Cam Cup Cafe

Phnom Penh


This elegant little cafe is the perfect way to make the iconic main post office relevant once more for a new generation of travellers. It offers fresh brews, herbal teas and some of the best-value Khmer dishes you can hope to find in this sort of setting.

Decoration includes old postage stamps and outmoded machinery from the bygone days of the postal system.
