Carpenter & Cook

This was our second visit to Carpenter & Cook. The first time we were there, they were almost out of everything so we left without trying anything. This time round, we were really hopeful as we went there pretty early! I was so excited to try their chocolate sea salt caramel tart!



Get ready to be captivated by rustic charm and vintage collectibles!







Very crowded










































Most of the vintage items in the photos are for sale!
X and I love vintage so you can imagine how much we adored C&C!


I was quite sad as they were out of chocolate sea salt caramel tarts and pear tarts ):



We were recommended by one of the staff to take the last savoury muffin! The one in brown paper






Every single item in this place is carefully sought out. We really appreciate and are amazed by the effort that the owners have put into the design and decorations!




Hot chocolate with lemon flavoured marshmallow - $4.80
I ate the lemon marshmallow first. It was super strong and sour and kinda killed my tastebuds. I'd think that plain marshmallows would be better! Also, the hot chocolate, though chocolatey, was not sweet enough and clumps of chocolate powder were swimming about in the drink. Could be better!


Iced Mocha - $6
X felt that the coffee taste wasn't strong enough.


Sandwich - $9
The sandwich was average in taste and a little small on the portion side. The greens were raw and quite unappetizing. We felt that this was slightly overpriced.

 
Savoury Muffin - $3.50
This was recommended by one of their staff and I must say that it's a great recommendation! The muffin is soft and really tasty! We really liked it!


Scone - $2.50


Butter & Jam - $1.50

The scone is warm and its texture was really good! A hard crust with an extremely soft inside. This scone, when accompanied with the yummy jam and butter, really stole X's heart. Haha he was full of praise for it!


Lemon Drizzle Loaf - $5
This was very nice and soft! The lemon taste was evenly spread out and it was not overwhelming, nor too sour. It was also of optimal sweetness.

 
Lemon Cream Tart - $6.20
The crust of the tart was hard and pretty good. However, the lemon flavour of the cream was too sharp and overpowering. The distinct sourness just wasn't for us. We abandoned the cream and finished the tart instead. If you like really sour things, maybe you can try this tart

Cute toilet area








Service at Carpenter & Cook was really good. The staff were friendly and took time to chat with us and ask about the food. We also really like the place. We'll be back to try their tarts that are madly raved about!
