Location
Brown Coffee operates from a beachfront location on Otres Beach, offering coffee, frappe drinks, and pastries including croissants. The café has substantial outdoor seating overlooking the water and a smaller indoor area. It opens at 6:30 AM daily and stays open until 9:00 PM, making it accessible for breakfast through to evening.
Visitors repeatedly mention the beach view and sea breeze as the main draw—several note it as the primary reason to visit despite mixed feelings about the food quality. The coffee receives consistent praise, though croissants and pastries are described by some as limp or poorly executed, while others find them satisfactory. Service can be slow during busy periods, which visitors attribute to crowding rather than poor staff performance. Cleanliness is where opinions split markedly: some find the bathrooms dirty and smelly, with at least one long-time fan describing it as disappointing compared to the location's earlier days. Beach maintenance around the premises has also been questioned by visitors.
Come early in the morning if you prefer quieter surroundings and better bathroom conditions. The beach view makes it popular for photography and morning relaxation, so arriving before mid-morning typically means easier seating and fewer crowds. The café suits travellers looking for a comfortable spot to watch the water with decent coffee, though those expecting high food standards should manage expectations. Its location near Otres Beach means it works well as a stop during beach time rather than as a destination in itself.

It’s great having a coffee spot overlooking Otres Beach, and while Brown isn’t my favourite café chain, it’s basically what Cambodia has to offer. The croissants are usually limp, and the menu—though inventive on paper—is often poorly executed.
But despite those shortcomings, this particular location is genuinely charming and always an enjoyable place to stop by. Which is likely the reason I’ve been here a dozen times on my trips to Sihanoukville.
They earn 5 stars for the simple fact that they exist in such a pleasant spot.
★★★★☆
Not my favourite but it’s on the beach so I like it. No food offered apart from some pastry which does not look good on display. A lot of outdoor seating but just a few tables indoors. Can get busy.

What a place !!!
Stopped by Brown Coffee in Sihanoukville and had a great experience! I ordered the frappe coffee and a croissant — both were delicious. The coffee was smooth and delightful, and the croissant was perfectly tasty. ☕🥐
Even though the service was a bit slow, it’s understandable since the place was really busy. What I loved most was the outdoor seating area facing the beach — amazing view and fresh sea breeze, perfect for relaxing. 🌊
The only downside was the bathroom, which wasn’t very clean, probably because it’s shared and open to the public. But overall, a lovely spot for a coffee break with a view!
★☆☆☆☆
There's diaper and other trash around on the beach and in the water. Three meters away along the beach from there, a security guy took about 10 min to collect a small bag of trash then take a picture for report, then left. Totally ignore the diaper floating in the water.
The bathroom is wet, dirty and smelly. I didn't expect it to be this much difference compared to the beginning when they just open this location. I'm a fan of all Brown location. But this is just a big disappointment...
★★★★★
Nice view, great coffee, plenty of seats — a perfect morning spot for photos and a relaxed start.
