The Barn Roastery

The Barn is the third-wave coffee roastery Ralf Rüller opened on Auguststraße in 2010, one of the most influential operations in European third-wave, the roaster behind several of Berlin's better cafés and the model many German roasteries built around. The Auguststraße flagship has limited seating, the espresso is calibrated daily, the bean-take-home programme runs all year. The Schönhauser Allee Prenzlauer Berg branch is the larger café-format outlet. For the audience this is the coffee booking that pairs with a Hamburger Bahnhof gallery morning or a Hackescher Markt walking afternoon.
