Carpenter and Cook’s homepage announces closure. Do not treat older opening-hours listings as evidence that the Lorong Kilat café is still operating.
The farewell message points customers to Neighbourly in Pandan Valley. A proposed successor at Lorong Kilat is not confirmed by that notice.
This guide was checked on 17 October 2026. It separates confirmed information from plans so you can choose where to go before leaving home.

SECTION 1 OF 5
1. Treat the closure notice as the key update
The homepage’s closure notice should guide your planning, not the hours retained on older pages. This is why checking a business’s current announcement matters more than finding an old menu.
The former address is 19 Lorong Kilat, #01-06, Singapore 598120. Keep it distinct from Neighbourly when updating a saved itinerary.
| Information | How to interpret it |
|---|---|
| Carpenter and Cook homepage | Announces closure |
| Older store-hours pages | Not reliable evidence of continued trading |
| Proposed Lorong Kilat successor | Not confirmed by the farewell wording |
| Neighbourly | Separate café in Pandan Valley |

2. Do not turn a reopening hope into a confirmed date
The notice discusses a possible takeover by the baker and a hoped-for mid-September return. It does not confirm that either has happened.
Before travelling specifically for a successor, look for a current announcement from its operator. This guide does not supply an unverified replacement name, menu or opening date.

3. Find the team’s confirmed café alternative
Neighbourly’s own website identifies it as a café by the team behind Carpenter and Cook. It lists its address as 2 Pandan Valley, #01-213, Singapore 597626, and says it is open to the public.
That is a separate destination, not another name for the Lorong Kilat premises. Plan a new route to Pandan Valley rather than following an old Beauty World café itinerary.

4. Check Neighbourly’s hours and last orders
The café publishes Monday–Thursday hours of 8am–6pm, with last orders at 5pm. Friday–Sunday hours are 8am–9pm, with last orders at 8pm.
The website lists public holidays with the Monday–Thursday schedule. If visiting on a holiday or near the end of service, confirm current arrangements directly rather than assuming the longer weekend hours apply.

5. Update the outing before leaving home
Our practical recommendation is to replace the old café pin in your plan with the venue you actually intend to visit. Tell companions the new address as well as the name.
If you prefer to stay around Beauty World, choose a different currently confirmed business and check its hours. A favourite café’s closure changes one stop, not the possibility of enjoying the neighbourhood.
