Luxuriously decorated cake made of fresh strawberries and whipped cream for your memorable day.
For a $10 slice, this black forest cake is far below average standard. Too sweet, hardly any cherries and too much chocolate. Is anything but fresh. Cream Was greasy. more fitting as a chocolate cream cake At a price of $5.
First, and definitely last time eating at HenryiCarpenter.

Visited this outlet on a Friday evening around 8:30pm and the place was empty.
We took a while to decide as it was my sister's and mother's first time. The lady manning the cake counter did not bother to ask or offer any assistance. In the end we opted for their limited time special Berry Blossom ($10.20) and their Double Cheese Cake ($8.70).
When asked by the other staff how many forks I needed, I said 4. To my surprise they gave us plastic forks, in my other visits to their other outlets, they'll give a metal fork when dining-in. But I didn't question as it has been a while since I last visited, just thought it was a change in SOP.
On to the review of the cakes we ordered. The Berry Blossom was overtly sweet and sickening. The cake on the inside was dry and bland. The cheesecake was light and airy, a good mix of savory and sweet, but not too sweet.
Whilst we were in the midst of eating, another group was about to leave, returning the tray to the tray collection point. As I was conveniently seated right by it, I noticed they were given metal forks. 2 ladies who walked in behind us ordered 1 cake and were also given metal forks.
As my partner was full from dinner, I returned the unused 4th fork that I took for him to the counter. Only to be met with the cake counter staff taking it and simply tossing it in the air in a somewhat rude manner. The fork hit the edge of the counter and fell to the floor. Whilst she violently hit the tray against the bin to show her displeasure.
Overall, would not recommend anyone to purchase from this outlet. Both staff were extremely rude and treated us poorly, when we did nothing wrong and were cordial when ordering.

Had always been my favorite! This round brings my kids to enjoy their cakes and they each finished a whole slice of cake! We had sakura strawberry cake and strawberry shortcake. Even the financiers are good too!

We were walking in VivoCity and saw this after wanting to eat sweets. The cake we chose was really tasty but the sting that occurred was we were told we'd have to buy two cakes to sit in the dining area. Mind you this was already $10 SGD …

The tiramisu is truly exceptional, boasting a rich and creamy texture with a perfect balance of coffee and cocoa flavors. The cheesecake is equally impressive, offering a decadent and satisfying experience.
While the quality of the desserts is undeniable, be prepared for a slightly higher price point. However, for a special treat or a memorable dessert experience, Henri Charpentier is well worth the splurge.

Head here for sweet treats! Recommend the financiers, best in Singapore! Got the matcha strawberry and peach charlotte too! Lovely place for afternoon high tea

The chocolate one was $11, the double cheese cake was $8.70.
The chocolate one has a sourish berry layer in it, which I personally don't like (similar to blackforest). The double cheese was much better, though I wished for something that is more cake-like textured instead of just the light fluffy cheese layers.
Went there because I had voucher only.
