Crane Cafe
Good coffee and an interesting space with a local feel - Crane's locally owned. Cool spot to hang out and break up a day of temple climbing. Located in Kandal Village.

Brother Bong Cafe
The young owner of Brother Bong learned his craft at Australian owned Sister Srey (see below). He’s now created his own successful cafe. He mentioned his appreciation of the support from the girls at Sister Srey - a cool story. Brother Bong is located among the backpacker hostels on what’s become known as Funky Lane.

The Hive
Been a favourite since opening. Australian owned Hive recently changed to another Australian pair of hands. Still doing a fine job. Located in Kandal Village.

The Little Red Fox
Great for a quick coffee downstairs, or head upstairs for a more comfortable space to linger, rip through some work or get stuck into some tasty food. Located in Kandal Village.

Mirage Art Cafe
This is a tiny, soulful spot focused on coffee and art. Come by for a cup and check out the work on display on the walls. Mirage is owned by a Canadian Khmer and his Korean partner. I stumbled across this place towards the end of my stay in Siem Reap. Glad I did. Don’t expect anything slick. It’s a friendly, artsy space. While we were there, a bunch of little art projects were unfolding on the main table.

Sister Srey Cafe
Two sisters from Melbourne, arguably Ausralia’s cafe capital, may have been the first to do serious coffee in Siem Reap. They now run a successful operation in a cool shophouse overlooking the river. Apart from great coffee, Sister Srey’s a popular breakfast and lunch option with a mix of cafe standards and an emphasis on things healthy.
