Kitchen Apprentice

Since 1993, Stone Creek Coffee has been a Milwaukee staple built on curiosity, craftsmanship, and remarkable care. In 2018, we opened our first hot kitchen with one goal: create food that feels elegant, intentional, and accessible, without sacrificing speed or hospitality.

Today, our culinary program is growing quickly, we are opening our third kitchen in Downtown Milwaukee! Additionally, everything we serve is crafted in-house by a team passionate about food, community, and connection. Guided by our philosophy, Project E.A.T. (Elegant, Accessible, Transparent), we believe cafe food can deliver the detail and care of a fine dining experience in a fast-paced environment.

As a Kitchen Team Member, you’ll work alongside a collaborative Culinary team that values high standards, creativity, and respect for one another. We move with purpose, take pride in our craft, and create remarkable experiences for every guest we serve.

All team members at Stone Creek Coffee begin as an Apprentice. Through our training program within the first six to eight weeks of employment a Kitchen Apprentice will become certified as a Kitchen Scholar. For individuals who join our teams with more kitchen knowledge and experience this may result in achieving that Scholar certification sooner.

As a certified B Corporation, our commitment to care extends beyond our kitchens, to our employees, customers, community, and environment. If you’re looking for a meaningful culinary career with a growing Milwaukee company, we’d love to meet you.
