Hospitality from the Heart. Community at Our Core.
At Lillian’s Petite Market & Eatery, we believe hospitality is about far more than service — it’s about creating meaningful experiences, genuine connection, and a place where both guests and team members feel welcomed, valued, and inspired.
Located on Charleston’s historic Westside, Lillian’s is a neighborhood destination that blends a thoughtfully curated market, vibrant coffee shop, and seasonal eatery into one warm and inviting space. We celebrate local flavors, creative food and beverage programs, and the simple joy of gathering around good food, good people, and genuine hospitality.
Our mission is rooted in community. We proudly partner with local farmers, makers, artists, and small businesses, and we strive to create a space that feels both elevated and approachable — a place our neighbors return to again and again. Hospitality, curiosity, creativity, and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do.
At Lillian’s, we believe in building strong, versatile teams. Cross-training and collaboration are an important part of our culture, and we value team members who are excited to learn multiple areas of the business. Whether serving guests in the dining room, crafting coffee drinks as a barista, assisting with market operations, or supporting behind the bar, our team works together to create a seamless and memorable guest experience throughout the space.
We are looking for individuals who are hardworking, positive, hospitality-driven, and excited to grow within a collaborative environment. Open availability, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays, allows us to best support our guests and one another during the times our community gathers most.
