Emissary

Coffee shop · Dupont Circle

"This Dupont Circle coffee shop prides itself on channeling a bit of the Swedish fika vibe: Think exposed brick, cozy couches, and little seating nooks that invite you to linger for a while for that much-needed late-afternoon break. The coffee, made from Counter Culture beans, translates to a solid pour-over or espresso drink, making Emissary ideal for a caffeine bump. Sit back and hang out for a bit, or roll in on a weekend to catch stylish folk snapping pics of the delicious—and supremely photogenic—avocado toast, piled high with arugula and tomatoes." - Laura Ratliff
