An open interview is a scheduled event where all interested applicants for open positions arrive within an allotted time, and are interviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. Positions may be offered on the spot, or if follow up information or interviews are needed, the management staff will coordinate with the applicant.
What you should bring to an Open Interview?
Open interviews are a great opportunity for applicants because they easily fit into busy schedules and cut out out the online application process. To make the best impression here are a few tips.
a. Arrive Early – At open interviews, a line may form as management meets with individuals. If you’re in a time crunch, we suggest arriving early to get ahead in line.
b. Bring a Copy (or two) of Your Resume – Because hiring managers do not have an application on hand, come with a few copies of your resume so we can see your previous experience.
c. Be yourself! – At Frothy Monkey, we want to get to know you, so be honest and clear about your goals and why you want to work for Frothy. We hope to match you to a position which plays to your skills and provides opportunities for growth. Take a deep breath – you’ve got this!
We can’t wait to meet you,
xoxo Frothy

We predict joyful brunch, refreshing coffee and cocktails, and intimate dinner dates in your future. Frothy is coming to Gay Street in Downtown Knoxville.
The anticipation is building – we know! It’s so exciting for us, too. You will be completely blown away when you see this Knoxville location. We have a few photo sneak peeks below for you, and hope it can satisfy your craving for frothy for a little while longer.
Hello, Knoxville! After a few years of spending time in Marble City, Frothy Monkey is working toward opening a Downtown Knoxville location of our all day cafe in the Kress Building on Gay St. in 2022. No firm date has been determined for opening, but we are currently applying for permits and working out a few final details before construction begins. There are many unknowns at this point, but we will post updates when we have them.

We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout for our 2022 Pride Latte Art Competition. This year was full of amazing talent – from true beginners to seasoned baristas! Sixteen competitors poured their way through five rounds to find this year’s champion, Lexi Jackson from Frothy Monkey 12South Nashville.
The competition began with eight pairs of competitors showing off their favorite freestyle art. Classic patterns like the heart, tulip, and rosetta came out to play! Criteria for judges included element contrast, creativity, difficulty of design, and overall execution.
(click to enlarge photos)
Remaining competitors advanced to the rainbow round – a Frothy classic for our Pride Throwdown! Baristas must create latte art on a milk base by incorporating colored food dye. One practice pour was allowed for all competitors to practice their rainbow techniques.
(click to enlarge photos)
Next, we pushed the envelope a bit more by challenging competitors to show off their skills with alternative milk from Planet Oat Cafe Creations. Their line of oat milk for baristas froths beautifully, and is so tasty!
After alternative milks, we were down to our final two competitors for the cortado round. Lexi Jackson from 12South Nashville Frothy Monkey and Joey Arlene from Sump Coffee were free to choose their design, but the size of the pour made this tricky!
The final judging revealed Lexi Jackson as our winner! We were happy to present our first and second place winners with sponsored gifts from La Marzocco, Created Co., Nash TN, Frothy Monkey Roasting Company, and Planet Oat. Lexi also took home our grand prize from Lightning 100 – two tickets to AmericanaFest 2022.
Sending a BIG ‘Thank You’ to our wonderful judges Brooke Wolfe (Elixr Coffee), Wes Cheatwood (Crema + Matryoshka), and Adrianna Flax (LGBT Chamber) for coming out to participate! We were so happy to see representation from the Nashville coffee community and the LGBT Chamber.
In a combination of proceeds from the Latte Art Throwdown ($160) and Pride Coffee Crawl ($96) we raised $256 for the Tennessee Equality Project. A matching donation of $96 from our friends at Oatly, brings this total to $352. Thank you to our competitors, guests, and friends of Frothy for making this donation possible. Special thanks to our friends at Matryoska for organizing this year’s Pride Coffee Crawl.

About Frothy Monkey Birmingham
Caretakers of the Space
We are so grateful to be a part of the Birmingham community. We recognize the familiarity many residents have with this storefront from its long run as The Urban Standard, so it was important to us to preserve certain design and structural elements. Our goal with this space, and all of Frothy’s cafes, is to preserve the character of the building while creating meaningful spaces and new experiences for the communities we serve.
“We were given the gift of this building with so much character.”, says Brittany Russler, Director of Hospitality at Frothy Monkey. “We have to recognize so many guests of the previous business, Urban Standard, know this space, and have wonderful memories here. There’s comfort in maintaining some familiar pieces of that history for local guests.”
Window Seating
New Cocktail Bar
Intentional + Inclusive
Frothy Monkey is intentional with the spaces that we create for our guests beyond paint and wallpaper. It matters where outlets are placed for remote work and where we have larger tables for family meals. It matters where you’re seated for a date night. It matters when guests visit Frothy Monkey and they know there is a place for them, no matter the reason.
In our all-day cafe, you’ll find a different level of service. We offer table service to everyone to connect with guests and provide the best possible experience. Whether you’re here for 10 minutes, or two hours – we’re here to make your day a little brighter.
The Patio
We’ve expanded seating options to include a new 1,400 sq ft semi-covered outdoor patio. It is perfect for happy hour, a sunny brunch, or romantic dinner. There are a multitude of seating options like the work bar, adirondack chairs for post-work hangouts and cozy corners for catching up. Outdoor heaters and fans will help manage changing seasons, too!
Stir Up Something Fun
We hope you notice another new addition to the space – our fun and funky bar! Located at the back of the main ‘lobby’ area, you’ll see a fun play on vintage themes with milk glass fixtures and multiple patterns and textures in the tile and wallpaper. We cannot wait to serve up your favorite libations, but we are still waiting for our liquor license. Stay up to date on the status of our license by following us on Instagram @frothymonkey.

While Nashville makes up its mind about what season it is, our employees are already celebrating Spring and Summer with new seasonal drinks! In February, Frothy Monkey Roasting Company hosted an in-house drink competition.
The seasonal drink competitions are a great opportunity to bring together employees and staff from all areas for drinks, good food, and of course great coffee.
Our seasonal drink release is coming soon, but we don’t want to spoil the surprise. While your anticipation is growing, check out some behind the scenes photos from this year’s competition.
We were proud to have great representation from the Nashville hospitality industry join us as judges. This year’s competition judges were Alex Wendkos (Owner, Dino’s Bar), Kelcee Summers (Co-Owner, Oil and Lumber ) and Matt Stanzel (Coutelier Nash, former Sous Chef at Josephine).
Left to right, Matt Stanzel, Alex Wendkos, and Kelcee Summers.
Starting with our Southside Chattanooga barista Nova, we saw a great blend of hot a cold drinks featuring ingredients like charcoal and pineapple.
Another Downtown Franklin representative, Margot Lucas, brought a dash of lavender with her iced latte.
A duo from The Nations and East Nashville cafes were up next. Samantha Locke + Kendall Hitchox brought a colorful and sparkly, caffeine-free option to the judges.
Representing our original location at 12South, William Theriot presented a bubbly fruit flavored cold brew cocktail.
Last but not least, Brendan Fellenz from Frothy Monkey Roasting Company presented a juicy and bright drink option.
The competition was close, but ultimately our judges chose three winning drinks for the Spring + Summer Seasonal Drink menu. We’re so grateful for our employees who shared the evening with us and used their talents to contribute to our guest’s Frothy experience.
