“The best cup on Pine Street — and the only roaster that still remembers your name.”

Roasting in Burlington since 2019
Why we built the place

A coffee shop that slows down on purpose.

Most mornings move too fast. The espresso is rushed, the cup is a to-go number, and nobody looks up. We wanted the opposite: beans roasted a few feet from where you sit, a bar you can lean on, and a barista with time to tell you what’s good today.

Roasted here, weekly

Our Loring roaster runs every Tuesday. Nothing on the shelf is older than a week off the cooling tray — you taste the difference by Thursday.

Farm-direct beans

We buy from four farms we’ve visited, pay above fair-trade, and print the producer’s name on every bag. Provenance isn’t a marketing word here.

Your table’s waiting

Big communal oak table, a few quiet two-tops by the window, and fast wifi that we actually mean. Stay as long as the cup lasts. Or longer.

The menu

What we’re pouring & baking today.

Prices are per cup for a 12oz unless noted. Oat, whole, and 2% milk are all on the house — no surcharge for the good stuff.

★ Signaturehouse favorite worth ordering Vvegan as listed

Espresso Bar Pulled to order

Ember Espresso$3.75

Our Oak & Ash house blend — Brazil Cerrado and Ethiopia Guji. Cocoa, dried cherry, a long caramel finish. Double shot.

Oak Cortado$4.50

Two shots, two ounces of steamed milk, no foam to hide behind. The way we drink it on the clock.

Maple Oat Latte$5.75

Espresso, Vermont maple from Bragg Farm two towns over, steamed oat milk. Sweetened by the state, not a syrup pump.

★ SignatureV
Cardamom Flat White$5.25

Ristretto shots, a crack of green cardamom in the steam, silk microfoam. Warming and a little unexpected.

Honey Americano$4.25

Long black lengthened with hot water and a thread of local wildflower honey stirred in while it’s hot.

Slow Bar Brewed by hand

Single-Origin Pour-Over$5.50

Whatever’s brightest off the roaster this week, ground to order and poured over a V60. Today: Ethiopia Guji — jasmine, peach, bergamot.

★ SignatureV
Batch Brew$3.25

Fresh pots of the house blend all day. Bottomless if you’re working from the big table. Free refills, honestly.

V
Cold Brew, 18-hour$4.75

Steeped overnight in cold water, cut to taste. Smooth, low-acid, deceptively strong. Served over one big cube.

V
Spiced Oak Chai$5.00

Masala chai steeped from whole spice, not a concentrate. Steamed milk, a dust of cinnamon. Add a shot for $1.

Hot Cocoa, 70%$4.50

Lake Champlain dark chocolate melted into steamed milk. For the one in your party who doesn’t drink coffee.

From the Kitchen Baked at 5am

Morning Bun$4.25

Laminated croissant dough rolled with orange zest and brown sugar, baked in a muffin tin until the edges caramelize. Gone by ten most days.

★ Signature
Sourdough Avocado Toast$9.50

Thick-cut house sourdough, smashed avocado, Maldon salt, chili crisp, a soft-boiled egg on request. On our own 3-day levain.

Maple Oat Cookie$3.50

Chewy middle, crisp edge, rolled oats and a drizzle of that same Bragg Farm maple. Travels well in a coat pocket.

V
Seasonal Galette$6.00

A single free-form pastry built on whatever the farmers’ market gave us. Right now: roasted pear and thyme with a rye crust.

Take Home Roasted this week

Oak & Ash House Blend$17 / 12oz

Our everyday roast. Balanced, forgiving on any brewer, good with milk or black. Whole bean or ground to your setup.

★ Signature
Ethiopia Guji — Single Origin$21 / 12oz

Washed, light-roasted, florals for days. The bag from the farm of Tariku Debela. Best as a pour-over.

Two 12oz bags a month, our pick, free pickup or $6 local delivery. Pause or cancel any time from the link in your email.

A note on allergens. Our kitchen handles wheat, dairy, eggs, tree nuts, and sesame daily, and we bake in a shared space — we can’t promise any item is fully free of traces. Oat, whole, and 2% milk are always available; tell your barista about an allergy and we’ll walk you through what’s safe that day.

A note from the roaster

I started roasting in my garage because the coffee I could buy here never tasted like the farms I’d visited. Too dark, too old, too far from the people who grew it.

So Ember & Oak is simple: buy green coffee from four farms I know by name, roast it light enough to taste where it came from, and sell it before it goes stale. If a batch isn’t right, it doesn’t hit the bar. That’s the whole philosophy.

— Mara EllisonFounder & Head Roaster
