If you go to Miami, make Emissary Cafe in Coconut Grove a priority. This was my first trip to Miami, and a friend from San Diego told me there was one place I absolutely had to visit....Emissary. They were right. The coffee was incredible, the food was perfection, and the staff were unbelievably kind and welcoming. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. It honestly felt like it had been grown in someone's backyard garden. I had the tuna salad with seven-minute eggs (amazing), and my son got the breakfast sandwich... which my husband claimed he didn't want until he took one bite and immediately wanted to come back before we flew home. On our second visit, they had sold out of the brioche bun for the sandwich and we were so disappointed but one of the staff members (owner, manager, or actual angel) overheard me talking to my husband and offered to make it on different bread. They went completely above and beyond, and the sandwich was still unbelievable. Amazing food, amazing coffee, and customer service that truly made us feel cared for. We'll be talking about Emissary long after this trip. read more

Quiet, stylish coffee spot in Coconut Grove with a very New York-style atmosphere. Perfect place to sit at the bar with your laptop, have a relaxed breakfast, or meet for a business coffee without feeling rushed. Service is fast, the healthy breakfast options look amazing, and the coffee is honestly 10/10. If you prefer a creamier coffee, go for the latte; if you like a stronger coffee taste, the cappuccino is perfect. Most importantly, the coffee is served at the right temperature -- not overheated like in many places. Beautiful interior design, cozy outdoor seating, and since it's not located directly on a busy road, it stays calm and quiet outside too. Definitely one of those spots that makes you want to stay longer. read more

Emissary feels like an elevated breakfast spot disguised as a café. The staff was extremely friendly genuinely interested in how we were doing and creating the perfect order for our party. The eggs were phenomenal, cooked in the best way possible. The croissant was fresh and when eggs were added, it was th e perfect nite. Pro-tip: ask for the iced 16 oz of the cappuccino read more

Honestly this place is like a zoo, but you can't blame a location for being too packed but keep that in mind, if you want a chill place to get coffee and food this is not it. It's SUPER expensive, I ordered a coffee, matcha and the salmon sandwich, 50 dollars and the coffee and matcha COMBINED was 6 ounces... yes, two drinks, combined was about 6 ounces with ICE in them... the sandwich was good so not much to note on that besides it was good. We definitely don't plan on coming back, also service was funky, I originally ordered it to go because no seats were available, a seat became available and so I let them know inside we were sitting outside and so they brought out our coffees, the food was ready and they never brought it out, then told me they called my name several times but I was outside and they were able to bring the coffee... read more

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. read more

Emissary - Mango Sticky Rice Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

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! read more

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! read more

Emissary - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

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! read more

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! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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. read more

Emissary - Iced cappuccino and iced coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Miami, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've heard great things of this new spot in the Grove so wanted to check it out for breakfast. On their menu online they have certain items until 12pm and others afterward so made it before 12 to try items on both menus. As I entered, I was not really greeted and the barista that took my order wasn't the friendliest so I tried for that not to ruin my experience. I ordered an iced latte along with the egg and cheese brioche breakfast sandwich and the egg scramble and toast. It was a busy weekend so I was lucky to find one spot to sit. The decor is really nice and modern yet minimalist. I received my coffee and it was delicious. They use counter culture coffee, which has great espresso. It took about 35 minutes to receive the food and it was given to me in to-go containers. I guess the barista thought I wanted the food to go? We unpacked the food and ate it there. The manager was really kind and apologetic for the delay. He gave us a chocolate chip cookie to try and another coffee. The breakfast was truly delicious. The eggs were perfectly cooked and great flavor. The brioche was soft and pillowy. The toast was crunchy and flavorful. Their butter and jam was also a really nice touch. The cookie was also really good. They use Flour & Weirdough pastries and bread and it's definitely great quality. Would definitely return to this spot and try some additional food and drink items. They have a nice menu with lots of options. read more

Great great coffee but it takes way too long. They should not be taking 20 mins to make a coffee. Sorry. This is just ridiculous. You can't tell customers 5 mins and have them wait 20 plus. Not worth the wait. It's good but the coffee ain't worth the wait. Won't be coming back read more

Emissary Cafe absolutely nails everything you want in a coffee shop. The coffee is consistently incredible--rich, smooth, and clearly made with real care and quality beans . But what really sets this place apart is the vibe. It somehow feels both elevated and totally relaxed at the same time--like a true neighborhood spot you want to hang out in for hours. The space is beautifully designed and has that perfect Coconut Grove energy: laid-back, stylish, and welcoming . The food is just as good as the coffee. Everything feels fresh and thoughtfully made, whether you're grabbing something quick or sitting down for a full breakfast . And the people working here? Genuinely some of the nicest you'll find anywhere. Friendly, warm, and clearly proud of what they're doing. This is one of those rare spots that gets every detail right. I find myself coming back again and again--and bringing everyone I know. read more

I used to try to find the best coffees in Miami but kind of gave up a few years ago because I don't find many great spots. But I was a pleasantly surprise on my way to a different place this morning when I saw Emissary (it's in the back parts of the Grove and has a small entrance so I almost missed it). Beautiful decor and filled with light, they have a nice diner bar you can sit at, or, if you're lucky, you can try to snag a seat at one of their tables. The coffee was good and they have an impressive food menu. I didn't have time to get food this trip but will have to go back for their prosciutto and egg breakfast croissant sandwich. read more

It's about time! I was finally able to make it to Emissary for a brunch meeting and it did not disappoint. Starting off w the matcha latte, what's not to love the frothy heart design. Best part it is the matcha is sugar free. I ordered the eggs w avocado and substituted for the trending Domaselo protein bread. The quality of ingredients is seriously authentically good! Visible by the color of the eggs and the maldon salt generously sprinkled over the eggs and avocado. Olive oil quality was also amazingly tasty. And ofcourse, being in the Grove the aesthetic and vibe is chic and cool perfectly blended with its surroundings. The owner was there and he was super nice too! Next time I'll try the baked goods. read more

I am always looking to try new coffee places and Emissary had popped up on my search a lot so I decided to give them a try for a solo date. I came on a weekday at around 11 AM and found that they were super packed. Seeing how full they were gave a good feeling. I ordered a iced matcha latte and their egg breakfast sandwich. The coffee shop has very serious bar vibes. I could easily see them serving drinks in the evening. I sat outside as they have some tables inside and outside. My food and drink were brought to my table quickly. The service was solid. The matcha was good. My breakfast sandwich looked amazing but fell flat in the taste department. It was very bland and did not really satisfy me. I will say though that the eggs were some of the fluffiest eggs I had ever tasted or seen in my life. Overall this coffee shop satisfied the aesthetics and vibes but not my stomach or foodie senses. read more

I'm honestly confused by some of the low reviews. I live in the Grove and come here 2-3 times a week. No other local coffee shop compares. The vibe strikes the perfect balance--calm and peaceful, yet still lively. The coffee drinks are consistently excellent (I always get a cortado), and the food is fresh, simple, and delicious. It's one of the few coffee spots that I sit down and enjoy coffee the way Europeans do. It's also a beautiful space--very aesthetically pleasing. Don't miss the chocolate croissant! read more

We stopped in for a quick to-go order and were pleasantly surprised. The iced cappuccinos were smooth and flavorful, and both croissants -- one chocolate and one savory rosemary with ham -- were fresh and delicious. The café itself is small, with just a counter and a few tables, but it was packed (standing room only), which gave us high hopes. It definitely lived up to the buzz. I'd happily recommend it and will be back again. read more

Great tasting coffee. Super nice people who work there. It's small but good vibes. Next time I'll try food, but the coffee is amazing!

Fantastic coffee and food with wonderful service and vibes. Would be my goto place the next time we visit Coconut Grove.

Love this new spot in the Grove! I stopped in after walking by after a Yoga class I had nearby. The vibe was amazing & the interior is so chic. I ordered an egg sandwich and it was so good, I am a big fan of Flour & Weirdoughs so I love that they use their brioche. It was light and full of flavor and enjoyed the salad it was paired with. I will definitely be stopping here again after yoga! read more

Coffee was gross and bitter. Oatmilk was the thin watery kind. The "homemade" mocha syrup was clumpy, which was an unwanted surprise. Also there was nowhere to sit so I couldn't have ordered food even if I wanted too. And the servers didn't seem to give a shit if you have a good experience. Way overpriced too. read more
