Barista, Edda Coffee

Harbor Bay, the team behind INTRO – Cleveland’s most exciting new mixed-use project, which features nearly 300 new apartments, an acre of green space, and a lavish top-floor event venue directly across the street from the historic West Side Market – is excited to announce a brand-new hospitality operation.
Our roots are in Cleveland, but our aspirations are driven by our cosmopolitan experiences across the globe. Harbor Bay Hospitality will launch four independent concepts that aim to raise the bar and set new expectations in Cleveland’s hospitality scene.
Starting this adventure during a global pandemic has been no easy feat, but the opportunity exists here in town to innovate and improve experiences for both guests and team members. With a focus on dynamic, design-forward restaurants, and extreme attention to detail in food, beverage and service, every part of stepping into a HBH space will be memorable.
What are the four spaces? A trendy all-day café with a serious coffee program, a camping-inspired live fire sports bar, an upscale shared-plates lounge with a retractable roof, and a dramatic top floor event space with panoramic views.
All establishments are currently in search of talented, motivated team members to help grow the HBH family from the ground up. We will offer competitive pay rates, a slate of benefits for full-time employees, and a rewarding and enriching work environment that will be fast-paced and high volume.
Our plans can be summed up with three simple promises:
Really Good Stuff. Served Humbly. In Great Rooms.
