Work at Pineapple Sol

We are hiring at our all-day cafe in Waverly Place, Cary.

A small kitchen that takes the details seriously

Pineapple Sol is a locally owned all-day cafe at 302 Colonades Way, Ste 109 in Cary, open Monday - Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM and Saturday - Sunday from 7 AM to 5 PM. We serve breakfast and brunch all day and lunch from 10 AM to 4 PM, and we pull organic espresso from open to close.

The whole kitchen is halal, every egg is cage-free, and every plate is made to order rather than held under a heat lamp. That is a real constraint on how we work, and it is the part of the job we care most about getting right. If you like cooking or making coffee for people who notice the difference, you will like it here.

Barista

Full-time or part-time · Cary, NC · $15-$18 per hour

Pull organic espresso, whisk stone-ground matcha, and build the latte flights people drive across the Triangle for.

What you will do

  • Pull and dial in organic espresso through the day, and keep the bar clean and stocked while you do it.
  • Build our signature drinks to spec - Dubai Chocolate Lattes, Pumpkin Biscoff Lattes, cold brew, and the latte and matcha flights.
  • Work the register and the pickup counter, including online orders coming in from Toast.
  • Know the menu well enough to answer the halal, allergen, and dairy-free questions that come up every shift.

What we are looking for

  • You are reliable on early mornings. The doors open at 7 AM every day, and opening shifts start before that.
  • Previous espresso experience helps, but we will train someone who is genuinely eager and pays attention to detail.
  • You are steady during a weekend rush and still warm with the guest in front of you.
  • Weekend availability, since Saturday and Sunday are our busiest days.
