The Lonely Tree Café is a social enterprise set up by the Apostolic Prefecture of Battambang with the help of S.A.U.C.E
and Catholic Mission Australia. Our aim is to provide formation, employment, and empowerment to vulnerable youth at risk of
social and labour exclusion, while redirecting profits to support multiple humanitarian lines of action of the Apostolic
Prefecture of Battambang.

Located at the heart of Battambang city, the Lonely Tree Cafe is a cosy, stylish café–restaurant. Brick walls, tall ceilings, bamboo and elegant tables characterise the main restaurant situated on the top floor. We offer a variety of Spanish, Mediterranean, Western and Khmer dishes, exquisite fruit juices, shakes, and desserts.
Our handicrafts include summer shirts and trousers, traditional Khmer “Kramas”, a variety of purses, wallets, accessory bags, and hand-carved wooden souvenirs, among other items. We care about preserving Cambodian cultural heritage, and therefore our handicrafts are made using traditional methods by skilled artisans whose knowledge and techniques have been passed down through generations.
The vast majority of items sold at the Lonely Tree Store are crafted by people with disabilities, mostly survivors of landmine accidents and poliomyelitis, from the programs we support across Cambodia.
We want to create a welcoming environment inspired by “Laudato Si’” for our customers by offering good service and high-quality food, as well as the opportunity to acquire unique Cambodian handicrafts made with the finest fabrics.
