Hotels near Arts Cafe

Arts Cafe sits at the Crab Market in Kep, positioned right by the water with views across the ocean. It serves Western-style dishes alongside Khmer options, with a small retail shop attached. The cafe operates daily from 7:30 AM to 9:00 PM and doubles as a workspace, with visitors noting the wifi is fast enough for work.

Visitors consistently praise the location and service. The setting overlooking the sea is mentioned repeatedly as a reason to visit, whether for a quick coffee, a full meal, or simply to watch the sunset. Staff are described as friendly and English-speaking. The drinks — iced lattes, espresso, and fruit-based frappes — receive particular mention, with one visitor calling their iced latte the best they'd had in Cambodia. On food, opinions are mixed. A Croque Madame here is a small baguette with eggs, cheese, and bacon, which one visitor found adequate but not memorable; others report simply enjoying their meals without complaint. Coffee and drinks appear to be the stronger draw than the food.

The cafe works well if you want a relaxed waterfront spot in Kep with reliable service and a view. Go anytime from morning through evening — sunset is popular. It suits solo visitors, groups, and families. If you're planning a full meal, the Western dishes are straightforward rather than ambitious, so set expectations accordingly; if you're after good coffee or a drink by the ocean, it's a solid choice. The location near the Crab Market and beach makes it convenient if you're exploring that part of Kep.
