The Barn Café Rosenthaler Platz

The coffee was indeed excellent. I had a flat white with oat milk. It was strong yet smooth in flavor, and it looked great. The service was quick. However, the atmosphere seemed more suited for laptop users, and the location is quite busy. It's easily accessible right by the Rosenthaler Platz metro station. I’d like to try other locations.

The Barn is an institution in Berlin. I only had a Flat White, thus, cannot speak to the Food Options they are serving. The coffee was good. I also like to highlight the nice service and friendly staff.

Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): + good espresso: rather on the acidic side with a nice fresh citric flavor, so I need to add sugar to balance the taste; likely goes well with cappuccino where the milk balances the acidity + free tap water Service: + friendly service = asked the waiter to clean my table, but to be honest I also jumped into the seat as soon as another guest left Price: - higher priced espresso at €2.9 for Berlin Atmosphere: + modern nice coffee shop interior with matching relaxed music + clean + good chain alternative to the big US competitor - weak WiFi My rating system - I focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible

To avoid. Just extremely overpriced average coffee, and hot chocolate tasting like Colacao. No bathroom. Great service.
