Black and White Coffee Roasters

Coffee is alright, though not even close to the black and white downtown. If you order food, it’s cold. Got a ham and cheese croissant and it’s rock solid. Same for the chocolate croissant. $30 for 2 croissants and 2 lattes. Would not recommend getting food.

Great coffee spot at RDU! ☕️ Loved the option to order easily on a big self-service screen — super convenient when traveling. The coffee was excellent, smooth and flavorful, and the staff handled everything quickly. Perfect place for a quality cup before a flight!

Unfortunately, I think I left hungrier than when I got there. Avocado toast was the thinnest bread I’ve ever seen. Good flavor, but the smallest smear of avocado. Not what you want when you’re trying to eat a substantial breakfast while traveling. Appreciate that they have non dairy yogurt though!

actually the worst 20 dollars i’ve ever spent. the coffee tastes horrible and as you can see my 15 dollar avocado toast was not even toasted and is so covered in red chili flakes and pepper i couldn’t bare to eat it.

The airport is NOT where I expected to find a great coffee experience! I only discovered Black & White yesterday when I finally got to visit Sayso Coffee in Winston Salem (the Kenyan pour over I got there might have reset my entire perspective on African coffee…) and here I find them in RDU airport. The woman who took my order asked a couple good questions to narrow down the options and the simple, but delicious, oat milk cappuccino made with their “First In Flight” blend was executed very well. Definitely a great way to wrap up my trip!!

Their coffee is great. Need to be consistent with service. Bought a latte at the airport in a larger cup, the girl (who was lovely) I even gave her a tip, made it for me no problem. Went back to the shop about 30 minutes later because the coffee was so good they told me I couldn’t have it in a larger cup. They said they used to do it, but not any more. I told them they just did it 30 minutes ago but they refused to make the larger size. You guys have great coffee and I live in Raleigh and go to your shop in Wake Forest all the time. But this is unacceptable. From great service 30 minutes ago to terrible is not a good thing. Get it together Black and White.

Coffee is good, but was lukewarm. Food is an upscale fast food thing - the bacon is probably precooked, maybe microwaved, not bad. Not cheap, you know, like $6 coffees or whatever. I travel many times a year through RDU - their ordering kiosks are usually clunky or out of service (one was "out of service" yesterday, 4 Dec '25 at 10am), the machine next to it that spits out a receipt was not working (need for expense report) and there doesn't seem to be anybody on top of it. Worse, during the busy morning rush yesterday there was a crew shooting video footage - like a crew of six people (seriously, to shoot some B roll?), asking the counter guy to push and re-push coffee cups, while people were squeezing by them to get coffee and catch a plane. Who decided to shoot video during a morning rush in a coffee shop? And with six people? Or eight? Seems like some serious management attention is needed for what otherwise has potential. Options are getting better at RDU - this is an "option" at best.

I don't expect much from airport food, but this was honestly the worst ever. The toasted bagel was hard as a rock, either remarkably stale or actually freezer-burned, and tasted like chemicals. The half & half, whole milk, and oat milk pitchers to add to your coffee, were all empty. There was only only person on staff, to take orders, make coffees, and prepare the food. They needed at least two more people. They also didn't have any change, which I was told when I attempted to pay in cash. I said that was fine, but I did ask if that was their policy, and wondered why, she explained that they were never given enough change in the morning, and always ran out in an hour or so, and managers just never gave them enough to get through a shift, and never were around to replenish it. There was a woman who showed up for her first day of work to be trained, but the manager was MIA, and never showed upby the time I finally got my order, 18 minutes later. The first day employee said she (the manager) was 40 minutes late. The woman staffing the counter was perfectly courteous, but obviously overworked and unable to handle the situation on her own. Inedible food, zero staff support, and apathetic management. Get it together, Black & White!
