A few faces from behind the scenes
Meet the BEAR HQ Team
Not all heroes wear capes, or swing portafilters, smash avos or manage sites.
We've built a strong central team to support our stores and to build our brand. A team that work tirelessly to ensure that we are perfectly placed to take our customers on a journey with us. To ensure our store teams, (the superstars serving you coffee each and every day) are empowered to deliver the best service in the best environments with product that we can all be incredibly proud of.
No one person can be singled out, we all play a part in making BEAR the brand that it is. We're a team, we're in this together. #bemoreBEAR
