As a small but dedicated team, we focus on creating a welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels valued from the moment they walk through our doors. Our team members are not just employees but essential contributors to a culture built on mutual respect, genuine care, and continuous learning about the art and science of coffee making.
We are currently seeking a passionate and people-centric Barista to join our friendly team on a part-time basis.

The Barista will be the first face our guests see every morning, responsible for preparing and serving a variety of espresso drinks, pour-overs, cold brews, and specialty beverages crafted to exacting standards. This position requires someone who takes pride in their craft, is eager to share their knowledge with customers, and can efficiently manage high-volume rushes with a warm and professional demeanor.
This job offers a competitive hourly pay rate ranging from $15.00 to $18.00, alongside flexible scheduling that includes weekday mornings, weekends, and event shifts. Paid training is provided to ensure every team member is confident in their role and familiar with our standards of quality and service. Our baristas operate state-of-the-art equipment and POS systems, maintain cleanliness and safety standards, and collaborate closely with the team to ensure smooth daily operations.
