Job Description

CADET Coffee is hiring a part-time Barista (25-35 hrs/week). This is a hands-on role for someone who loves being behind the bar, but is also excited to help keep the shop running smoothly day to day.

We are a specialty multi-roaster cafe serving SEY, Tim Wendelboe, Tanat, Hydrangea, and rotating guests. We’re tucked inside a neighborhood bar, so the environment is dynamic, a little scrappy, and not at all corporate. If that excites you more than it scares you, you’ll probably fit right in.

You’ll need to open at least one weekend shift and also be comfortable working solo on weekday shifts.

What You’ll Do:
• Work 3–4 barista shifts per week, often solo
• Make consistently excellent espresso, pour-overs, and milk drinks
• Deliver warm, thoughtful service
• Keep the bar clean, organized, and running smoothly

Requirements:
• Specialty coffee experience (dialing in, manual brewing, and ability to talk to customers about roasters, processing methods, and origins)
• Strong sense of ownership and reliability
• Comfortable working independently and making decisions
• Organized and detail-oriented
• NYC Food Handler’s Card
• Strong communication skills and a calm presence under pressure

Nice to have:
• Based in or near North Brooklyn, with some flexibility to occasionally stop in outside of regular shifts if needed

Pay:
• Starting at $20/hr + tips

To Apply:
Email info@cadetcoffee.com with:
• Your resume
• A few sentences about your experience in coffee
• Two or three roasters you love
• (Optional) Any experience with training, inventory, or shop operations
