Somedays Artisan Bakery & Café — 560 Lexington Ave, New York, NY
Company
Somedays is a scratch bakery and café known for handcrafted Viennoiserie — laminated croissants, pastries, and fresh-baked goods made to a high standard every day. We're opening a brand-new location at 560 Lexington Ave and building the founding bakery team. It's a rare chance to get in at the ground floor of a new store and grow with us.
Position
We're hiring Assistant Bakers to support daily production under the Head Baker. You'll be hands-on with mixing, lamination, shaping, proofing, and baking — learning and executing the Somedays Standard on every batch. This is a great fit for someone with some kitchen or bakery experience who's serious about their craft and wants to develop in a professional scratch bakery.
Please note: A valid NYC Food Protection Certificate is required for this role.
What you'll do
- Assist with daily production of croissants, laminated doughs, pastries, and other baked goods following Somedays recipes and specs
- Mix, laminate, shape, proof, and bake to standard, maintaining consistency batch to batch
- Weigh and portion ingredients accurately; follow recipes and production sheets precisely
- Keep the bakery stocked and on schedule so the café opens ready every day
- Follow all food-safety and sanitation standards; keep stations, equipment, and storage clean and organized
- Label, date, and rotate product using FIFO
- Support the Head Baker and team during high-volume periods
What we're looking for
- NYC Food Protection Certificate required — must be held at time of hire or obtained before your first shift
- Some bakery, pastry, or professional kitchen experience preferred; lamination experience a plus (we'll train the right person)
- Genuine interest in scratch baking and craft — you take pride in doing it right
- Able to follow recipes and instructions precisely and repeat them consistently
- Strong attention to detail, cleanliness, and time management
- Reliable, punctual, and a team player
- Comfortable with early-morning shifts, weekends, and holidays
- Able to stand for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs; comfortable working near ovens and in a fast-paced environment
Why Somedays
- Founding team at a brand-new NYC location
- Learn laminated Viennoiserie in a true scratch bakery
- Room to grow as the store and company expand

Part of Somedays Bakery
Somedays Bakery was born from a simple belief — that the kind of bakery experience you'd find tucked into a corner in Paris, Lyon, or Barcelona belongs here too. From-scratch. Made on premise. Hand-laminated each morning.
