About The Position

Today, our culinary program is growing quickly, we are opening our third kitchen in Downtown Milwaukee! Additionally, everything we serve is crafted in-house by a team passionate about food, community, and connection. Guided by our philosophy, Project E.A.T.

As a Kitchen Team Member, you’ll work alongside a collaborative Culinary team that values high standards, creativity, and respect for one another. We move with purpose, take pride in our craft, and create remarkable experiences for every guest we serve. All team members at Stone Creek Coffee begin as an Apprentice.
