The Café Manager
XXXX Café
Collingwood, VIC
Dear Café Manager,
I am writing to apply for the barista position at XXXX Café. I love making good coffee for regulars, and I would welcome the chance to bring consistent coffee and friendly service to your team.
For the past year I have worked as a barista in a busy Fitzroy café, making espresso drinks through the morning rush, dialling in the grinder each day and keeping the machine and counter spotless. Before that I worked as a café all-rounder, which taught me to work quickly as part of a team, look after customers and help with opening and closing.
I am available for early mornings and weekends, and I would be glad to come in for a trial shift at a time that suits you. My resume is attached. Thank you for considering my application.
Kind regards,
Lucas Romano

How do I write a barista cover letter with no experience?
Lead with customer service and reliability, mention any café, hospitality or retail work, and any barista course you have done. Say you are keen to learn and offer to do a trial shift.
Should I mention latte art?
Yes, briefly, if you can do it. Most café owners care more about speed, consistency and cleanliness, so lead with those.
How long should a barista cover letter be?
Three short paragraphs is enough: why you want the job, your relevant experience, and your availability with an offer to do a trial.
