We kicked off with one mission: to shake up the same-old coffee scene. We're a high-energy, flavor-forward team inspired by Melbourne's vibrant coffee and brunch culture. We believe that work shouldn't be part of a predictable loop; it should be a place that crackles with energy and creativity.
If you're passionate, bold, and ready to break the bland with us, you might be the perfect fit.

Our Hiring Philosophy
Great teams build great companies. But great people only stay where they're trusted. We believe in autonomy, clarity, and mutual respect. That's why:
May the best managers win
Teams are free to choose the leaders who actually lead. If someone's not adding value, they don't get to hide behind titles.
No non-competes. Ever.
You own your talent. We're not here to trap you—we're here to create an environment where you won't want to leave. Your growth is your own, and we respect that.
Freedom to walk away
We don't gate happiness behind contracts. If you're here, we want it to be because you're all in—not because you're locked in.
