I love their bagels and spreads, especially the roasted red pepper spread. It's really delicious. Their sweets are amazing as well. The osmalieh is so unique and not very sweet, so it pairs really well with coffee. I also really like their cookies and most of their pastries. Their drinks can be hit or miss sometimes, but I usually order a latte and it's usually very good. The bakery has a lot of natural light, which makes it great for photos, and it's also very comfortable inside. The service is wonderful and the staff is always friendly. I definitely recommend coming and checking this place out!

With the hummus though, it is pure perfection! The place itself is not very large so you may need to wait for a seat but the brightness and space are lovely. A great addition to the Fraserhood.

It is a very cool trendy little spot with plenty of natural light and seating both outside and inside ...though the indoor seating is somewhat limited. They had a nice display of baked products...perhaps next time. The coffee was good...not overly bitter. I like the chill vibe and relaxed ambiance. It was a positive coffee experience.

There's 6 x 2-person tables inside along with maybe 4/5 outside as well. I managed to snag the last table for my friend and I but it definitely got less busy after 11am so keep this in mind if you're visiting. I tried the hibiscus lemonade and it was really good! I also appreciated that they had some samples of pastries to try which i imagine is because they just opened. The sample of the cheddar jalapeno scroll was delicious but not sure I would purchase it for close to its $8 price tag. The staff were really kind and i'd definitely come back to try some other drinks!

It is brightly lit with plenty of natural light,…read moretheir service is so friendly and the staff are patient (since it took us a bit of time to decide on our drink options), a fair amount of indoor and outdoor seating options, and there are many delicious baked goods and savoury food options. We ordered a plain croissant ($4.65), a hazelnut croissant ($6.10), and an apple pie croissant ($7.25). We also got an americano ($4.10) and a pumpkin spice latte. We loved the lamination and crispy crunchiness on all their croissants, and we liked that none of them were too sweet. Such a delightful spot! I want to return to try more pastries and savoury foods!

I also tried their Matcha Mango Yuzu Cruffin - there's a lot going on, but the mango yuzu cream inside was light and refreshing, and the actual pastry dough was aptly crispy and fluffy.

They need to improve order taking. Have another till open. My husband and I went to Nemesis because…read morewe love the food, and both the food and coffee are good. However, waiting 40 mins just to place an order is unacceptable, really unacceptable. Only one till was operating on a weekend morning? Really?? order-taking was slow as well, employ someone who knows to operate the machine and have someone at the front who knows how to communicate face to face and on the ball! Customers waiting outside were complaining, and we watched three separate parties leave because of the wait. We visit many coffee shops regularly and expect lineups at popular cafés, especially on weekends. Popular cafe should have adequate staffing and a proper ordering process that keeps the line moving. Many busy cafés in the city are a fraction of the size, yet handle their lineups much more efficiently. Nemesis management needs to review its staffing, training and proper workflow efficiency. They been in business for a while now and they can't see this issue? I would understand if they're new and trying to level out. As much as we enjoy the food, we won't be returning, time matters, and we can't justify a 40-minute wait to order. Remember it's a coffee place not a Michelin establishment. Thankfully, today was a nice sunny day.

Designed in classic - and classy - French cafe style, you know you're walking into something meaningful. You're first greeted by shelves of French products. Lots of olives.

We came for bread and pastries so we simply bought pain du jour apple and walnut, two danishes and a latte. (I personally think they should change it to French with cafe au lait. At least that's what I grew up with in Vancouver until the invasion of SB.) All were very good nut the made to order sandwiches at the next table were so presentable that I must try nextby

As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by shelves stocked with French jams and a variety of imported products for sale, which adds to the authentic feel. The menu is surprisingly extensive for a café, featuring quiches, sandwiches, and other items made fresh to order. We kept it simple and ordered lattes along with two Danish pastries. Everything was delicious, especially the pastries topped with fresh fruit. The vintage paintings on the walls and soft French music create a warm, relaxing atmosphere. This is easily one of the best French bakeries I've visited.

The food menu was interesting, but was all premade. For example, with the breakfast sandwiches you could not custom order.

The dalgona latte was a bit too sweet for me, but that is expected with dalgona. The pesto chicken panini was amazing and full of flavor. A great place for tasty food, creative drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Parking is available on the side streets. The place has that bare modern hipster look, with concrete floors, high ceilings, and white tiles. Tables are of the old vintage wood type. Metal chairs aren't the most comfortable, but they do the job. Seating is adequate. There is a hidden section with more seats tucked away in the far corner. Layout is a bit strange in this respect. Staff are friendly. No complaints. Coffee is pretty decent. The place also has brunch and sandwich options, but I didn't try this time.

There were lots of free spots available during the early afternoon mid-week (which is rare for most Vancouver cafes) and there's even a little nook in the back with a big table that's great for co working! We opted to sit in the front which was perfect because it had outlets and pretty good wifi. As for service, the staff were all super attentive and friendly so can't ask for anything else here! While the drinks we got were good, the food was a little lacking to me - I got the Margherita croissant which had no taste and was just an oily mess - but perhaps I just got the wrong thing. I'd try something else next time!

Unfortunately, the drink itself was quite disappointing. Since it's vegan, it was made with coconut cream instead of dairy, but the overall flavor was light and bland. The coconut foam didn't add much richness, and for a $9.50 drink, it felt underwhelming. It reminded me more of wheatgrass than matcha. I've had Whisk's matcha chocolate drink during hot chocolate festival before, and actually enjoyed them. Maybe will come again for their regular matcha drink.
