We ask not what our people can do for Myrtrillo, but what Myrtillo can do for our people

Meet Costas
Kostas is a barista. He is one of the old timers at the shop. He has supported us through thick and thin.
"I had no experience before coming here. This is where I learned the job and what I have learned from Myrtillo I give back every day. Myrtillo gave me the opportunity to show what I can do. We are normal people, neither above nor below, we are equal to everyone."
Meet Magda
“I joined through an OAED program in 2016, with no service or kitchen experience. Myrtillo means a lot to me. It means love for work and love for people”
Meet Aris
“Myrtillo is where I feel at home”
