Bayon Pastry School

Stopped in at the coffee shop/ pastry school to have a pastry and a cappuccino. Pastry school says it all, it was great. Think I've found a new morning spot!! Great coffee, pastries and an extremely quaint setting. Nothing but to liked good sure! Open 7am-5pm Tuesday-Sunday Update Stopped in again and tried one of their weekly specials, a chicken blue cheese salad and of course another cappuccino And for dessert another cappuccino and a slice of lemon meringue pie. This place is the bomb-everything was absolutely fantastic

THIS is the Hidden Gem of Siem Reap! Beautiful, airy Cafe with their own garden serving fresh food and a great cause. The staff are amazing, they are emotionally invested. The best Croque Monsieur I've had anywhere, perfectly done! Go early in your visit because you will want to go back.

The place is cute and nicely decorated There are plenty of indications about the actions, their programs, their stories and history. Food is so good; loved the 2 kind of breads and baguettes we had. Prices are super reasonable Would love to come back again to try their viennoiseries

Lovely place in Siem Reap with delicious pastries ! The staff is so friendly I highly recommend this place for a great breakfast in the city :)

I will start by saying I was already having a bad day due to my hostel which is located on the same block didn't have any coffee which as I had paid for breakfast and coffee to be included my day didn't get started as normal with a fresh ground coffee. This led to me going in search of my usual kick start to the day being a coffee junkie. I stumbled across Bayon pastry school by chance its location is off a main road down an unmade street that isn't concrete. Seeing the graffiti advertising on the wall at the end of the road, it's less than 50m away. The history of this place is captured in one of many displays and information, so see included photos of the ethos of the place and its mission statement. It's an open plan design garden courtyard with some undercover ceiling fans. To help keep you cool on what is normally a very hot day. I ordered latte see photos, and it was well presented technically. I'm not so sure it was a latte and maybe Cappuccino very thick layer of foam and very milky in flavour. I couldn't taste the coffee, so I returned it asking for an extra shot of coffee. The waitress seemed to understand, but when the cup was returned, the amount of liquid I the cup seemed the same, so I wasn't so sure I had anything added to my cup so for the second time I went back and asked for another shot of coffee to be added. This time making sure I tried it's taste when the waitress brought me the cup back the second she gave it to me. The extra shot this time did change the flavour and I could now taste the coffee but considering at this point I had 3 shots of coffee the temperature didn't seem to alter. I am not a coffee machine expert but I will bet money that the setting on the machine needs turning up or maybe it's faulty and needs a service. So my bad day isn't improving at this point so as I have done hundreds of times before I look at the reviews on Google maps as those that already know me and follow me I review more coffee shops than I do hotels and restaurants. Reading the signs leading to this place and it's story I had high expectations and had a good feeling as I like to support and review independent local business and not the massive fancy pants expensive hotels and restaurants. So the reviews before mine talk mainly about the school and the work that is done and the pastry and cakes. I will say at this point I'm not a pastry chef and I don't eat cakes or sweet dessert very often but as the reviews I read said good things I tried the mango and coconut tart and a passion fruit and orange fruit juice with no added sugar. The tart looked fantastic so photos I had one sip of the juice which was mostly water and ice with not much fruit when more disaster hits as it when starts to rain and I'm sitting in the garden area so not wanting my tart to get wet from the rain I pick my what is actually a chopping board and not a serving try with my top heavy glass to a table that had cover from the rain only to place this chopping board down and the unstable pub stool table the glass tips over because of the uneven level of the flooring and the top heavy glass. which ends up going over my plate and phone covering the newly bought tart so I drain the drink from the plate not wanting it to make the tart to go soggy. The tart topping looked great and flavour was good but the pastry was rock hard even after I had spilt a whole glass of juice over which I quickly drained off it to stop it from affecting the pastry the extra moisture didn't help. I was difficult to get my folk to break it apart which I'm sure it should crumble apart and not stick together like concrete. I hate leaving negative reviews but I'm always going to be honest and I had the worst coffee so far In over almost 1.5 years of doing reviews which coffee is my main topic and not cakes so please read other customer reviews also as I did and maybe you will have much better luck than myself. I was already having a bad day and visiting this place didn't help improve my morning it just made a bad day ever worse.

Pretty courtyard setting to enjoy authentic French style pastries, and for a great cause! We had croissants and coffee but more substantial meals are available and look equally delicious.

Good food and a great cause. Our food was good, not great. We had the panini, quiche and an almond croissant. I was expecting a nice layer of almond cream inside but didn’t get it and it wasn’t hot. Overall I’d still recommend a visit to have breakfast lunch or coffee while supporting a great charitable initiative.

Some of the best pastries I have ever had, and lovely to be supporting such an incredible cause. The cafe is in a beautiful garden, I highly recommend a visit.
