Experience: 1/2 Year
Hello! I’m Salma and I’m a new hire. Though my time here is short, my drink palette has immensely expanded. I enjoy my time learning the process of making drinks and trying them as well! Before, I couldn’t even tell the difference between an espresso and a black coffee, but now I can taste it! Through my newfound knowledge, my favorite drink has become the Matcha Latte with oat milk.

Hello! I’m Macarena and I’ve been working at Barclays for a year! Through this experience, I’ve found myself making friends with all my co-workers and bonding through our similar interests. Barclays has allowed me to build relationships as I work and learn about coffee and tea. My taste in coffee has boiled down to things that aren’t too sweet, which is why my favorite drink is the Hazelnut Latte with oat milk.
