Our Philosophy

Coffee as a Craft, Not a Commodity

Every bean we serve is sourced directly from small farms in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala. We roast in-house every Tuesday, so what's in your cup was roasted within the week.

Our baristas train for three months before their first solo shift. Precision, care, and consistency — that's the Ember & Oak standard.

Our Story

Built on Passion,
Brewed with Purpose

The Beginning

From a Garage Roaster to a Beloved Café

Founder Maya Chen started roasting coffee in her garage in 2017, selling bags to neighbours and at weekend farmers markets. By 2019, demand had grown enough to open the first Ember & Oak location.

The name comes from the two things Maya loves most — the warm ember glow of a wood fire, and the towering oak tree she planted with her father the year she started roasting. Both represent patience, warmth, and something that grows slowly but lasts.
