About You
Our ideal candidate is outgoing, organized, and enjoys interacting with the diverse local and global customers that stop by the shop. You take pride in perfecting your barista skills and noticing the slightest flavor change of recently pulled shots.

Previous specialty coffee, craft food, or retail experience is a plus.
