Hi!

We are Coffee Circle, Germany’s leading sustainable specialty coffee roastery based in Berlin. We offer the world’s finest coffee and equipment to over 150,000 customers online and in our Cafés, driven by our goal to make high‑end coffee experiences enjoyable and accessible to all. We foster direct trade relationships with coffee farmers worldwide, pay high prices for the coffee beans, and ensure everyone involved in the value chain gets treated fairly and respectfully. For every kilogram of coffee we sell, we invest € 1 through our Coffee Circle Foundation e.V. to help support sustainable improvements in coffee‑growing areas, such as providing clean drinking water, hygiene training, and coffee labs. With over 4 million euros raised in donations, we cannot wait to increase our positive impact with you on our team, one cup of coffee at a time.

Our offer:

• There are five Coffee Circle Cafés in Berlin, Wedding, Mitte, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauerberg and Neukölln. The work location may vary due to operational needs, though we also consider your preferences! The working hours depend on the location. Usually, the opening shift starts either 30 min or 60 min before the opening time to the public, and the latest shift ends either 30 min or 60 min after the closing time to the public.
