About us:

We are Kape de Filipina, a Philippine specialty coffee roastery based in Berlin. We grow and source single-origin coffees from the highlands of Mindanao, the slopes of Mount Apo, and the farms of Cavite — including a specialty-grade Kapeng Barako, a rare Philippine Liberica unlike anything else you'll find on a Berlin menu.

This June 2026, we open our first café at Dunckerstr. 12 in Prenzlauer Berg. No kitchen, no late nights. Just exceptional coffee, a handful of Filipino baked goods, and a small team that genuinely cares about what we serve and why.

We are looking for a barista who brings both skill and curiosity to the bar. Someone who can pull a precise espresso, talk through a single-origin filter with a guest, and hold their own behind a busy counter with warmth and professionalism.

What you'll do:

  • Pull espresso and prepare filter coffee to our standards, consistently
  • Maintain and dial in our machines at the start of every shift
  • Guide guests through our coffee menu — origins, varieties, tasting notes — with genuine enthusiasm, not a script
  • Handle retail bags and coffee accessories, and help guests choose what's right for them at home
  • Keep the bar clean, stocked, and running smoothly throughout service
  • Work closely with a small, tight-knit team to create a café environment we're all proud of

What we're looking for:

  • At least one year of professional specialty coffee experience. You know how to pull a proper espresso, prepare filter with precision, and take care of the machines you work with.
  • Eligibility to work in gastronomy in Germany — Anmeldung, tax ID, health insurance, Rote Karte (or a confirmed appointment for it).
  • Availability from 8am, including weekends and public holidays.
  • A real passion for specialty coffee and the curiosity to learn the stories behind Philippine origins. Guests will ask. You should be excited to answer.
  • A warm, professional front-of-house presence. You enjoy people and know how to make a bar feel welcoming at 8:30 in the morning.
  • Basic German is a plus — our guests speak a mix, and a few words go a long way.

What we offer:

  • Fair hourly wage: Paid fairly for your skill and experience
  • 100% of your tips: Every cent will go directly to you!
  • Room to grow: We want to nurture a café manager within 12 months. That could be you.
  • No late nights: Open 8:30–16:30, every day. No kitchen.
  • Free coffee, of course! Plus discounts on food and retail.
  • Be part of something from day one
