If there’s one thing that makes Siem Reap an amazing destination, it’s the sense of community that you’ll observe even as a traveller in a foreign land. Especially now that the city is trying to bounce back from the pandemic, you’ll notice local establishments supporting each other in every way possible. 

At The Aviary Hotel, we are a huge believer in the power of local partnerships. Our success has never been just about us; it has always been a collective effort from our local community.

Here are some of the local businesses that we proudly support:

1. Socola

Socola allows you to experience the goodness of French desserts in our local setting. From their mouthwatering lime pie to the infamous Krumchy, every bite brings the kind of comfort that reminds you why dessert is that part of the meal you should never skip. 

Socola’s bestsellers are available at The Flock Café, a quaint café that gives you the perfect tropical vibes located right at The Aviary Hotel.

2. The Muffin Man

Dieng Dorm is known as the “Muffin Man”, a local who pursued his passion and started baking the best muffins Siem Reap has to offer. He grew up poor and worked his way through life, but that didn’t stop him from pursuing his dreams. 

Now, his muffins are available not only in his own café, but also across different cafés all over the city, including our Flock Café.

3. WAT Chocolate

Cambodian Cacao delivers a unique chocolatey taste, which you can experience through WAT Chocolate. Another amazing brand available at the Flock Café, every cacao bean used to make their chocolates is sustainably harvested and is proudly made within Siem reap from bean to bar. 

Although they offer a wide variety of chocolate bars, their pralines remain as their bestsellers. The rich flavour and smooth texture will keep you coming back for more.

4. Eggscellent

The Aviary Hotel is known to have a delicious breakfast spread at Plumage Restaurant every morning, and the omelette station is one of its best parts. It’s not just about how the chef prepares those eggs; it’s more about the source of those eggs.

Eggscellent is a local chicken farm where the fowls freely roam all over the place, reducing the stress they encounter and allowing them to lay high-quality eggs. Although the farm is fairly small, they have around 4,000 chickens under their care.

5. Kombucha

Did you know that not only is kombucha a delicious and refreshing drink, but it also has tons of amazing health benefits by helping your digestion, ridding your body of toxins, and boosting your energy? 

Have a taste by trying out one of the delicious kombucha drinks by PHKA Siem Reap that comes in apple green tea, dragon fruit lime, passion fruit and original flavour! 

6. Water Kefir by GIVE Kefir

If you’re looking for a unique thirst quencher, then order a bottle of Water Kefir at the Flock Café. It doesn’t just taste good, it actually helps make your body feel good, too.

A probiotic super drink, every ingredient used in making it is locally sourced. It’s the perfect thing to drink if you’re suffering from any type of digestive illness or if you simply want a healthy refreshment.

The truth is, nothing beats local love. The shared mission of promoting Siem Reap and its natural beauty, after all, is never a one-man show.

The city is the sum of all its parts, and that’s something that The Aviary Hotel will always be proud to support.
