I've been attending Emissary x Pergamino (on 20th St) for nearly 6 years, including moves in and out of state. Across that time, and a range of baristas, the espresso, food, and atmosphere have remained excellent. It is a cozy space to work or meet, and the workers are always friendly. It's a great feature of the neighborhood.

Cute little coffee shop with plenty of seating and very friendly staff! Never got to try the food but the coffee was a little too sweet and milky, in my opinion.Other than that, it was a lovely little hole in the wall!

Enjoyed the coffee and the pastry. The server was nice! Just a little bit pricey for what I got.

What a great neighborhood coffee spot in DuPont Circle! I met someone for a business meeting here on a Thursday morning. There was more than enough seating inside and out and the servers were very kind. I watched them interact with the regulars by starting their drinks as soon as they walked in and asking about their families. The latte I ordered was delicious!

worst matcha latte i've ever had. maybe that's on me for coming here and ordering "the wrong thing," but damn. it was ready 2 seconds after i ordered. that should've been my first red flag. it had just a whisper of green in it, like milk that's about to puke. no matcha flavor at all. just straight up milk for $7. highway robbery basically.

I came to Emissary to have coffee with a friend on a Sunday morning and really enjoyed it! I ordered a vanilla latte and a chocolate croissant. Both were super tasty and went particularly well together. However, definitely not the cheapest latte and croissant of my life!We sat outside on the patio, which was lovely. There is also seating along the wall inside the coffee shop. There was only one person making coffee on a Sunday morning, so it took a while for our drinks to be ready. Overall a great vibe and tasty coffee!

Really great vibe and Columbian coffee (if I am not mistaken). Great people work there. I enjoyed my cappuccino at a rainy day. Definitely recommended.

Came here in the morning to grab some breakfast while I work. The place is very cute and I enjoyed the nice jazz music that was playing. I ordered an egg on brioche sandwich and a coffee. The salad was good and the egg on brioche tasted decent (added a little Cholula to give the sandwich a bit more flavor). The ladies working there were nice. I'm knocking off a star because the wifi didn't work while I was there. Otherwise it's a nice spot.
