    About Us Laced Bakes isn’t just a café — it’s a movement. We blend cannabis, culture, food, and community to create a one-of-a-kind experience. From infused treats to signature PotTails, we’re building a space that’s inclusive, high-energy, and rooted in creativity. As a Black, queer-owned business, we take pride in creating a space that feels good, looks good, and runs right — and that takes a strong, reliable team. Who We’re Looking For We’re hiring team members with hustle, discipline, and pride in their work. This is a hands-on role — not just serving customers, but keeping the entire space clean, organized, and running smoothly.
