Join our team
Want to work with nice people in a friendly and supportive environment?
We’re always looking for people to wholeheartedly look after our café guests on the shop floor and from the kitchen.
Our team members come from different backgrounds and work experiences, but we come together as a close-knit team, helping each other out and mucking in. It’s an opportunity to meet people and make friends in a welcoming community environment, while perfecting some skills like how to make the perfect cappuccino or Post Office breakfast.
And as we have a passion for good food and good coffee, you’re guaranteed a tasty lunch and delicious coffee while on shift!
