Barista

Blackberry Market is a fast-casual cafe and bakery offering up daily handcrafted meals, dinners to-go, premium coffee drinks, memorable baked goods, and a robust catering menu.

We believe in food and drink that is non-processed, handmade, and fresh. We recognize that food and drink is not only a means to nourishment, but an excuse to pause, reflect, and connect with those we love. Blackberry was designed with this in mind – an active space for meaningful conversations alongside healthful and thoughtful food.

We are quickly expanding and we're looking for new team members to support our mission.

Whether you’re an expert barista or you're looking to make a career change, you'll find that Blackberry Market is a unique place. We provide excellent work-life balance, competitive wages, and have no evening shift.

At Blackberry, we value meaningful experiences around excellent food, belonging and connection among our staff and guests.

If you are someone who values excellent work, professional growth and human connection, then we want to meet you and talk about how we could grow together!
