COFFEE GENESIS is now open! A new century of coffee begins in Ginza!


CROWD ROASTER , a coffee platform operated by Solflare (headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Jiro Sekiba), has produced BARNEYS CAFE BY CROWD ROASTER , a new cafe located within the Barneys New York Ginza flagship store.

The new store will open on Friday, September 19th, coinciding with the first remodeling since the opening of Barneys New York's Ginza flagship store.

COFFEE GENESIS ~ Creating a new century of coffee


"COFFEE GENESIS" is a new thesis put forward by CROWD ROASTER . A world where high-quality, delicious coffee is the norm. This is the Coffee Genesis we will realize. Based on this concept, we aim to create a new coffee culture.

CROWD ROASTER is now taking the experience of connecting with top-class roasters that it has built through its app to a new stage: a brick-and-mortar store.

We carefully roast carefully selected specialty coffees from around the world, including the finest Panama Geisha , using the skills of Japan's leading roasters, including many competition champions, and we are moving forward towards creating a world where everyone can enjoy delicious coffee as a matter of course.

A new coffee culture originating from Ginza


BARNEYS CAFE BY CROWD ROASTER will be located in the Barneys New York Ginza flagship store, a hub of fashion and culture. This will not just be a cafe, but a symbolic space that embodies the philosophy of COFFEE GENESIS.

Champion baristas and roasters are regularly on hand to serve customers, allowing them to enjoy the flavors created through their outstanding skills.

A cup of coffee made from the world's rarest coffee beans, roasted and brewed with the finest techniques. It's not something special, but something you can enjoy every day. We will be spreading this new century of coffee from a special place called Ginza.

CROWD ROASTER 's challenge moves to a new stage


CROWD ROASTER app is packed with features for enjoying coffee, including ordering from roasters, purchasing coffee beans and equipment, articles to learn more about specialty coffee, and a coffee shop map.

BARNEYS CAFE BY CROWD ROASTER is a new venture that aims to bring the innovative coffee experience that has previously been offered through apps to a physical store.

CROWD ROASTER will utilize the network of Japan's leading roasters that it has cultivated, and its ability to procure rare coffee beans through its connections with farms in Panama and other countries, to present new values to the coffee industry under the thesis of "COFFEE GENESIS."
