Our story

An old oak counter and an oven that never cools

Ember & Oak started with a second-hand deck oven and a counter made from a fallen oak on the edge of town. We wanted the kind of place where the barista knows your order and the bread is still warm when you get it home.

We roast in small batches each week, bake through the night, and keep the menu short so everything on it is something we're proud of.

  • Roasted weeklySmall batches, rested before they reach your cup.
  • Baked overnightSlow doughs, real butter, nothing from a packet.
  • Made for neighboursBring the dog, bring a book, stay a while.
