The Carpenter

Wow. Really impressive coffee. So balanced. That takes art. I got mine with oat milk, but I'll try normal milk the next time. FYI, only regular sizes come in ceramic. Large is only in takesaway cups. Great music, too, without smashing it in your face. I'd take a date here for lunch if I lived in the area.

Saturday morning 10am arrival. No booking. Had to wait 20 mins for a table as we had dogs and there is only a small section to sit in with dogs because someone complained about dogs inside. Service is lovely. Coffee is good. Takeaway wait for coffee is reasonable. Ordered eggs and toastie and coffees $41 total for 2 people.Great vibe. Highly recommend but book if you don't want to wait. Excellent addition to the Leichhardt area away from Norton St. Re-awakening of this awesome area!

Rude and disrespectful male barista! When I approached him to order my coffee, he was really impolite barking at me as if he was annoyed with this random customer. I looked at the reviews and really wanted a nice coffee. His coffee was the worst coffee I have ever had in my life. It was too watery and undrinkable coffee. I honestly think Starbucks and McDonald's makes better coffee! Outstanding and very prompt service from a lovely waitress though.

Coffee is amazing, ordered the Smashed Avocado Croissant with Bacon and scrambled eggs. Tasted really fresh and was very generous with the amount they gave. Service staff were very friendly, split bill is allowed, food was quick to arrive. Place is pet friendly and the menu has a lot of interesting items on it to make you want to go back again and again. Highly recommended.

Great coffee (roasted in-house from what I gathered), and delicious bacon & egg roll. I didn't enjoy the cheese toasty as much, I thought it was a bit bland and dry. My friend enjoyed the croissant, and the banana bread so 3/4 is still solid. Service was also very friendly, and the venue is nice and open. This place is tucked out of view on a little residential street, I'd recommend the detour if you're in the area. Prices as expected in the Inner West (unfortunately).
