“The brown sugar oat latte has ruined every other coffee shop for me.”

I’m not sorry about it. Oak & Ember is just that good. I come in four mornings a week and the baristas know my name.

“Thursday roast mornings are something you have to experience in person.”

The shop smells incredible. The fresh-batch pour-over on roast day is in a completely different league from anything you’ll get elsewhere.

“We order ahead every single morning. It’s always ready when they say.”

The pickup flow is seamless. And the cheddar biscuit is worth the drive on its own. Our whole office runs on Oak & Ember.

Our Roasting Story

From the farm to your cup — every Thursday.

Every bag of Oak & Ember coffee starts as a conversation with the farmer. We source single-origin beans directly and roast them here every Thursday morning — so what’s in your cup was likely roasted less than a week ago.

Featured originColombia — Huila

Tasting notesCocoa · Citrus · Brown sugar
  • We log every roast batch by origin, processing method, and tasting profile — ask your barista what’s on the board today.
  • Our pastries come from local Nashville bakers. Ask us who made the scone you’re eating.
  • We rotate our house blend seasonally and feature a new single-origin at the counter each month.
