We are a James Beard–nominated bakery with a deep commitment to craft, community, and the kind of hospitality that makes people want to come back every morning. Our team is small and close-knit. We hold ourselves to a high standard — because we genuinely care about the food we make and the experience we offer. If you love good bread, love people, and thrive in a fast-moving environment, we'd love to meet you!
As a front of house team member, you are often the first person our guests interact with. You set the tone for their entire visit. You'll work the counter, run the pastry and bread racks, pour coffee, take orders, handle payments, and keep the floor and display looking impeccable throughout the day. You'll also become knowledgeable about what we bake — the flours we use, the fermentation, the seasonal offerings — so you can speak to it with confidence and enthusiasm.
