What’s Our Story?
It all started in 2003 when one of the founders came to Kampot, and met a group of deaf teenagers. They wanted a space where they could meet, build connections, and practice the newly developed Khmer sign language.
In 2006, Epic Arts Café officially opened its doors. The ground floor was transformed into a café, while the upper floor became a hub for creativity, offering inclusive dance and art classes. After relocating two years ago, the café has continued to thrive in its current space.
Today, Epic Arts Café proudly employs 13 staff members, including 6 persons with disabilities. As a shining example of an inclusive workplace, we strive to demonstrate that diversity enriches every environment. By using our order forms, you can help create an empowering experience for our deaf team members—and together, we can celebrate the belief that every person counts (EPIC).
Epic Arts Café operates on a model centered around providing employment, training, and empowerment. Many of our dedicated team members have progressed through the Epic Arts Programs, reflecting our commitment to promoting from within and nurturing an environment where every individual can excel.
Every purchase you make with us directly supports Epic Arts Projects, helping to fund our initiatives like inclusive education and community outreach. Together, we can continue building opportunities that inspire and uplift communities.
Epic Creations
Discover our shop located upstairs from the café, where creativity meets purpose. We showcase unique creations from Epic Arts students alongside talented makers from across Cambodia. Our mission is to support local NGOs and artists, working hand-in-hand with organizations that share our values of inclusion, equality, and fair wages.
Explore a diverse selection of art, t-shirts, postcards, jewelry, and so much more! All profits go back into Epic Arts programmes.

Amazing place with a wonderful message. I’d say I’ll keep coming back just to support the mission but honestly the food/coffee is awesome too and the portions generous. The coffee + cake deal is great value for money. The staff are super sweet and look happy. Thank you for such a wonderful initiative 🏼

This is the place you have to visit while in Kampot! Great food, bagels were really tasty and probably one of best I tried in Cambodia so far. Coffee is also very nice.
This place has something more, bigger purpose, atmosphere, inclusion, just visit and see yourself.

The best place in Kampot, high quality dishes, amazing staff, and a cafe that is also a home, you can feel it by looking at the connection between the employees.

Cannot recommend this place enough. The food is absolutely fantastic, so many great vegetarian and vegan options, incredible service and to top it all off, a wonderful initiative. The cafe itself is so beautiful to sit in, there is a lovely little gift shop with many artisanal products to purchase and support other local initiatives, AND the homemade cookies, brownies and cakes are drool worthy. The brownie is so addictive.
