"Great spot for a coffee and brunch! Cute vibes and good drinks. Definitely recommend their mocktail espresso martini (the chai flavor is excellent). We enjoyed our brunch specials- the sandwiches and pasta are always great."

"I had a cappuccino, it wasn’t very strong, but the flavor was nice. I ordered a Caesar salad, which was fresh, though I felt it could have used a bit more shaved Parmesan. What I absolutely loved was the vibe; so lively and full of energy!"

"A classic for a reason! This Dupont Circle favorite features a wide selection of tasty caffeinated beverages and American-style fare, served in a super spacious and cozy cafe with friendly staff. I’ve been to Emissary more times than I can count for morning coffee, mid-day coffee, and evening coffee — there are very few places I can find in the city that serve coffee and/or allow people to hang out and work / read / chill so late. I generally just get their coffee, but it’s all been great, whether you’re looking for an iced coffee or something espresso-based. The matcha isn’t my favorite but it’s still pretty solid, and I’ve only ever tried their fries (which are more like patatas bravas or larger chunks of potatoes vs. American-style fries) but they were super tasty."

"I have been to the other Emissary location many times but I finally stopped by this location for a work lunch. I had not eaten the lunch food at either location before and it was great. The menu was simple but tasty I got the farro salad and thought it was tasty, including the small pieces of toast included. I also like their coffee. It was fairly empty but started to fill up as lunch went on."

"What a cute little cafe! The coffee was delicious! I also got the tuna Sandwich that was the best one ive had. I forgot to take a photo because I tried it and didnt want to put it down"
