Tailor Your Resume for this Job


Fresh Baguette is a fast-growing, artisanal bakery known for its high-quality standards and modern atmosphere. The company was founded in Bethesda, MD in 2013, to bring fresh, made-from-scratch organic breads, pastries, sweets, and croissant items inspired by bakeries in France to the DMV area. We have expanded to eight retail locations, two production bakeries, and a thriving wholesale business. We serve coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, and grocery stores with fresh products every day, 365 days a year.


Our mission is to offer our customers unique moments of indulgence that are delicious to every sense. We are passionate about quality and take great pride in everything we do. This value is evident in everything we do, from the smell of scratch-made artisanal croissants and organic bread baking fresh throughout the day to the beauty of hand-crafted pastries, delicious coffee, and savory creations delivered in a warm and inviting atmosphere.


Barista with Early Morning Baking Duties


Location:
Fresh Baguette – Bethesda (4919 Bethesda Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814)
Compensation: $21.00–$22.00/hr (including tips) | Base pay starts at $12.00/hr with room for growth


About the Role

This is not a typical barista job — it’s a hybrid position that combines early morning hands-on baking with a vital front-of-house customer service role. You’ll begin your shift early as a baker (4:30AM–7:00AM), preparing our signature breads and baked goods, then transition to the front of the store when we open for the day, serving as a Barista and customer service expert (7:00AM–1:00PM).

We're looking for someone who thrives on interaction — someone who loves starting conversations, helping customers find their favorite pastry, and keeping the front looking sharp and running smoothly. If you enjoy connecting with people just as much as crafting quality food, this is the role for you.


Key Responsibilities

Back-of-House (4:30AM–7:00AM)

  • Bake high-quality breads and pastries to Fresh Baguette standards
  • Prepare doughs and ingredients for the following day
  • Maintain a clean, organized baking area, including fridges and freezers
  • Receive and store deliveries as needed

Front-of-House (7:00AM–1:00PM)

  • Serve customers with enthusiasm and warmth — be the face of our bakery
  • Prepare and serve coffee, sandwiches, salads, and pastries
  • Create an inviting store environment by maintaining displays and cleanliness
  • Share product knowledge and recommend items to guests
  • Operate the register with accuracy and confidence
  • Ensure customer satisfaction by solving issues with professionalism and care

What We're Looking For

  • A people person who enjoys conversation and hospitality
  • A team player who’s equally comfortable baking in the early hours and engaging with guests once doors open
  • Experience as a barista or in a customer-facing food service role
  • Comfortable waking up early — the shift begins at 4:30AM
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to multitask in a fast-paced setting
  • Familiarity with baking or food prep is a plus
  • Comfortable with handling cash/card transactions and operating a register
  • Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods
  • Willingness to work weekends, holidays, and early mornings

Perks & Benefits

  • Paid Time Off
  • Health & Dental Insurance (after 90 days)
  • 401K + 401K Match
  • Paid Training
  • 40% Employee Discount
  • Free Lunch
  • No Late Nights
  • Anniversary Gift Card
  • Exciting growth potential within a rapidly expanding company

Schedule

  • 6–8 hour shifts
  • 5 days/week, including weekends
  • Shift: 4:30AM – 1:00PM (Baking Barista/Customer Service)

Apply if you love early mornings, fresh bread, and turning customers into regulars.
Join us in creating moments that feel a little more special — one pastry and one smile at a time.
