Slow mornings, honest coffee.

We roast our own beans, bake everything from scratch before sunrise and cook with whatever the season brings. Pull up a chair and stay a while.

What we care about

Everything made properly, from bean to crumb

There are no shortcuts behind our counter. Just good ingredients, patient hands and the kind of care you can taste in the first sip.

  • Roasted down the hall

    We roast in small batches every week, so every cup you drink is days, not months, from the roaster.

  • Baked before sunrise

    Our bakers start at 5 am. Croissants, buns and loaves come out of the oven while the neighborhood is still asleep.

  • Cooked with the seasons

    Produce from farms within a hundred miles, free-range eggs and dairy from a family creamery. The menu changes when the harvest does.

Our story

A six-seat coffee bar that grew into the neighborhood's living room

Emberwood opened in 2016 in a converted bike shop, with one secondhand espresso machine, a tiny oven and a lot of early alarms.

Today we roast our own beans, laminate our own croissants and still know most of our regulars by name. Their dogs, too.

Kind words

Our regulars say it better than we can

  • The almond croissant is worth crossing town for, and the Emberwood Latte is the best five minutes of my morning.

    Priya S.Regular since 2019

  • Warm, unhurried and genuinely excellent coffee. It's where I take every friend who comes to visit.

    Marcus L.Weekend brunch regular

  • They know my order, my dog's name and exactly when I need a refill. It feels like the neighborhood's living room.
