What we're known for

Why people come back

Small details, done properly

Everything here is built around one idea: a café should feel like the best part of someone's morning.

Fresh, traceable ingredients

Produce collected from local growers most mornings, with the menu shifting when the season does.

Handcrafted drinks

Beans roasted in small batches on site and dialled in twice a day on our brass espresso bar.

Cosy, unhurried room

Warm oak, low light and velvet banquettes — built for long conversations and slow mornings.

Takeaway & pantry

Order ahead for pickup, or take home a sourdough loaf and a bag of this week's roast.

Our story

A joinery workshop that smells like bread

Oak & Ember started with one wood oven, a second-hand roaster and a stubborn belief that a neighbourhood deserves better coffee. The room still has the marks of the workshop it used to be.

  • The room

    A former joinery workshop, kept mostly as we found it: oak beams, brick and a wood-fired oven at the back.

  • The coffee

    House blend roasted weekly, plus one rotating filter so regulars always have something new to try.

  • The kitchen

    A short menu, cooked to order. Bread proves overnight; pastries go in the oven before the door opens.

Inside the room

A look around

Low light, oak counters and whatever came out of the oven this morning.
