Our Baristas live and breathe the brown stuff. They care deeply about the coffee they make and constantly strive to ensure every cup they make is as good as it gets. They balance their time between serving the perfect cup, doing whatever it takes to deliver a dazzling customer experience and keep their shop (and themselves) beautifully clean and tidy. In between all that... talking coffee, coffee, coffee. Coffee's craft that can never be mastered, and our Baristas are coffee connoisseurs whose passion for developing their craft is insatiable.
