Company
Somedays is a scratch bakery and café known for handcrafted Viennoiserie — laminated croissants, pastries, and fresh-baked goods made to a high standard every day. We're opening a brand-new location at 560 Lexington Ave and building the founding bakery team. It's a rare chance to get in at the ground floor of a new store and grow with us.

Position
We're hiring   Assistant Bakers   to support daily production under the Head Baker. You'll be hands-on with mixing, lamination, shaping, proofing, and baking — learning and executing the Somedays Standard on every batch. This is a great fit for someone with some kitchen or bakery experience who's serious about their craft and wants to develop in a professional scratch bakery.

Please note: A valid NYC Food Protection Certificate is required for this role.

What you'll do

  • Assist with daily production of croissants, laminated doughs, pastries, and other baked goods following Somedays recipes and specs
  • Mix, laminate, shape, proof, and bake to standard, maintaining consistency batch to batch
  • Weigh and portion ingredients accurately; follow recipes and production sheets precisely
  • Keep the bakery stocked and on schedule so the café opens ready every day
  • Follow all food-safety and sanitation standards; keep stations, equipment, and storage clean and organized
  • Label, date, and rotate product using FIFO
  • Support the Head Baker and team during high-volume periods

What we're looking for

  • NYC Food Protection Certificate required  — must be held at time of hire or obtained before your first shift
  • Some bakery, pastry, or professional kitchen experience preferred; lamination experience a plus (we'll train the right person)
  • Genuine interest in scratch baking and craft — you take pride in doing it right
  • Able to follow recipes and instructions precisely and repeat them consistently
  • Strong attention to detail, cleanliness, and time management
  • Reliable, punctual, and a team player
  • Comfortable with early-morning shifts, weekends, and holidays
  • Able to stand for long shifts and lift up to 50 lbs; comfortable working near ovens and in a fast-paced environment

Why Somedays

  • Founding team at a brand-new NYC location
  • Learn laminated Viennoiserie in a true scratch bakery
  • Room to grow as the store and company expand
