We are Thornton Family Coffee Roasters

•a very experienced family wholesale coffee roasting business, and the largest coffee roasting company in Beaverton. Our only retail presence is our walk-up window that is attached to our roastery in Beaverton where we sell beans, serve coffee, espresso drinks, and a small selection of pastries.

After 8 years we have finally exhausted our pool of family members to hire and we are looking to the public to fill this important role and join our team!

We are hiring for about 28 hours a week in a barista role at our window. Since we have no kitchen, and no customer seating, it's all about the coffee and the service. No food prep. No tables to wipe down. No uniforms. Super small team. Lots of jokes. Great regular customers. Family owned, family operated.
