Coffee with Added Creativity
Phnom Penh

At Java Creative Café, coffee, culture and conversation flow together in a space that functions as a coffee shop, gallery and community salon. Known for its regular art exhibitions, poetry readings and panel discussions, the café offers travellers a relaxed introduction to Cambodia’s contemporary creative scene over thoughtfully prepared food and coffee.

More than two decades after its launch, Java Creative Café has stayed true to its founding formula: fresh, made-from-scratch dishes served from breakfast to dinner. Beyond dining, Java is cherished as a cornerstone of Cambodia’s art landscape, hosting hundreds of expos and supporting dialogue, collaborations and experimentation within the local creative community.
