Our story

A table set close to the fire.

Ember & Oak began as a single hearth in a converted corner storefront, where our founders learned that the best meals are the ones cooked slowly and shared generously. Everything still passes over live oak before it reaches your plate.

We source from growers we know by name, press our own oils, and bake bread each morning before the doors open. The room is small on purpose: close tables, low light, and conversation that carries from one to the next.

Nearly three decades on, the fire has not gone out. New hands tend it now, but the recipe is the same: good ingredients, open flame, and time.
