Just yummy! I had the salted cinnamon scroll, beautiful. Not overly sweet. My husband had a Lemon Blackberry scone, a generous serving, thick, soft and tasty. The coffee was hot and perfect. Service was swift, with polite and happy staff. We were greeted as we walked in and they were very busy. Disabled access, and parking behind Tennyson street.
And they roast their own coffee beans, very cool!

A mixed bag of good and bad here. This is not our first time at this store but the first time that we sat in. The selection of food was good and we were looking forward to our lunch when it arrived. But what we ordered was sent to the table a bit at a time. First my coffee arrived within a few minutes, but then our food arrived almost 5 minutes later with my bacon and egg pie scorching hot, but the panini barely lukewarm. And we had almost finished our food when the last drink arrived at the table, a cold chocolate drink that looked amazing.
When we enquired about our last drink after waiting 15 minutes and almost finishing our food, we were told that it was still being prepared and would be with us soon, but there was no apology for the time taken to make it and although it was Sunday lunchtime, it wasn't that busy with people and there were plenty of empty tables.
Would think twice about going back now when theres a Robert Harris just around the corner.

Black & White Rolleston is always my 'go-to' coffee destination as a busy on the go midwife. The staff are always super friendly and welcoming, even when it's absolutely mad busy. They're always calm and smiling. I've always had excellent coffees. The food cabinet always looks wonderful and fresh. And ordering off the food menu and having to make changes is never a hassle if you have dietary requirements. Here is my prawn and avocado salad. Delicious 😋

We stopped by this cafe for breakfast on our drive from Christchurch to Queenstown, and this couldn’t have been a better decision. The breakfast I had here could possibly be one of the best I’ve had to date!
We ordered the Brioche French Toast ($19.50) with seasonal fruit, bacon, vanilla mascarpone cream and maple syrup, the Breakfast Sandwich ($9.50), a cappuccino and a long black. They roast their own coffee here so you certainly can’t go wrong with any coffee order.
But the food is also amazing. My French Toast was so fluffy, the bacon thick and yet so crispy, the fruits fresh and they were really generous with the maple syrup.
Service was also really friendly - which is a real welcome when it’s cold, early in the morning and you haven’t had your own caffeine yet.

What a place. Great food and awesome coffee. Be quick for the blueberry muffins. Go to when in Rolleston. Will have to try the local Waiata shores branch but have a feeling this one is hard to beat!

This place does some great food and coffee. After a long night, this was a great place for a relaxing and tasty breakfast. Seems very modern but also very busy.

If you are looking for great coffee and the BEST food cabinet in Rolleston (or Canterbury) get Black and White Rolleston a go. The food cabinet is amazing and prices are reasonable. Staff are just lovely and I’ve witnessed them help take drinks to cars etc.

Visited this place for a networking meeting. Had a good coffee and in store baked scone. The staff were friendly and efficient. Parking was easy but it was early in the day. Overall impression was I would come back again.
AMAZING food and coffee! The cabinet food is insanely yummy and I could not rave more about the white choc & raspberry muffin - the BEST muffin I think I’ve ever had! Make sure you stop here when in Rolleston 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
