What We Offer

• Competitive pay of $16.50-$18 (depending on experience, age, and availability)
• Free uniforms
• 50% off our World Famous Food
• Paid training (some barista experience preferred but not required!)
• Flexible scheduling
• College scholarship opportunities
• Growth and promotion pathways
• Locally owned & operated—people-first culture

Who We’re Looking For

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment
