Carpenter & Cook

Carpenter and Cook at Lorong Kilat is one of my favorite spots in Singapore! It’s a cozy café that also doubles as a lifestyle store. I love the warm, rustic vibe inside with its wooden furniture and lovely lighting—it feels so inviting. The food is delicious, with a great selection of homemade pastries and hearty meals. Their coffee is fantastic, and I can’t resist trying their cakes whenever I visit! What makes it even more special is the little shop area where you can find unique home décor and vintage items. It’s a perfect place to relax, grab a bite, and maybe pick up something special for your home. If you’re in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by.

This was my first time patronising this restaurant. We visited on 8 January. You can find many vintage items that brought back childhood memories, as they were similar to what my late grandparents used in their daily lives. It is a nice place to chill, with a DIY concept where you help yourself to water and cutlery. We had the pork ragout, prawn aglio olio, pistachio cake, coffee, and a matcha latte. We were served by Bell, who always had a smile on her face and provided friendly service. There was not much of a lunch crowd when we were there, which made the experience even more relaxed.

This is a very pretty and quaint cafe that serves excellent viennoiserie, tarts and cakes. The people here are also very friendly and warm. Thumbs up! My weekly go- to for many years.
