We have both Barista positions and hybrid Barista with Weekend Baking Duties positions available.

If you feel most comfortable working only Barista shifts, this is available as well.

About the Roles

Barista position:

4 or 5 days a week including Saturday and Sunday, you'll serve as a Barista and be Front of House the whole shift from 6:00 AM‑1:00 PM, 8:00 AM‑4:00 PM, or 1:00 PM‑7:00 PM.

Hybrid Barista with Weekend Baking Duties position:

This is not a typical barista job — it’s a hybrid position that combines early morning hands‑on baking with a vital front‑of‑house customer service role.

On weekends , you’ll begin your shift early as a Baker from 4:30 AM‑7:00 AM, preparing our signature breads and baked goods, then transition to the front of the store when we open for the day, serving as a Barista and customer service expert from 7:00 AM‑1:00 PM.

During the week , you'll serve as a Barista and be Front of House the whole shift from 6:00 AM‑1:00 PM, 8:00 AM‑4:00 PM, or 1:00 PM‑7:00 PM.

We're looking for team members who thrive on interaction — those who love starting conversations, helping customers find their favorite pastry, and keeping the front looking sharp and running smoothly. If you enjoy connecting with people just as much as crafting quality food or drinks, this is the role for you.

What We’re Looking For

A people person who enjoys conversation and hospitality

A team player who’s equally comfortable baking in the early hours and engaging with guests once doors open

Experience as a barista or in a customer‑facing food service role

Comfortable waking up early — the shift begins at 4:30 AM

Strong attention to detail and ability to multitask in a fast‑paced setting

Familiarity with baking or food prep is a plus
