Where Fire
Meets Flavor
Ember & Oak is a specialty coffee experience rooted in tradition. We roast our beans over open flame, unlocking deep, smoky complexity you won't find anywhere else.
From Flame to Cup
Wood-fired roasting is an ancient art we have spent years refining. The result is coffee with a richness and character that modern gas roasters simply cannot replicate.
Source with Intention
We partner directly with small-holder farms in Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Colombia. Every lot is hand-selected for sweetness, clarity, and the potential to shine under flame.
Roast Over Open Fire
Our custom iron drum roaster is fueled by seasoned white oak and maple. The rolling flames create a gentle, uneven heat that caramelizes sugars slowly and adds a whisper of smoke.
Rest & Reveal
After roasting, beans rest in oak barrels for 48 hours. This pause lets flavors settle and deepen before we grind, brew, and serve them in your cup.
Find Your Table
Come in for the aroma, stay for the atmosphere. Our space is designed to feel like a modern cabin — warm wood, soft amber light, and the sound of crackling fire.
