IMPORTANT: LATTE ART IS A MUST

We take our coffee seriously. You should be able to consistently pour clean latte art (hearts, tulips, rosettas, etc.).

If we move forward with your application, we will ask for photos or video of your latte art, and there will be a latte art demo during the interview.

If latte art is not something you feel confident about yet, this position probably is not the right fit—and that is completely okay.
