Very disappointed. Toasted bagel and cream cheese.
Front staff didn't know what that meant; back staff came out as if working was too much for them and showed her how to enter the order.
Toasted means griddle with butter so its soggy and with cream cheese means in a plastic container half full.
Emissary team - I sent an email to you in the contact us. You can reach out to me that way - I can't respond to your response here.
Update: Emissary Team has not reached out. The staff are either intercepting emails before it goes to management or management doesn't care. Either way you lost my business.

I paid nearly $6 for a cup of tea, only to be disappointed by its poor quality. It was weak, lacked flavor, and definitely not worth the price.

I spent extra money to have vanilla and snickerdoodle syrup added to my latte and to my disappointment the latte had no flavor. It tasted as if they hadn’t put any syrup flavor in it at all. Also when I went to pick up my order the server didn’t bring me my drink nor did they even call out my name to alert me that it was ready. I didn’t want to just pick up a random drink and when I went to double check with the barista they just stared at me for 2 minutes then said “yeah”. I would definitely go to the other emissary location, but P st is a no go.

Servers were very nice but I didn’t get the sense they knew much about coffee. Very odd computer rules throughout, and loud music (often weird music), the combination of which forces you to work directly under blaring 80s/90s pop music, which is a strange vibe for 9am on a Tuesday. Good smoothie, though.

The service is hit or miss, skewing on miss the majority of the time. The service has been consistently getting worse. The music is too loud and often offensive. The food is ok but overpriced for what it is.

We held a meeting here and were very disappointed with the service. A male server came up from behind and yelled in one of our teammates' ears about laptop usage. When he repeated his unkind behavior, we called him out on it. He was unapologetic.

We had to leave in a hurry so I didn't check the receipt. I paid $37 for two Americano and a tiramisu (including 25% tip). Sucks to be cheated on a snowy DC evening :)

Ordered Latte. The coffee is okay-ish, blend beans instead of single-origin, medium to dark roast and not too much real coffee fruit flavor. However, it provides a nice space to hang out with friends!

I had the blandest avocado toast known to humankind for $17 and it felt like the servers were giving me attitude the whole time. The space itself was OK. I was planning to have lunch with my friend here and ordered the toast while waiting for her. As soon as she turned up, I paid my bill and we left to go eat somewhere else.
Waited 50 mins for a breakfast burrito. Misled multiple times it would be arriving shortly and server did not apologize for wait. Here around 2PM, not too busy. Sad!

Great atmosphere for getting work done, brick walls, good people and good vibes. That being said the food was average, we got breakfast burritos and it lacked in flavor, was basically eggs salt and avacado. Besides that great spot!

Abysmal service and the coffee is mid at best. Also Black patrons are “conveniently” not given the same level of service. The discrepancy was disgusting to witness and experience. Don’t waste your time here.

Emissary on P st a nice place to have lunch if you're in the area - nice patio and lovely brick walls. And the food is fresh. I have not tasted their coffee yet, but it looks like a really nice place to spend lunch.
