Welcome to the hive.

At Alvarium Roasting Co., we’re on a mission to make the world a better place through phenomenal coffee, hard work, and creating an inviting space for the community to work, decompress, and sip something great. Whether you’re getting mornings started or brightening someone’s day, we’re looking for people who bring good vibes, big smiles, and a commitment to doing great work — from bean to cup.

You don’t need deep specialty coffee experience to join us — we’ll train the right person. What matters most here is reliability, a positive attitude, care for community, and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Do

Craft great coffee & experiences

• Make and serve coffee and related drinks with attention to quality and consistency
• Share recommendations and connect with guests with genuine warmth

Keep the hive humming

• Work confidently in busy service periods
• Stay productive during quieter times (restock, clean, prep, organize)

Support good vibes and teamwork

• Treat teammates and guests with respect
• Communicate clearly and stay open to coaching
• Contribute to a space that feels inclusive and welcoming for everyone

Standards that matter

• Maintain clean and safe workstations and guest areas

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

We’re vibing with people who are:

• Punctual, dependable, and ready to work
• Comfortable taking initiative and staying productive
• Friendly, welcoming, and great with people
• Open to feedback and growth
• Able to thrive independently and as part of a team

Hospitality or customer service experience is a big plus but not required. Specialty coffee knowledge is welcomed — not required.

Schedule & Availability

We’re looking for team members who are open to being scheduled for shifts between 6:30 AM – 3:00 PM, primarily Wednesday through Sunday.

• Shifts fall within our morning café hours (6:30 AM start required for opening shifts)
• Weekend availability is especially helpful
• Schedules vary week to week based on business needs
• Average hours are anticipated to be 25–30 per week
• Team members must be able to work at both our New Britain and West Hartford locations

You won’t necessarily work every day or every opening shift — we’re building a flexible team that supports one another and keeps the hive running smoothly.

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand for extended periods
• Ability to lift up to 40 lbs

Hive Culture & Inclusivity

We’re all about inclusivity, and community. We want teammates who help keep that energy alive for guests and coworkers alike.
