Ember and Bean Roasting

First new coffee shop of 2025 and it did not disappoint. What a great way to start Sunday morning! Stopped in around 10am for a cup of warmth and homework time with my nephew. We randomly stumbled upon Ember and Bean Roasting one time while taking a new way home from Costco and so glad we did. We walked in and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome by the two ladies working. They were both very friendly and attentive. This spot is below an apartment complex and right off the metro transit bus stop. I learned they've been open for 3 months. I love all the windows and how bright it is with the natural light. There's tables, espresso bar, couches, and small play area for children. It's very cozy and suits all ages which is so nice. I noticed many folks working, reading, playing games, and best of all just enjoying one another's company. It was also very nice to chat with the ladies at the espresso bar. They made you feel like a valued customer versus just another number in the coffee shop. Coffee was excellent and they really take their time making them. Lots of fun ones. I had to stop myself from getting another cup... coffee lover here! I absolutely love the mugs the coffee was served in. After chatting with one of the ladies, I learned they are made by a MN lady in Ely, MN. Yup, I'll be ordering a few mugs for myself. This coffee shop is a little hidden gem in Oakdale and I suggest you check it out sometime. Lots of people were stopping in to get theirs to go. I absolutely loved the bonfire theme on the mugs. Can't wait to go back soon!

The venue is awesome! and the views are nice.Unfortunately, the food was really horrible, the coffee took a long time to make and the staff, when told that the food was not edible, ignore me.Won't be back

Great coffee, wonderful people creating drinks and community. Love the space and vibe. Really great location. Come on people!
