We love hanging out in cafes, and Phnom Penh is a great place for doing just that. Here are a small selection of what’s available around the Independence Monument and Street 278 areas.
Brown Coffee & Bakery 57
Brown Coffee & Bakery has five stores in Phnom Penh, and the Street 57 store is where you can often find us. It has seating both inside and out, and is incredibly popular with both locals and foreigners. It has a very friendly and relaxed vibe, with many people working on their laptops. The coffee here is really good, with an Americano costing $2.10. It has a large selection of bakery items as well.

ARTillery
ARTillery is more restaurant than cafe, but there are often lots of people just stopping by for a coffee while working on their laptops. It’s popular with expats and tourists, and has a range of food including vegetarian, vegan and raw food. They also run a 5-day raw food detox once a month. A French Press organic and fair trade coffee costs $2. Try the Raw Chocolate Orange Tort – it’s awesome.
