5 of the best Siem Reap cafes for breakfast and coffee-updated November 2024
The Little Red Fox Espresso
Australian owned and Cambodian managed, this cafe is at heart of hip Kandal Village. Expect a friendly welcome, outstanding coffee, colourful and healthy food all accompanied by tunes from the golden era of Cambodian rock & roll.
Food
Breakfast and brunch with lots of vegan options. The bowls (Boujie Tetra Grain Bowl is a favourite) and bagels (can’t go wrong with the Deconstructed Smoked Chicken) are particularly tasty.
Drinks
As you would expect, coffee is taken very seriously here. Beans come from Feel Good Roasters who focus on fair trade and organic beans from the region. Hipster lattes come in a variety of colours that look almost too good to drink and (Siem Reap made) Kombucha is also available.
And more
Strong eco credentials, The Fox is of the leaders in the Siem Reap green movement.
Open Thursday to Tuesday from 7am to 5pm.

Footprint Cafes
People, planet, profit is the motto (and WiFi code) at this relaxed cafe that donates 100% of their net profits back to local community as educational and entrepreneurial grants.
Food
Eggs anyway (florentine, omelette) or The Works is a typical British fry up perfect for homesick travellers. The vegan pumpkin pancakes are not to be missed.
Drinks
Feel good coffee, smoothies and green juices. Or have a liquid breakfast in the form of a vegan muesli smoothie.
And more
Stocked wall to wall with books, this is the place to go if you need to top up your holiday reads. It’s also a lovely spot to get some work done, either downstairs in the cafe or in the large co-working space upstairs.
Open daily from 7am to 7pm.
