Job Description

About you

You take coffee seriously – you are proud to pull delicious espresso shots every day, sometimes you watch latte art competition videos on insta for fun and you are keen to work with an amazing coffee program and an awesome team.

– You have had at least two years’ experience in specialty coffee and you are comfortable with all things specialty coffee – working a manual coffee machine (we’re using a La Marzocco Linea PB AV), dialing in espresso, milk steaming and working in a high volume environment.
– You are also experienced prepping other drinks e.g. ice tea, hot chocolate. You are professional, friendly and excited to get to know and serve the neighbourhood.
– You are available for day shifts and on weekends- currently we have only one shift each day – starting between 8am-9am til 4.30pm (only one shift a day (2 baristas per shift) to minimize interaction between team members due to covid-19). This is currently a part time position (3 shifts a week) but if you are the right fit we would love to add shifts (up to 5 shifts / week).
