TINI Cafe + Bar

As its name suggests, TINI Cafe + Bar is a tiny, two-story cafe found in the heart of Russian Market, otherwise known as Phsar Tuol Tom Poung. The community was dubbed as such after a large number of Russian expats lived in the area during the 1980s. It remains one of the most popular areas in the city, as it boasts of many delicious restaurants, a huge market selling every souvenir you would ever need, and more.
