Pastry out by seven
Laminated dough goes in the oven at four, so the tray is still warm when the doors unlock.
About us
How OMBRA
Came to be
One cart, one grinder and a stubborn idea: that a good cup and a warm room can reset an entire day.
Milestones
From one cart
From one cart
to a corner room
2014
A cart on Wexler
Two of us, a hand grinder and a borrowed table outside the record shop on Saturday mornings.
2019
The corner opens
We took the old florist unit, kept the tile, added a long table, and started roasting our own lots.
2026
Still small on purpose
One room, one roaster, a dozen people who know your order. We have no plans to be anything else.
Why us
Coffee is the
Baked at dawn
Single origin
Open table
The numbers
Coffee is the
reason to pause
Everything on the board is chosen by the people who serve it, and nothing stays on it out of habit.
Beans with an address
We buy one lot at a time, name the farm on the board, and pour it until the bag runs out.
Room to stay a while
Wide benches, warm lamps and no clock on the wall. Sit for one cup or for the whole morning.

Questions
Hours, orders, the long table and where to park. If it is not here, the bar team will happily answer it in person.
Straight
answers
Yes. Send the order through the contact page before nine and we will have it bagged, labelled and waiting on the pickup shelf.
Plenty. Cocoa pressed with our own syrup, a rotating herbal steep, and a cold matcha that is popular all summer.
The laminated pastry is rolled and baked here each morning. Loaves come from a bakery six blocks away that we have used since the first year.
The long table seats ten and can be held for two hours. Ask at the bar or send us a note and we will pin your name to it.
We are on the corner of 214 Wexler Row, with the green awning. Street parking is free after six and the bike racks are right outside.
