) "We had tasty vegan tofu scrambled egg in the restaurant upstairs."
"We waited one hour for an eggs breakfast, at the end we just cancelled and leave"
"Best place for my morning coffee, friendly staff, amazing espresso."
5 Lovely little coffee shop serving a good selection of baked goods. Strong proper flat white. We enjoyed the bomboloni (little Italian style chocolate stuffed doughnuts) and the chocolate banana cake. Both served warm with melted chocolate. A treat! Great aircon too if you're looking to escape the heat.
5 Good taste of coffee and chill vibe. The service is very nice.
5 Highly recommend cafe serving authentic locally sourced coffees from Bajawa and Manggarai. Very affordable, and strategically located on the main road in Labuan Bajo tourist hot spot. Most importantly, the staff are super friendly. Very nice cafe with outdoor area for smoking. P.S. Best seller: Es Kopi Susu Gula Aren! Heavenly!!!
5 We went there almost everyday while we were in town. Because it was nearby our hotel. I love the coffee they made and the friendly staff that always smile and friendly. I started my day with their ice latte
5 Cafe Carpenter is one of my favorite coffee spots in Labuan Bajo. The place has such a chill vibe, cozy, quiet, and super comfortable for hanging out or getting some work done. The coffee here is really good. I especially love their double milk coffee it’s strong, creamy, and just perfectly balanced. You can tell they know what they’re doing behind the machine. The staff are also super friendly and easy to talk to. They always greet you with a smile, which makes the place feel really welcoming. It’s the kind of café where you can just sit for hours and feel at home. If you’re around Labuan Bajo, definitely stop by Cafe Carpenter. Great coffee, nice people.
5 Amazing coffee - especially V60 with Flores local arabica beans. Went this place twice. Both times got a welcoming service, high quality coffee and enjoying feelings. Must visit place. Probably,the atmosphere is not super chill: people around, including staff, didn't use earphones, so you can hear the voices and music from their phones. Kinda annoying while enjoying coffee. I know it's a whole Asia problem with phones, but making the sound-off rule would be highly valuable. Also bought their beans - exact same quality of coffee can make at home!
5 I love a good coffee. In a cool and chill place. The super friendly crew at Carpenter’s know how to prepare one. My morning ritual: one hot cappuccino, and a choice of the delicious ‘side dishes’ - oat cookies, carrot cake. All for great prices as well. Go to Labuan Bajo? Check out Carpenter’s!!
5 Carpenter Café is one of those places that keeps you coming back. Their coffee is consistently good, and the double iced kopi susu is absolutely my go-to — strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. The banana bread is also a must-try: soft, fragrant, and always freshly made. As a repeater customer, I always end up ordering the same menu because it never disappoints. Simple, reliable, and delicious — definitely one of the recommended spots in Labuan Bajo for great coffee and a comforting bite.
