What are the responsibilities and job description for the Baker position at Mila Cafe?
About the role
We're a brand-new bakery-café opening in downtown New Haven, and we're looking for a Baker to help us build something special from day one.
This is a ground-floor opportunity. You won't be walking into someone else's system — you'll help shape how our kitchen runs, put your mark on every tray that comes out of the oven, and grow with us as we grow.
Schedule
- Full-time, Monday–Friday, 6:00 AM – 14:00
- Early mornings, yes — but your afternoons and evenings are yours
What you'll do
- Bake our daily selection of fresh pastries and baked goods from scratch
- Own the morning bake — managing prep, timing, and consistency
- Keep the kitchen clean, organized, and up to health-code standards
What we're looking for
- Real baking experience (Latin American / European pastry a big plus)
- Someone reliable who's comfortable with an early start
- Attention to detail and pride in the craft
- Food Handler certification a plus
- Barista experience a plus
Why join us
We're a small team building something we're proud of. You'll get an employee discount, food on shift, and real room to grow as the café takes off. If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.
To apply: Send us a short note about your experience and we'll be in touch.
