We went here for dinner and this was hands down the best meal I've had in all of Cambodia. We had fresh spring rolls, Tom Yum soup and Khmer Chicken curry bowl with rice. All was delicious! Service was great! Highly highly recommended. #developingcambodians

Spacious coffee shop (also seems to sell meals) with lovely staff. Coffee and hot chocolate were both good. Also had a homemade carrot cake cookie $1 which was unique and delicious! All profits went to helping Cambodia which was amazing.

Our group went in the evening and we were pleased with the large servings, delicious, good quality food and the cheerful service. The burger and onion rings meet a high standard from one selective eater. Relaxing and peaceful atmosphere.

If you’re visiting Siem Reap, please make sure you don’t miss this place! Sadly we were only here for 2 days but we made sure we came both days. We’re gutted to leave this place behind. Not only is the food delicious (we tried 6 things in total between us), but the staff are absolutely superb. Extremely friendly and hard working. The place is kept pristine and you feel very looked after. All of this at a very reasonable price. But what’s even more outstanding… 100% of their profits go to Cambodian children charities, improving the lives of children across the country. They help with education, children’s homes and use sustainable farming for all of their menu. Do yourself a favour and stop in if you’re travelling in Siem Reap - you will not be disappointed! Thank you to all of the team at Common Grounds cafe! Keep up the amazing work!

Such a great spot! They recently provided a meeting room for a training session with NGO staff....everything was beautifully arranged and prepared for us. The drinks and nibbles at morning tea were exactly as ordered and lunch was delicious and great serve sizes. Thankyou!!

Amazing food & lovely service! We had such a great experience here. The fresh spring rolls were super tasty and refreshing, and the sesame chicken with broccoli and zucchini was simply delicious — full of flavor, well cooked, and nicely presented. What really made the difference was the staff — so friendly, welcoming, and quick. A cozy spot with great food and even better vibes. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Siem Reap!

Our favorite restaurant/cafe/workplace in Siem Reap. All of the food and drinks are DELICIOUS! They have strong Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, and strong AC so it’s the perfect place if you need to work. The staff is wonderful and 100% of profits go back to local charity.

Great cafe with good AC and free WiFi to sit for a coffee or a meal. It’s open early, I was there at 7am. Staff are so attentive, friendly and professional. The food was excellent - I built my own breakfast and it was super affordable and healthy. When I went here I didn’t realise the good cause it supported helping Cambodian women and other disadvantaged Cambodian citizens. I would 100% recommend coming here for both this cause and the service.

Common Grounds Coffee is a top-notch restaurant known for its exceptional service and inviting atmosphere. The attentive staff, delicious food, and use of fresh, quality ingredients set this establishment apart. While prices may be slightly higher, the experience is well worth it. I have frequented this establishment and have sampled a variety of dishes, with the bacon cheese burger and chicken and bacon sandwich being personal favorites. The pumpkin soup was also a standout dish. I appreciate the option to order a cup of soup instead of a bowl, which adds a nice touch to the menu. Whether you're looking to relax or be productive, Common Grounds Coffee offers a diverse menu that caters to various preferences, including smoothie bowls, soups, and vegetarian options. Coffee enthusiasts will also appreciate the certified and fresh coffee available. Overall, Common Grounds Coffee is a must-visit spot in Cambodia for those seeking a memorable dining experience.

This was the best restaurant we have been in Cambodia during our stay, as soon we approached the restaurant the waiter came to open the door for us and there was a great temperature inside as is air conditioned. The service it was exceptional as I mentioned above since we came in, we have ordered straight away and drinks were brought to us very fast as well as water. We ordered the bacon cheese burger with sweet potato fries and the chicken and bacon sandwich with French fries we requested these two to be cured and half and the meat patty to be well done and everything came as we requested, the pumpkin soup it was also delicious and you can order only a cup instead of a bowl which is amazing. The food it was delicious although the prices are above average it is definitely worth as the ingredients are fresh and quality, even the lettuce was crunchy and everything full of flavour, the bacon cheese is a must. The place inside is perfect to relax or to bring your laptop and get some things done, their menu is great and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, they have smoothie bowls also, soups and great vegetarian options, their coffee is also certified and is fresh.

Great service and range of food. We went with a traditional choice of Asian food of Beef Loklak, Khmer Curry, Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken and Fried Rice. All very tasty, and large servings.
