Great place to do some work. Fast wifi, plenty of space to work. Recommend for nomads
Literally my favorite cafe in Siem Reap. Amazing western food, healthy options, large portions, great prices & real ranch 😱 (You know us Americans love our ranch 🤣🙌)
If you’re a digital nomad this is also a great place to come and work. Tons of space & great wifi. A must visit in Siem Reap, you won’t regret it!
Really good coffee latte. The staff is very attentive and charming.
wifi works great if you need to work.
They told us the profits go to an NGO that helps local people in need.
After 6pm all the bakery is 50% off to ensure that everything is fresh.
Great spot. Bunsin and the staff at common grounds are very friendly, eager to please, love that this is a mission-driven cafe, the food is delcious and I love the fast free wifi and that they accept credit card for payment. A little pricier than some other comparable spots, but only by a dollar or so and it’s well worth it.
Expensive but good for working, although wifi is slow
Tidy, western-style cafe near the river. There are many breakfast options here - from a full cooked breakfast to Granola to smoothies etc. The prices are on the expensive side for Siem Reap but thankfully the food was of a high standard 🙂. wifi is fast enough to work here remotely as a few people were doing. A/C was good but could have been slightly colder.
Amazing pastry’s and cakes! My coffee was perfect! Get service and fast wifi!
This is a great spot to grab yummy food, enjoy fast wifi, and meet kind staff. Each time I’ve visited I’ve felt so welcome! I haven’t tried their Khmer food, but their western food is delicious. Specifically the chicken tenders, fajita taco salad, and cheesecakes.
Such a cute coffee shop with a great vibe and delicious treats and drink! They have free wifi, plenty of outlets to charge your devices, and the staff are very friendly. The cafe itself also has a really great backstory and it's a great cause! Check it out.
During our week long stay here, we came back here four times, and that says something. We also noticed familiar faces among the customers, makes me think this is an expat favorite as well. The atmosphere is very relaxing, the service is very good, the wifi speed is fast, and most importantly, the air-con is blasting!
One thing I noticed while traveling in Cambodia is they tend to make their meat very tough and bland. The meat dishes here were certainly much better than other Cambodian restaurants I've been to, but if you don't want to risk it, get Fish Amok or the grilled fish. They were both among the best I've had in Cambodia. The only thing I didn't like were the regular (non-fried) spring rolls. They put some kind of herb or leaf that has a very strong taste and it was just a little too much for me.
The coffee and deserts were great, too. But definitely try the shakes. They are flavorful and not too sweet, perfect after a day walking around the suffocating heat outside.
american style food, american sized portions. Good to do some work on the 1sr floor
Love this place! On the first floor there is a good setup for work. AC, sockets, good coffee, very cosy seats! If you're a digital nomad looking for a place to work in Siam Reap. This is one of the good ones together with Footprints Cafes, Brown Coffee Treeline and Gloria Jean's Coffee. Visit recommended!
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. First of all, the food was delicious. Went for lunch one day and came back again the next morning for breakfast. They also serve quite a large portion of food, so you’ll be left stuffed with delicious foods. Secondly, the atmosphere it great. It’s very quiet and relaxing, perfect for getting some work done or just chilling with your family (especially with the free wifi!). Finally, it’s a great initiative in terms of building up and helping out Cambodia. 100% of their profit goes into funding education, housing and farming. They also make a point to employ people with little work experience, so they can build them up and get them working for bigger companies. Overall my family and I had a great experience here and I highly recommend it if you’re looking for good food and a good experience.
