Floor Team

Floor Team Job Description

COPS is our coffee and doughnut shop concept, specializing in fresh, made-from-scratch mini doughnuts & specialty filter coffee. We believe that simplicity is the key and to do one thing and doing it well, or in our case two!

Historically, we catered largely to office spaces in the downtown core on a daily basis, large parties and events and so on, but with COVID-19, we have pivoted to include night time hours and have targeted hungry individuals during the day as well as in the evening.

Our plan is to expand COPS across the country and beyond. We truly believe our product and experience is something special and was born to be shared. We see COPS being a part of every celebration. From weddings, engagements, birthday parties and boring work meetings!

We launched our second permanent location in the east end and this year we opened our third permanent location: COPS Yorkdale.

Mission Statement: At COPS, we create art worth eating, in every form. Because we are destined to inspire the world around us.
