BEN RAHIM Berlin

Specialty coffee with an Arabian twist on Sophienstraße: coffee from the cezve, no sugar, since 2015.

Wissem Ben Rahim comes from Tunisia. In 2008 he moved with his wife to Germany and from there to Australia, where he discovered coffee in Brisbane. Back in Berlin he worked as a senior barista at The Barn, and in March 2015 he opened his own café in a courtyard off Sophienstraße, right by the Hackesche Höfe.

BEN RAHIM sees itself as the first third-wave coffee shop with an Arabian twist. Alongside espresso and filter, coffee is brewed in a cezve, the small pot. On principle there is no sugar, and filter coffee is served without milk. BEN RAHIM now also has cafés in Tunis and Doha.
