A café workday in Phnom Penh runs on decent connections. Cambodia had 12.0 million internet users in late 2025, 67.3 percent of the population, and Ookla measured median download speeds of 53.58 Mbps on mobile networks and 49.32 Mbps on fixed broadband at the end of that year.1 By that measure, a phone hotspot is no step down when a café router struggles.
Cafés do the work of offices and study rooms here. Seasia described them in 2025 as places where people work remotely, hold meetings, study, make content and get out of the tropical heat.2 A 2026 Seasia report on remote workers named BKK1, Toul Kork and the Factory Phnom Penh campus as the areas that draw entrepreneurs, freelancers and startup founders.3
Local tip: For a full day online, start at a café with long posted hours, such as Deja Cafe on Street 454 (06:30–21:00), and keep mobile data as a backup; Cambodia's median mobile download beat fixed broadband at the end of 2025.
Where these cafés are: Toul Tom Poung (Russian Market) (14), Daun Penh & Central Market (11), Riverside & Royal Palace (10), BKK2 & BKK3 (7), Sen Sok (5), 7 Makara & Olympic (4), Toul Kork (4), Boeng Tumpun & Mean Chey (3), Teuk Laak (3), BKK1 (2), Tonle Bassac & Boeng Trabek (2), Chbar Ampov (1), Koh Pich (Diamond Island) (1).

Free Wi-Fi was already a draw in 2007, when Cafe Sentiment in Phnom Penh offered free Wi-Fi and charged 2,000 riel for a coffee indoors, against 1,200 riel at an outdoor market; its operations director, Luu Meng, summed up the concept as Western design and quality at a Cambodian price.4 At the time, chains such as Coffee and Tea World, with four branches in the city, were aiming at a small but growing middle class.4
Toul Tom Poung, south of the center around the Russian Market, has the widest choice. On Street 454, Deja Cafe at No. 64 opens 06:30–21:00 and Cozy Coffee 09:00–20:00, and Coffee Culture at 100 Street 430 runs 08:00–21:00. coLAB is at 263 Street 163, The Reading Home Cafe on Street 155 and BrewHouse at 19 Street 488.
Daun Penh comes second and the riverside third. Cam Cup Café on Preah Ang Nonn Street (102) opens 06:00–20:00 and Coffee Revolution at 16AE0 Street 252 08:00–17:00; Bloom Cafe is at 40 Street 222. Near the river, Fox Tale at 2 Street 246 serves Tuesday to Sunday 07:00–16:00, Connecting Hands Training Cafe at 42c Street 178 Monday to Saturday 09:00–18:00, and Olala Cafe sits at 245 Sisowath Quay.
In BKK2 and BKK3, Dutch & Bean on Street 310 is open daily 07:00–21:00, and BCBG Café keeps going until 22:00. In BKK1, Lost Plate singles out the ground-floor booths at Noir Coffee on Preah Trasak Paem Street (63) as suited to laptop work.6
For work that runs past midnight, a 2025 remote-work guide described Endless Café at 65 Preah Ang Phanavong Street (240) as open 24 hours, with fast internet, plenty of power outlets and no extra charge for Wi-Fi or air-conditioning.5 365 Coffee at 97 Street 484, Kongfu in Tonle Bassac, M Cafe on Wat Koh street and RUPP Blend Cafe in Toul Kork also run day and night, all with Wi-Fi.
The same guide covered Suzie Time Café at 59A Street 350, a time café where you pay for hours instead of drinks: in 2025 an hour cost US$3 and a full day US$6, with unlimited drinks, air-conditioning and printer use included.5 It opened Monday to Friday 08:00–19:00 and weekends 09:30–17:30, for walk-ins only.5 Near the Russian Market, the guide noted no time limit on tables at Nutty Bakery, No. 23 Street 446, open Tuesday to Sunday 08:00–21:00.5
