From a Spark of Passion

Ember & Mug began with a simple dream shared by our founders, Clara and Leo: to create a space where the ritual of coffee transcends the ordinary. Both lifelong enthusiasts, they spent years honing their craft, from sourcing the finest beans to mastering the perfect roast. Their journey was fueled by a deep love for the community and an unwavering belief in the power of a perfectly brewed cup to bring people together.

The name 'Ember & Mug' itself tells our story. 'Ember' symbolizes the transformative heat of our roastery, where raw beans are coaxed into aromatic perfection, echoing the warmth and energy we aim to cultivate. 'Mug' represents the welcoming vessel, the comfort of gathering, and the shared moments that unfold over coffee. It's a tribute to both the artistry of our craft and the heart of our community.
