Employment Requests

employment

  • We are open 7 days a week and require everyone to cover weekend shifts.

  • High School Students: due to the intense nature of the training, we don’t hire students until the summer after their junior year. Our shifts are long and demanding, and we think better suited to slightly older students. Because we have so few positions for high school students, and the training is intense, we ask that any students who work for us in the summer commit to working through the school year on weekends.

  • We love people who love coffee and good food and BOOKS. We like people who can talk to other people.  We really love people who want to work. We like people who read all the way to the bottom of the instructions because we know they’ll follow the rules.  We think we like you now. You should email us a resume. Because what’s more fun than working in a cool bookstore coffee shop and hanging out with other people who like to do the same?
