The Little Red Fox Espresso Cafe

"Sip Siem Reap's best coffee at Little Red Fox Located on the gritty backstreet of Hup Guan, an emerging coffee sipping-cum-shopping street that remains something of a secret, the Little Red Fox Espresso makes Siem Reap 's best coffee. No question. An early opener, the cool little cafe with a life-size portrait of Amy Winehouse above the bar sees expats kickstarting their day with caffeine shots soon after the Australian owners, barista Adam Rodwell, and hairdresser David Stirling, pull back the red curtains. And things don't stop until they shut up shop around 6pm. The menu is short—it's all about the coffee—although there are some breakfast items like homemade muesli, and sweets, like carrot cake. If you need a snip, David cuts hair upstairs (book ahead) while Adam overseas the excellent Cambodian staff downstairs."

The Little Red Fox Espresso - SilverKris

"A cultural hub halfway down Hup Guan Street that champions Cambodian art and community, hosting music talks, art exhibitions, film screenings and even vintage fashion sales while maintaining strong eco-credentials. Large, striking portraits of iconic singers Sinn Sisamouth and Ros Serey Sothea commemorate victims of the Khmer Rouge, and the space fosters a lively mix of Cambodian and expat patrons. The menu is health-conscious and locally sourced, with colourful, inventive salad bowls and notable muffins, and the coffee is widely regarded as some of the best in Siem Reap." - SilverKris

"Started by two Australians in Siem Reap’s trendy Kandal Village precinct, this compact café is widely regarded as serving the best coffee in the city. A large communal table dominates the space while wooden stools mounted on walls double as shelves and a plush second-floor “Den” offers sofa seating. The cold drip coffee is a highlight, using a slow overnight drip to produce a fruity brew, while an indulgent Espresso Martini is also available. Light fare includes char sluk bah — sautéed chickpeas with garlic and Cambodian spinach on toasted rye bread topped with crumbled feta. The team uses biodegradable food containers and waste bags, recycles green waste, and occasionally hosts pop-up stalls featuring local artisans." - Joyce Huang

"A cosy coffee house serving classics like long blacks and flat whites alongside unique creations such as the Cafe Meas (Khmer for “Golden Coffee”), made with homemade turmeric milk spiced with ginger, cinnamon and coconut. The intimate, homely interior is decorated with local artworks and plays 1960s Cambodian rock, creating a warm, culturally rooted café vibe." - Delle Chan
