Specialty Coffee · Tirana, Albania

our story

Built from friendship.

Two best friends. Too many cups of coffee. A lot of “what ifs” – and then, finally, one very real room.

Two best friends spent years sharing the same quiet dream: a place that felt genuinely good to be in. Not just beautiful – but warm. The kind of place you sit down in and suddenly don’t want to leave. So before they opened the doors to anyone else, they sat in every chair, tried all the tables, moved things around more times than they can count. If it didn’t feel right to them, it wasn’t ready.

The Back Room is what happened when that dream stopped being a what-if. It’s built from friendship, curiosity, and a deep love for specialty coffee – brewed with beans from The Barn Berlin, and held together by the same warmth they’ve always brought to every room they’ve been in.

The coffee beans they use are roasted in Berlin. We had a cortado and flat white - both had very fragrant aroma and tasted great. The banana bread was also yummy with lots of nuts. They do accept card payment, which is especially handy for tourists like us.
