The opportunity
We’re not handing out titles — we’re building the right team.
If you come in, do the job well, and prove yourself:There’s a clear path to step into a Head Barista role, with more responsibility, more money, and a bigger role in the business.
We’ll support you — but you’ve got to earn it.

The vibe
We’re a community-first venue. We know our locals, we back our team, and we take pride in what we put out every day.
But we also run a tight ship — everyone pulls their weight, and standards matter.

* You don’t handle pressure well
* You need to be told what to do all the time
* You’re just looking to cruise
Send through your experience and a quick note on how you handle a busy service.
