Pastry Chef — Full-TimeThe Polly Fox Bakery & Bistro · Abbotsford, BC

Compensation: $20 – $24 per hour (commensurate with experience) Schedule: Full-time · Early mornings Benefits:Extended health & dental, and a full benefits package.

Bake something people cross the city for

Since 2016, The Polly Fox has done something most bakeries wouldn't dare to: build a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen that makes pastries good enough that nobody misses the gluten. No shortcuts, no cross-contamination, no compromise — just beautiful, honest baking for a community that has trusted us for years.

Now we're looking for a Pastry Chef to lead our pastry program and take it somewhere new.

If you can laminate a croissant that shatters at the first bite, sheet a Danish that holds its shape and shine, and treat every viennoiserie like it matters — and if the idea of mastering all of that entirely gluten-free excites you rather than scares you — this is a rare and genuinely special kitchen to call home.

What you'll do

- Produce our full pastry line to a consistently high standard: croissants, Danishes, laminated doughs, and the full range of pastries.
- Own the craft — mixing, laminating, shaping, proofing, and baking with care and precision every single day.
- Bring new ideas to the table. We want a chef who develops new items, plays with seasonal specials, and helps shape where our pastry menu goes next. Your creativity will have a real home here.
- Uphold our celiac-safe standards without exception — this is the heart of what makes Polly Fox trusted.
- Keep the pastry station organized, clean, and running smoothly.

Who should apply





We're looking for an experienced pastry professional — this role is not an entry point. You should apply if you have:

- Proven, hands-on experience making croissants, Danishes, and laminated pastries. Lamination is central to this role; you should already be confident with it.
- A strong track record in a bakery or pastry kitchen.
- Genuine excitement about gluten-free baking (prior gluten-free experience is a big asset; a real desire to master it is essential).
- A creative streak — you love developing new pastries, not just repeating a recipe card.
- Reliability for early-morning, full-time work and a calm, consistent presence in the kitchen.

If lamination and pastry craft are your world, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Polly Fox

- A full benefits package — extended health and dental coverage included.
- Full time stability with a beloved, established local brand.
- Creative ownership — real input into the menu, not just a line to follow.
- A rare craft challenge: few pastry chefs anywhere get to master world-class laminated pastry in a fully gluten-free kitchen. This is a skill and a story that sets you apart.
- A loyal community that already knows and champions what we do.
