We ate here each morning during our volleyball weekend. Great laid back atmosphere. Great food, coffee, and service! Martin was an excellent friendly server. Thank you for a warm, inviting experience to start our day!

Looks busy on the inside, but to me, not a bad place to work on things including my writing. So grateful to go there.

I love stopping in at Emissary for a latte and croissant during the week. It’s the perfect place to sit and get some work done when I need a change of atmosphere. They have plenty of seating space so I never have to worry about getting a spot! The staff is also always so kind - especially Paulo and Isabelle. Glad to have a spot like this one in the neighborhood - though I’m sad they have shorter hours for the winter. Eagerly waiting for it to warm up so I can sit here after work as well!

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.

The awful service it's not worth the hipster atmosphere and the nice coffee.
When you enter there's a sign to seat, but apparently you can order at the counter. The no organisation is out of this world. The servers take time. The service is extremely slow. It's so bad that I wonder if everyone is high...

Great location, small place with a hipster atmosphere of sorts. A couple of pastry options displayed on the counter, but they didnn't look fresh and are not cheap. The barista takes their time to decorate a coffee, eventually. But getting a leaf decorating my coffee foam cost me 30mins of waiting time, and the coffee got to the table cold. Which was a pity, because the coffee flavor was good. Place was busy but plenty of tables free, and plenty of staff serving the tables and behind the counter, so it's unclear why the waiting time is so long.

Amazing service! The chicken breakfast burrito that was recommended to me was insanely good, best choice for sure. Huge shoutout to our server Martín—super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back!

My favorite local spot for a coffee, meeting or just to relax. Consistently excellent food, drinks and vibes in a non-pretentious atmosphere. Try the lavender latte with oat milk. You'll thank me.

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.

This is a very quant comfortable place. There are three different seating areas inside, so the place is a lot larger than it looks from the street. There’s also outdoor seating. The food choices are good, albeit a little limited and pricey. Overall, it’s a very comfortable place with very friendly service. It’s a nice treat.

Discovered the Emissary by chance while looking for a breakfast place in DuPont. It’s a must if you like great coffee and exceptional pastries. I look forward to returning when they get their liquor license. The hidden bar in the back is a gem.

I had a great time at the place, the coffee was spectacular and the staff were very friendly. Miguel created a work of art in my cup, and it was just perfect. I will definitely be back again!
