Café Manager – Port Moody

Caffè Divano is looking for a full-time Café Manager to lead our Port Moody café and become part of our family-run business.

For over 20 years, Caffè Divano has been a community gathering place built on warmth, quality, and connection. We proudly serve handcrafted specialty coffee alongside fresh, scratch-baked goods from our sister bakery, Gabi & Jules Handmade Pies & Pastries. With locations in Port Moody and Coquitlam, we’re passionate about creating welcoming spaces where both customers and staff feel genuinely cared for.

We’re looking for a hands-on leader who brings positivity, accountability, and strong people skills — someone who loves hospitality, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and is excited to grow with a business that values kindness and community.

• A genuine passion for hospitality and creating exceptional customer experiences
• Proven ability to lead, motivate, and support a diverse team with empathy, professionalism, and respect
• Food preparation knowledge or kitchen experience

• Interest in a long-term leadership role with autonomy and growth opportunities

Nice to Have

What You’ll Do

As Café Manager, you’ll oversee the day-to-day operations of the Port Moody café, ensuring a consistently high standard of service, product quality, and team culture.

Why Join Caffè Divano?

At Caffè Divano, we believe cafés are about more than coffee — they’re about people, connection, and community. We care deeply about creating a workplace where staff feel supported, valued, and proud of what they do.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a well-loved neighbourhood café, work alongside a passionate team, and grow within a local family business that truly values hospitality.

If you’re an experienced leader who loves coffee, people, and community, we’d love to hear from you.
