## From a garage roaster to Mill Lane

Ember & Oak started in 2018 as a one-kilo roaster in a garage, sold at weekend farmers markets. The queue kept growing, so did the roasting schedule, and in 2021 we opened the doors on Mill Lane.

We still roast every batch ourselves - never more than twenty kilos at a time - so the coffee on your counter is days, not months, from the drum.

The kitchen bakes from scratch each morning: croissants laminated by hand, sourdough with a five-year-old starter, and a cardamom bun that regulars set alarms for.

Our space is built for lingering. Long oak tables, good light, and music that never gets in the way of a conversation.
