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 family of four cafés & art spaces located across Phnom Penh, including Independence Monument, Toul Kork, Toul Tom Poung and the newly established Futures Factory.
