Hey coffee lovers and community builders!
As the aroma of our freshly air-roasted beans fills the crisp winter air, we’re thrilled to share something exciting with all of you: the launch of the Minnesota’s Best contest on February 16th! 💪☕️ For the past two years running, we've proudly clinched Gold for Best Coffeehouse and Best Coffee, elevating us as your go-to Minnesota Coffee Roaster and favorite hub for Coffee in Minnesota.
Located in charming Big Lake, Minnesota, Ember Coffee stands out among the myriad of Minnesota Cafes as a beacon of quality and community connection. We've taken on big names like Caribou Coffee and Dunn Bros to prove that even smaller, family-oriented cafes can make waves in the coffee world.
Winning these awards means more than just a shiny badge for us. It celebrates you—our growing fan base that's gone beyond 5000 orders and bolstered our role in local initiatives like Minnesota fundraisers. Your love has fueled our journey, helping us ignite a passion for extraordinary coffee experiences across the state. Our commitment remains steadfast in serving ethically sourced, small-batch roasted coffee that unites people, fostering genuine connections in our beloved Midwestern waft.
A Story Worth Sharing: The Name 'Ember'
Choosing a name that embodies what we stand for wasn't easy. Our initial idea was Spark Coffee, but destiny had other plans as it was already trademarked. So, back to the drawing board we went, seeking a name that truly captured our spirit and mission. That's when our little creative genius—our son Noah—sparked the idea of 'Ember.'
Why Ember? Well, even a lone ember can ignite a wildfire. It’s about making a difference and recognizing the value in small, seemingly insignificant things. To us, small is significant. Noah reminded us that with every tiny ember, positive change starts. This essence fuels everything we do—from brewing that perfect cup to nurturing our cherished community connections.
Why Does Voting Matter?
Participating in Minnesota’s Best is about honoring local businesses that strive to be the heartbeat of their communities. Your daily vote places us one step closer to achieving what matters most: community connection through quality coffee experiences. 🎉

With your unmatched support, we're striving again to make a positive impact, not just with our cups but through every meaningful exchange at Ember. We're grateful for each vote as it does more than keep us motivated; it legitimizes our efforts to grow authentically and foster deeper community ties.
Looking Ahead:
The last two titles have been exhilarating, and our hopes are high this year too. But gold, silver, or bronze, our true victory lies in the community we build, drink by drink, story by story. Every order you place helps fuel our dream of expansion, as we've been actively nurturing our wholesale business to reach more taste buds and warm more hearts.

Warmly, The Ember Coffee Family
