EMISSARY

just like you, we ❤️ washington dc and we’re muddling our way through this thing with you! be safe and come say hi sometime, we can’t wait to see you again!

We’re an independent coffeehouse, bar, and cafe located in DC’s historic Dupont Cirlce neighborhood, and we believe in community, diversity, and equality. Our space is a place for people of all backgrounds and beliefs to unwind and connect over carefully-sourced and organic ingredients, amazing Counter Culture coffee, and local craft beer, wine, and brilliant cocktails.

We try to foster a little bit of the "fika" vibe- the Swedish notion taking a moment to have coffee, slow down, and contemplate on your own or to gather with friends, and savor the moment.

Our food and drink is inspired by our diverse staff and the places we’ve traveled. It's veg and vegan-friendly, but omnivores need not worry: we have a great selection of rich baked goods, artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and small plates. And we have a great happy hour, too!
