"The Barn which opened in 2010 in hopes of reestablishing a serious coffee culture in Berlin, serves some of the best espresso we’ve had in the city—or anywhere in Germany, for that matter. Beans come from places like Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Costa Rica; the espressos are bitter and bold; and the macchiatos, with their frothy fleur-de-lis, are as pretty as they are painstaking. Don’t expect to find sugar or milk easily here, though—these guys are purists." - Eliot Stein
