Epic Arts Café
Established in 2006, the idea for the Epic Arts Café grew from a desire to provide work opportunities for deaf and disabled people as well as a hang-out for deaf students. Today, the Cafe stands as a model for an inclusive working environment within the local community, providing employment for ten people and raising funds for the work of Epic Arts.
At present the café generates enough revenue to be self-sufficient, and also provides a small amount of monetary support to Epic Arts' programmes.
Already a busy hub for the local community, the café also enjoys a regular stream of international visitors, usually armed with a copy of The Lonely Planet, a good appetite and a desire to learn more about what we do.
The Deaf Development Programme is also situated upstairs in the café's Community Space, where we welcome all members of the local deaf community to meet, socialise and receive information.
The cafe is open daily from 7am till 5.30pm.
Some of the comments from Trip Advisor:
"We stayed in Kampot for a couple of weeks and visited epic arts a number of times. The food was excellent, the pumpkin and coconut soup in particular. The chocolate brownies are the best I've come across so far in South East Asia, and the scones the best anywhere ever!"
"There is nothing we didn't like about Epic Cafe. The staff are on the ball, the food is really good and you are helping a good cause. Went back to same place for lunch a few times!"
"Any time I go to Kampot, I ALWAYS eat at Epic Arts Cafe. Often, no where else! You just can't go wrong there. The variety of the menu is fantastic, all is delicious, and the staff are well-trained and attentive."
