Nemesis Coffee Gastown

I had the opportunity to stop in twice. My first experience was warm and welcoming. I had my usual cappucino that I very much enjoyed. I was also offered water with my espresso and a barista asked if I wanted a refill. It was a nice gesture. My second experience was pleasant overall but they were much busier. Upon attempting to sit I was told that there was a wait time to be seated. Perhaps that should be posted somewhere. I had a decaf espresso and a mortadella sandwich. I enjoyed them both. I wasnt attended to like I was my first go-around. Overall a positive experience and I personally love their logo. Its an upside down spade of sorts.

Fantastic atmosphere. Incredible food. Undefeatable service. One of my favourite coffee/lunch destinations in Vancouver. My most recent visit had me asking about the status of my coffee after finishing my sandwich. Within minutes, the staff came back and openly let me know my order was missed, apologized, and offered a to-go cup option. I declined the to-go order and said it’s not a problem at all and appreciate the transparency. They could have easily blamed a delay or said “3 more minutes” and had this go unnoticed — I know this from past experience working in the service industry. I found the transparency refreshing and exceptional customer service. My pour over came within 3 minutes along with another apology and the staff letting me know the cost of the coffee was removed from my bill. Turned just another Sunday coffee into a memorable service experience that I had to share. Thank you Nemesis team :) Peter

This is one of the best spots I’ve found in Canada. So good I came back twice! I had the bodega with bacon and then again with avocado, both incredible! I also had the blueberry cheesecake danish and the banana danish, both such great combinations. The coffee is top notch! I love that you order at the counter then sit, it’s adds to the casual, comfortable experience. If I weren’t heading home to Australia tomorrow I would be back again!

Excellent coffee shop with quick service and delicious food. My partner said the long black coffee was the best coffee he has had in Canada so far (we are on week 3 of our trip!). Highly recommend lovely atmospheric coffee shop. Update: We returned for the brunch and the food was just as excellent. We had the sausage/eggs and the hash. The best brunch we have had so far.
