A social enterprise providing disability-inclusive employment, Epic Arts Cafe serves a selection of delicious breakfast and lunch dishes, including many vegan and vegetarian options, as well as desserts, cakes, fresh-fruit smoothies, and coffee brewed from Cambodian beans. There's a shop upstairs selling locally crafted products, sales from which support their programs.
Also called Cloud Tea & Coffee, this sleek cafe with colorful furniture opposite the riverside is hugely popular with Cambodians. They have a long menu of coffees, teas, shakes, smoothies, juices, and bubble teas.
At this Australian-run cafe located in a colonial-era building, you are guaranteed to find outstanding artisanal coffee roasted in-house from regionally-sourced beans. The food options include smashed avocado on sourdough with dukkah, mushrooms on toast, and chicken parmigiana.
A cool little coffee shop in the historical center, Kinyei Cafe is managed by knowledgeable and award-winning local baristas who serve outstanding coffee made with beans roasted in Phnom Penh and sourced ethically from Cambodia and other Southeast Asian growers. The lunch options, like the veggie rolls, are perfect for a quick bite. Kinyei Cafe is a social enterprise started by the Feel Good Coffee Company, which formed a partnership with the Cambodian Children Trust (CCT) to also run the nearby restaurant Jaan Bai.
Located on Siem Reap's quiet Kandal Village shopping street, this cool Australian-run cafe provides more than just great coffee: there's a menu of healthy breakfasts and lunches like the tofu scramble or the Tri Grain Bowl, a combination of red rice, chia seeds, and couscous, topped with kale and beetroot hummus. There is a shaded seating area out front and a relaxing light-filled space upstairs.
Here you can try a shake, house-made yogurt, or a brownie, indulge in a massage, and learn about volunteering opportunities in Sihanoukville. The café has Wi-Fi and a handicrafts shop upstairs. It's not the easiest of places to find—hidden down a dirt road behind the Samudera Market in town—but it's well worth the trek, as it benefits the Starfish Project, which supports individuals in need.
