Company description

Founded in 1993, Small World Coffee is a woman-owned business deeply rooted in the Princeton community. We operate two bustling cafes, a dedicated Kitchen that creates the magic behind our menu, and a Wholesale Coffee Roasting Facility in Rocky Hill, NJ. For nearly 30 years, we’ve been a vibrant part of Princeton and beyond, serving high-quality coffee and building meaningful connections.

At Small World, we believe in fostering growth and supporting our team members from the ground up. We promote only from within, and many of our staff members have built rewarding careers here or used the skills they gained with us to open successful businesses of their own. We’re honored to have inspired Small World “alumni” ventures like The Bent Spoon in Princeton, Zoot Coffee in Maine, and Lion and the Owl in Oregon.

We're hiring Kitchen Staff and Front of House Baristas! Starting at $17/hour plus tips (an additional $9.50 - $11 per hour, depending on the season), you'll receive comprehensive training, with wage increases at key milestones—reaching $18/hour by six months. Our structured approach to training and transparent management style helps team members understand the business’s inner workings and make a real impact.

We also hold annual reviews, where everyone has a voice. During these reviews, team members assess themselves, their co-workers, and the company, creating a meaningful feedback loop that helps us all grow together.
