Carpenter and Cook

Patronised c&c thanks to Burpple 1 for 1 beverages. Undeniably the cups are huge but not something I would pay full price for. Pictured above are the hojicha and matcha lattes at approx $8 each at regular price. However, it’s worth considering if you are looking for a place to hang out as it is really peaceful.

a cafe with good vibes! got an apple pie and some sausage roll. wasn’t anything spectacular but it’s good for its price point

Ordered 1-for-1 brunch, Big Breakfast and Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict.
Big Breakfast: expected it to be better for the price, the toast was kinda hard to cut, bacon was slightly over fried and hard, the egg mushrooms and sausage were okay
Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict: this was good, but sadly they ran out of brioche bread and I had to top up $3 for croissant

A standard Eggs Benedict but the Hollandaise sauce was pretty minimal and the poached egg was slightly overcooked, leading to quite a dry dish. We think their cakes are much better than their mains. Fortunately there’s the Burpple 1-for-1 Brunch deal so it made the food a lot more reasonably priced.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon and the place wasn’t too crowded. The staff were friendly and the overall atmosphere of the cafe was warm and cozy.

Pretty standard breakfast set - each element was executed well. Nothing amazing or special though.

Honestly $28 seems quite high of a price tag for what’s actually on the plate, though there is no additional GST or service charge, which was a pleasant surprise. We used the Burpple 1-for-1 Brunch deal so it made it more reasonably priced.

If you like lemon meringue tarts, do give their lemon meringue cake a try - the lemon meringue, lemon curd and vanilla sponge was really refreshing. The only difference between the usual tarts and this cake is that the tarts are usually much more sour - this cake was more towards the sweet side, which I (and my sweet tooth) personally preferred.
