Do you love coffee, enjoy working with people, and thrive in a fast-paced environment?

Las Chicas Bakery & Café is looking for friendly, energetic, and dependable people to join our team.

We're a family-owned bakery and café that's been part of the Northern New Jersey community since 2004. Our cafés bring together specialty coffee, breakfast and brunch, empanadas, sandwiches, pastries, desserts, and plenty of regular customers who know us by name.

We're looking for people who can help us make every visit feel welcoming, efficient, and memorable.

No two shifts are exactly the same. You'll be part of the team that keeps the café moving.

You'll:

• Welcome customers and help them with their orders
• Take orders and operate the POS/register
• Prepare espresso drinks, lattes, coffees, teas, and iced beverages
• Package pastries, desserts, empanadas, sandwiches, and takeout orders
• Coordinate with the kitchen to make sure orders are accurate and moving quickly
• Handle dine-in, pickup, takeout, and delivery orders
• Keep the coffee and counter areas stocked, clean, and organized
• Jump in and help your teammates when things get busy

And yes — it gets busy!

We're looking for people who can move quickly while still making customers feel welcomed and taken care of.

• Genuinely enjoy working with people
• Are friendly, positive, and approachable
• Move with a sense of urgency
• Can multitask without losing attention to detail
• Are dependable and show up on time
• Stay calm and organized during a rush
• Notice what needs to be done and take initiative
• Care about cleanliness and presentation
• Enjoy being part of a team
• Are willing to learn and take feedback

Spanish is required. You should be comfortable communicating with Spanish-speaking customers and coworkers.

Previous barista, café, bakery, restaurant, cashier, or customer-service experience is a plus, but we're happy to train the right person.

Starting base pay: $16.00/hour

PLUS TIPS

Tips can add approximately $6–$10+ per hour , depending on the shift, customer volume, weather, season, and other factors.

That means total hourly earnings can reach approximately $22–$26+ per hour during stronger tip periods.

Tips vary and are not guaranteed.

Strong team members may also have opportunities for increased responsibility, advancement, and higher pay.

We're hiring for full-time and part-time positions .

Flexible availability is preferred, and weekend and holiday availability is important since those are some of our busiest days.

We're not just looking for someone to stand behind a register.

We're looking for people who want to become part of a café team, learn new skills, get to know our customers, and take pride in creating a place people enjoy coming back to.

Las Chicas Bakery & Café has been family-owned and operated since 2004 , and today we have three locations in Northern New Jersey.

We care about great coffee and great food — but we believe how you make people feel matters just as much.

We'd love to meet you.
