They asked about my previous work experience and if I could handle the company's work standards. It was a very straightforward interview, not asking any behavioral questions, but rather checking if I was comfortable with handling unhappy customers.

The interview process was a bit lengthy and involved numerous questions. It took place at the cafe, which was quite busy and noisy. The interviewer seemed to gauge suitability based on overall impression and past experiences. It was a standard interview format, long but manageable.

It was an easy and fast interview process, the pay was 9 an hour. The people were very friendly and I felt welcomed. I've been working there for 2 years and really like the job. I'm looking for new employment for personal reasons, but it's definitely a good beginner job.

It was a really nice interview experience. I got a call in the afternoon about my application and they wanted to move forward. The interviewer was super energetic and friendly even though she had to step away briefly to help in the back because they were really busy. She asked general questions, and it felt more like a chat than a stressful evaluation, which I liked. Then she introduced me to the team and gave me a free smoothie to celebrate. I’d suggest this place for a first job, but check out the specific location first to see if you like the vibe, since some locations have had issues.
