Micro-roastery & café

Coffee worth slowing down for.

Small-batch beans roasted in-house, pastries baked before sunrise and a corner seat with your name on it. Welcome to Ember & Oak.

Our story

Started with one grinder and a stubborn love of good coffee

Ember & Oak opened in 2016 in a tiny former bakery with a second-hand roaster and a simple idea: coffee should taste as good as it smells.

Today we still buy direct from farms we've visited, roast every week in small batches and train every barista to dial in each shot by taste — not by habit.

  • Direct-trade, farm-traceable beans
  • Roasted weekly, never stale
  • Plant-based milks at no extra cost
  • Compostable cups & local delivery

Good to know

Questions, answered

Do you offer plant-based milks?

Always — oat, almond and soy at no extra charge. Our oat milk is a barista blend that steams beautifully.

Can I bring my laptop and work?

Of course. We have free Wi-Fi, plenty of outlets and a quiet back room. We just ask that you be mindful of peak weekend hours.

Do you have gluten-free or vegan options?

Yes — our banana bread, cookie of the day and several breakfast items are vegan, and we always keep a gluten-free pastry in the case.

Can I order ahead for pickup?

Send us your order via the form below or call the shop and we'll have it ready when you arrive.

Your table is waiting.

Drop in for a morning espresso, a long afternoon pour-over or a pastry to go. First coffee for new neighbours is on us.
