Barista — New York

Role overview

Blue Bottle Coffee is recruiting a Barista for its New York cafés. The role combines drink preparation, hospitality, product explanation, cleaning, stock care, and the steady teamwork required to keep a busy service environment calm and consistent.

What the work involves

Baristas are expected to learn recipes and equipment routines, dial in coffee, communicate with guests, and maintain food-safety and workplace standards. Accuracy matters, but so do pace, observation, and the ability to recover gracefully when service conditions change.
