Job Description

Enchanted Coffee Bar Inc. is a beloved Orange County coffee establishment expanding into Downtown Los Angeles, renowned for its dedication to delivering high-quality coffee and handcrafted beverages in a warm and welcoming environment. The company places a strong emphasis on creating memorable experiences for every guest through exceptional service and expertly prepared drinks. As a growing coffee bar, Enchanted Coffee Bar Inc. prides itself on fostering a team-oriented workplace culture that values passion, creativity, and community engagement. Their commitment to quality and hospitality has made them an admired name in their community, and their new Downtown Los Angeles location aims to bring these same values to a vibrant and discerning urban audience.

The Barista role at Enchanted Coffee Bar Inc. is central to the cafe’s mission and daily operation. Baristas are more than just drink makers — they are the heart of the cafe experience, crafting specialty coffee beverages that reflect both a mastery of technique and a genuine hospitality. Baristas work with exceptional single-origin coffee and expertly dialed-in espresso to provide guests with consistent, high-quality drinks. This position demands a deep appreciation and understanding of coffee as a craft, where the origin, processing method, and brewing process are all thoughtfully respected and considered. Whether engaging curious guests with knowledge about coffee varietals, maintaining equipment calibration, or creating a calm and welcoming ambiance, the Barista contributes substantially to the Enchanted Coffee Bar atmosphere.

This role is offered as a full-time or part-time position, providing flexibility for a broad range of schedules while maintaining competitive pay starting at $19 to $22 per hour depending on experience. Benefits include health plans for full-time members, paid sick leave from day one in compliance with California law, ongoing coffee education and training, complimentary shift drinks, a 25% discount on store food and beverages, and a structured growth path through the company’s "Enchanted Bar" certification program.

Position holders should bring a genuine love of coffee and a strong desire to engage in continuous learning within the specialty coffee field. While prior cafe experience is preferred, enthusiasm and a passion for coffee culture are highly valued. The role requires availability on weekends and expected holiday shifts, excluding Christmas and New Year’s Day when the cafe is closed. The work environment calls for physical stamina to stand and move frequently, perform repetitive hand motions related to beverage preparation, and occasionally lift items up to 30 pounds. This comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of the cafe—from the beans to the guest experience—is crafted with care and intention.

Enchanted Coffee Bar Inc. emphasizes workplace inclusivity, welcoming applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences who are eager to contribute creatively and collaboratively. The company culture champions doing things right by slowing down to appreciate details, supporting the team, and serving the community with integrity. For individuals inspired by specialty coffee and committed to hospitality excellence, this Barista role offers an enriching career opportunity in one of Downtown Los Angeles’ most promising coffee venues.
