Super cute spot to get coffee , drinks, or a bite to eat. Good lattes that come with a small piece of chocolate if you stay in. Cozy spot to read or get work done. They also have free wifi .

I live in DuPont, and Emissary is my go to coffee shop . The food and drinks are amazing! The service is almost always slow on weekends, so have friends to talk to or work to do.

Sandra Rubinchik

Really adorable spot to catch up with a friend or get work done. So much beautiful natural light .

Adnan Manjal

Cozy place. The smashed avocado toast with fried eggs is delicious. The coffee is pretty decent. Friendly staff (minus the 15min wait at the table for a menu). Generally, like the place.

Yasaman Mahdian

Nice third wave cafe with good selection of beverages and little bites in the afternoon. Friendly staff . Cozy and delightful.

Cosy place to have your coffee near Dupont Circle.I like the inner space and the lot of options to choose the table to have your coffee .

Lenny Gallo

The food was excellent, but a bit pricey . Coffee was outstanding. Service was very friendly . Outdoor seating made for a great ambience.

Valentina Giménez

Best avocado toast in town ! Plus great coffee from Counter Culture , very cozy european style and friendly service . My favorite place in Dupont Circle!

Sophia H

Smashed avocado toast was da bomb! Espresso was truly excellent. Lox & brioche was bleh (the brioche was very subpar and ruined the taste of the lox and capers , IMO).

Lily Elsner

Juice cocktails , coffee , and inventive bites are incredible here. Perfect for dates, semi-professional meetings (think grad school), and cozy ambiance

Lacey Capps

Great lattes & light lunch fair . I ordered the market green salad & it was superb! Loaded w/ fresh local ingredients and prepared to order.

Brooke Harding

Cafe by day, bar by night. Wonderful place but WiFi is often spotty when there is a full house! To be expected :)

Sam Brooks

Great breakfast choices and tons of seating! Their iced lattes are delicious.

The avocado toast is the best I’ve ever had. Perfect for a small meal or a large snack .

Diana Brody

Lovely coffee shop . The staff is relaxed and kind, and the coffee is STELLAR.

Audrey Chou

Cozy cafe turned cocktail spot at night. Had a good old fashioned

Tyler

This costed $15. If made it home, really couldn’t be more than $2-3. In terms of, say, vegan options that are worth the money, I would look elsewhere.

Gonzalo

Delicious coffee . Small but very tasty breakfast menu . Very cozy .

Dani Waltersdorfer

Super cute ! Great atmosphere for tele-working. Also functions as a bar in the PM.

They brew Counter Culture beans. Mmm.

Go for the nitro coffee and a slice of toast with Maldon Salt and Nutella. Or wait until Sunday when creme brûlée french toast hits the menu. 100% worth it. - David DyTang
