THE BARN is a Berlin-based specialty coffee roastery and café founded in 2010 by Ralf Rüller in response to the city’s limited access to high‑quality coffee – and it quickly became one of the most influential names in the European specialty coffee scene. Their philosophy centers on uncompromising single‑origin sourcing, direct and fair relationships with farmers, meticulous roasting, and serving coffee that highlights authentic flavour profiles. Today Ralf remains deeply involved in maintaining the brand’s quality and direction, working with a dedicated team that values both craft and community.

From a single café in Berlin’s Scheunenviertel, THE BARN has grown into an international concept with multiple locations – from Berlin and Munich to London, Mallorca, South Korea, and Dubai. Despite this growth, they maintain strict quality standards and a simple, respectful approach to coffee service that honours origin, farmers, and the drinker alike.
