Decent diner breakfast but don't expect exceptional flavours…read more Tried 2 different Bennie's , avocado tomato and fried chicken. The fried chicken was actually two chicken strips , not really crispy or any crunch but not bad. Hollandaise sauce was flavoured and generous amount. The potatoes were the best part , cooked just right for slightly crisp and soft. Ordered a latte which was about a 3/5 , not amazing coffee I would stick to their milkshakes after seeing a few being made. Staff was friendly and checked in often , would be a 5 for the restaurant but 3 star rating on food alone. It was fairly busy but we got seats at the bar right away . Might be a longer wait for larger groups.

My friend got the sirloin tips & eggs (scrambled) with hash that were so soft and undercooked they were like mashed potatoes she couldn't eat them, and 2 pancakes, the steak and pancakes were amazing. But the drinks were so expensive, the cheapest thing other than water was their hot tea and coffee that was $3.99. so we only got water.

Excellent cup of latte and cappuccino. Truly one of the BEST brisket baguette and just I've ever had. They neither compromised on the quality or quantity. Everything was so flavourful, even the fries! I LOVeD every bite! Hubby ordered the fisherman's benedict. And since he's an expert in seafood (it's his career), he wasn't the biggest fan of the albacore tataki or the biscuit. He loves bennys but more of the traditional english muffin. But that's OK, the stars i'm giving is based on my food, which was incredible! Thank you for a beautiful experience, you guys are awesome and we will be back! Hubby said he'll order the baguette for next time!

You can explore the property and it's beyond gorgeous. The staff were all so sweet and welcoming! The property is beautiful, dogs and children have a place to run around and play, they have a small green house store on property, and a little truck to buy coffee and beverages. All the food is locally sourced and organic. Everything tastes so darn fresh and delicious! Definitely worth a try.

If you leave them a review you can get a free order of mini pancakes so make sure to take advantage of that Also the interior is super dreamy, high ceilings, pretty wall detailing, greenery, and my favorite: punny quotes.

The servers were very nice and patient so no concerns there. The food was good but I found the waffle portion small for price. It is a quarter of a waffle and wish it had been half of one because it would complement the scoop of ice cream/toppings/spread. The biscoff and kit kat were so good! We also had an affogato (good), and biscoff milkshake. The milkshake was a bit small too given the price - was hoping for a larger cup of it the flavour was great though so again no notes needed. There is parking outside and one washroom.

I came back to Nemesis Coffee for a second visit. The first time I came here I had a great…read moreexperience, so I was excited to come back. This time it actually wasn't that busy. There were quite a few empty tables and the place felt pretty relaxed. I was doing a bit of work and ended up staying a little longer than the 90-minute table limit. One of the staff members came up to us and said, "Hey, you guys have been here longer than 90 minutes. You'll have to leave soon." I told him that was fine and asked if I could just finish my coffee. He said okay, but then about a minute later he came back with a to-go cup and said, "Here you go, you guys can leave now." Honestly, that caught me off guard. Especially since it wasn't busy and there were still plenty of open tables. During my first visit, Jimmy went above and beyond to make sure everything was great, and I don't think he would have handled it that way. The coffee is still great and I really like the space, but this experience definitely made me think twice about coming back.

My friend has always raved about Nemesis coffee and brought me back a box of their beautifully…read morepackaged Allan & Senel Campos La Toboba Jocotes beans for me to try. I was HOOKED. During my last trip to Surrey, I made sure to stop by and fill up on caffeine and pastries. This location looks like an Apple Store from the outside with a modern glass exterior and minimalistic interior. From what my friends have told me, this location is much larger than their Downtown Vancouver location. Upon entering, the first thing I saw was Nemesis' vibrant colored boxes nicely lined up on a table next to the window for purchase in addition to merch (shirts, mugs, etc.) featuring their simplistic upside down blue heart logo. They switch out the coffee varieties on a regular basis, and so make sure to check their site first if you are looking for a certain bean! After perusing the merch, I made my way to the line and was captivated by the fancy high-end pastries in the glass counter. The company that makes the pastries is called Dope and they had everything from cookies to croissants to cakes and crullers. Prices were reasonable and I paid under $20 USD for four pastries. They had unique flavors including: strawberry & pistachio danish, tiramisu croissant, churro cruller, iced cap cruller, apple hojicha fritter, ube donut, and more. Like the Nemesis packaging, the Dope pastry boxes were art pieces on their own and probably the prettiest to-go boxes I've ever seen; they are a bright vibrant blue with their signature smile and tongue character logo and metallic writing. They literally look like designer shoe boxes. Nemesis features two seasonal drinks at a time, but they don't offer any flavored drinks otherwise and so if you're looking for a basic vanilla latte, this is not the place. The two seasonal drinks they were featuring in February were the Beet Root Latte and the Black Sesame Corn Latte (no coffee in this one though). Personally, neither quite appealed to me and so I just ordered a basic OAT MILK LATTE sweetened with simple syrup (you could alternatively get it sweetened with honey). The espresso was smooth and the oat milk was nice and creamy. To share with my family, I also ordered the... - APPLE HOJICHA FRITTER ($4.75 CAN) - as someone who doesn't normally like donuts, this fritter was the best fritter I've ever had and definitely on the not-to-sweet side. It was crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and full of apple pieces, apple spiced compote, and cinnamon. The hojicha dusting was subtle but added a nice slight earthiness to the pastry. I liked this pastry so much, I ended up ordering another one later on! - The ICED CAP CRULLER ($4.75 CAN) - this cruller was also fantastic and full of espresso flavor. The espresso cream filling and the condensed milk glaze were delicious and tasted like I was eating a Vietnamese coffee. 10/10 would get this again! - BROWN BUTTER BANANA CAKE ($5.75 CAN) - this cake was super moist and had a beautiful piping of cinnamon espresso buttercream on top. I'd say this one was the least unique of the pastries I ordered, but was a solid slice of banana bread and the buttercream was smooth and light. - CHOCOLATE ORANGE SUISSE ($7.50 CAN) - this pastry was the most interesting texture-wise as it has a crispy exterior that reminded me of chowmein noodles, wrapped around a croissant. The candied orange was very distinct and could be tasted in both the chocolate orange filling and the outside. While the most expensive of the pastries (probably because of the extra labor it takes for this one), I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and would order this one again too. The seating areas and bathrooms are clean. Service is excellent- we got our orders within 10 minutes after ordering and they come by to give you water and silverware as needed. TLDR, Nemesis is 1000% worth the stop and I can't wait to be back whenever I am in Surrey next. Overall, 5/5 for coffee and pastries, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

My first time here was amazing but I went again for Sunday brunch and this experience was…read moredisappointing. They have 1 girl working behind the pastries counter and only 2 servers in a packed restaurant. The pastry girl greeted us but the servers were so flustered that I had to flag them down to tell them I had a reservation. My first time here I loved the girly decor but this time all I saw were dirty dishes on the table. The servers looked stressed and one girl even dropped a tray full of glasses. There was a long wait to order, get our food, and get our bill. My friend ordered the pork belly eggs benny and it was as delicious as last time. I ordered the truffled mushroom frittata and it was nothing special. It was mostly overcooked eggs with mushrooms and a slice of toast that tasted plain. I told the server it was my friend's birthday and I wanted something special for her. Last time I ordered creme brûlée and they put sparklers on it and "happy birthday" with icing sugar. This time their dessert options were all brunch items: tiramisu French toast, chocolate French toast, hot cakes. None of them sounded appealing and they brought out vanilla ice cream in a small bowl and presentation was pathetic. This place has gone downhill, will not be returning.

I love Australian cafe's. The food is great, and the…read moreatmosphere is chic. Ruex delivered both of these things. The food had a twist of creativity in both the taste and the look, satisfying your palette and your camera. And just like in Australia, their coffee was good but super tiny. Our favorite dish was the peaches and cream hotcakes. Very refreshing. It also had some cream cheese, so it was sweet and savory. Their chicken on their waffle was very nice as well, but their waffle was a savory waffle. Which took away the pleasant combo of sweet and savory. But still very good. I would just order more friend chicken next time. well cooked, crispy pork belly too mmm. Price was decent as portions were generous. Service was friendly, and the food took a moderate food amount of time. We went at 2pm to eat brunch, so hoping that it wouldn't take longer during more peak hours. Parking is a bit of a hassle as it's underground parking. A bit of a trek to come to the restaurant, but I think that's the norm now in greater Vancouver area. Sadly the norm is also paid parking with no validation. But I won't dock off points for the restaurant for that Their menu rotates, so I would love to come back and try something new.

It was clean and bright and we got a nice seat by the window. Our server was quick to say hello and take our drink order. I'm always impressed with the breadth of the menu here. I landed on the Seafood Yummy Hash, and hubby had the Big breakfast, again. Coffee and water came first, and we were both delighted at how good the coffee was. Most diner style restaurants have a very burnt tasting coffee but this was very smooth. Off to a good start! Food came out very quickly and looked amazing. Both dishes were beautifully plated, and the fruit on the big breakfast was not a typical canned special. Things took a turn at the first bite though. Taste 10/10, but our food was cold. Like cold, cold which was surprising given the restaurant was mostly empty, and it came out so quick. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and very obviously in-house made, but both of our potatoes were quite literally cold, with some of the baby potatoes being hard in the middle still. The sourdough was also stale, but not just stale in taste, it was almost like it had been toasted well in advance and then plated. The review on the big breakfast remains the same as last time. Sausage was amazing, but the bacon and the ham left something to be desired. The server took some time to return back to our table and check in on us. When she did I told her our food was cold. She just kind of made a face, said oooooh, apologized, and that was it. She also had to be reminded to refill our coffees a second time after asking. The last shock came with the bill. While the prices overall were reasonable for very large servings of food, two black coffees came to $11. I know we raved about them at the beginning of the review, but not sure they were $11 good. Really wanted to love it, but not sure it lived up to expectations this time.

The first time I went was on my birthday, January 22, 2025, with my son. I ordered the Blueberry Pancakes with House-Made Blueberry Compote, maple butter syrup, and fresh seasonal berries. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious -- I was in total blueberry heaven! My son had the Chicken & Waffles and couldn't stop eating. He even asked if we could come back the next day -- that says it all! I also had their Lavender Latte, and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Not many places make a good lavender latte, but Burnt Orange absolutely nailed it! We went back again on May 10, 2025, to celebrate both our mom's birthday and Mother's Day. It was the perfect place for a family brunch. I had the Savory Spinach & Feta Omelette with breakfast sausage, bell peppers, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, feta cheese, balsamic cherry tomatoes, green salad, and sourdough toast -- SOOOO GOOD!!! My sisters ordered the Eggs Benedict with Champagne Hollandaise (Classic Ham & Avocado with wilted spinach and crispy herb butter potatoes), and they cleaned their plates. The moms had the Smoked Salmon Benedict with cold-smoked salmon, avocado, spinach, capers, and dill, also served with crispy herb butter potatoes and perfectly poached eggs. We also enjoyed tea, coffee, and a few specialty drinks -- everything was wonderful. What are you waiting for? Make a reservation and see for yourself.
