NOW BAKING – PRINCI BAKERY BARISTA- WHERE COFFEE MEETS BARTENDING!

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that celebrates coffee, it’s rich tradition, and a feeling of connection.  Continuing in our quest in 2016 we announced a partnership with Princi, a renowned boutique bakery and café founded by Rocco Princi in 1986. Known for its artisan breads created from traditional family recipes, Princi’s locations have become beloved experiences for customers across Milan and London.

Starbucks is now making Princi food items in centralized kitchens to be served across our Roastery and Princi Bakery locations.  These newly hired teams will continue to bring to life the Princi brand by creating handcrafted beverages paired with a classic a Italian food menu including pastries, cakes, fresh soups, salads and focaccia-style pizza as well as artisanal baked breads.

Princi Bakery is now hiring bartenders who have a passion for service and craft. We offer great benefits, and have day shifts available.
