A hidden gem! The food here is delicious, with a great mix of Cambodian and Western dishes. The high-protein salad and Cambodian Toeuk Khroeung (fish dish dip with fresh vegetables) are my absolute favorite! The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. I also love the little extras—there are books available to read for free, and the rooftop is a perfect spot to chill with a drink. Highly recommend this place for great food and a relaxed atmosphere!

This is the most charming and delicious restaurant from our entire trip in Cambodia! We discovered this gem at the beginning of our time in Phnom Penh, and we spent weeks being excited to go back for more! We had so many meals here, and whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner (or dessert), each meal exceeded our expectations. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the food quality was fresh and tasty, and the atmosphere of the cafe was great. The rooftop patio was an extra treat! We were lucky to meet the owner, Bora, on our last day and he was very sweet. We were very happy to support this business and you can tell that he has put a lot of love and attention into it - it truly shows! The wraps were

My husband & I just visited this lovely place for the first time. The owner was amazing and also other members of his family. The food options are great! We definitely didn't want western food, we are in Cambodia! ???????? We decided on local dishes that were presented and prepared so beautiful! We are going back tomorrow for breakfast to sit upstairs. The Khmer coffee is highly recommended. This cafe is so clean & comfortable inside. We did get orange cake, cookie and coffee for takeaway. We can't wait to go back!

Found this cafe on google. I was in phnom penh for 3 nights and came back here everyday or breakfast. The food was great. Took a little longer than expected to prepare but we found out very quickly it was worth the wait. Staff was great. We were able to relax here as long as needed. I will definitely be back when I return to Phnom Penh

Genuinely one of the nicest cafès/restaurant I visited in all of Phnom Penh. Super kind and friendly staff, lovely decor, a wide array of healthy smoothie options, and what a rooftop to enjoy! Be mindful of the stairs, up though. They are super steep and the roof is low at the top step! One of the staff was so nice, he brought up a fan for me on one of the hottest nights I've ever experienced. I had my first (but not last!) Fish Amok here - the Khmer national dish, and it was beyond prima, wrapped beautifully in banana leaves, with soya, chilli and rice on the side. It's worth noting that the blossoms on the trees in this street and around the rooftop are golden rain, which, although very beautiful- can cause allergic skin reactions to some.

We seem to be getting very lucky at the restaurants and cafes in Phnom Penh! Another place where each dish is around 5$ so a bit pricier but great overall. My dish was delicious (Cambodian braised beef) but my partner's was a bit more lackluster (avocado pasta). We both got very nice smoothies and the atmosphere was quaint. Given the high standards set, I would say 4 star as would choose others but still thought It was great!
