Our Team

Students inspiring change

We create a uniquely hands-on business experience not offered by similar on-campus enterprises. Everyone joins our team with the opportunity to make coffee, create community, and develop the business. We offer students leadership roles in operations, human resources, marketing, finance, sustainability, and more. All Meantime baristas balance work with being full-time UNC students.

It’s one of those places you worry you won’t find anywhere else." -Jack Wilson
