"The best avocado toast I’ve ever had! This was the perfect avo toast with a fried egg, tomatoes, picked onions and super fresh/flavorful avocado! The service was great and the cafe area was clean/easygoing"

"The empanadas were fantastic! They were a great size, tasted so fresh and the dough was 10/10. You can’t beat the price either- $4 for one which is a great value in comparison to other spots like Colada Shop. There’s limited seating available since it’s a small shop, and all the drinks they were making looked great too."

"Emissary is a good local coffee, lunch, and breakfast spot that has great coffee drinks and food options. They have a limited selection of baked goods as well My main complaint about this place is how expensive it is. One lunch dish and a coffee with tip was almost $35. I know we are in DuPont Circle, but the prices are absurd I had lunch there with a friend today and enjoyed the eggs and arepa dish with avocado. It was very tasty and I appreciate the Columbian flare their specials sometimes have A good place for a pricey lunch, look elsewhere for coffee"

"One of my most special breakfast’s ever! Visiting DC with my Wife Vicki and Granddaughter Madelyn on my 76th. I almost don’t want to review, but I must because everything, I mean everything, was so special in my life to be here, on this day. Emissary, if I ever return, it will be so meaningful. Tina sandwich, croissant, Nutella toast with fruit were wonderful and the Latte and Cappuccino were outstanding!"

"I had a lovely experience at Emissary Café. I tried the Morning Glow smoothie and it was absolutely fantastic—fresh, local, and honest, like it was made with care and great ingredients. The staff were incredibly kind and made me feel like a regular, even though it was my first time. I’ll definitely be back to try all the smoothies. This place has a good vibe that stays with you!"
