Cedar & Ember
Small-batch coffee, roasted by hand over a slow fire since 2014.
Shop Our RoastsCedar & Ember started with a secondhand cast-iron drum, a backyard fire, and a stubborn idea: that coffee should taste like the place and the people it came from. In 2014 we set up our first roaster in a drafty workshop off Mill Street and learned the rhythms of heat and airflow one scorched batch at a time.
Ten years on, we still roast every bag within a mile of where you're reading this. We buy green coffee from growers we've met in person, roast in batches small enough to taste as they go, and rest each one long enough to matter.

Our Coffees
Roasted in small batches,
rested with patience
Ember Roast
$19 · 12 oz whole bean
Our flagship dark roast — bittersweet cocoa, toasted walnut, and a long, smoky finish that stands up to cream and holds its own pulled as espresso.
Cedar Hollow
$18 · 12 oz whole bean
The coffee that started it all, and still the one we reach for first. Cedar Hollow is a medium roast built for the long, unhurried morning — balanced, forgiving, and endlessly drinkable. We marry washed beans from the highlands of Huila with a sun-dried natural lot from Ethiopia to land somewhere between comfort and curiosity, with notes of red apple, brown sugar, and a soft floral lift on the finish. It brews beautifully across every method we've tried: rich and syrupy pulled as espresso, clean and aromatic through a pour-over, round and mellow from a French press. This is the bag that lives on our own kitchen counters, the one we press into the hands of friends who swear they "don't really like coffee," and the one our regulars carry out two at a time. We roast it just to the edge of second crack and rest it a full four days before it ever reaches your cup.
Morning Fog
$20 · 12 oz whole bean
A bright, delicate light roast — jasmine, white peach, and a twist of lemon zest. Best as a slow pour-over that gives the florals room to open up.

Kind Words
What our regulars say
"I drive past three chain cafés to get here, and I'd do it again every single morning. Their Cedar Hollow quietly ruined drip coffee for me — in the best possible way."
Marisol Reyes
Regular since 2017
"We've poured Cedar & Ember at the restaurant for four years now. It's consistent, it's full of character, and the team genuinely cares where every bean comes from."
Daniel Okafor
Owner, The Larder
"I ordered a single bag online on a whim, and somehow I'm on a standing subscription now. The Morning Fog tastes like the first warm week of spring."
