On travel for work and wanted a place outside my hotel that i could do some work and this place fit the bill. Staff were very warm and welcoming; easy to have conversations with. I got a hot americano first which was fantastic; i use this as a base measure for how well a shop pulls shots without having to completely sacrifice the drink if its subpar. I then grabbed an espresso which was perfectly balanced and easily drinkable; no need for sugar to offset bitterness; appropriate temperature; served in warmed ceramic shot glass. I also grabbed a baked good which was also great, i wouldve preferred it warmed up, although admittedly, they probably could have if id asked. There is a large amount of outdoor seating but inside seating is limited as well as outlets for work. Luckily it wasnt busy when i arrived and was able to find a spot to get setup. Will absolutely be coming back and recommending this place to others. read more

The perfect coffee roaster might actually exist -- and it might be Black & White Coffee Roasters in downtown Raleigh. I'm a big fan of lighter-roasted, funky, expressive coffees, and Black & White absolutely delivers. Their roasting style leans into vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, and they do it with confidence. The downtown Raleigh location is fantastic too. It's right in the middle of everything, making it a great stop for a date night, meeting up with friends, or just dropping in for a quick but exceptional cup. Their seasonal menu was small but mighty -- just a couple of options -- but the kind where every drink looks so good you wish they'd never rotate them off the menu. I started with the orange cardamom flat white, and it was perfect in every way. Beautifully presented and incredibly balanced. The espresso, milk, orange, and cardamom all complemented each other without any one flavor taking over. It was nuanced, aromatic, and just a joy to drink. For my second drink, I ordered a Rodrigo Sanchez pour-over, a co-fermented Colombian coffee labeled with passion fruit notes. It was everything I want from a pour-over -- bright, juicy, and expressive, with the kind of sweet stone fruit and berry notes that make light-roasted coffee so exciting. Black & White continues to prove why they're one of the most respected specialty roasters around. If you love adventurous coffee with huge flavor and careful execution, this place is an absolute must-visit. read more

Great coffee! And love the dark/milk chocolate bars!! I have coffee beans I can drink at home too. I've never had time to sit in the outdoor garden but am looking forward to doing so now that spring is arriving. read more

I've had their beans at other stores in the past but this was my first time at the store and it lived up to expectations I got a pour over with the candy hearts roast which I'm assuming is seasonal but it was unbelievable. Perfectly balanced cups with some unique flavors read more

One of my go to coffee shops around Raleigh, especially to pick up some beans for my home set up! Consistently good quality and super friendly staff read more

Really cute place, lots of room to work for the day. They had their own beans for sale too. My only reason for the lower star is my coffee and cousins were watered down. Normally I would go back and give the opportunity to correct. We were just in a hurry and I'm not local. The flavor of the coffee was great. I could tell they are either using a high quality syrup or making them in house. I ordered a lavender yuzu latte. The lavender tasted like fresh lavender tea. I feel like if it wasn't watered down it would have been an amazing flavor combo. read more

The best coffee in Raleigh. Amazing coffee. I parked in the paid parking for the building and it was free with a voucher from the coffee shop. The coffee is amazing. I got a bag of coffee that comes with a free 12oz drip brew. The drip brew was amazing. They have a rotating menu for the espresso and drip. I ordered a latte and unlike most places you could actually taste the espresso which was amazing. The milk was perfectly steamed. The seating inside is minimal so don't come with a family of four or more unless you want to sit outside. The outside patio is in the shade for the most part. The service was excellent and quick. Amazing coffee. A must visit if in the area. read more

Some of the best coffee I have had!! Tried the daily drip, and purchased a bag of coffee to bring home. I have been back servers times since and will continue to do so when in the area. read more

One of best roasters! Try their anaerobics -Sebastian Ramirez! Will be back. Chocolate shop is always great

If you want a chocolate themed drink, this is your spot. It is inside the Videri Chocolate Factory, albeit a separate business. They source their chocolate from Videri. They also serve coffee, which I didn't try. You must order the SIPPING CHICOLATE! It is melted chocolate with a little water and additional sugar. It is super rich so you get a small cup to sip like an espresso. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, which is where we sat. I would be a regular at this cafe if I lived in the area. I will make a stop here every time I visit Raleigh. read more

If you love the scent of chocolate, stopping by is a must try. This cafe is nestled in where you can the chocolate being made. Since it was a warm day, I thought I'd try the frozen hot chocolate. Don't know if it compares to NYC's version but it was perfect. Located across the street from The Pit BBQ. Parking is next door. read more

Black and White Coffee - Chilling with Frozen hot chocolate - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Here's what I'll say, everything about this shop was cute and cozy and well done The coffee is 10/10, truly Frozen hot chocolate 10/10 Decor and vibes 10/10 Outdoor seating 10/10 Busy on Saturday AM ofc. We have been wanting to get coffee from here bc only 1 coffee shop in our home town sometimes stocks B&W. What I will say, is friendliness and customer service goes a LONG way. Greeting customers, communicating about drinks being done, etc is necessary. I always think a mid tier coffee shop that has excellent customer service will win over an amazing coffee shop with poor customer service. It's about the experience! Customers aren't a bother and not the enemy read more

Great coffee spot. Stopped by to get a quick espresso before heading out for activities. Grabbed a bag of coffee beans since they have very unique flavors. Customer service was excellent especially helping to choose which coffee beans I should get. There is also a chocolate place right next to the coffee shop, but it was closed when we were there. read more

One of the best coffees I have had in Raleigh!! I always get it to go but it's cute inside! The staff were great too!

I got an iced latte and an iced coffee here and both were delicious. You can taste the flavors in their beans. You also can get a single origin espresso shot if you prefer even lighter roasts. I love that they have a scale of light to dark roast and clean to funky flavored on each bag of beans to help you get what you really like read more

Black and White Coffee - Iced latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

This is a review for the B&W coffee in the RDU airport - I got an iced latte and it was delicious. The young ladies working the counter were pleasant and friendly. Loved it a-latte. read more

Their staff in the store are fantastic, and the beans are great. I don't always like the coffee that comes out of the Poursteady machine though, although I've only had it a couple times. I *hate* that there's no way to get someone on the phone. I almost gave them one star for that alone. It's a pain to have to drive to the store to see what beans they have in stock, since it's not reflective of the website. read more

Great spot to grab a mocha latte--which makes perfect sense, since it's located inside a chocolate factory. The coffee is smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of chocolate. The setting has a cozy, slightly industrial vibe with the added bonus of that incredible cocoa aroma in the air. Definitely worth a visit if you're a coffee lover with a sweet tooth. read more

The chocolate factory smells like you'd expect, but the cafe is open at some times even when the factory is not. I stopped in for a hot chocolate, and it was a full-flavored creation at a reasonable price. Indoor and outdoor seating greeted me, and had I wanted a baked good the ones they had looked nice. read more

It's a nice spot - I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. I enjoyed a book here for a couple of hours while my wife did some work on her laptop. There is a good amount of seating both indoors and out, smells like you're inside a chocolate factory since it shares space with one - although I was really only there for the coffee. The drip coffee was fine, the beans I bought (a very lightly roasted Ethiopian) were excellent. They do pour-overs, but that wouldn't have come free with the beans I bought. read more

Is it crazy to proclaim this as the best cup of coffee I have ever had? Truth! Simple is best and these guys create a simple, magical cup of java. read more

Had to try this place because my friend was visiting from out of state. She got an iced mocha and I tried the honey lattes. We included some chocolates to take home and try later. Easy to find location, parking wasn't hard, and coffee was excellent. Will definitely find my way here again for coffee. Great service! I visited again with my brother and we had the iced mocha. Best iced mocha I've ever had. My brother in law had frozen. hot cocoa and said it was delicious as well. read more

Loved the vibe and specialty coffees!! The baristas were knowledgeable and gave several recommendations! Will be back:)!

Great coffee shop with a real neighborhood feel. We loved sitting outside on the patio. The baristas were great and the coffees were delicious. We ordered a brown sugar latte which was simply amazing. Like drinking silk. We also ordered a cold brew which didn't need anything else to make it delicious. The black tea was also good and the fun vibes made everythjng better. read more

We walked over from the Hampton Inn for a nice cup of coffee, it was just ok me, I didn't finish my cup, and would try another spot if in the area again. read more

Black and White has an outsized reputation in the coffee community, and I was excited they happened to have a location in Raleigh (one of the few in total). On top of that, in a chocolate factory! I love Videri too by the way, and especially this location: they give free chocolate samples and are super nice, plus have a wonderful selection of chocolate bars, gifts, and pastries. The coffee here was great, and I picked up a bag from the awesome selection on shelves (some of them will be sold out online). The baristas were super friendly and patient, and even gave me some tips on the Aeropress technique and the particular coffee I bought. I think my only wish is that they featured more of their unique coffees and rotated frequently for espressos. They were also out of pour-overs when I visited. But overall, just pumped I could visit a B&W run cafe near where I was staying! read more

My son and I LOVE Black & White Coffee! We love the vibe, especially when we can sit outside on the patio/veranda and take time to enjoy their coffee and lattes! I met an old friend there the other day and had a caramel latte that was not only beautiful, but SO TASTY I had two!! My son buys whole bean bags and we have had a huge variety of the flavors! So many to choose from! Service there is great and the people so kind, the lattes so tasty and beautiful, I almost hate to drink them! I do wish there were more tables but also glad we can go outside! We DO LOVE Black and White on Davie, some time now..gotta try it!! Joanna read more

We attended an event hosted by an apartment complex at Black & White Coffee and it is so cute in there. They have outdoor seating as well as indoor. The lighting inside is kind of mellow, so not sure it's the best place to work due to the lighting and limited outlets. They have a great selection of drinks and pastries but they do not offer savory breakfast options. I ordered a honey oat milk latte and it was delicious. There is plenty of paid parking around the area and I am pretty sure they validate it for you, but I am not positive on this. Overall, a pretty chill spot & its right inside Videri Chocolate Shop so there are some shopping options and chocolate to try and buy! read more
