Job Description

Here’s a refreshed version that matches the voice and polish of the previous postings—approachable, a little playful, but still clear about expectations and standards.Barista

The Spoke & Bird — South Loop and Pilsen, Chicago, IL

Full-Time or Part-Time • $26–$34/hour (base + tips)
Third-wave coffee experience a plus

If dialing in espresso feels satisfying, house-made syrups make sense to you, and you don’t think a barista’s job ends at pushing a button—we should talk.

Spoke & Bird is a WBE-owned, farm-to-table hospitality group built on scratch cooking, locally sourced ingredients, and thoughtful execution. Our bar program lives at the intersection of specialty coffee, chef-driven food, and a small-but-mighty cocktail list—all handled by baristas who know their craft.

We’re currently hiring for South Loop and Pilsen

What Makes This Different
  • All syrups and mixers are made in-house

  • Coffee and beverage programs are built around local, seasonal ingredients

  • Baristas collaborate directly with our chef and kitchen team on drinks and recipes

  • A tight specialty cocktail menu —some batched, some made to order, all intentional

  • Higher-than-average ticket totals thanks to a full food menu (yes, tips reflect that)

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Pulling quality espresso and building thoughtful beverages, consistently

  • Making and maintaining house-made syrups and components

  • Preparing coffee, tea, and cocktails with care and efficiency

  • Respecting your tools, equipment, and workspace

  • Creating a welcoming, calm experience for guests—even when it’s busy

What We’re Looking For
  • Baristas who care about craft, cleanliness, and consistency

  • Third-wave or specialty coffee experience is a plus (but not the only qualifier)

  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, guest-facing environment

  • A positive presence who contributes to a strong team culture

  • Someone who enjoys learning, collaborating, and refining their skills

Pay, Schedule & Perks
  • $26–$34/hour (base + tips, depending on shifts and volume)

  • Full-time and part-time roles available

  • Health insurance

  • Commuter benefits

  • Potential bonuses

  • Dining discounts

  • Wellness program

How to Apply

We keep it simple.

Include your work history (formal resume or otherwise) and a brief introduction. Tell us what you enjoy about coffee and hospitality.

Please—no phone calls. We promise we’ll reach out if it’s a good fit.

If you love made-from-scratch beverages, appreciate thoughtful systems, and want to work somewhere that treats baristas like professionals—not button-pushers—we’d love to hear from you.
