Kampot Cafe

If you want coffee in Kampot, Kampot Cafe is an easy recommendation. It has settled into its spot over the years, and the room fills with a mix of first-timers working through a guide and locals on their usual table.

On the menu

You will find seafood, asian and cambodian here. Prices are reasonable for the area. The room is built for sitting a while, so it works as easily for a slow breakfast as for an afternoon with a laptop.

The verdict so far

With 15 reviews and a 4.9 score, the feedback is steady and mostly about the food and the welcome. The reviews that stand out tend to mention the same two or three dishes and the service, which is a better signal than the number alone.

Around here

Kampot is small and walkable, and the pepper, the river and the cafes are all within a few minutes of each other.

Getting there

Getting here is straightforward by tuk-tuk or a ride-hailing app; give the driver the name and the area rather than a street number, which is how most people navigate in Cambodia. Fares for a ride like this are low by most standards, and agreeing the price or using the app rate up front avoids the usual haggle at tourist-heavy spots.

Before you go

It opens on Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. Lunchtime and early evening are the safe windows; later in the night some places wind the kitchen down before the listed closing time. One to keep on the list for your next trip across town.
