The cafe was located across the road from the MRT station. The place looked cozy and warm especially when outside was raining. The drink menu was listed on the board, with assorted cakes and pastries on the display shelf.Lemon Drizzle Loaf Cake (S$5.20)The cake was heated when served. It was soft and not too sweet or sour.Merry Trio Latte (S$7)Vanilla, Hazelnut, CaramelI had the iced version, which was served in a jar. Refreshing drink but could not really taste the distinct flavours in it. Ther

I know, Carpenter & Cook has been around for ages and I've been raring to go since its inception. The only thing that really puts me off from going is the distance, but I can safely tell you that this cafe is one of the rare few worth travelling for. Or at least for people who appreciate the same things I do in a cafe (ambience! food!), and would not mind about the other elements (how detailed they are with coffee). I have to say I adore their whimsical Elizabethan theme of floral teasets, woode

Well, i guess, Carpenter & Cook needs no introduction. It’s well known for both their sweet and savoury treats! C & C revolves around vintage theme with some vintage furniture and decorations. There are some cozy corners with sofa seats nevertheless. It gets really crowded during weekends and looks kind of cluttered and crowded but still a nice environment for some catching up.Beside the in house treats, they retail a couple of tea sets, jams and cookies too which some of them may be a little ov

Located in Lorong Kilat and requires a bus from the nearest MRT stations are either Clementi or Bukit Batok. It can be a nice chill out place but note that the cafe is free seating thus you might have to share tables as they have long and big round tables. I like the handmade pastries but it can get too sweet or dry for some, my personal opinion   For instance, the cheesecake  being too sweet and the the brownie a tad too dry for me. You know it when you have to drink a sip of water after every

Been to Carpenter's and Cook several times and it is always for the sweet treats which are decadently displayed on their front counters. I was feeling particularly peckish on one of my afternoon trips down and I decided to try out their quiche which was on display.To be honest it wasn't the best quiche that I have tasted. This is on par with Delifrance standard and so it didnt leave me impressed. It did came with a side salad, but for $7, I would have placed the money purchasing another of the a

Looking for a nice place to chill with freshly baked home-made cakes and pastries? Located in Upper Bukit Timah, along the stretch of eateries at Lorong Kilat, you'll find vintage cafe; Carpenter and Cook. There were a variety of cakes and sweets to pick from. For sweets, we tried Caramel Walnut Cheesecake ($7) and Sticky Toffee Walnut Brownie ($6.50). They tasted really fresh like it's just taken out from the oven. Cheesecake was satisfying while the brownie was a little too sweet and dry for m

We’ve been avoiding this place since we’re usually free only on weekends and it’s unusually crowded here thanks to all the raving reviews. Finally on a day we’re on leave, we decided to drop by and managed to snag a table for ourselves. It was surprisingly crowded for a weekday, considering it was a rainy one and at odd timings like 3+.A place where vintage, pastries and coffee comes together, it’s a perfect setting for your high tea sessions. Cosy and dimly lit, the setting is great, just a tad

Located in a currently not-so-secretive spot of Bukit Timah, Carpenter and Cook was once a hidden find given its location behind the main road. With everyone learning about its existence, empty seats can be a rare find there even on weekdays during non-peak hours as well. They also have just recently opened a new takeaway kiosk at Jasmine Road as well to expand the business.The Passionfruit Tart might be one of their most raved desserts, but we got the Lemon Tart ($6.50) to suit our not-so-adven

Been seeing a few reviews on Carpenter and Cook, on how great their Lemon tart and Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Tart was, so i decided to pay Carpenter and Cook a visit since it's pretty near my area.This small little vintage cafe is located along Lorong Kilat in Bukit Timah, where you can find other icecream palors such as Udders and Alfero Artisan Gelato. It is also just walking distance away from Bukit Timah Food Centre (located at the opposite side of the road).I was greeted with the vintage e

One of my favourite cafe in town! It is one of the rare cafes in Singapore to have such vintage artisan bakery and furniture store. What i like best is the nostalgic feel in the cafe. The vintage atmosphere is unique compared to other cafes. Apart from this, the cafe offers a wide range of freshly made cakes and tarts. They also produce their own range of tuckbox treats like homemade jams, biscuits, granola and marshmallows which can't be found outside. Tried their chocolate sea-salt and passion

Tea break @ Carpenter and Cook for tarts, tea & gossip. Apart from being a cafe, most of the decors are all available for sale. Pretty interesting place.Banoffee. The banana inside the cake is very sweet, but the coffee extract on top of it ia way too bitter. Passionfruit Meringue Tart. A little too sour on the passionfruit even the sweetness of the meringue can't musk away the sourness. Do this only if you can take real sour stuff.Double Chocolate Muffin is sweet & a little dry on the crown. Pr

Carpenter and Cook is a quaint little cafe/restaurant located in Bukit Timah hidden behind shophouses but that hasn't kept them from being rather well known and gaining a good reputation. I went there for brunch one Saturday morning and it was a little crowded but we managed to get seats! We ordered 2 dishes: A quiche and a ham sandwich.The prices for the dishes are rather steep in my opinion, so the question is can they justify the higher prices with great taste? Turns out they can! While the q

Artisan bakery and vintage furniture shop, the little less than 2 month old Carpenter & Cook has already earned itself quite a fan base in the scene despite its not-so-central location. The shop is relatively big and almost every corner is adorned with vintage paraphernalia, from typewriters to cake stands and even an old grandmother's trunk that is used as a 'bench' at the communal dining tables.Yes, almost everything you see in the shop can be brought at a price. Definitely a unique concept go

This Lemon Tart that my Boy friend got for me is definitely not for those that does not like soury food at all. Not only is it sweet, it is also extremely sourish(or at least for me).Pros and cons. Sour would wet your appetite more but too sour can also kill your mood for more food i guess.They also have this brownie which you can literally taste bits of sugar in the cake and honestly, not for the faint hearted. You really need to be a die hard sweet tooth to like all these sugary pastry.Like I
