Notes for Cardholders
"Here at the Black and White Coffee Cartel, we are determined to make all of our customers feel welcome and have a positive experience at any location.

Standing and Queuing
Who likes queuing, but for those who find this an actual problem then we are happy to come to you to take your order. Just make sure we know that you are there!
Level Access
There is excellent access via three doors all with flat access. There is plenty of room in the cafe so getting around will not be a problem.
Distances
There are two options for parking. There is an open air carpark within 30m of the cafe, and there is the Lichfield Street multi story car park with an elevator that comes out just 20m from the cafe.
Urgent Toilet Access
There is no toilet within the cafe, the nearest one is a 30m walk down a wide corridor, and then a couple of steps, or a long ramp which adds a further 20m.
Disability Assist Dogs
Registered assistance dogs are welcome in the cafe. The City Promenade walk along the Avon River is less than 100m away which can be a good place for the dog to stretch its legs and relieve itself. We will provide a bowl for your dog so it has a ?drink too.
Essential Companions
We appreciate that not everyone in your group is wanting to purchase a drink, or something to eat. We are good with that, we think they will crack when they see the cabinet and smell those wonderful aromas, but if they have the will power then that’s all good with us.
Difficulty Accessing Visual Information
Our drinks and food menus are written, and so is the description of the items in the cabinet. However, your server is more than happy to assist in explaining what we can offer, and they know you may need just a bit of extra time to decide what you want. Remember, if it is easier we can come to you at the table.
Difficulty Accessing Audible Information
We are not in the position to offer sign language, but your server will be happy to spend the time needed with you so that you get what you want. Remember, if it is easier we can come to you at the table. You do play music in the cafe at a low volume, but if that causes you a problem we are happy to turn it off for the duration of your visit with us.
Hidden Disabilities
When we see this icon on your card we will ask how we can support you in having a great experience in our cafe.
