About Us
We’ve been roasting speciality coffee for over 30 years. From humble beginnings as a little coffee cart in Auckland, New Zealand, Allpress has evolved into a sophisticated brand that stands for flavour and service. Right from the start, three core principles have formed the backbone of our business – People, Flavour, and Innovation.
We are united in our genuine care for each other, our customers, and our belief in what we do. We need great people who will bring their imagination, skills, and most importantly, their passion to our business.
About the Role
We are looking for an energetic and highly motivated hospitality professional to join our new Farringdon Café team as a Front of House Barista.
Here at Allpress, we have an uncompromising commitment to great tasting coffee, flavour, and service. We care deeply about our customers, and strive to deliver a consistent & distinctive customer experience that is unique to the Allpress brand.
When you work with us as a Front of House Barista, you’re not just selling and preparing great coffee in our café, you are a brand ambassador for our wholesale business that stretches across London, Europe, and the Middle East.
