Looking for the best coffee in Cambodia?
Every café in this guide has been visited in person, anonymously, and scored out of 100 on a public scale
Five criteria, always the same
The americano itself, the price, the seating, the room, and the service
The drink never changes
One americano everywhere, which is what makes the numbers worth comparing at all
Nothing here is sponsored
No ranking can be bought, no café is told in advance, and every coffee is paid for

- Siem Reap · September 2026The Source Café
The best americano tasted so far in Siem Reap, on a quiet street in the center — a place to remember for the morning, less so for the evening.
81 / 100 - Siem Reap · September 2026¡Viva! Fine Mexican and Khmer Cuisine
An americano too strong and lacking finesse, served in a dated room beside the road — the cup was not finished.
63 / 100 - Siem Reap · August 2026Amun Bar & Restaurant
The strongest line on the scorecard is the coffee itself — well pulled, well dosed — but the room is noisy and the service rushed.
68 / 100
