Barista Position

We are currently hiring eveningbaristas! We are looking for part time folks who can work our evening shift 2:45PM-10:45PM Friday-Monday evenings. No partial shifts you must be available 2:45pm-10:45pm.

Applicants should have a flexible schedule and be available to work at least three 8-hour shifts a week (including weekends and evenings)16-32 hrs/week.

Though we are absolutely looking for coffee experience we also very much believe in ongoing training and will definitely be training to ACRCs standards of espresso preparation and coffee knowledge so although you need to have some coffee shop experience you dont have to be master of the craft; you just have to love coffee and be willing to learn. We are always looking for applicants that show strong leadership and responsibility with the potential to become Shift Leads.

The position we are currently hiring for is not for everyone so we would like to try to save some time and effort on everyones part:

If you do not have coffee experience please do not apply for this current position.
If you cannot work evenings and weekends please do not apply.
If you do not truly like coffee (or you only like it underneath a lot of added flavors/syrups) you probably shouldnt apply.
And if you are not a genuinely cheerful optimistic outwardly friendly person ...please skip this ad and try to find a position more likely to be a better fit for you.
We only say this because we want you to be happy where you work and we want to be happy working with you!
