  • Health-conscious where possible
  • With improved shelf life and transportability

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven pastry chef experience, ideally in high-volume, high-quality environments.

  • A balance of creativity and discipline — someone who loves innovation but also understands production realities.
  • A detail-oriented, organized professional with a passion for pastry.
  • Spanish fluency or conversational ability is a strong plus (Some of our team members are Spanish-speaking).

Why Join Cocola?

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonus.
  • Opportunity to shape both  classic and innovative pastries in a respected, growing Bay Area brand.
