Al Manakeesh is coming to the Twin Cities.
A Palestinian bakery and cafe. Manakeesh baked to order: fresh dough from a hot oven, topped simply with za'atar, olive oil and cheese, the way it has been made for generations. Sesame kaak and a full coffee bar. Halal-certified. Opening soon, and hiring the team who opens it.
A round of dough, baked to order in a hot oven and topped simply. In Palestine it is part of everyday life: shared with family in the morning, and with friends through the rest of the day.

“In Palestine, the morning starts with dough.”
Thirty-nine seconds, drawn in the world Al Manakeesh already paints itself in: a stone village at dawn, the oven, a dove with an olive sprig, and a boat with a keffiyeh sail that crosses all the way to a Minnesota lake.
Into a new morning.
Some things you carry with you. A recipe. The way bread is handled. The way someone is welcomed at the door. Al Manakeesh brings them to the Twin Cities.

A new Al Manakeesh means a new team, built from the first day. We are hiring for a halal-certified Palestinian bakery and cafe opening in the Twin Cities metro, the Minneapolis–St Paul area: Middle Eastern baking from a hot oven, beside a full coffee bar. Cashiers, baristas, bakers, prep cooks, shift leads and dishwashers start here. We are looking for warm, reliable people who care about doing things properly, from the oven to the counter. Experience helps, but it is not required for every role.
