Black Coffee Northwest also serves as a community hub,[4] and provides barista training and internships.[5] Eater Seattle has said the business created a space "for art, mutual aid, and activism",[6] and Seattle Metropolitan has said Black Coffee Northwest "blends brews with cultural salon talk".[7]
The menu has included the "Karen", a caffè mocha with white chocolate named after the pejorative term and meme of the same name.[8][9] Before opening their roastery, Black Coffee NW used beans from Boon Boona Coffee, another Black-owned coffee company based in Washington.[10]
The company participated in a "Black Black Friday" campaign organized by Seattle Black-owned businesses in 2023.[11]
