Looks like the Emerald City Cafe opened in May of 1995.[1] It is possible it was open at another location though, before moving to the Trowbridge address, since the business was incorporated back in May of 1992.[2] But I could only find the cafe connected to 1050 Trowbridge, so I'm not sure. Would probably have to go through more local newspapers to confirm. Edit: But it doesn't look like Emerald City provided internet access when it first opened. An article from September of 1995 talks about how it's something the owner was working on.[3] Maybe your memory of going there in 1994 is off by a year?
