Barista — Spread Café (Battersea)
Location: Battersea / Clapham
Hours: Full-time (flexible, early starts required)
Pay: Competitive, experience dependent


About Spread
Spread is a neighbourhood café built around exceptional coffee, good energy, and community. We take coffee seriously but not ourselves — we care deeply about quality, consistency, and creating a space people want to come back to every day.
We’re coffee-first, design-led, and independent. No corporate scripts, no egos — just great service, calm confidence, and strong standards.


The Role
We’re looking for a barista who:

  • Genuinely loves coffee and hospitality
  • Takes pride in doing things properly
  • Understands that consistency > showing off
  • Brings good vibes to the bar and the floor
    You’ll be part of a small, close-knit team where everyone pulls their weight and looks out for each other.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Preparing and serving high-quality coffee to a consistently high standard
  • Dialling in espresso and maintaining quality throughout service
  • Delivering warm, friendly, natural service — no forced chat, no deadpan energy
  • Opening and/or closing the café (depending on shift)
  • Keeping the bar, equipment, and service areas clean and organised
  • Supporting food service, clearing tables, and helping during busy periods
  • Working as part of the team to keep service smooth and stress-free

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous barista experience preferred (but not essential if you’re keen and fast-learning)
  • Solid understanding of espresso-based drinks and milk texturing
  • Calm under pressure — especially during busy mornings
  • Punctual, reliable, and organised
  • Friendly, switched-on, and emotionally intelligent
  • Comfortable with early starts (some shifts from ~6:00–6:30am)

Bonus Points (Not Essential)

  • Experience with specialty coffee
  • Interest in food, design, or creative projects
  • Someone who enjoys being part of a local neighbourhood scene

Why Work at Spread?

  • Independent café with real creative freedom
  • Supportive team, no shouting, no nonsense
  • High-quality equipment and ingredients
  • Opportunities to grow with the business as we expand
  • A workplace that actually cares about culture, not just output
