Our story

Started with one table and a love of good eggs.

We opened Ember & Rye in 2019 with eight covers, a temperamental espresso machine, and a stubborn belief that breakfast deserves more care than it usually gets. Six years on, we've grown — but the philosophy hasn't.

Our eggs come from Hill Farm in Somerset, our bread is baked each morning by Hobbs House, and our coffee is roasted around the corner by Extract. Anouk leads the kitchen and treats every plate like she's serving a friend, because most days she is.

"We opened Ember & Rye because Bristol deserved a café that genuinely cared."
