In Cambodia, coffee and matcha have recently become very popular. The coffee business is booming, and there are many more coffee shops than before—both in Phnom Penh and in other provinces. In 2025, not only have small street cafés increased, but many well-known international brands, such as Starbucks, have also opened many new branches in Cambodia. Their locations are not only in Phnom Penh but also in provinces such as Kampot, Koh Kong, and Siem Reap.

As for local café brands, one of the most well-known and long-established names in Cambodia is Brown Coffee. Brown is a Cambodian-owned brand and has been popular since the early days, even before the coffee trend became big in the country. Today, Brown is still considered one of the top café brands in Cambodia, receiving strong support from both local customers and foreigners.

Their food and drinks are very good, the quality is consistent, and the locations are clean and well-designed. Brown is often very busy, and sometimes it’s hard to find a seat because there are so many customers.
