About Us:
At Dilly Dally, we are more than a café. We are a neighborhood home base — a dependable, welcoming space where regulars gather to work, meet friends, bring their families for brunch, or stop in for an afternoon drink. We value consistency, warmth, and thoughtful hospitality. Our goal is simple: create a place people return to week after week because it feels like theirs.
We are currently seeking an experienced Barista to join our team as we continue to grow our all-day café model.
Job Description:
This is a part-time position offering $18/hour + tips, with flexible scheduling. We are looking for someone who takes pride in craft, operates with urgency during peak service, and contributes to a positive, team-first culture.

- Prepare high-quality espresso drinks with consistency and precision
- Execute a focused menu of simple cocktails, wine, and beer
- Provide attentive, efficient, and genuinely warm service
- Train and mentor newer baristas to ensure quality and consistency

- Maintain a clean, organized, and well-stocked bar and service area
- Contribute to the overall upkeep of the café, helping ensure the space feels refreshed, orderly, and welcoming throughout the day
Qualifications:
- Minimum 2 years of barista experience in a high-volume setting
- Valid Food Handler’s License (NYC)
- Strong espresso technique and understanding of extraction
- Comfort preparing basic cocktails and alcoholic beverages
