$18.50/hr guaranteed with tips. Family-owned roaster, 6 Denver metro cafes. We train you.

Lost Coffee has been family-owned since 2010. We roast in small batches, and buy from producers we know by name. Six neighborhood cafes and no corporate playbook.

We're hiring part-time baristas across all six locations: Castle Rock, Aurora, Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Backcountry (Highlands Ranch), and Arvada. Tell us which store works for you when you apply.

WHAT YOU'D DO

• Create beautiful espresso beverages you're proud to serve
• Learn lots about coffee
• Run the bar clean: dialing in, calibrating equipment
• Take care of regulars, and make first-timers want to become regulars
• Handle the unglamorous half: restocking, dishes, opening and closing checklists

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• You like coffee. Not "willing to learn about coffee." You actually like it
• Reliable. A small team feels every no-show
• Steady when there's a line eight deep and the milk fridge is empty
• Available for a mix of weekday mornings and weekends. Early starts are part of the job
• We're looking for people who want to stay with us a year or more. Training a barista well takes months, and we'd rather invest in someone planning to be here
• No experience required and some of our best hires started with zero coffee shop experience.

PAY$12.50/hr base plus tips, with a guaranteed minimum of $18.50/hr. If base plus tips comes in under $18.50 in a pay period, we make up the difference. Tips are pooled and paid out with each check.

SCHEDULEPart-time, 25 to 35 hours per week.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Paid sick leave
• Free shift drinks, plus a staff discount on beans, gear, and merch
• Real training on espresso, brewing, and origin
• A team small enough that your manager knows your name and your schedule preferencesHOW TO APPLYHit Apply on this posting, and let us know which cafe location you'd prefer.
