1 Barista job in Boise

Roast & Vine is more than a coffee shop and wine bar. We are a place where people come to connect, recharge, celebrate and feel genuinely welcomed.

As an extension of Graeber & Company, Roast & Vine carries forward a legacy of elevated hospitality, community and attention to detail. We believe the smallest moments matter- from remembering a regular’s order to making sure every drink leaves the bar exactly as intended.

Our goal is simple: create an exceptional experience for every guest, every time.

About the Role

We are looking for a dependable, hospitality-minded barista to join our team full-time.

This person will prepare consistently excellent beverages while helping create the warm, polished and approachable environment Roast & Vine is known for. You will be expected to take ownership of the guest experience, maintain high standards and support the entire team- not just stay behind the espresso machine.

This is a great role for someone who enjoys people, works well in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in doing things correctly even when no one is watching.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare espresso drinks, coffee, matcha, tea, seasonal beverages and other menu items according to Roast & Vine recipes and presentation standards.
• Provide warm, attentive and efficient service to every guest.
• Learn the menu thoroughly and confidently make recommendations based on guest preferences.
• Create an experience that feels personal without slowing down service.
• Maintain consistency in drink quality, portions, presentation and ticket times.
• Take orders, process payments and accurately operate the point-of-sale system.
• Prepare ingredients, restock supplies and complete opening, shift-change and closing responsibilities.
• Maintain a clean, organized and visually polished bar, café and guest area.
• Follow food-safety, sanitation and responsible beverage-service requirements.
• Deliver orders to Graeber & Company guests when needed.
• Support special events, private gatherings, promotions and seasonal menu launches.
• Communicate low inventory, equipment concerns and guest feedback to leadership.
• Help receive and organize deliveries.
• Step in wherever needed during busy periods.
• Protect the atmosphere of Roast & Vine by being aware of music, lighting, cleanliness, presentation and the overall guest experience.

What We’re Looking For

• Previous barista, café, restaurant, hospitality or customer-service experience is preferred.
• A genuine interest in coffee, beverages and hospitality.
• Reliable attendance and consistent punctuality.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to remain composed, friendly and accurate during busy service periods.
• Attention to detail and a willingness to follow established recipes and systems.
• Confidence talking with guests and making recommendations.
• The ability to accept coaching and apply feedback without defensiveness.
• A team-first mindset and willingness to help outside of assigned tasks.
• The ability to stand for extended periods and safely lift up to [25–40] pounds.
• Availability for a consistent full-time schedule, including some mornings, evenings, weekends and special events.
• Willingness to complete any required food-handler or beverage-service training.

You’ll Be Successful Here If You

• Notice what needs to be done and take care of it without waiting to be asked.
• Care about consistency as much as creativity.
• Understand that hospitality means making people feel seen, not simply completing a transaction.
• Keep your standards high when the café gets busy.
• Communicate directly, professionally and respectfully.
• Enjoy learning and want to become more knowledgeable about coffee, tea, wine and flavor.
• Take ownership when something goes wrong and help find a solution.
• Contribute to the energy of the room rather than waiting for someone else to create it.

This Probably Isn’t the Right Role If You

• Only want to make drinks and avoid interacting with guests.
• Regularly arrive late or need frequent schedule changes.
• Believe cleaning, restocking or supporting another team member is someone else’s job.
• Become careless when service gets busy.
• Resist structure, recipes, accountability or feedback.
• Are looking for a workplace where you can simply clock in, keep your head down and clock out.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay plus tips.
• A consistent full-time schedule.
• Comprehensive training on our menu, recipes, service standards and equipment.
• Opportunities to expand your knowledge of specialty coffee, tea, wine and hospitality.
• Employee discounts at Roast & Vine and [Graeber & Company, if applicable].
• [Paid time off, health benefits, retirement plan or other applicable benefits.]
• The opportunity to join a growing concept supported by a long-standing Boise business and hospitality community.
• A team environment that values accountability, inclusion, growth and taking care of one another.

• What does exceptional hospitality mean to you?
• Why are you interested in joining Roast & Vine?
• What is your current availability?
