Our little roastery
Coffee worth slowing down for
We started Ember & Oak because Asheville deserved coffee roasted with real care, in a room that actually feels good to sit in. So we roast small, bake fresh, and treat every regular like a neighbor. Because they are.

Kind words
Asheville's morning ritual
“The best latte in town, no contest. You can taste that the beans were roasted days, not months, ago. The staff know my order and my dog's name. This is what a coffee shop should feel like.”
Maya R.
West Asheville
“I switched to their bean subscription and I'm never going back to grocery-store coffee. Always fresh, always a roast date on the bag. My morning cup is genuinely better now.”
Corey B.
Montford
“Took the latte-art class with friends and it was such a blast, plus we actually learned something. Warm, welcoming, zero pretension. The pastries are dangerous. Come hungry.”
Priya S.
Downtown
“Our Sunday-morning ritual. Great coffee, fresh croissants, and a room that just feels good to be in. The kids love the cocoa. It's the heart of the neighborhood, honestly.”
The Hollis family
North Asheville
“We use them for wholesale at our restaurant and our customers constantly ask where the coffee's from. Consistent, fresh, and they trained our whole team. A dream partner.”
Devon T.
River Arts District
“Booked their coffee cart for our wedding and it was the surprise hit of the day. Beautiful setup, incredible drinks, the nicest baristas. Guests are still talking about it.”
