"Brew Cart" ripoff attempt

Discussions about restaurants, cafes, coffee shops or bars in Cambodia. Feel free to write any reviews you have, whether its the best burger you've had in Phnom Penh or the worse pizza in Kampot, we want to read it! Discussions about Khmer dishes are also in here, or you can leave your own. If you own a restaurant, feel free to let the expat community know about it here so that we can come check it out. Found a favorite cafe or have a place we should avoid? Tell us about it. Asian recipes & questions are always welcome.

This thread is now going off the rails, and I am just going to let it.

Must be one hell of a cart. For 2 bucks you can enjoy your espresso at eric kayser on riverside.
But I don´t wanna say anything otherwise some alcoholic will come and say something like " if you can´t even affort a 4 dollar coffee what are you doing here?"

Is that far from the place with the $1 draft beers? I might move to the riverside. Looks like I could save up to $30 a month!

You can get decent coffee in Phnom Penh for 2000 riel.

'Business Development Managers' (aka salesmen) and other wankers have made people believe no decent coffee can be had from local street vendors, or in any cafe for under $5, even if you are wearing a watch-shaker.

Ignore them, they are practised liars.

Fruit shakes are 3000 Riel. You're being ripped off.

You could go to Mekong River on the corner of 118 street and Riverside and get a draft for 3000 Riel. Then you could just walk around the corner and get a $1.60 espresso at Burger King, if you want to save some money. :plus1:

But they sell espresso shots out of a cart in BKK3 for $1.50.

Shit. Now I'll have to calculate gasoline usage on my Chaly. I wonder if the run from the riverside to BKK3 will use more or less than $0.10 worth of fuel??
