Featured Roast: Ethiopia — Halo Hartume

1. Red Ember Roastery

📍 Hamilton, Ontario

Nestled in an airy red-brick loft in Hamilton’s historic industrial district, Red Ember Roastery was founded by two brothers who left behind tech careers to chase their obsession with single-origin coffee. Every bean they roast is transparently sourced and traceable—farmed sustainably, purchased ethically, and roasted with surgical precision.

Their cozy café is all reclaimed wood, warm Edison lighting, and jazz vinyl playing in the background. Come for the pour-over bar, stay for the cushioned window seats and friendly baristas who’ll remember your name by the second visit.
