We’re a busy specialty coffee shop in Sagres, a surf town in the Algarve in southern Portugal. Alongside coffee, we bake and produce everything in house, from sourdough to pastries.

• • Leading the front of house team during daily service
• • Working the bar alongside the team
• • Training and guiding staff
• • Organizing schedules, holidays, and tips
• • Ordering daily supplies such as milk and coffee
• • Working with the GM on hiring and building the team
• • Passing on information between the team and management


We’re looking for someone who


• •Has solid barista skills and experience working in a specialty coffee environment
• • Is naturally good with people and comfortable leading a team
• • Is organized and able to take responsibility for daily operations
• • Enjoys working in a busy café environment
• • Interest in natural wine is welcome, though not required
