The origin of our coffee beans

from coffeeman..

Who is Barbarossa?

Barbarossa Coffee is literally a specialty coffee shop where you can taste 20 different types of single origin coffee brewed by 6 different methods
(Chemex, Syphon, Aeropres, V60, Turkish and of course Espresso). This is no different than a wine tasting facility in Toscana, Italy; because each coffee
bean has its own taste characteristics stemming from the geographical properties of where it was grown. While you may get an intense chocolate aroma from one type of
coffee bean, you may taste an intense floral notes from another. You can only experience the difference by tasting several different coffee beans
in a short time. We at Barbarossa Coffee offer this experience to our customers. Barbarossa Coffee not only serves its customers great tasting coffee,
but also gives them the opportunity to find their own favorite tastes and to get to know about what type of coffee beans they enjoy having.

Coffee comes to our tables after going along a certain value chain from the harvest to consumption. Parties that play a role in this value chain are the farmers, green coffee buyers,
roasters, baristas and of course the consumers. Within this value chain, Barbarossa Coffee positions itself as green coffee buyer, roaster and barista.

Each type of coffee bean has a cupping note and Barbarossa Coffee always serves to its customers the best coffee beans with 85+ cupping notes. We roast coffee beans
in small batches and schedule the roasting process in a way to totally consume the roasted beans in maximum 1 week time while they are still fresh. This guarantees that our customers always have the freshest and the highest quality coffee at Barbarossa.

Beyond all of the above, there is one thing that totally distinguishes Barbarossa from the crowd and that is everyone who works at Barbarossa is also a
loyal customer of Barbarossa. Indeed, all of our employees have been the customers of Barbarossa prior to their employment. Our crew is passionate about
coffee and they do what they do not only to earn money but also with the pleasure of working for something they are passionate about.
This makes an art out of coffee. As Da Vinci said: ” Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.” Therefore, we say: “We brew with love’’

Today we’d like to introduce you to Oguzhan (Ozzy) Guragac.

Oguzhan, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Coffee has always been a passion for me. Thanks to my duty in the Navy, I had the privilege to travel to many different destinations and to visit over 1,000 coffee shops – which was one of my favorite activities when abroad.

Following my active duty in the Navy, I was assigned as the supply chain manager of the catering services of the Navy and that position opened new horizons to me giving me the courage to become an entrepreneur and bring my lifelong passion of running a coffee business into action.

Immediately greeted at the door. Cashier was MORE then helpful walking me through the tasty food options. The macaroon I ate made me melt. So yummy. Also, she recommended a snickers latte and it was the bomb. The decor is awesome and it’s super peaceful. Also, I got a punch card and will be filling that puppy up on my future visits.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit, relax, read, get coffee/tea, whatever. Cozy place with a variety of great teas, coffees and brewing methods for however you like yours served. Food menu is unique and delicious. Staff was both friendly and helpful. And with free WiFi and plenty of outlets, I Just found my new office away from the office

I drive 18 min from my house to drink their amazing coffee. Staff is nice and very accommodating. I recommend the Milk and Honey latte and breakfast bowl is delicious.

Great staff and probably in my top 5 coffee shops in the Houston and Woodlands area to visit. Had the Cortada and it had a awesome taste with subtle notes of chocolate. The baristas were great and the blueberry muffin I had was perfect.

Great coffee, snacks, and staff. Plenty of space to plug in your devices. I often go there to enjoy delicious bakery and do my work. It can get busy and noisy, but the AC is cold, and the seats and tables are comfortable. The staff are helpful and friendly. I like supporting local independent coffee shops; they are an endangered species.

Truly outstanding coffee and breakfast foods. Very helpful people at the counter. This functions similarly to a restaurant but for coffee and breakfast, which is a nice change of pace from Starbucks/Dunkin - also it's real coffee for once!

Best coffee in Houston. No doubt about it. I'm usually critical of restaurants in this area of town (where I live) because everything is either a chain or if they are independently owned, they cut so many corners that it's not worth going to. The coffee is on the higher end of the price range -- yes -- but the quality of the flavor and its preparation is unmatched -- so if a $4-5 coffee is out of your budget, it might not be your every day coffee spot but for treat this is certainly a place to consider. I really wish other establishments in this area would follow the similar model -- I'm willing to pay more for high quality food and drink -- I mean, if I can prepare it better and more conveniently in the comfort of my own home, why even go out.

Fresh coffee with a very wide variety of pour styles and flavors. Went with their seasonal latte and was quite happy with the flavor and the coffee beans stood out against the milk.

Dan Robertson

21:54 07 Nov 19

The latte was very good. However playing Christmas music early Nov., the WiFi dropping, and the good acoustics (sarcasm) so you can hear the personal conversation from across the cafe was not inviting. Will not come back. Too bad since the coffee and staff are very good and helpful.

The space is unique! But not only this! Great coffee, some pastries e barista items for sale. Definitely this place worth a visit.

I love to support local businesses and its a great treat when they are better than the national chains. Barbarossa is one of these places. Their coffee is great and food is even better. Highly recommended

Coffee was amazing, food was fantastic, a bit pricey but a really great lunch/study place. Minimalist industrial vibe, small and even when it was busy it didn’t feel crowded or loud. Milk and honey latte is a must!

Great vibe, delicious flavors, always friendly, they offer a variety of selections of teas and coffees. The staff are very knowledgeable and have a sincere attitude about providing exceptional customer service.

Amazing coffee, great people and very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to do some work or just get together with a friend for some good coffee. Aya is also their best barista, always happy and always knowledgeable on the wide variety of coffee options, plus her latte art is pretty darn good!

We love Barbarossa Coffee! Very nice cafe style coffee house. Standard coffees and teas but also unique Turkish beverages, presentations and deserts. Try the wild pistachio drink for a change of pace. Delicious!

Comfortable and chill ambience, good coffee, great food options and friendly service. The lox is tasty and the blueberry scone wasn't too sweet (thank you)!

I was impressed. Had no idea they were here. Nice place. More than a coffee shop. Great menu.

Mary Navarrete

00:12 25 Aug 19

Great local coffee shop. I wasn't sure what to order so the gentleman working suggested a honey milk iced latte. Absolutely delicious without being overly sweet like most coffee drinks from the big chain. They also have delicious baked goods and the menu looks awesome. I'll definitely be back for lunch sometime.

Great pastries and coffee! This is my go to place for an americano & blueberry danish. Great social atmosphere, yet also perfect for a study session

Need an Iced Almond Milk Latte, in-house baked pastries or some great Avocado Toast (I suggest requesting a fried egg on top), Barbarossa is my go to coffee shop. Always nice when you're greeted by your name, happens every time I walk into the shop. They don't mind if you stay awhile and enjoy their comfy couch and a book. One of my favorite spots to hang out and relax

If I could give this place negative stars I would. The lady that took my order “forgot” all about my order. People came in after me and got their orders just fine. I waited a good 20 mins, patiently for my order. Went up to the counter and politely asked how much longer my order was going to take. I’m disappointed because it was my first time here and I’m always happy to try a new coffee joint.

Tyler Allison

Absolutely incredible. Everything. Coffee, food, atmosphere, baristas, you name it. I can't stress enough how satisfied I was. I'd recommend Kona for coffee and the avocado toast. 13/10 will return.

This is amazing! I ordered a cappuccino with a little bit of hazelnut and it is so creamy and decadent. This is my new go to coffee house.

Ignacio Ortiz

Tried it for this 1st time. Wow, this place was great. The staff was very friendly and assisted me with selecting a perfect coffee.

Dick Gonzalez

Not bad for a quick hang out with some buddies or a loner study session. Nice atmosphere. Not exactly your go-to breakfast place.

Denise McKinney

23:10 25 Jun 19

I really dig the vibe of this place. The staff are extremely sweet and the selection of food and drink are tasty. There's a very "Cheers" kind of vibe to this place that I dig.

Unique local coffee shop with several different "brew styles". I highly recommend trying it out! They also have some unique food items like cheese balls!

Comfortable environment and friendly service. They have healthy salad and quick meal options. Good place to get some reading or work done as well. Tea, coffee, and smoothies available. Toilet present in the back.

Caleb Welch

Excellent service and high quality product. I highly recommend the Turkish coffee myself. Some may think the prices to high. But for those who want that little extra in their coffee and food. This is the place to go.

Jeff Kalkhoff

Both times I've been here I got a good cup of coffee. Looks like the snacks and lunch items have grown since last time.

Barbarossa Coffee is much more than just coffee. Breakfast, lunch,light snacks and desserts are on the menu. All are of excellent food quality. My wife and I have had the cheesecake and rice pudding recently. The pudding is traditional Turkish style. Very good. The coffees are all great. I have not yet had a milkshake or smoothie but do intend to. Usually quiet but can get loud inside as it is a small space.

Everyone there is so nice. The food is great. The coffee is even better!! It’s a beautiful place to sit and study at times.

This was a nice find while we were out and about. Very good coffee and pastries. Friendly baristas and the place was comfortable.

Monica Kocel

Very cute, small coffee shop. We had the breakfast tacos and waffle which were both quite delicious. The coffee is well brewed and everything has a nice modern take on it. We really enjoyed our outing. Staff was super friendly and helpful as it was our first time. I also loved that they have Turkish coffee and chemex options. I'll be sure to try those on our next visit.

Robert Kelley

A third wave coffee shop with amazing staff members and high quality sourced coffee with various brew methods to choose from. The food is as good as the coffee. It is definitely worth visiting over chain stores or other local shops.

Stephen Hagen

Great place to read a book or have a one-on-one. The staff is knowledgeable of the products they serve and eager to make your visit a pleasant one. I will be back.

The atmosphere and customer service is wonderful every single time I visit. The owner is always coming up with new ideas which makes me want to visit even more. Fantastic place. I'll be back!

This place is rad. It has a good atmosphere, kinda small, but quite cozy. The staff is kind and helpful when deciding what to drink or with any sort of recommendations. They offer a variety of specialty coffee drinks as well as tea. They do have a pastry case however I didn’t order anything from it. The coffee was quite smooth, a medium I believe, in which I had in a chemex (they also offer it in a siphon pot for $7, which is pretty standard, but totally worth it) which was amazing. Check this place out, it’s local, it’s cool, and the coffee drinks will make you drool. (Not sorry for rhyming)

My husband and I walk to this place every Saturday. Coffee is phenomenal, tea is phenomenal. Their lattes are great too. The owners run Barbarossa with much integrity; they are great people. So we will continue to give them our business. 🙂
