Top 5 Roasteries in Berlin. 1st place — The Barn. The Barn went from being misunderstood to becoming world-renowned. No shortcuts, no adjustments — just a deep trust in the product and the craft. This isn’t just a café. It’s a school of taste. And every sip is a reminder: great coffee needs nothing but itself.
You walk into a café. No sugar. No milk. Not even Wi-Fi. And that’s no accident.
In 2010, Ralf Rüller opened The Barn — a coffee roastery built on a single principle: let the coffee speak. No flavor masking. No compromises. Just clarity, terroir, and deep respect for the farmer’s work.
They serve only single-origin coffees. No blends. Every farm is carefully selected. Every bean tells a story — of place, climate, and people. Roasting is done on a Probat, with absolute precision to preserve the unique character of each origin.
The early days weren’t easy. Guests were confused: why no sugar? No milk? Why can’t I sit down with my laptop? Some left. But Ralf believed that when coffee is treated with respect, it doesn’t need anything added. It tells its story — if you let it.
Today, The Barn is a global benchmark for quality. In 2019, it was recognized as the best specialty coffee roaster. Their secret? Loyalty to principle, and an unshakable belief in flavor.
