Pastry Cook at Copperleaf Bakery

Baker: Pastry Production

Copperleaf Bakery — Harlem, NYC (near Columbia University)

Copperleaf is a new, chef-driven bakery opening in Harlem, rooted in the idea of reimagining beloved bakery classics through a cultural lens that reflects our neighborhood. We use European techniques as a foundation, but our flavors, ingredients, and stories are inspired by NYC and the community around us — creating something familiar yet new.

We’re building a collaborative team of pastry chefs with different levels of experience who are passionate about making products with clean aesthetics and layered flavors that tell stories.  You’ll be a part of a pastry program that feels both rooted in tradition and imaginative — where cultural expression meets precise technique.  We are looking for people who are excited about their craft and are looking to bring positive energy and thoughtful creativity to this team.

The ideal candidate is:

• Experienced with laminated doughs or deeply interested in mastering them
• Skilled with pastry creams, curds, and long-cooked fillings
• Comfortable with dough handling and shaping, with an eye for detail and texture
• Passionate about creating modern pastries that are thoughtfully garnished and that celebrate flavor and craft
• Excited to collaborate, learn, and bring fresh ideas to a new bakery environment

If you love the idea of working in a small, hands-on team where creativity, culture, and precision all have a seat at the table — we’d love to meet you.

There will be two shifts; 4am-12pm (bake) and 7am-3pm (production)

Requirements: 

• At least 1 year of professional bakery experience 
• Flexible morning schedule
• Flexible on holidays
• Can lift 50lbs

Compensation: $20-24
