Brown Coffee

Brown Coffee is a Cambodian coffeehouse chain. Brown Coffee was founded in 2009 by five cousins in their 20s, who began the company with a $150,000 loan from relatives.[1] By the 2010s, it had become one of the country's most popular cafes, competing with international rivals like Starbucks and Gloria Jean's.[2][3][4] It has been credited with introducing Western coffee and cafe culture to Cambodia.[1][3][5] In 2025, it opened a branch at the former house of Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann.[6]
