Interested in working at the cafe?

We’re always eager to find new folks who are willing to work either in the front of house as a barista or in our kitchen as a line cook or chef.

We offer a competitive salary with tips for the barista staff, opportunities to work extra hours during special events, opportunities for advancement and a 401k plan.

At Maple Leaf Coffee House, we value folks who are enthusiastic about food, coffee and creating a welcoming environment for your coworkers and customers. Our customers love getting to know the staff and seeing a smiling face to brighten their day.

What kind of place is it to work at?

My wife and I opened Maple Leaf Coffee Roasters in 2018 with a mission to share coffee with our friends, neighbors and coffee lovers alike. We’ve always been committed to creating a business that caters to all shapes and sizes of people and coffee drinkers. We’re eager to create a similar open, accepting and rewarding environment in our cafe with the help of every employee who helps us make this dream come true.

What I expect from everyone

Treat each other with respect

  • My goal is for you to enjoy the people you work with. I don’t expect you to be friends outside of work with your coworkers (though nothing wrong with that of course).

  • Communication is hard. We’ll all say something wrong to each other or be misunderstood. Give others the benefit of the doubt and if you have an issue with a coworker, start from a position of curiosity.

  • Be open to feedback. As the owner, I expect you to be able to tell me when I get things wrong (which I will) and for you to be able to tell your coworkers.

  • None of us are going to get everything right all the time. When someone misses the mark, including me or the manager, I want you to feel comfortable pointing that out. But don’t be a jerk about it. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s part of life. Making mistakes with malice is different than making mistakes in good faith.

  • Always assume positive intent. You never know what someone might be going through (customers included) and sometimes giving others a bit of grace can go a long way.

Nobody succeeds alone

  • We should all be pulling in the same direction. If we can do that, it makes everyone’s job easier. Do what you can to coordinate with your shiftmates. When one person fails or doesn’t show up on time, everyone on staff suffers.

  • Nobody is more important than anyone else. Your job is no more important than anyone else’s, including mine as the owner.

  • Look out for each other. Make an effort to look out for each other and pitch in wherever you can, especially if somebody is under stress.

  • Taking pride in your work is awesome, having an ego is not.

Does this sound like you?

If it does, two more things to note:

  1. Right now we are not looking for temporary help. If you’re back for the summer and looking only for a temporary job, we’re not the place for you.

  2. We heavily prefer previous experience as a barista or cook as it helps cut back on the amount of training we need to do. If you don’t have experience as either, please let us know how you’d be able to overcome any hurdles in training.
