Barista

Cafe Lift opened 23 years ago. It was husband and wife, Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello’s vision to create a restaurant that would not only be progressive in its location, but in the food that they would be serving. As a cafe they strived to push the boundaries of what a bruncherie could be, and placed a strong emphasis on supporting the region's farmers and purveyors. 19 years on, that same drive and passion has not changed!

As part of the 13th Street Kitchens restaurant group ( Piccolina, La Chinesca, Prohibition Taproom ), Cafe Lift has acted as a cornerstone and compass to our groups' ambitions. Open 8am-3pm daily, Cafe Lift serves Brunch to scores of loyal guests. We are currently seeking a genuine and hospitable  Barista to round out our team.
