Job Description

Cositas Cafe, a brand new Latin, family-woman-owned cafe on the Upper East Side, is looking for a barista! We would love someone who is passionate about coffee and can bring some positive vibes to our vibrant little cafe. It is owner-operated and looking to build a stellar team. Cositas Cafe had its grand opening on November 26, 2022 and is excited to have exclusively Latin American-sourced coffee and bites to our beloved neighborhood.

Barista Position: We are recruiting a barista who wishes to bring their own passion and enthusiasm for coffee and hospitality to a growing, fun cafe filled with amazing regular customers. You will need to multi-task and not just be solid behind the espresso machine, but you will also be taking orders, preparing simple food items for takeout & delivery, chatting with regulars, restocking and keeping your station organized.

You should also be able to:
– Prove your experience in a similar environment, including performing latte art
– Be very fast, efficient, clean and work very well under continuous pressure
– Enjoy chatting with our lovely customers

A very competitive rate of pay is on offer (a Food Handler’s Certificate gets you bonus points, too), as well as working with a determined, passionate, and enthusiastic team. You are the center of our business, and we will treat you accordingly. You will be empowered to make your own decisions that create the best overall experience for our guests and our cafe.

About us: Our mission is to provide each of our guests a taste of the unique flavors of Latin America during a small moment in their busy NYC schedule. We have created a colorful, modern and sophisticated, and welcoming space, inspired by the beautiful countries in Latin America. We offer one of the highest quality coffee and food programs in the city modeled on the laid-back and unpretentious Latin café experience.

Our coffee program is truly wonderful. We are partnered with Gotham Coffee Roasters, and we are serving exclusively coffee from Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Peru, and Mexico. Our food program includes delicious housemade empanadas and other Latin foods and pastries. We have invested in cutting-edge tools to make sure our guests get the best coffee and bites possible, every time.

Starting salary will begin at $17/hr. If you have a Food Handler’s Certificate, the rate would increase. Plus tips, of course. It would be a plus if you speak Spanish, but definitely not a requirement.

If this sounds like the right fit for you, please apply for an opportunity to join the Cositas familia!
