A barista pouring latte art in morning sunlight

Coffee roasters & café · Seattle

Roasted in-house every Tuesday

Good coffee, slow mornings.

Single-origin coffee roasted ten feet from your table, fresh pastries from our neighbors, and big windows made for lingering.

Weekdays

6:30 am to 6 pm

Small batches, big flavor

Ember & Oak began as a weekend roasting hobby in a garage. Now our little roaster fills the café with the smell of coffee every Tuesday, and we still taste every batch before it goes on the shelf.

Roasted on site

Beans go from roaster to cup within two weeks.

Direct trade

We buy from farms we visit, at prices above fair trade.

Laptop friendly

Fast Wi-Fi and plenty of outlets on weekdays.
