Barista

About the Company:

Brewser’s Coffee started as a handmade mobile espresso cart in Los Angeles, CA, where founder and CEO Kamryn Scott solely operated the cart. She first posted up and served coffee in front of USC for two semesters after graduating from the university in 2024. When the opportunity presented itself, Kamryn moved Brewser’s to the Sony Pictures Lot and served there (with her new team!) for four months while the lot’s primary coffee shop was being remodeled. Being at Sony Pictures opened a lot of doors for Brewser’s, most importantly, our new storefront at the Topanga Social in the Topanga Westfield Mall! Though even as Brewser’s scales, we always want to stay true to our core values — building community, creating opportunity, and promoting sustainability. 

What It Means to be a Brewser’s Barista:

Brewser’s has only become a powerful third space because of its incredible and welcoming baristas. 

We are looking for people who not only love (read: are obsessed with) coffee and matcha but equally care about connecting with the shop’s customers. As a barista, you set the vibe of the space. 

An ideal interaction with a customer would be personally engaging with them and bringing out your unique personality (no customer service robots!), then ensuring they walk away with a delicious drink. It is imperative we serve a good product, crafted with expertise and care, because a community can’t be built if there’s not a product worth coming back for!

What makes our baristas the best is their willingness to learn and passion for the craft of coffee. Even if you don't have years of experience, we believe the right attitude goes further than a long resumé. We invest in our team from day one through hands-on training and mentorship, so if you stay open to growing, the skills will follow.
