Blank Street is hiring a Barista in Edinburgh. This is a live vacancy listed on the company's own careers board at the time of publication.
About the role
The daily shape of the job is familiar to anyone who has worked coffee: open, calibrate, run the morning, hold accuracy through the rush, keep the station clean while the queue moves. What varies is the customer mix, and in Edinburgh that swings sharply between term-time locals and visitor traffic.
Blank Street operates small-format coffee shops with automated espresso equipment and a deliberately short menu so new staff can reach full speed quickly. Full duties, requirements and compensation are on the employer's posting, which we have not reproduced here.
Edinburgh's hospitality year has a distinctive rhythm, with a very heavy August and a quieter winter, and learning to work both extremes is a real professional advantage. Operators everywhere need staff who can hold standards when the shop is three deep and still find useful work on a slow Tuesday.
For students and career changers it is also one of the more practical footholds in the trade: predictable daytime hours, a compact city where most sites are reachable without a car, and a large enough hospitality sector to move on within. Browse the restaurant jobs board or our resources section.

Is this vacancy still open? It was live on the employer's board when we published and we confirmed the page loads. Vacancies close without notice, so the employer's link is the only reliable source of truth.
Is this suitable alongside study? Coffee retail hours are typically daytime and rota-based, which many students find workable, but the employer sets the availability requirements.
