Job description

Exit 11 Coffee is one of the only drive-thru coffee in the area serving homemade, fresh, clean, organic food and drinks.

We’re looking for baristas who care about what they serve, take pride in quality ingredients, and want to do things the right way — even when it’s busy.

We serve award-winning, locally roasted organic coffee using traditional Italian espresso equipment. This is not a relaxed café environment. We work with focus, consistency, and purpose as a team.

Pay: $20–$25/hour

Training will begin at a slightly lower rate until you are certified.

What This Job Is

• Crafting espresso drinks using professional Italian equipment
• Working in a fast, focused drive-thru environment
• Serving customers with consistency, efficiency, and professionalism
• Keeping a clean, organized workspace and strong workflow
• Working alongside other adults who take their work seriously—and still know how to have fun doing it.

What We’re Looking For

• Maturity, responsibility, and reliability
• A genuine interest in making homemade, fresh, clean, organic food and drinks
• Willingness to learn high-level coffee knowledge (no experience required)
• Teachable, dependable, and able to stay engaged for an entire shift
• Interest in learning a trade and growing in skill over time

What This Is Not

• Not a slow café
• Not focused on latte art
• Not a job for people who want to coast

Training & Growth

We will train the right person to become a skilled coffee professional. Prior coffee experience is not required — willingness to learn and care about quality is.
