About LoDe

LoDe Pies & Pastries is a luxury bakery founded by acclaimed Sydney chef Federico Zanellato of Lumi Dining. We bring a fine-dining mindset to baked goods, coffee and café service — with premium ingredients, creative twists and an almost obsessive attention to detail.

We’re looking for a Lead Barista who knows their way around an espresso machine, cares about the little things and genuinely enjoys making someone’s morning a little better.

But this isn’t a job where you’ll be glued to the coffee machine all day. No two days at LoDe are quite the same. One minute you might be pulling the perfect shot, the next you could be serving up one of our famous pies, helping a guest choose between pastries, keeping the cabinet looking beautiful or lending a hand wherever the team needs you.

If you are hunting for that barista role were you can have creative beverage direction and ensure the barista house stays stock and organised then please apply!

We’re looking for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a busy environment and understands that great hospitality is about the whole experience — not just what’s in the cup.

You’ll be working alongside a team that takes food, coffee and hospitality seriously, but doesn’t take itself too seriously. We care about quality, we notice the details and we like people who bring good energy to the room.

With five locations across Sydney — Surry Hills, Circular Quay, North Sydney, Chatswood and our flagship in Rozelle — there’s plenty happening at LoDe.

If you love coffee, enjoy being part of a team, aren’t afraid to get stuck in and like the idea of a job where you’re doing more than just making coffee, we’d love to hear from you.Key responsibilities
