    The brand

    An oven door you can recognize from across the street

    The mark is the oven arch with three racks of bread inside it. One shape that prints on a bag, stamps on a box and lights up over a door.

    A horizontal lockup for signs, a stacked one for packaging, the mark alone for small spaces, and a seal for stickers and boxes.

    About

    One oven, a long rise, an early start

    Ember Row is a bakehouse built around a single brick-lined deck oven. Dough rests overnight so the flavor has time to arrive, and the loaves go in dark, the way we like them.

    The menu stays short on purpose. A handful of breads, pastry that is laminated by hand, a few whole cakes, and coffee that holds its own next to all of it.
