The Barn - Café Kranzler

Very flavorful coffee. That deserves five stars. There is not a big option of food and what is on offer is fine. You can work from here but not during weekends. Unfortunately there is no in-house toilet. If you capture a table far behind close to the windows you get a nice view of Kudamm. Worth visiting this place for a hearty coffee.

Get inside the small door next to Superdry, and take the lift to the second floor, you will get to “The Barn”. It’s circular, beautiful and with a nice terrace. The coffee is excellent and you can also buy it in grains or beans. You can also find some merchandise. Not only the coffee is very good but also the cakes are excellent.

*Writing as a person who works at the barn without any obligation to write a review on behalf of the company* We're a dedicated team striving to serve specialty coffee (and some sweet delicacies) to you in the heart of Charlottenburg. I've seen many bad reviews of the people who come to the "Cafe Kranzler" and instead find The Barn. They proceeded to give us negative reviews and many times misbehave with us in the cafe as well. The Cafe Kranzler was not bought, sold or closed by the barn (nor by the people who work here, so why misbehave with us?). The barn only now rents the same space as that old cafe. If you're disappointed for the closure of kranzler cafe, please don't misbehave with us or give us a bad review. Try and taste our coffee rationally and then judge us. Come here with an open mind, enjoy our coffee and the view. We work very hard to be there for you to enjoy a cup of coffee here :)

the best coffee shop with best employees! girls and boys always share knowledge about the beans and prepare your perfect cup of coffee. View as a bonus, wonderful in any weather . LOVE YOU GUYS ❤️

I stumbled upon this hidden gem of a coffee bar in Berlin, and I'm so glad I did! The round terrace with its breathtaking view of the city is absolutely enchanting. The fact that you have to enter through a clothing store and take an elevator to reach the top deck only adds to the charm and makes it feel like a well-kept secret. The coffee and ambiance here are both top-notch. A must-visit for anyone looking for a unique coffee experience with a view!

This is not my first time visiting The Barn, but the atmosphere here is just so special. In any season it’s a great place to meet your friend or just sit quietly with your thoughts enjoying cup of coffee, the view, delicious desserts and have a little chat with workers there, who are incredibly kind and helpful. Thank you Mateo and Anastasiia for making our stay cozy. 🫶🏼

Reviews are confusing but in reality it's only clash between old and new. Old people don't like modern style of coffee (specialty arabica is SOUR!) and they dream about old style of bitter robusta taste together with thick cream cakes. This place is nice and coffee is great. Only problem is that it's bit hidden in the building.

I don’t understand why it has so bad rating. The Barn is an epic roaster, one of the most important roasters in Germany. They might not speak German, I don’t care, the prices are a bit more expensive than average cafes? Maybe, but its F the barn! The place is beautiful, the guys are great and coffee was perfect! I really don’t understand why they have a 3,3

What happened to the beautiful cafe? They've turned it into a pretend Starbucks with canned music and uninspired staff (that don't even speak German - which is fine if you're just going to live here but if you want to work on Ku'damm it seems like you should also speak the language?) Instead of a true (original) Berlin experience - the real Berlin - you get whatever all the expats think Berlin is supposed to be. They took all the chairs and tables out and put in weird uncomfortable benches. Such a loss for the city! Why? And it doesn't even have a WC?

[COFFEE] Looking for good coffee we found this place through another app to spot good coffee places. Unfortunately on yelp it has not the best reviews BUT good we went anyway. The place is a bit hidden - two ways to go up one is through a shop where u can use the incredible stairs or take the lift. The place was never really busy what we can't understand because the service is awesome, the coffee is far the best around this area and the location is unique. Well if you need a break and you are close by - go up! Great coffee some snacks like - sweet - savoury and fresh. Enough space inside and outside.

I asked for milk in my cold brew and was told it was against their policy to add milk to the coffee. I asked if I was allowed to add sugar and apparently that was okay. I just really don't care for (expensive) iced coffee without milk. It was disappointing.

So I do not understand the reviews here! Sure it is NOT the old Café Kranzler, in which my grandma enjoyed her "Donau Welle Cake" during West Berlin times ... However, there is an excellent coffee a great view and a great vibe! I like it! My grandma probably not. You have to decide for yourself whether you are hipster Berliner in 2018 or rather 1970 Kranzler customer! If you are the first type, this is your shop! If you are looking for the "old" West Berlin from 1970 go to Roseneck in the "Wiener Konditorei" , my grandma would still like to be today!

This area of Berlin has been devoid of any good coffee so that the traditional Café Kranzler has been taken over by local coffee roasters the Barn is great. Coffee is made with great attention and care and the quality is in general excellent. Service has been very good at all times I have been here. Of course it takes a bit of time to get the coffee but it is because it is handmade on order. The food selection is fairly limited except for weekends after 1pm when they have some bbq and waffles. The sandwiches and other food they have is however all good quality. The rye bread sandwiches are among the better options. The space is also very nice with a lot of windows and option to either sit inside or outside. It has never been difficult to find a seat here either so a good place to come as a group.

Great coffee! Roasted with a light and floral profile. Just a hint of acid. Very tasteful. The wait was a bit long, but if you like coffee, go here :)

A historical Berlin classic, this café has been renovated and revitalised by famous Berlin-based coffee roasters The Barn. The interior is functional industrial-chic, dominated by wooden stools - nothing special, average comfortable at best. However, the famous terrace is of course worth the while when the sun is shining. Most important is the coffee, though. Options include standard variations as well as cold brews - and nitro coffee, which is a great variation and gives a plus. However, service is really bad. Coffee took ten minutes for a simple espresso, the served waffle was cold and had obviously already been sitting around for a while, and waiting for both coffee and a new waffle, the nitro brew unfortunately lost its smooth texture. Overall, not recommended or if so, only if you rather come for the terrace and the view than for coffee.

This place is really worth it! Very good coffee... just be patient... it takes a while... meanwhile have a seat on the terrace and enjoy this historic Berlin spot! There is always free space... because it's a secret escape... nobody seems to know that this place still exists! People take serious care of making their coffee... and they are very very friendly and helpful! Don't miss to go there to experience the real Berlin!

They ruined a once great cafe. Instead of honest retro charm we now have boilerplate hipster coolness complete with uninspired and annoying music. Service is excruciatingly slow. It took us almost 20 minutes to get two coffees and two slices of cake -- and that was on a slow day with four people behind the counter. The food and coffee are okay.

No comparison to the original Cafe Kranzler. Not sure why they got to keep the name. The coffee is not great and the atmosphere feels like a barn (at least that name is accurate). It takes about 10 minutes to make a cappuccino and the espresso is too acidic. In short, if you are looking for the coffeehouse atmosphere that was Cafe Kranzler, this is not the place you want to go.

So I like pretentious coffee, and I'm willing to pay a premium for it -- but this place breaks all bounds of pretentiousness and I don't want to come back. The ambience IS beautiful, it's got a great view, great location, lovely to sit outside. but COME ON. They will not make you a single espresso? On principle? Are you kidding me? Even the cashier was embarrassed to explain to me that this wouldn't be possible -- she said I could take it up with the barista, but that I didn't have a great chance of success. First time all over the world I've ever had this experience; and I've been to a lot of very self-serious coffee places. (the sheer fact that I'm complaining at all should be proof of that). And yes, you can get really top notch coffee in Berlin for around 2 euros, so no need to charge me 3.50.
