Job Description

Pastry Cook- Part-Time - South Pasadena

We're a busy 7-day café and commissary in South Pasadena building out a modest, rotating pastry program shared between our two stores. You'll have the kitchen quiet to yourself in the early hours, pastry runs 5am–1pm, and you'll be the only person responsible for the program. We're not laminating croissants. We're making cookies, bars, cakes, loaves, and pudding cups, on a rotation that hits 4–5 items per shift.

Production is on a 4-day rotation across the week:

• Tuesday — Cookies & Pudding day: chocolate chip, ghraybeh, cardamom pistachio shortbread, banana pudding cups

• Wednesday — Bars day: lemon-lime bars, fudge brownies 

• Friday — Loaves & cakes: olive oil orange cake, walnut apricot loaf, cardamom banana bread, ashta pudding cups

• Saturday — Cakes + vegan/GF: olive oil chocolate cake (vegan), coffee cake, tahini date cookies (vegan/GF), coconut cardamom rice pudding cups (vegan/GF)

What we're looking for

• 2+ years pastry or bakery experience

• Comfort with batch baking, scaling recipes, and managing multiple items in one shift

• Clean, organized, and reliable-you'll often be alone in the kitchen and we need to trust your output

• Familiarity with Middle Eastern pastries (ghraybeh, ashta, sfouf, tahini-date) is a plus but not required. ALL RECIPES are provided. 

• Food handler's card (or willing to get one)

• Vegan / gluten-free baking experience is a plus

Why this job is good

• Clear scope — defined rotation, defined output

• Real ownership — you're the pastry program for both stores

• 4-day work week — Sun/Mon/Thu OFF every week

• Out by 1pm — your afternoons are yours

Details

• Pay: Up to $25/hr DOE

• Schedule: Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat, 5am–1pm

• Start date: ASAP

• Location: South Pasadena store
