In the middle of Phnom Penh, standing in Boeung Keng Kong1. This is a hidden warm café called Pleng Chan, a unique coffee shop that combines the both lively and music background presence of music with a natural environment. I don't want to complain about the weather outside anymore, as I step into this cozy café surrounded by nature's warmth. The temperature inside feels heavenly, you know how the aroma of coffee and tea fills the air of café interior. Average slight chill from the air conditioning mixes with the coolness coming from the nature which is surrounding plants. Even though I experienced some inconvenience outside, with the wind blowing random trash and sand onto my shoes, now I choose to simply let it goes.
A Variety of Seating Options
Pleng Chan offers many types of seating options to suit every mood and preference. Whether you prefer a comfort armchair, a high bar wooden chairor a comfortable cushion by the window glass there's a spot for everyone. One particularly enchanting feature is the seating area near the stone-designed water feature.
While opening the door to this cozy seeing everyone is so busy doing different kind of work, some people go here for playing guitar, some read book enjoy their coffee and some are so busy with their computer. Yess you will get the mix of vibe. What I like more about this Pleng Chan again is that you can do anything what you like, no one is gonna give a weird look, that what make you so comfortable instead. Everyone seems to be only busy with their drink and computer.
Start taking my picture, I look around and nobody is gonna give a glimpse on you. This is just a dream vibe. Along with that The calming music playing softly in the background by one college students creates a serene atmosphere, really cut down my stresses of the outside world.
Love Among the Books 📖
I just checked out the comic book, and it looks like there's only about 20% English in it. Most of it is images and Japanese. Do you usually read comics?
Pleng Chan have a great seat space near a book display where book lover can choose any book they like to read here, you can read them since morning to evening. Oh the super safe for fast readers I think! Surround yourself with a collection of literary works from various genres, what a nice time literature alongside your coffee.
Want to Create a mini Musical Theater?
What's a cool place for musicians if you are good at music instruments? In here, the guitar, pianos is displayed, but everyone who participated here can bring these instrument for performing as well. I love this rent free, I was planning to visit here again and play this piano in the early morning instead, which means no one gonna no what my playing sounds like.
The music lover they can play all the instruments without time limited, just show your talent because which means everybody sitting on their lounge will also listen to your voice or your performance like guitar or pianos, wow what a nice idea. With its fresh green decoration, creative design, and a variety of seating options, this coffee shop offers a wonderful experience for music lovers and coffee lovers.
They truly understands the power of music in enhancing a coffee shop experience. But I have to mentioned that the music isn't that loud, it was so soft with the little smell of tea. The carefully choice of playlist adds a touch of soulful elegance to the already serene atmosphere already. Whether you're a fan of pop, classical, or modern melodies, Pleng Chan's music selection has something to delight every music lover's ears. The music seems to change from traditional to modern without making everyone bored.
White Choc Crème
Well, I never expected white chocolate to be this amazing. They got me a strong chocolate, which is really suit my preference, but you know? It was a bit confusing, my friend was stuck between vanilla and white chocolate she can't mentioned by drink when I ask her. Anyway, gotta say I'm glad they made it strong since I enjoy this taste more.
Natural Elements and Creative Design
Pleng Chan's interior is designed with messy green decorations like a tropical garden, as this café doesn’t have outdoor space at all so all the stuff for decorations no need to separate, all here which really brings the beauty of the whole world of nature vibes. I was impressed by the potted plants and hanging flowers which is create a lively natural stunning area.

Here, you can enjoy your coffee while watching fish swim forward towards or shake, creating a moment that connects you with both nature and the art of music.
Even though it was almost 7 pm already, the coffee shop hadn't turned on all the bright lights yet. People here seem to prefer a cozy and intimate atmosphere rather than bright lights. I personally love this warm lighting. I found myself staying here longer than my last visit. The natural vibe in this place allows me to relax and not to be hurry, sure hurry is my mood all the time, but this coffee shop really treat me well.
How I ended?
At the end, I made my last-minute by decided to explore all the historical decorations. I cross upon a statue of Prohm, which you might remember from my previous blog about visiting Siem Reap and the temple called Ta Prohm.
What's the uniqueness? Sure probably! The white pot with leaf being surrounded the statue were adding extra incredibly beautiful and serene.
