Cambodia has long had a coffee culture, but as recently as a decade ago there were no modern cafés in Phnom Penh. Enter Kuoch Sokly and Chy Seyla, who in early 2003 opened T&C Sihanuok Boulevard near Olympic Stadium, turning a new leaf in Cambodian café culture history. “When we opened our first T&C outlet, people asked us why anyone would pay $1 for coffee in a big air-conditioned café, when they could buy a cup on the streets for 2,000 riel,” Sokly says. But having spent time overseas, the two young men sensed they were onto something and that they were ahead of the curve. Before long, civil servants and businessmen were gathering at the café to hold meetings over coffee and food, Sokly says.
