The Rosemary Baked Pastry coffee shop is a very cute and cosy western oasis in the busy BKK1 district of Phnom Penh. It has a very European feel to the interior of the coffee shop – a brightly sundrenched space with marble and wrought iron tables - with only 8 of spots which could easily be out of London or Paris. There is even an outdoor table perched outside the French window with a view of the street for people watching. It is quite a delightful spot indeed, I would say, as an international seasoned traveler. It makes for a quiet breakfast, lunch, brunch or afternoon tea nook which I highly recommend to you. The café does not serve dinner and closes at 630pm.
For my brunch visit on a hot weekend morning, I had a refreshing passion fruit soda (made from using fresh passion fruits no less - as I photographed - and not syrupy cordial. I know my passion fruit as I am Sri Lankan-American!) and a chicken croissant sandwich which was very good. I loved the tender slivers of smoked chicken and thousand island dressing in my croissant sandwich – very flavourful indeed.
What I liked about this location was that it was sundrenched, easily accessible from the street yet pretty quiet inside at the same time. The service was polite and excellent overall. The wait for beverages and food to your table was not too long at all.
The Rosemary coffee shop offers a good variety of dishes from: freshly baked pastries like pain au chocolat, pain au raisin and fresh croissants as part of their bakery repertoire. The staff told me the pastries are homemade and baked fresh each morning. Other items on the menu include: teriyaki noodles, a wide range of croissant sandwiches, a range of breakfast sets, shashuka, vegan breakfast options and ice cream! Of course there is an excellent range of coffees on offer to boot.
This delightful spot is open from 0700am to 630pm daily for 7 days a week.
I found this café to be a perfect spot to read the newspaper, a book, plus do some light work on your laptop and start a beautiful day or weekend. Enjoy your Rosemary Baked Pastry café bliss! I’m so happy to be able to recommend them to you in...
Read moreI was looking for a place to study near Meta House, as I have a German class in the evening. I looked it up on Google and came across this place with a variety of croissant options. There are breakfast sets, sandwich options, and ice cream. At first, I just wanted to have some matcha, so I decided to order a matcha espresso, which cost only $2.30, it's okay, tho. It would be great if the bakery also had a matcha latte available. I came here after lunch, so I wanted to have some ice cream, but sadly, the vanilla flavour wasn't available, so I decided to order a strawberry croissant ice cream.
It turns out the croissant ice cream is more delicious than I expected, so I guess their signature menu is croissants.
If you want to have a very decent meal or snacks but you're very busy with work, you can consider this bakery. Highly recommended!!!
What impressed me the most was their service, and the staff were very friendly and thoughtful.
I give only 3 stars for the atmosphere since the toilet is way too small. Perhaps the shop owner can consider opening the bakery at some other places that are more...
Read moreRosemary Bakery Cafe Pastry. Aircon, bit small but ok sofa, western pop music bit loud. Latte looks ok, bit watery, temperature pretty low. Americano lacked the fragrance but had some body and was smooth so totally ok for 1.75usd. Croissant, flaky and crunchy on outside, slightly moist but could do better, the butter smell was somewhat cheap but, for 1.75 usd maybe cannot complain. Pudding was more like bread on top and the caramel part was so...
