Bayon Pastry School Coffee Shop

Bayon Pastry School Coffee Shop sits in Sala Kamreuk, Siem Reap and draws a steady crowd of locals, expats and visitors. It is not chasing trends, and that is part of the appeal: you get a proper meal, a fair bill and staff who know the menu.

What to expect

Expect international, european and cambodian on the menu. Prices stay friendly, which is a big part of why people keep coming back. Portions and prices are aimed at regulars rather than one-off tourists, and the menu changes little from week to week, which regulars seem to like.

How it rates

Diners have left it a 4.9 average from over 465 reviews, and the praise is consistent rather than a one-off spike. Ratings on their own do not tell you everything, but a score this steady over that many visits usually means you will get roughly what the last few hundred people got.

Where it sits

You are in Sala Kamreuk here, so it is easy to fold a visit into a wander around that side of Siem Reap. Siem Reap runs on the temples by day, so most kitchens fill up in the evening once people are back from Angkor.

How to get there

Most visitors arrive by tuk-tuk or ride-hailing app. Use the map on this page rather than the street address, and allow a little extra time in the middle of the day when the heat slows everything down. If you are coming from the riverside or a central hotel it is a quick hop; from further out, factor in traffic at the start and end of the working day.

Planning a visit

It opens on Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. Cambodian kitchens keep flexible hours around public holidays and quiet spells, so a quick call ahead is never wasted, especially for dinner. Handy to know about when you are in the Sala Kamreuk part of town.
