About Cocola

Cocola is a high-end pastry retailer and wholesaler based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For more than 25 years , we’ve delighted customers with exceptional pastries that blend European tradition and California creativity. Our portfolio ranges from classic favorites to innovative creations, and as we continue to grow, we’re building an  exceptional team  to shape the future of Cocola.

About the Role

We are seeking an  Executive Pastry Sous Chef  to oversee and elevate our production kitchen. This role is perfect for a talented, ambitious pastry chef who thrives on both artistry and efficiency. You’ll work alongside our Executive Chef to ensure outstanding quality across retail, wholesale, and online orders, while leading a production team toward excellence.

What You’ll Do

  • Manage daily pastry production with a focus on efficiency, consistency, and uncompromising quality.
  • Lead, train, and inspire the production team to deliver at the highest standards.
  • Maintain excellence in Cocola’s  signature pastries , while also driving innovation in areas such as :
  • Gluten-free
  • Vegan
  • Reduced-sugar options
  • Oversee production schedules, inventory, and cost controls.
  • Monitor product quality and continuously refine taste, texture, and presentation.
  • Experiment with new techniques and recipes to develop pastries that are :
  • Delicious and memorable
  • Modern in look and style
  • Health-conscious where possible
  • With improved shelf life and transportability

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven pastry chef experience, ideally in high-volume, high-quality environments.
  • Strong leadership and communication skills to manage and motivate a team.
  • A balance of creativity and discipline — someone who loves innovation but also understands production realities.
  • A detail-oriented, organized professional with a passion for pastry.
  • Spanish fluency or conversational ability is a strong plus  (Some of our team members are Spanish-speaking).

    • Why Join Cocola?

  • Competitive salary + performance-based bonus.
  • Opportunity to shape both  classic and innovative pastries  in a respected, growing Bay Area brand.
  • A chance to experiment, push boundaries, and see your creations come to life.
  • Collaborative, supportive team culture rooted in passion for excellence.

    • We look forward to welcoming you to the Cocola family!
