We're a small, owner-operated café looking for someone we can count on to keep our second café location running the way it's meant to run. This is a hands-on barista role first, supervisory role second — expect roughly 90% of your time behind the bar, working alongside other team members and running the machines, with about 10% on training, ordering, and overseeing operations.

- Summer: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–2:30 PM

- Evening & weekend availability may be needed June–July for the Colorado Shakespeare Festival, where we're the primary snack vendor at the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre
- Occasional coverage help may be needed at our other location
