Fitzroy's neighbourhood roastery
Good coffee, warm company.
We roast small batches of directly traded beans in the back room, bake in the front, and pour every cup like it's for an old friend. Drop in, slow down, stay a while.

Our Story
From a tiny cart on Acorn Lane
Ember & Oak started in 2018 as a fold-out coffee cart under the old oak outside number 14. These days we've got a proper roastery, a long communal table, and the same stubborn belief: coffee tastes better when it's roasted close and poured with care.
"We wanted a room that smells like toast and sounds like laughter."

What we stand for
Small batch, big heart
Directly traded beans
We pay farmers well above market and visit our partners every harvest.
Roasted in-house
Every bean is roasted metres from where it's poured, never weeks ahead.
Baked fresh daily
Pastries from our own ovens each morning — whatever's left goes to OzHarvest.
Community first
Free cupping club, local art on the walls, and a bowl of water for every dog.
Kind words
Don't just take ours for it
"The magic here ruined every other coffee for me. No regrets."
Priya S. — regular since 2019
"Half my novel was written at their communal table. They never rushed me once."
Dan W. — writer in residence, self-appointed
"My kelpie gets greeted by name before I do. Fair enough, honestly."
Mel & Banjo — Saturday fixtures
