About you

You would ideally have some experience in hospitality and/or speciality coffee, but the right attitude and willingness to learn matters above all else. You are full of good energy, a helpful team member, and someone keen to learn and build your stills and knowledge in coffee and hospitality. While there are a variety of shift options available, you would be able to commit to a mix of mornings and/or weekends, and happy to open the shop when needed at 6.15am.

About us

We are an independent specialty coffee bar, owned and run by Rodolfo and Charlotte. Through our coffee bar, we offer great-tasting coffee on the go, a quick respite for travellers/commuters, and an impressive selection of retail items and equipment for coffee lovers who brew at home. We roast our own coffee beans too – which we sell online and in-store, and we are extremely passionate about ‘wowing’ people with our coffee, and the other unique-tasting drinks that we serve in our coffee bar. But more than anything, we are a hospitality brand, and the social atmosphere and professional service that our customers experience with us is an essential part of our business. Staff are the heartbeat of our operations, and we aim to be a great employer by providing our staff with the space and opportunities to learn and grow, transparency and openness in how we work, fair pay and benefits, and the flexibility and respect for different staff member’s needs.

A culture of learning and opportunity

As a small team, we value thoughts and ideas from all our team members, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in and learn from all areas of our business, including roasting, e-commerce, marketing, operations, food tech, strategy, design and finance. As we roast our own coffee, there are regular opportunities to take part in cuppings, learn about roasting, and see our coffee’s journey from green bean to the behind the bar.
