Wondering how you can get your artwork seen? Become a barista!
Our Muffin Break baristas are talented and highly-trained artists who produce beautiful latte art on a daily basis. To become one, you go through a nationally accredited barista program.
One of our baristas, Melissa, says that she loves being a barista with Muffin Break since 2006 “because making the perfect cup of coffee is like an artform. So many factors come together and so many people are involved from farm to cup to make someone’s day a little better. I get to be there to see it!”
Another of the barista team, Megan who has also been with us since 2006, says that, “nothing in the world smells better than coffee, and few things taste as good…and I get to be around it all day! There’s nothing more amazing than taking a perfect shot of espresso and mixing it with a sexy jug of smooth velvety milk – not many other things are as beautiful as this.”
If you’re worried you don’t have the skills to match up with Melissa and Megan, fear not.

- Back of House: Bake our wholesome creations.
- All Rounder: A combination of the above!
Working with the team in store will give you the opportunity to show off your customer service skills and build trust as a valuable and reliable staff member. Then you can upskill to your dream job of barista!
