About Laurel Bakery:
Laurel Bakery is part of Redwood Hospitality, the team behind Michelin-starred Oxalis, Place des Fêtes, and Café Mado. Our bakery blends artisanal tradition with modern creativity, serving a range of viennoiserie, seasonal pastries, and savory baked goods. We’re a neighborhood-facing production space that supports both retail and our broader hospitality group, with a commitment to quality, community, and care.

About the Role:
We’re seeking a skilled and motivated Pastry Prep team member with a well-rounded background in both sweet and savory pastry production . This is a great fit for someone with culinary or pastry training, prior professional kitchen experience, or strong self-taught skills, who is looking to work with a tight-knit team dedicated to excellence and growth.

This position is hands-on and collaborative, contributing to our daily viennoiserie and pastry prep while also supporting a variety of savory items such as laminated tarts, hand pies, quiches, and other seasonal savory bakes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prep and produce a range of baked goods, including sweet viennoiserie, seasonal pastries, and savory items (e.g., galettes, filled croissants, laminated savory pastries, quiches, etc.).

  • Scale, mix, shape, bake, and finish pastries with consistency and care.

  • Follow recipes accurately while working cleanly and efficiently.

  • Assist with both sweet and savory prep tasks according to the daily production schedule.

  • Work collaboratively with the pastry team to meet production goals.

  • Maintain a clean and organized work area, ensuring proper handling of equipment and ingredients.

  • Participate in the continued refinement of recipes and systems as needed.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Has some hands-on pastry or kitchen experience—culinary/pastry school, bakery/café work, or self-taught with proven skills.

  • Comfortable with both sweet and savory pastry prep, including lamination, custards, and savory fillings.

  • Has a strong sense of timing, attention to detail, and a clean, organized working style.

  • Enjoys learning and improving techniques in a fast-paced, high-standard environment.

  • Is reliable, communicative, and a team player.

  • Can lift 50+ lbs and stand for extended periods.

  • Interested in being part of a growing, thoughtful bakery team with opportunities for advancement.

What We Offer:

  • A chance to work in a bakery that values craft, seasonality, and collaboration.

  • Mentorship and guidance from a professional team committed to growth.

  • Exposure to a wide variety of techniques and ingredients, from viennoiserie to savory tart doughs and fillings.

  • A respectful and inclusive workplace where your contributions are recognized.

  • Opportunities to grow within the bakery or across Redwood Hospitality’s wider family of restaurants and cafes.

Laurel Bakery is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a team that reflects a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
