Barista / Cashier - The Producer Coffee Studio - Port Chester

The Producer Coffee Studio is a local coffee shop that believes in the harmony between caffeine and creativity- blending two of our passions into one place! Though different, music and coffee are all about one thing: the process. When making coffee, the blend of beans, roasts and grinds compose a good drink. In mixing music, the notes and harmony are important to make a good set. Both require balance, stability, and, well, good taste.
