Best Breakfast in Siem Reap: Khmer, Western & Early-Morning Options
The best breakfast in Siem Reap for Khmer noodles, eggs, coffee, healthy bowls and early temple mornings in 2026.
Updated 20 Oct 2026
Breakfast in Siem Reap depends on the day ahead. Before Angkor sunrise, practicality matters more than brunch aesthetics. On a slower day, the city has plenty of cafes worth sitting in for an hour or two.
Sister Srey Cafe: strong all-round breakfast
Sister Srey is one of the easiest central picks for a proper breakfast with coffee, eggs and lighter options.
Footprint Cafes: best for breakfast plus laptop time
Footprint in Wat Bo is useful if breakfast turns into a longer coffee or work session.
New Leaf Eatery: good mixed menu and plant-based options
New Leaf works well for mixed groups because breakfast includes standard cafe dishes alongside vegan-friendly choices.
Common Grounds Cafe: reliable and comfortable
Common Grounds is a good choice when you want air conditioning, coffee and a straightforward breakfast in a relaxed setting.
ASAGOHAN Cafe & Eatery
ASAGOHAN is another practical central option for travelers who want breakfast close to the Night Market area.
Khmer breakfast
Do not assume breakfast means eggs and toast. Look for num banh chok, rice porridge, noodle soups and grilled pork with rice in local markets and simple restaurants.
Breakfast before Angkor sunrise
For a 4 AM departure, I would arrange a hotel breakfast box or carry something simple. Very few cafes are worth restructuring the entire sunrise schedule around.
My practical take
Slow morning: Sister Srey, Footprint or New Leaf. Temple morning: eat quickly, carry water and save the long breakfast for after the temples.
