    Mango Sticky Rice Matcha
    Sofi D.

    I've been dying to try Emissary's mango sticky rice matcha since I first heard about it, and let me just say, wow! Because parking around Coconut Grove can be tricky (especially on weekends), it took me a couple drive by's to finally make it in, but it was so worth the wait. The matcha itself is one of the most balanced flavor-specific matchas I've found in Miami. So many places make unique matchas with syrups that tend to edge on being far too sweet, but Emissary gets it just right. The mango sticky rice notes shine without being sugary. It's incredibly delicious and has quickly become a constant craving for me. The ambience here is also a huge plus. The space is welcoming and has an inviting, community feel. Definitely elevated, but never snobby. The staff are always so sweet and genuinely kind, making every visit enjoyable. It is also a great pick to work from your computer if you're able to catch a seat at the bar, or anywhere else during laptop acceptable hours. I haven't had a chance to try their food yet, but I've only heard great things and can't wait to come back for a meal. I might even update my review once I do! For now, I absolutely recommend coming here and trying their mango sticky rice matcha, it's easily at the top of my list for matcha in Miami.

    Coconut Grove has so many cute spots to explore, and this place is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a healthy bite and some delicious coffee. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the kind and welcoming staff. I was a bit indecisive on what to order and noticed they offered butter latte, which really intrigued me since I had never tried it before. The kind employee offered me a complimentary one to try, which was such a thoughtful and rare gesture these days. I also ordered the avocado toast, which was simple, flavorful, and really hit the spot. If you're in the area and want a cozy spot with great service, tasty food, and awesome coffee, this place should be on your list!

    Emissary is a great coffee bar to grab a bite to eat and sit enjoy the atmosphere. The space is small but welcoming and cozy. The coffee is delicious and I was also very impressed by their all day menu, even though unfortunately some items were sold out. The only thing keeping me from leaving a higher review is the service. The woman who took our order was a not friendly and made us feel rushed. Besides that, Emissary was a perfect spot for an afternoon pick me up!

    Heirloom tomatoes, burrata, herbs. 100000/10

    Emissary Miami presents as an artsy local neighborhood coffee shop, but in reality the team behind Emissary brings to life so much more than just stunning lattes and earthy green matchas (both of which are fabulous). They also create unparalleled ambiance and curate some of the best meals I have had here in Miami. The fusion of fresh, local vegetables from the farmers market, fused with the crème de la crème of a certain imported cheese or wine makes for an unprecedented dining experience, if you're lucky enough to secure a ticket to one of their exclusive dinner parties. I still dream about the heirloom tomato burrata or the citrus supreme tuna fish covered in dill and other fresh herbs. Not to mention the flourless chocolate cake! I have to also mention the bakery case. I came here with my friend who was born and raised in France. We opted to split the sizable ham and cheese croissant. We both adored the elements of rosemary in the ham and the buttery flaky goodness of the croissant, paired with a perfectly appointed yet light layer of cheese. The croissant was flaky and crisp on the outside with a warm and soft interior swirl. Just out of this world! The croissant was served with a side salad covered in a light vinaigrette and several fresh herbs, including basil and mint, which just paired so well with everything. Service is unmatched. Everyone working here has a smile on their face and great energy! I encourage you to visit!

    Thanks to Eli, my first experience at Emissary was so memorable and welcoming. Immediately recognizing it was my first time by my indecision looking at the menu, Eli took it upon himself to bring me drinks to try and thoughtfully explained each one. The level of attention to notice a new customer vs a local is profound service you rarely experience. Coffee is both a passion and an art here. I can't recommend Emissary enough. Thank you Eli!

    I really enjoy my visits to this café. They have really nice coffee and the food is excellent. I love the avocado toast and the pastries from Flour and Weirdoughs are unmatched. Usually the service is good but when it's busy, it can be a little bit slow to get food and drinks. This place is getting super super popular and it's super packed especially on the weekends so that's the only one downside, but I definitely recommend visiting, probably better on weekdays when it's less busy

    Iced Matcha Latte with Tache Pistachio Milk

    Love this matcha! The matcha itself was not bitter/grassy but umami and you could actually taste the flavor unlike many other cafes. The pistachio milk was a perfect pairing and the ratio of matcha to milk was perfect.

    TL;DR - Great coffee and vibes; not ideal for remote workers looking to be productive; not an indoor, dog-friendly establishment. Miami needs more coffee shops (in general), and Emissary does an excellent job stepping up to the plate. I ordered a small drip coffee and the breakfast sandwich. My coffee (brewed with Counter Culture beans) was delicious and the sandwich wad LARGE which I greatly appreciated; however, I would've liked to see it come with a small side like potatoes or tomatoes since I paid $17 for the eggs on a brioche bun. Vibes and music are great and create wonderful atmosphere to catch up with friends on a slow morning. With that said, I was slightly unprepared for their no laptop rule from 8am-2pm because I arrived hoping to catch up on emails and get a little bit of work done. To that end, I do appreciate their intentional effort to encourage conversation/contemplation-- this just might not be the spot for you to crack open a few emails. Finally, I was disappointed to hear they don't allow dogs to stay inside with their owners-- they are only permitted to come inside while ordering. If you intend on being your four-legged friend to sit with you, this might not be the spot for you. Instead, consider checking out Navi!

    Great place saw this matcha mango on TikTok and had to come try this place out super good and the lime cake was super good ..highly recommend if you in the area lots of parking and amazing area to walk around ...staffs were great

    Iced cappuccino and iced coffee
    Diandra L.

    This place is SO cute!! I love walking in Coconut Grove, and a walk is even better with a nice coffee to go with it. Cue Emissary - this super nice coffee shop and cafe right off of Tigertail and Mary! I opted for an iced cappuccino with vanilla which was delicious. My friend opted for an iced coffee. While we did not dine there, I did spy that they offer Flour and Weirdoughs treats. Anyone who is a fan of F&W is definitely someone I am a fan of, too! Their coffee is also from some of my favorites - the folks at Counter Culture. You know a coffee shop knows what's up when they are brewing Counter Culture. I must return to try their breakfast , sandwiches, and salads as their menu looks quite tasty. It seems like a good place to co-work as well. Parking can be a bit tricky in this area - but there are usually spots down tigertail, as well as a garage in the same building on oak ave.

    I want to firstly share that I have been trying to come here each weekend and there's no parking. I am deeply disappointed with the place. The aesthetics are 10/10 great for photos and Instagram. But the coffee not so much. I got an iced cappuccino and it was tiny. I got the pistachio milk . You can't even taste the flavor . I am a big coffee fan and this spot was not it. I asked a Barista if this is the pistachio and she said yes. Without any further explanation. Overall not the best customer service. The almond croissant was good from Flour and Weirdoughs a local Miami bakery. I saw another yelp review where the Iced Cappuccino looked completely different. The place is tiny as well. Not really a cozy coffee shop. More of a high end feel. I am willing to give it another try. Maybe I need to order something else.

    Avocado Toast
    Cristina O.

    Love, love, love Emissary!!! So happy it opened right around the corner from my office. Not a fan of Sadelle's so this is my go-to. Very cool, laidback vibes, everyone who works there is super nice, always playing great music & full of the most adorable Grove puppies. Love their matcha lattes, pistachio croissants & their avocado toast! Everything is not only beautiful to look at but DELISH! Definitely stop in if you're in the area.

    Le jiffy
    Lauren N.

    Very cute coffee counter in the Grove! I love this concept! I love how light and airy it is in there. Perfect place to post up and get some work done and enjoy some coffee! I ordered an iced latte with pistachio milk! it was delicious high quality coffee. It came in a glass with a lot of ice, which kept the coffee nice and cold! For food i tried an item that debuted the day i was there, i cant find it on the menu now but I believe it was called le jiffy! It was a veggie sandwich and the ingredients tasted SO fresh. The ciabatta had such a nice flavor and the tomatoes, avocados, and arugula were dressed with EVOO and the perfect amount of salt and pepper. The plates were so cute I sat at the bar and enjoyed my food and coffee. Im going to be extra pickyyy and say the one downfall is the staff is not that friendly. I tried making conversation to a few of them and they didnt really want to talk to me LOL. Traditionally baristas are a little more talkative and upbeat. But i understand they may be stressed because they just opened. Anyways, I would definitely return!! This place is great.

We were going to just grab coffee, but the croissants looked good so we stayed to eat. My daughter had the pistachio croissant, my nephew had the Nutella croissant, and my sister the ham and cheese croissant. They were all delicious, and everyone scarfed them down. My sister ordered a brown sugar latte with oat milk, and I had a cortado, and both were perfect. My sister remarked that the coffee was perfect in terms of strength and sweetness which isn't always her experience at other places. Everyone we interacted with was friendly. The ambiance is nice as well. I like that they had a shelf of books you can take one from. I found a book I had actually been wanting, and I'm glad to know I have a place I could bring some books when I'm done reading them. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area!

As you're walking down the strip area you can pop in for a quick caffeine break or tea or Matcha. We tried one of their suggested coffees and it was super delicious. I shared mine with my friend.

They also have a couple of snacks such as croissants that you can munch on.

In a nutshell, I told Daniella to surprise me and she did with an incredibly smooth latte with great tasting espresso to boot. Had I know she was going to be here I would have skipped Starbucks altogether. Had a really nice time talking to her when the line sided down and came to find out that Pink Elephant moves around and also specializes in doing private events as well. They can work with anyone to accommodate any budgets which is cool. I for one really hope that she visits the People's Dock more often as the coffee was great. So if you ever happen to run in to the Pink Elephant while running around Town, stop in and say hello to Daniella or her sister and enjoy some great coffee! Wishing you all a wonderful day! Enjoy and Bon Appétit mes amis!
