Pros

Fast pace, always doing something. Awesome working culture Meeting new people that come into the shop Free coffee and tea - WOOOOOO!! Working with amazing people You never left work feeling bad; you were always satisfied that you made someone's day better.

Cons

If you're not a morning person, opening the shop at 5 AM can be tough. The lack of connection with some guests (this is a give-in working at a cafe though, some people just want their coffee and get on with their day) Be prepared for your entire body to smell like coffee. Clothes and all. Can be overwhelming when the shop is slammed, but you just have to take the job one cup at a time :)

Thank you for your review! You make the culture what it is and we are so thankful for your contributions. And while we happen to think smelling like coffee all day isn't so bad - we understand you might need to mix it up sometimes. :)
