Very good cakes, falaffel a little blend - Edit
We ordered avocado toast and falaffel bowl. The avocado toast was very good, but the falaffel had no herbs or seasoning so it didnt taste much. The juice was good and the cakes was really good. Minus is the high price.
Read morePros: Healthy, Sugarfree, Many vegetarian and vegan options
Cons: Expencive, Falaffel had no seasoning

Amazing - Edit
This place is great.
Read moreThere are so many vegan options, the food is delicious and the restaurant and staff are lovely.
We had the vegan burger, falafel salad and cheese sandwich. And for dessert we had raw brownie, salted caramel & chocolate torte and raw mango & vanilla cheesecake.
The vegan burger and falafel salad were both really good and were big portion sizes and the choc torte and mango & vanilla cheesecake were really sweet and creamy. The brownie however was a bit dry, but overall the food tasted amazing.
The portion sizes are big, so it is well worth the money.
100% recommend going here.
Pros: Lots of vegan options, Really delicious , Healthy food

Great vegan options - Edit
Not cheap but the flavours were fresh and delicious. My partner and I chose a vegan bowl each and they were both bright, colorful, balanced and filling. Son had a burger to which he added cheese, and we shared some sweet potato wedges with guacamole and salsa. Drinks were a mango madness smoothie (more of a frappe) which was beautiful, the master tonic which was okay, and the golden mylk which would have been better if it was cold. All in all a good, healthy, filling lunch - not cheap, but I’m sure our bodies thanked us.

Not a bad place for Western food - Edit
Came here for lunch and ordered the Abundance Bowl, a ginger turmeric tea, and a chocolate caramel cake for dessert. To start off with the not so good—the bowl was just so-so. It was a bit bland and way too overstuffed to eat and not make a mess. The way it was, I could only pick at the stuff at the top (aka the good stuff) and work my way down; the bottom half of the bowl was mostly just lettuce. I'd much rather they had used a wider bowl and flattened the whole thing so I could tackle it horizontally.
Read moreNow, the good—the tea was made with real sliced ginger and turmeric, which was just what I needed as I was feeling under the weather. I also enjoyed the chocolate caramel cake. Staff was friendly and attentive; my water glass never went empty. Considering the highest possible rating is a 4, I feel like 3 is fair.
Pros: good tea/dessert, friendly staff

Vibes poorer sister spin off - Edit
Similar menu items as vibe. Presentation and quality lower. Fresh juice is premixed as I tried ordering without one ingredient not possible as pre mixed. BS hype about pressed juice being 30-40% better than anything else in pp. well news for you whole food cafe, the same veg put in a blender captures 100%. This place is just a spin off to try to collect a bigger market. To add insult to injury I had just come from the dentist and had to put up with staff sniggering at my speech impediment

Good food but quite expensive - Edit
I had breakfast here when I first arrived in Phnom Penh. Really lovely looking place, lots of nice areas to sit. Also good for working. Food was really nice and the coffee comes with awesome cashew milk, but you pay mostly European prices. It's okay if you want one special meal after a while of travelling, but I wouldn't go back and pay that amount of money tbh.
Read morePros: great atmosphere, delicious and healthy
Cons: expensive

Delicious Vegan Options - Edit
We had the Mediterranean bowl, Falafel bowl, sweet potato fries and a couple of raw desserts. The bowls were so incredibly delicious, I'm not sure how I would every go about constructing a bowl with such wonderful complementary flavours. 10/10. The desserts were yummy too.
Read moreThis place would get a five star review if, like it's brother Vibe Cafe, they didn't serve meat and dairy. If you did it with Vibe, just make it all vegan, your food is so good that it'd make people view veganism in a whole new light.
Pros: Incredible flavours, Healthy and delicious, Lovely Space
Cons: Not 100% vegan (be more like Vibe)

Primo hermano del Vibe pero con Carme y pescado. - Edit
Hoy fui a probar, me llamo la atención que en la web el menú de Vibe y Backyard eran al 75 % idénticos. Pensé que era una copia, al sentarme en una mesa con sofá muy cómodo vi publicidad del Vibe, el camarero me confirmó están hermanados.
Read moreLa carta fabulosa, para mi sobra la proteína animal, creo que quienes van ahí vienen por Vegano. Aunque quizás me equivoque, es mi humilde opinión, el lugar me gusto muchísimo, todo muy fresco y atrayente. Mucha gente, garantía de frescura. Precios altos.
Pros: platos bien presentados , carta sana, mayoría de Vegano
Cons: sirven animales, precio

Nice hidden location - Edit
Nice hidden location, great simple decor, friendly staff.
Read moreBut food is pretty average. We had the burgers which have a heavy flavourless patty and sweet white bread for buns.
And falafel which were really dry and seemed completely herb and spice less.
The brownie was crazy small for the price. The guacamole tasted like unwell mashed avocado and served without bread or anything to eat with.
The teas and drinks were nice. Overall okay but there is room for improvement. Keep it up guys, the idea is good but a bit of work is needed.
