Join the 1888 Family

We're a neighborhood coffee shop in Hyde Park, Kansas City, looking for friendly, outgoing people who hustle, figure things out, and go above and beyond to take care of our customers.

You love talking to people. Regulars become friends. New faces feel welcome from the first hello.

⚡ Hustlers & problem-solvers

When it gets busy, you move. When something's off, you figure it out — you don't wait to be told.

🤝 Supportive & all-in

You go above and beyond for customers and teammates. Great attitude, strong work ethic.
