· Assist with daily opening/closing duties and café upkeep

· Collaborate with teammates to ensure smooth service flow and memorable customer moments

What We’re Looking For

· Prior specialty coffee experience preferred but not required

· Strong interpersonal and communication skills

· A passion for hospitality and coffee education

· A proactive attitude, attention to detail, and a team-first mentality

· Availability to work early mornings, weekends, or holidays as needed

Why Join Us?

· Exposure to a rotating lineup of some of the world’s best roasters

· Supportive and inclusive team culture

· Opportunities for growth in service, coffee knowledge, and leadership

· Staff discounts, ongoing training, and access to cuppings and coffee events
