Baristas here know how to highlight the origin, process, roast, and brew method--as well as perfecetly textured milk. A little bit busy and tight when I first walked in, there's plenty of space outside (as long as it's not too cold) and the packed nature lends itself to the busy/cozy vibes that we all long for when looking for a local cup of coffee. For a nationally recognized roastery and distributer, I was both impressed and happy that Black and White's storefront was able to back it up.

I recently found a hair baked in in my blueberry banana bread and the cashier was quick to rectify this w the option of refund/replacement. Their bakery desserts are beautiful but they aesthetics are as far as my compliments go for them. I tried the strawberry raspberry cheesecake and majority of it was gelatin and chocolate. Didnt taste any cheesecake. Maybe their other items are better! The GOAT is yummy but felt very skimpy on the toppings. I wouldnt say their food is their strong suit here.

The owner Mike and all employees are kind and friendly. I get the mocha (with peppermint, when the syrup is available) and it's divine. I love their commitment to organic, eco-friendly coffee and products--most if not all of their coffee is Fair Trade and shade-grown in addition to being organic, and I'm pretty sure their cups are compostable. They've also got a program where you can pay for a cup of coffee, and a token gets added to a jar next to the register. Anyone who finds themselves needed a warm cup of coffee but lacking the means to pay can come in and use a token from the jar. Such a great program that shows how much they value and support our community.

I come here pretty much 5 days a week. Dirty Matcha (3 espresso), almond milk, iced…read more Today I sent my crew member to order exactly this and they gave her a regular matcha with 3 espresso on the side. I went back to ask for it to be remade, since this is not what I wanted and I haven't touched any of the product, which usually would be no problem, especially since the young man at the counter was very new. The first answer I got was "we don't do that here", which is not true, then the somewhat curtly brown haired white girl said "well I can just pour it in there for you! It will be the same thing!" Laughing and rolling her eyes. Which I prompted that I really would rather have it remade, since it will affect the flavor and it was not what I had ordered. She continued to try to go back and forth with me about remaking my drink trying to make it seem like it's a problem and telling me "the way you came in was a lot" even though I asked multiple times, very nicely and tried to make clear, that my problem right now is about the attitude my complaint was handled with because I understand that mistakes can happen. I also understand that it shouldn't be a problem to make it right at the end without making fun and rolling eyes. My remade drink was still wrong and it was obvious that it was purposely this time, since I told her my order again, she repeated it and still proceeded to use a LG cup instead of a regular, but continued using regular cup measurements+ 1 espresso shot (which is also not what would come in there regularly). Even after I mentioned, again, that it was supposed to be 3 espresso shots( she charged me for another 2 shots,which is fine, I'm not here to get anything for free, I really just wanted my one drink made right) she handed me a regular matcha, 3 espresso in a large cup, filled up with milk to the top. Again, this is not what I ordered. But I had to go to my own job so I had no time to go through this again. Side note: a large drink would usually come with 4 shots. I don't even work at this place and am aware of this. However, some of these "baristas" need some serious training when it comes to customer service. Sad, because I actually really like this place and the girl and guy that usually are there in the morning are awesome.

It was, without question, the best sandwich I've ever had, and I don't think I've had a better one in my life. The decaf latte extraction was incredible too. While the beans were not my favorite (it would be wonderful to consider some counter culture :)) - the extraction and ratio was great. At last, everyone was so friendly.
