Our story
A kitchen built around a single fire.
Ember & Thyme began with a hand-built oven and a simple idea: that the oldest way of cooking is still the most generous. Every dish on our menu touches the flame — some for a moment, some for twelve slow hours.
We source from small farms across the Willamette Valley and the Oregon coast, and we change the menu with the seasons. Come hungry, order to share, and stay for one more glass.
