Bakery Assistant

About Our Café

Welcome to Purrfect Cafe! We are a unique destination that pairs the comfort of a specialty café with the joyful presence of rescue cats. While our dedicated cat care team looks after our feline residents, our cafe serves as the heart of our operation, offering delicious, cat-themed desserts and beverages in a bright, welcoming atmosphere.

We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic Bakery Assistant to join our team. If you love baking, enjoy working in a cheerful and relaxed setting, and appreciate the calming presence of cats (from a distance!), this might be the perfect role for you.

Position: Bakery Assistant

Job Overview

As a Bakery Assistant, you’ll play an important role in preparing, baking, and presenting our menu of pastries and plated desserts. This role does not involve direct cat care—our cat specialists handle that—but you will be working in a space where cats are present in our adjacent lounge area.

• Maintain cleanliness and organization in the baking area, following all food safety and sanitation guidelines

• Monitor inventory of baking supplies and ingredients, assisting with restocking as needed
• Collaborate with café staff to ensure seamless service and fresh product availability
• Occasionally assist front-of-house with service, packaging or answering basic guest questions about bakery items
• Loading dish machine and drying plates

Requirements

• Previous baking or kitchen experience
• Barista skills an asset
• Ability to follow recipes and pay close attention to detail
• Comfortable working in an environment where cats are present (please consider any allergies before applying)
• Strong work ethic, reliability, and a positive attitude
• Food Handler’s Certificate (or ability to obtain one)
• Able to stand for extended periods and lift up to 20 lbs
• Morning and weekend availability is a plus

What We Offer

• Work in a unique, uplifting setting surrounded by friendly, adoptable cats
• Join a passionate team committed to both great pastries and animal welfare
• Shared gratuities
• Employee discount

How to Apply

If you’re excited to bring your baking and barista skills to a café with a heart—and don’t mind sharing the space with some furry friends—we’d love to hear from you!

Please send your resume and a brief note about why you're interested in joining our cafe team along with your availability.
