CURRENT EXHIBITION
Java Toul Kork
Migration is a new body of work by Chhan Dina that draws our attention to the world of birds, an endlessly fascinating subject for the artist. Cranes, finches and sparrows, in varied tones of ink and acrylic, emerge from a white background. The artist’s well-established style captures their dynamic energy with paint and ink splashed and dripped across the canvases.
OUR STORY
Family of cafés & community art spaces in Phnom Penh
Java Creative Café is a café and community art space, established in 2000 at its first location near the Independence Monument. It was created by Dana Langlois with a small team of seven. Now, with partner La Sros, they operate a pair of sister cafés & art spaces located in Toul Kork and Toul Tom Poung.

Java has pioneered a creative enterprise model in Cambodia, using resources of the café to support non-profit and independent art programs. Across the three spaces, it presents a curated series of exhibitions, Creative Generation award program and live performances in a black box theater.
Java has been running creative cafés in Phnom Penh since 2000 and is committed to providing quality f&b and artistic experiences.

CREATIVE PROGRAM

Nice coffee shop with good foods options and drinks. I love the tall tables in the middle as I like to stand working. Give it a try if you're around. Vannak Lach
