"Roro’s Oreo mascarpone ice cream tastes the way you always dreamed cookies and cream would when you were a kid (before decades of disappointing freezer-burnt pints taught you otherwise). It’s creamy, fluffy, a little salty, and packed with giant chunks of Oreos. This is the kind of exciting small-batch ice cream Miami needs more of. And it’s only $11 a pint. They don’t have a permanent home yet, so they’ve been popping up outside ofEmissaryorFaçadeon weekends. Checktheir sitefor flavors, scheduling, and a form to pre-order pints, because their supplies are limited. You can also sign up there for notifications so you never miss a new flavor drop." - Virginia Otazo
"Even though it’s from DC, Emissary feels at home in the Grove. Folks at the counter peck at their keyboards while puppies lounge on the warm brick sidewalk awaiting falling croissant flakes. Unlike them, you can have a full breakfast at this cafe and coffee bar. The food comes out fast, so you’ll likely get your granola parfait or cheesy egg sandwich before your laptop can power up. The rest of the menu is just what you want at a cafe like this: sandwiches, salads, eggy things, and pastries from Flour & Weirdoughs. They can pull a good espresso too." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Emissary is usually busy with folks at the counter pecking at keyboards and puppies lounging on the brick sidewalk awaiting falling croissant flakes. Unlike them, you can have a full breakfast at this cafe and coffee bar. The food comes out fast, so you’ll likely get your granola parfait or cheesy egg sandwich before your laptop can power up. The rest of the menu is just what you want at a cafe like this: yogurt, eggy things, and pastries. They pull a great espresso, and it's perfect if you're looking for a quick salad or sandwich loaded with Italian meats for lunch." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"“Hi, I’m Vanessa,” says the person who looks nothing like the Vanessa you’ve been messaging all week. A fun way to determine if you’re on a date with a scammer is by seeing how they react when the barista calls their name. By the fourth shoutout, you might have your answer. Luckily, you pay in advance at the counter here. So take your latte and breakfast sandwich to go and tell whatever-her-name-is something came up. But Emissary is there for you during great dates, too. You can sit side-by-side at the counter watching baristas draw hearts on lattes." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"The tables are all in a laptop-free zone (between 9:30am-2pm), but the entire counter at this Grove coffee shop is perfect for keyboard surfers. There’s plenty of space at the bar for a 16-inch Macbook, cappuccino, breakfast sandwich, and all of your unhinged sticky notes. You can just snack on a pastry here or have a full breakfast. The menu is just what you want at a cafe like this: sandwiches, salads, eggy things, and pastries from Flour & Weirdoughs. Plus, the food comes out fast, so you’ll likely get your granola parfait or cheesy egg sandwich before your laptop can power up." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
