Muteki Coffee Izakaya

Muteki Coffee Izakaya is a coffee spot in BKK1, Phnom Penh that regulars come back to. The pull here is consistency more than novelty, which is exactly what you want when you are booking somewhere you have not tried.

What to expect

Come for the coffee; there are cakes and simple snacks to go with it. Prices are reasonable for the area. 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 4.7 average from over 256 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 BKK1 here, so it is easy to fold a visit into a wander around that side of Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh is compact enough that you can pair this with a museum, a market or the riverfront in the same afternoon.

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

Hours are not always fixed, so a quick check before heading over saves a wasted journey. 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 BKK1 part of town.
