Wow, the coffee here is pretty amazing. I was really surprised by the clear fruity flavor of the house blend and greatly enjoyed my Chai Tea Latte as well. My wife had the Vanilla Latte and liked it enough to have a second. We’re definitely going back in the very near future.

This place is great. Great staff, great service, amazing coffee.
I’m updating this review 2 years later. This place is still amazing—so amazing that I still order their coffee beans to have them shipped to me in Vermont now that I have moved to the Burlington area. I simply haven’t been able to find a coffee place with beans as well done as B&W up here.

The coffee was a fast favorite and amazing quality! Even with how good the coffee is the staff and environment is really what makes it! Everyone is so nice and the best baristas. My coffee was knocked over and they made a new one even though it was my fault. Best service in the triangle!

I would seriously give it more stars if I could. I love Black and White. They have my favorite coffee anywhere. Very high quality coffee beans and not too pricey comparatively. If you want a good recommendation, get an iced coffee with oat milk, it's amazing!!!

I'm extremely impressed with this company! Customer service is rare this day and age but this crew is excellent! It's no wonder that I was referred here by some really big coffee pros!

World champion barista roasts. This place is great. Coffee is like anything else, you get what you pay for. I am glad my wife and I were able to visit. Though priced on the higher side, the beans are direct from the farmers. The atmosphere at the store is awesome as well. If you like coffee shops, this is a must.

Coffee was good. Atmosphere felt a little off- when you walk in it's not clear where you order. It didn't feel inviting. I'd be willing to try it again. May have just been an off day and there was only one person making the orders and ringing up.

The smoothest, most well balanced latte I have ever had... And they have the national and international trophies to prove it.
Mike Shively
The absolute best lattes my wife and I have ever had. Just a perfect velvety texture and phenomenal balance of flavor, and that was with almond milk, which is way harder to accomplish.
We stopped in on our way back home to VA, but we'll make it a point to stop by whenever we're remotely nearby. In the meantime, a few bags of their coffee might have to suffice.

*UPDATE*: the management has taken this recommendation seriously — the baristas have been pleasant and friendly! Great to see such an amazing coffee roaster put in effort towards customer service. As always, they continue to make great espresso and roast exceptional beans.
As a weekly customer of Black & White, it pains me to give the Wake Forest location 2 stars. The coffee is amazing — every single type of bean is amazing and their curated drinks are delicious. However, their customer service is severely lacking. Due to the poor attitudes of the baristas, I go out of my way to drive to the Rolesville Black & White to avoid the Wake Forest location. The employees at Rolesville have a much nicer demeanor.
It’s a shame and I hope this situation improves in the future. An inviting atmosphere would make this location a very special establishment in the heart of Wake Forest.
