The coffee is pricey, almost $7 for a flat white, and inconsistent. I’ve had one great flat white from a female barista but few others have been mediocre.

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.

The restaurant itself is appealing but the workers have a sour attitude towards a specific demographic. The coffee tasted old and needs work. For those visiting the DC area, I would recommend going to a different mom and pop shop.

Very disappointed the stopped carrying Pergamino coffee. I’m not sure why they are continuing to advertise as if the collab continues when it doesn’t

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!

I just tried the Power Boost smoothie and it was life changing! So creamy and just enough sweetness. Very refreshing. Plus the server, Jose, was very polite and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Regular Fri morning visitor. This morning, Friday 27th June Emissary was not open at 7:35. Puzzling and disappointing.

I really want to love this little coffee shop. Great ambience, good drinks. But the internet is completely unreliable and has been for the last year! And since it’s under a house, you can’t even hotspot reliably.

The place is just average. Atmosphere, service, products are all okay - nothing to criticize but I feel this place is definitely overpriced. I ordered a cup of latte but they charge additional for milk (not specialty milk) and syrup (not adding more) so $8… Sandwich was about $20… I feel like with these price range, there are other (better) options in Dupont.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair friendly to enter and/or stay.
