Carpenter and Cook

The moment you enter, you’ll be greeted by the vintage vibe of the cafe. It felt very cosy, absolutely love it! They have quite large tables which would be suitable for groups.

Ordered grilled chicken BLT and it came in 2 huge triangular portion. The chicken had a flavourful taste and the cheese used was of good quality! Would recommend ordering that.

Unfortunately, the potato waffles pales in comparison to the grilled chicken BLT. It was a tad bland and I felt a bit ‘jelak’ by the time i finished the first piece. Waffles could be complemented by the sour cream that came with it, but the taste of sour cream was pretty light as well.

Moving on to the drinks, the cafe latte was one of the best lattes I’ve had! It was smooth and has a slight roasty aftertaste. For the matcha latte, it was a tad thick and bitter. Glad that a generous amount of matcha powder was used, so that it would be great for those who prefer their matcha latte to be thick. Personally, I would go back for their cafe latte over matcha latte.

You can choose how you like your eggs(poached, scrambled or...I forgot the last option). The potato waffles were a little “meh”, it’s basically a rosti packaged in a different name. It wasn’t as crisp as I’d like, but we did enjoy how it tasted. The eggs were perfectly done - a good mix of cooked and runny. I’d suggest eating this deconstructed as the flavors get all mixed up altogether and doesn’t really taste that special anymore.

Pretty pricey for the taste, maybe I’ll go for the fresh bakes instead next time!

Classics with a small twist! As a croissant lover I just had to pick this. The eggs benny went really well together, much more than a normal muffin would. Generally, I feel muffins are quite dense tasteless in general so I really appreciated how they substituted it with a lighter, more flakey alternative that was filled with buttery goodness! They were pretty generous with the smoked salmon too.

Pretty pricey for the taste and the wait time was pretty long though.

First time here and I am not disappointed! Walking in, it’s like I’ve been transported back to the bakeries in Sydney, where a smorgasbord of fresh bakes lining the counter immediately catches your eye. All the pastries looked sooo good especially the peach strudel!

Hands down the BEST croissant I had till date. Chocolaty goodness with loads of sesame and hazelnut hidden within.

Sweet and chocolatey filling with hint of sea salt. The thin tart base added a slight crunch to the dessert. Would definitely love to have more sea salt taste and lesser sweetness from the chocolate filling.
