With a progressive, open, and ever-evolving approach, Stumptown remains steadfast in its commitment to unparalleled quality. The company thrives on hard work, collaboration, and an enjoyable work atmosphere where passion for excellence and generosity are paramount. Stumptown nurtures long-term relationships as it guides coffee from the hardworking partners at the source to the customers, ensuring every cup carries the essence of high-quality craftsmanship and dedication. Being part of Stumptown means joining a community that values coffee, people, and productivity in a vibrant and supportive environment.

The role of a Barista at Stumptown is crucial in upholding the company’s commitment to coffee excellence. Baristas are entrusted with ensuring the quality of coffee is maintained from bean to cup, reflecting the intentions of the partners at the source. This role involves more than just preparing drinks—it is about crafting exceptional customer experiences, sharing knowledge about coffee, and embodying Stumptown’s values of continuous growth, hospitality, and quality. Baristas play a significant role in the success of their café by consistently delivering quality beverages and products while creating a welcoming and engaging atmosphere for customers. The position requires a passion for coffee, a dedication to learning and growth in the craft, and a proactive approach to customer service. It is a frontline role where every interaction matters and where the love of coffee meets the art of hospitality.

This position offers a target base compensation ranging from $16.80 to $17.30 per hour, with seasonal benefits including paid holidays, sick leave, and an employee discount.

Stumptown fosters an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible work environment, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds and ensuring accommodations during the application process if needed. This role does not include supervisory responsibilities and is performed in a vibrant café environment, interacting extensively with the public and working in a sometimes noisy setting. It requires physical stamina, with the need to stand for shifts, perform repetitive motions, and occasionally lift up to 50 pounds. For those who love coffee and customer interaction, strive for excellence, and seek a dynamic work environment, Stumptown offers an unmatched opportunity to grow and shine as part of a passionate team dedicated to coffee craftsmanship and service excellence.
