EMBER & OAK · PORTLAND, OREGON

Our Story

A little fire. A lot of intention.

FROM A GARAGE TO YOUR MORNING

The beginning.

Ember & Oak started with a 1kg sample roaster in a garage in 2019. Elias Thorne, a former chef, wanted to bridge the gap between the farm and the morning cup. Today, we roast on a 15kg Loring in the heart of SE Portland.

GOOD COFFEE STARTS WITH PEOPLE

Rooted at the source.

We believe great coffee starts at the source. We travel to origin, build long-term relationships with farmers, and pay well above Fair Trade minimums. Every bag we sell is a direct reflection of the hands that grew it.
