding. This place really puts a lot of passion and love into their dishes.

  Ill definitely drive that extra mile to come back for other dishes – see you next time!

  Delicious brunch here the other day. The corn and zucchini fritters I ordered had great flavour with the spices. I love fritters that are round rather than flat pancakes, and these were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The accompanying parts of the dish fit well, including a nicely poached egg and refreshing salsa. The coffee was nice. It was really quiet so the service was fast
