tasty healthy vegan food (but also meat) - Edit
The best (vegan) cheesecake I've had so far in Cambodia. The bowls are good too, a bit pricy but good quality food. The restaurant has plenty of vegan options and some meat dishes as well. I would prefer all vegetarian/vegan but it does help to get your non veggie friends along. Very nice seating area upstairs. Good coffee with cashew milk. I like that they sell (home made) food stuffs like cashew cream and fermented products, even nutritional yeast etc. Good service, good location

Some winners - Edit
I brought my red-neck carnivore brother here, thinking he could have a chicken sandwich while I indulge in vegan. He found the menu description unappealing enough to pass. Why is it on the menu? Anyhow, their Siem Reap location is better in a lot of ways.

fresh and healthy food - Edit
Food tasted great and fresh, although it was quite expensive for Cambodia. Great to find nice vegan food!
Read moreThe earth bowl had too much salad and not enough other ingredients but still had good flavours. The raw chocolate and salted caramel cake was delicious.
The cafe was open and light and had a nice upstairs area.
Pros: great tasting vegan food, friendly staff
Cons: price

Best Western Vegan Food in Phnom Penh - Edit
The cafe smells strongly of cheese, which is offensive to me. Vegan bowls are good but cannot compare with the ones offered by its sister cafe Vibe Cafe in Siem Reap. Has 1 vegan to-go sandwich available. Has a lot of options that could be veganized but not offered as vegan. Wish staff could improve on English since the cafe mainly serves expats and tourists from the West.

Not for budget travellers - Edit
I´m sure the food must be amazing here because of the great reviews, but I had to leave this restaurant when I saw the prices on the menu. The same I did at Vibe in Siem Reap except there I had a latte (which was too small). I went here to get a baguette, because I wanted to have one once in Cambodia, but they didn´t have it anymore on their menu.
Read moreAnd once again I was disappointed that the vegan cakes on the menu were raw cakes. I´m a bit sick of the cashew creams and dates I get in Asia when all I want is a vegan cake.
Pros: Looked very nice and clean, The menu seemed great
Cons: Too expensive for budget travellers, There are cheaper veg restaurants in PP

My favourite place in Asia...! - Edit
I have a gluten allergy and I am lactose intolerant and this place had a lot of options for me.
Read moreI visited their other cafe, Vibe in Siem Reap and they told me about this place, thankfully, it saved my trip!
The staff were so helpful in making sure I had gluten free and they knew what it meant so had obviously had some great training.
Everything I had was delicious and it was very busy and had a buzz.
Pros: Gluten Free Options, Dairy Free Options, The Friendly Staff

Would be 5* if I could - Edit
This is a fabulous place set within its crisp white walls and surrounded in lush greenery everywhere, what a real wonderland.
Read moreAll A/C which was a saviour in the hot Phnom Penh city heat.
Now that food, this may not be 100% Vegan but it's still the best Vegan food that i've had in Cambodia, there amazing Abundance Bowl was just what I needed, I could feel the goodness entering my body. Luckily somehow I had enough room for there RAW chocolate and salted caramel cheesecake and WOW what an explosion of flavour I really wasn't expecting anything like this in Cambodia.
This is a true gem of a place and a must visit.
Pros: Fabulous Vegan Food, Green, Green, Greenery everywhere
Cons: Non, Non, Non

Great find! - Edit
Very cute little place near the palace, lovely menu with so many options it was hard to choose! They have a fridge full of desserts and cold pressed juices that you can take home so I ended up eating some there and taking home even more stuff! They also sell packaged products like seeds, dried fruit, health powders etc.
Read moreThe raw veg cheesecakes were delicious, just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess! They make chocolate truffles that are called protein bites (vegan!) and those were amazing. The raw brownies were pretty good. Green juices were good. The matcha latte was very bland though.
I wish I had enough time to come back and try their salads - it all sounded yummy!!

Great veg/vegan-friendly healthy eats & drinks - Edit
Great place to step into the cool A/C, have a delicious smoothie or juice and take a respite from the Phnom Penh heat. Excellent veggie & vegan food with great non-veg options too. Generous portions. Salads, bowls, sandwiches, desserts, juices, smoothies. Staff are very friendly & service is excellent. I had an amazing bowl with tempeh, rice, greens, pickled veggies, hummus, etc. My boyfriend had a chicken sandwich which was excellent. They deliver. And also sell some homemade foods & bath products.

incredible food! - Edit
This is the best food I've had in so long. Travelled over Thailand and Cambodia and this beats every other veggie cafe hands down. Had the tempeh bowl which was full of flavour and wholesome goodness and then shared the raw chocolate and salted caramel tart plus the mango vanilla cheesecake. Think I had a spiritual experience from the chocolate one it was that good! The coffee is also the best I've had in Asia. Bit pricey but worth every penny, I'm going again tomorrow! Only allowed to give four stars max as it serves meat but the vegan options are the best you'll find in Asia.

Healthy option - Edit
Nice clean peaceful place. They have valuable vegan options, very healthy. I had the backyard salad with cashew cheese. It was good (not a brave recipe though, a little bit flavourkess). I tried a cheesecake, a real sweet gem. Honestly, I had the feeling I was not in Cambodia anymore, because of the flavors and the price (expensive). I asked for extra avocado (1.5 dollars for three pieces of avocado..). I had read the reviews on happy cow and, my expectations were very high.

Fabulous Vegan Options - Edit
This place is brilliant. Whilst it isn't fully vegetarian, the vegan options are plentiful and clearly marked.
Read moreI visited a few times during my stay - the breakfast options are fantastic. My favourite "earth mother" - fried mushrooms, roasted garlic, cashew cheese and superfood pesto on toast - was delicious.
The salads are huge and as good - if not better - than I have had anywhere. The raw cheesecakes were also great. The presentation of the food is also really good.
Some of the best food I ate in Cambodia - and great if you are looking for something a bit different. Only wish they also opened for dinner!
I would give this place 5 stars if Happy Cow allowed me to.
Pros: Amazing, delicious, healthy food, Great clearly labelled vegan options
Cons: Not open for dinner

Deliiiiiish - Edit
This place was totally awesome, really a shame you can't give a non veg place 5 stars. Lots of well marked vegan options, and the staff understands veg very well - i got the milk in a shake swapped for cashew milk. Food was amazing, I ended up going several times. Prices a little expensive by Cambodian standards ($5-6 for an entree) but very cheap by Western standards for the heap of yummy food you get. Easily best place in pp, and I think the best meal I've had in six weeks in SEA.

Delicious and healthy food - Edit
This was a really nice cafe with a lot of vegan options. Has outdoor seating as well. A great place to go if you want healthy and delicious food. I had the "abundance bowl", which was a really good salad topped with bell pepper hummus and cashew cream cheese. We also tried the earth bowl, a fresh juice, a smoothie and a raw cheesecake - everything was good! They have lots of fresh juices, smoothies, several raw vegan cakes and you can get cashew milk for your coffee. I would definitely go here again if we were staying longer in Phnom Penh!
