Chit needs your help!

With the bulk of our barista team heading back to school in just a couple of weeks, “Chit”—aka Wendy—is feeling mighty lonely. 🙁

We need year-round FULL and PART TIME baristas sooner than later. No experience necessary. We will show you everything you need to know. Added bonus—we have a beautiful, brand new red shiny espresso machine that practically runs itself. 😁

$18.25/hr, plus additional $7 to $10.00/hr in tips—so roughly $25.00 to $28.00/hr.

You’ll get staff discounts both on and off shift, flexible hours, and lots of very friendly regulars. 😊

Health/dental benefits after 3 months for those working 30+ hours per week or more.

Please share! Without new team members, we will be forced to close two days a week, which is something we desperately want to avoid. 😑

Please email your resume to [email protected], or drop by the bakery in person.
