Company description Allium Market opened over 2 years ago and has quickly grown into a beloved neighborhood destination for amazing food, incredible coffee, fabulous baked goods, delicious cheese, a vast selection of unique specialty pantry products from around the world, and warm, welcoming customer service. Part cafe, part bakery and lunch destination with fresh, simple, innovative offerings prepared to order daily, part cut- to order Cheese shop, and part Gourmet Market, Allium is truly unique! Our focus is on showcasing high quality, simple, flavor focussed ingredients in an unpretentious, cozy setting. Quickly becoming a destination for food and coffee lovers in the Boston area, we aim to give exemplary service and introduce a new approach to specialty foods by celebrating small producers near and far and helping our customers find new and exciting products to fall in love with. At the heart of it all we believe people should just eat good food and we aim to help them do so! Job description

Allium's baking team and pastry kitchen is looking to bring on a third team member to help with the excitement of the holiday season and all its glorious baking, as well as help our team while our Pastry Sous Chef takes maternity leave (!!).
