Sugarmoo, the popular UAE-based dessert and cafe brand known for its Instagram-famous milkshakes, waffles, and indulgent treats, is expanding its team and looking for a Barista / Pastry Chef. This is a hybrid front-of-house and kitchen role, ideal for someone who loves coffee craft as much as dessert plating, and who wants to work for a brand with a strong social media presence and loyal fan base.

Role Overview

Sugarmoo is looking for someone comfortable moving between the espresso bar and the pastry section depending on the day’s needs. You’ll craft coffee and specialty beverages to Sugarmoo’s exact standards while also supporting the pastry team with dessert prep, plating, and presentation — from waffles and milkshakes to Sugarmoo’s signature indulgent creations. Attention to detail matters here: Sugarmoo’s product is as much about visual presentation as it is about taste, since much of its customer base discovers the brand through social media.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare espresso-based drinks, milkshakes, and specialty beverages to Sugarmoo’s recipe standards
• Assist with pastry and dessert prep, including waffles, cakes, and signature Sugarmoo creations
• Maintain consistent presentation and portioning across all beverage and dessert items
• Operate and maintain espresso machines, blenders, and kitchen equipment
• Keep the bar and pastry station clean, organized, and stocked throughout service
• Follow food safety, hygiene, and allergen-handling procedures at all times
• Interact with customers in a friendly, upbeat manner reflecting the Sugarmoo brand personality
• Support inventory checks and communicate stock needs to the shift supervisor

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience as a barista, pastry assistant, or dessert cafe crew member
• Solid understanding of espresso extraction, milk texturing, and beverage consistency
• An eye for presentation — Sugarmoo’s product needs to look as good as it tastes
• Ability to multitask between bar and kitchen duties during busy periods
• Friendly, energetic personality suited to a fast-paced, customer-facing brand
• Willingness to work café hours, including weekends and evenings
• Valid UAE work eligibility or transferable visa status

Why Join Sugarmoo

Sugarmoo has grown into one of the UAE’s most talked-about dessert brands, giving employees exposure to a high-energy, trend-driven food business. Team members get hands-on training on both the coffee and pastry side, a genuinely fun day-to-day working environment, and the chance to build skills across two disciplines that are always in demand in the UAE’s F&B scene.
