About Us 

Nestled in the heart of downtown Columbia, Sage brings the artistry of French pastry and handcrafted drinks to Missouri’s vibrant college town.

From delicate croissants to expertly crafted drinks, we honor authentic French techniques and exceptional ingredients. Our baristas, bakers, and pastry chefs bring care to everything we serve, making each visit worth savoring.

At Sage, we believe exceptional food and coffee begin with exceptional people. We're building a team of artisans who share our passion for quality, creativity, and hospitality. Together, we're bringing a taste of France to Columbia—one beautifully crafted pastry or coffee at a time.

Job Description

We’re looking for someone who cares deeply about quality, takes pride in their work, and wants to be part of something meaningful. Our kitchen is entirely scratch-made, and while experience is helpful, it’s not the only thing we’re looking for. If you show up ready to work hard, learn, and grow with us, that matters most.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparing dishes efficiently and consistently to meet our high standards for flavor, quality, and presentation
• Maintaining a clean, organized station that follows all health and safety guidelines
• Supporting a smooth and collaborative kitchen environment
• Pitching in wherever needed—it’s a team effort here

Qualifications

• A strong work ethic and a willingness to learn
• Attention to detail and care in execution
• A desire to grow your skills and be part of a team that values intentional hospitality
• Experience in a professional kitchen is a plus, but not required

Why Work With Us

At Sage, you’re not just filling a role—you’re helping create something special. As our café continues to grow, we’re building a team that’s thoughtful, passionate, and invested in the bigger picture. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet.
