Whats Our Story?

Cafe Siem Reap The Little Red Fox Espresso

The Little Red Fox Espresso opened late 2014 with a simple vision to bring what we love about Australian cafe culture to Siem Reap then shake it all up with we love about Cambodia!

Our vision for the cafe was to create a space that is uniquely enjoyable for our customers and obviously our amazing team.

Since the beginning we have continued to drive our focus towards many community projects. Music, art and film (both national and international) have featured heavily in our journey. Some of our favorite memories include the week long music festival ‘Chubmet’ in 2017. Also, catering for the film ‘First They Killed My Father’ directed by Angelina Jolie for NETFLIX.

Furthermore, The Little Red Fox Espresso focuses on up-skilling, educating and training those who otherwise would not normally get the opportunity to learn management skills, our team is taught through the practice and freedom of creativity.
In addition, we are big on socially responsible and environmental business practices. Sharing that knowledge with our team in addition to always looking to better ourselves along the way.

Finally, The Little Red Fox Espresso is not a NGO or a Social Enterprise. However, we are a business which is passionate about advocating for what is right, both in our cafe and in our community.

Cafe Siem Reap The Little Red Fox Espresso

The Little Red Fox Espresso is the dream of long term mates Adam Rodwell & David Stirling who wanted to bring their passion of Australian cafe culture to Siem Reap and meld it together with the truly unique Cambodian spirit.

No cafe experience can be better then the experience its team has day to day. In our Den we make decisions as a team with how we run The Little Red Fox Espresso. Furthermore, we ensure that each choice has a positive ethical and environmental impact. It is undoubtedly the best of coincidences that good hospitality choices – those that are good for our land and people, for the environment, for the body and mind – are also delicious and enjoyable.

The Little Red Fox Espresso teams talents are diverse, however we’re united by one thing: an overarching passion for creating a special space that melds our cultures together to create a truly unique environment for our guests.
