New Café Opening – Port Melbourne Axil Coffee Roasters has been at the forefront of Australia's specialty coffee scene since 2011. From our original roastery in Hawthorn, we’ve expanded to some of Melbourne’s most iconic locations, and we’re proud to call 2022 World Barista Champion Anthony Douglas and Australian Barista Champion Jack Simpson part of the Axil family. We’re now launching a new specialty café in Port Melbourne, and we’re looking for a Café Manager who’s just as obsessed with coffee as we are—someone who can lead a team, build a community, and elevate the entire coffee experience. What We're Looking For This isn’t your average café gig. We’re searching for a hospitality-first leader—someone who understands the grind (literally and figuratively), gets excited about pressure profiling, and sees a café as both a sensory and social space.
