THEIR BFAST SANDWICH!!!!! Mortadella supreme 10/10 - favorite cheesy, savory, eggy perfection - croissant was also perfect flakiness - sauce is immaculate - TikTok did not lie about this one Bodega 8/10 - potato bread was thicccc, not rly my fav - okay sandwich, nothing too special in terms of flavor but it's solid - sandwich fell apart super fast, sauce was okay with this combo - still good tho Hojicha latte 6/10 - not much hojicha flavor, very milky - not rly sweet at all I wish I could've asked for more sugar Matcha latte 7/10 - matcha quality is meh - very milk forward as well - not rly sweet also but was okay in this drink versus the hojicha Overall, service was immaculate. 10/10 the cashier was so nice and was so patient. We got our food to go but we were waiting for our uber for a long time so we ate in the store. She noticed that and gave us napkins. I felt so bad we should've just ate there at that point but they didn't make us feel unwelcome at all. Our uber came after we ate everything :( the vibes inside this coffee shop is perfect for a cute lil coffee date or friendly catch up but def not a study/work here type of coffee shop. Would come back!! Maybe to try their coffees instead. That was my fault. read more

This place is definitely worth the hype! There's a line out the door but it moves pretty quickly. You order at the counter and they will seat you at a table. Everything that we had was delicious, drinks included. Food/drink review: Ube matcha: (4/5) Delicious flavor, it comes sweetened and has great balance. Iced matcha: (4/5) Pretty decent flavor, it's unsweetened but had good flavor with the syrup that was added. Breakfast sandwich: (5/5) OMG. It was delicious. The texture, the flavor, everything was perfect. The egg was cooked to perfection. Rice pudding cruffin: (4/5) Delicious texture, moist and flavorful in the inside. Pistachio: (5/5) Best pistachio pastry I've ever had. I could eat these all day. They are rich in flavor but delicious! read more

Went on a Saturday around 2:30pm and they had already run out of a lot of pastries so we just got drinks then came back the next day to try the food. There's a pretty good amount of seating here if you want to sit and chill for a bit but it was pretty busy when I was there. Service was also great and everyone was really nice Flat white: 4/5 this was my first time trying a flat white in general and it was too bitter for me but I liked it a lot after adding almost a whole sugar packet. I ended up trying this both hot and cold bc I ordered the wrong one on accident and liked the hot one more Pull apart bagel: 4/5 the flavor on this was good but I wish there was more cream cheese on the inside. The inside of the bread was nice and soft and the outside was a little crispy. Good overall but I usually prefer stuff like this warmed up Mortadella supreme: 5/5 def recommend getting this! They warmed it up and the croissant is super good, especially with the runny egg yolk Note: my boyfriend also liked the guava cheesecake he ordered but the drinks overall were a little smaller than I expected read more

Well, I'm almost done my circuit of all the Nemesis locations. Stopped by for an outing here. Not as many pastries as other locations but seems like they have proper meal items. Got their rice pudding cruffin and an iced hojicha. The hojicha was great and quite strong. The cruffin was very flaky. Got a taste of the orange chocolate croissant as well and likewise very flaky. A bit louder as the location isn't as big, but service was good overall. Gotta come back here to try their food items. read more

When you think of a perfect cup of coffee with the most delicious pastry, you're definitely thinking of your experience at Nemesis. I've traveled here twice. The first time was so good, that on my 4 hour layover in Vancouver the second time, I made it a point to come here. They make a damn good flat white. And it was consistent both times. I brought beans home that are wonderfully roasted (I'm out so I should take a 3rd trip to Van just to pick up more). And their pastries. OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. I kid you not. I was so blown away by the quality and flavor in each pastry. I thought it was a joke. I thought what I ordered was twice the price of what I paid and they gave me a discount. I've been to French bakeries that can't put this kind of quality in their goods. I had a blueberry pastry the first time I went (fire), and then a custard banana with lilikoi (passion fruit). Talk about sending me into another world. Look at my photos, JUST LOOK HOW PERFECT THEY ARE! They were so dense and delicious. I almost moved here for these alone. As extra as this review is, Nemesis puts extra love and care into what they serve. Come and taste something amazing. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came here for some pastries (no coffee was purchased). I thought the pastries were fine, nothing amazing but it was nice to try out the different flavors. I purchased the ferrero rocher one and the chocolate orange suisse. Both had a subtle flavor of orange and hazelnut so that was nice. read more

Had a chance to enjoy Nemesis Coffee while in town and let's say that all-in-all it's a very cute spot but it just didn't feel welcoming whatsoever. They have a few tables to enjoy your delicious pastries and bevvies outside and if you desire to sit inside you'll first wait in line, order, and then be ushered to a table. Once it was my turn to order it felt a bit awkward after I had shared it was my first time there. I ended up just settling for a double espresso and a blueberry pastry. The pastry itself was absolutely delicious and had me in awe so I knew the pistachio croissant for my fiance was going to be divine (and it traveled well). I waited for quite some time and it felt like I was simply forgotten. I tried to ask for the wifi password and that felt like I was asking for something beyond their means and my pastry and drink didn't come out till after I inquired about my order after waiting almost twenty minutes. It then took another ten minutes to receive. It was ok, not sure if I'd come back though but appreciate having the opportunity to go. read more

The line at Nemesis stretched out the door on a cold, rainy Saturday morning, but thankfully it moved quickly. My friend and I shared an avocado toast and a pistachio swirl croissant, along with an Americano and a latte. We were seated at a clean table already set with utensils and water, which was a nice touch. Our food arrived shortly after, the pistachio swirl croissant was perfectly crisp and fresh, with a light pistachio flavor. The avocado toast was one of the most beautiful and delicious we've ever had, topped with a butternut squash mousse and broccolini. Everything tasted so fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Don't be discouraged by the line, it's absolutely worth the wait! read more

I was looking for a coffee shop to do work before my flight and saw everyone on TikTok raving about this place. Unfortunately, they don't have wifi. I ordered a hojicha latte and the mortadella sandwich. Both tasted good, I liked the aoli they put on the sandwich. The bread they used was a flakey croissant. The hojicha was sweetened but it wasn't too sweet which was my favorite. Service wise you order at the front and they direct you where to sit. This is a full service cafe so they bring you the food and pick up after you so tip upfront. All in all it was a cute place for lunch. I don't know if I would come back because there's a lot of other coffee shops to check out in Vancouver. While the sandwich was good I didn't find myself obsessing over how great it was. I would recommend to friends but will skip out next time. read more

Nemesis Coffee - Mortadella sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

What a fantastic spot! I saw photos from this shop all the way in Texas and had to try it out! We got the Black Sesame Corn Latte and it was amazing! Savory with a great Sesame flavor. The Queen was a great version of a classic pastry. The Mortadella Sandwich was super delish with a great texture and bold flavor. There is a bit of a line but it is well worth it and the service is super friendly. Only in town a few days but already plotting a return trip! Highly recommended! read more

One of the best coffees and pastries ive had in a while!! The space here is wonderfully designed with lots of seating. I immediately loved it. After seeing so many videos of the breakfast sandwich, I had to order the mortadella supreme and an oat milk latte - it was SO good and unique and I loved the coffee too! Presentation was 10/10. When I ordered I had eyed the delicious pastries and went back for the banana danish. I am so glad I did because it was phenomenal! Maybe the best bite of my trip to Vancouver. read more

This place is amazing! Came here only wanting to have a snack but ended up eating 2 sandwiches instead and they were the two best breakfast style sandwiches I've ever had! Mortadella Supreme : the immaculately buttery croissant style bun surrounds a delicious but not to heavy warmed mortadella that envelopes an egg with a runny center. The Swiss cheese is the perfect complement and the mustard is an ideal addition or acid. This is heaven in a sandwich. Must order. It's not just for breakfast either. Bodega Sandi - Would have been my all time favourite if not for the previous sandwich. Very similar to the mortadella except it's a potato brioche and thousand island aioli. It really just boils down to my preference for croissants and I love the mustard in the other sandwich. And amazing second best ever for me. Pull apart bread was excellent with a savoury center The beet coffee style drink was surprising, unique and delicious. The pumpkin spice variant had an unwelcome element of hot spice in it that made drinking it uncomfortable. If you want your drink spicy then go for it. Otherwise it's a hard pass. Server was very friendly and helpful. Location was clean and nice. Great coffeehouse vibe. This place is a gem. read more

It was our very last morning in Vancouver and we wanted to try some of the "best" breakfast sandwiches in the city. The mortadella supreme has a ton of hype, so we had to give it a try and it does deserve the hype. The croissant is so nice and toasty while the sauce helps cut the richness of the cheese and egg yolk. The egg was also cooked perfectly and just came together so well with each component of the sandwich. It is rather expensive, but if I lived near a nemesis coffee I would get this sandwich regularly. read more

Not only does nemesis care about the quality of their coffee and pastries but if you choose to dine in they give you as good of service as a sit down restaurant which is very unusual for a coffee shop. I love that you can choose the espresso flavor profile you want. This place is clearly designed by people who care about coffee culture and know it well. I got the dirty chai and flat white which were both excellent. The chocolate almond croissant was also perfect ratio of filling which I sometimes find lacking at bakeries but they nailed it. read more

One cafe kept coming up when I was doing trip research, and that was Nemesis Coffee, more specifically their mortadella supreme ($12.50). I can see why it is so highly lauded, as the supreme croissant had an excellent integrity, with loads of flaky layers, whilst holding together mortadella, fried egg, and Swiss cheese. The mustard aioli helped to cut through the richness of all the cheese and buttery croissant too. As a Lafayette Bakery semi-regular, I found that the supreme at Nemesis felt more structurally sound but as a result, more crispy and overbaked rather than a softer, more traditional croissant. I did like the savory breakfast sandwich twist, as I generally see supremes in the sweet category. I noticed a lot of patrons also ordered their Green Hash ($18.50) but I ended up getting the Salmon Toast ($18.50) instead. I loved the pairing of whipped goat cheese with an orange olive tapenade-- it really highlighted the tang of both the citrus and goat cheese. I would have liked a bit more salmon on my toast, but overall it was a solid choice. I also tried the Blueberry Cheesecake Danish ($7.25), which was good but lacked something sharp in flavor to cut through the custard, like makrut lime from Radio Bakery's version. The jalapeno aged cheddar croissant ($8) was also serviceable, but I did find that the interior lacked the layers I was looking for in a laminated pastry and tasted a little gummy. I also ordered their Batch Brew ($4.50) and the coffee was fresh and had notes of honey and apples. Very impressed with the quality of their coffee! Overall, I would definitely recommend Nemesis' savory offerings over their sweet ones and I really like that they are strict with seating-- you will be asked to leave if you have already finished your food and there is another party waiting. read more

Nemesis Coffee was one of our first eats during our trip to Vancouver. They did not disappoint. Although they are known for their coffee, my caffeine-sensitive self opted for a matcha drink. Matcha Calamansi Soda (4.5/5) - This was a refreshing matcha ginger beer drink. I was slightly disappointed that the calamansi flavor wasn't very strong. Mortadella Supreme (5/5) - The tastiest breakfast sandwich made with mortadella, fried egg, a tasty sauce, and spiral croissant pieces. The saltiest of the mortadella was balanced by the buttery croissant and mustard aioli. Pistachio Croissant (4/5) - We wanted to try something sweet from their bakery display and the pistachio croissant stood out. The pistachio flavor wasn't pronounced, but the croissant was still enjoyable. read more

Nemesis is hands down one of my fav cafes in Vancouver. This was my first time visting the Gastown location though! I went on a Saturday morning/afternoon and there was a crowd but we were seated in about 25mins. The space is not as big as their GNW location but it's still good enough for a small group. I got their tiramisu croissant which is one of my fav, they don't skimp out on the filling and it's so decedant. Also got their chocolate croissant which was pretty good! For savoury I got their mortadella, no words to describe how good it is. For drinks, I tried their new coconut iced coffee because it sounded so unique and I love coffee. I should say I didn't like it as much as I hoped I would, it wasn't too bad but I didn't think the coffee and coconut flavours went too well together. Overall, Nemesis still ranks as one of my top cafes in Vancouver. read more

My goodness. This place was so good we came back for a second visit on a 3 day trip. Truly great pastries. The Mortadella Supreme and the Blueberry Cheesecake Danish were AMAZING. The Salmon toast was also just as good. I may sound repetitive but the coffee was also just as good! Generally coffee places have either good pastries or good coffee but this place really nailed both. I can't say I was especially impressed by anything because everything we tried blew our minds. Service is very friendly (they recommended the danish so I may owe him my life). The vibes are great. I'm not sure if this is a Canadian thing but we were given a seat after we ordered which I'm sure is to ensure fast turnover because the line to order was pretty long. read more

I told y'all I'd be back. The service was great and it was pretty quick. I got the mortadella sandwhich (and the last one). I'm disappointed because the two other people who wanted to try the sandwhich didn't get to because of the limit. This happened the last time I came as well. I didn't care for the be matcha latte but everyone else did. The coconut water espresso thing was so bomb. My boyfriend loved the mocha... The pastries we got was really good. The only complaint is that it's always cold and doesn't ask if we want it warmed up. The croffin was my favorite. Cute little coffee shop, but can get busy' read more

We were in Vancouver for vacation and this was one of the first places we went to for breakfast. There was a line but that's a good sign. Right? We ordered the Mortdella sandwich that came on a special croissant roll. Very good and tasted like a classier bologna, egg and cheese sando. Next the Bodega sandwich. Bacon, egg and cheese on a soft roll. We added bacon and avocado (of course!) and devoured it happily. I had an iced Americano that was excellent. And we ordered a couple chocolate chip cookies to go. We will be coming back again soon. 8/10 read more

Nemesis is probably one of my favorite cafés I've ever been to. The vibe, the food, the drink, everything just hits. I went on a Saturday morning and, no surprise, the line was out the door. Totally worth the wait though. I grabbed the blueberry cheese danish and oh my god, amazinggg. I feel like blueberry flavor usually gets lost or tastes kind of artificial, but here it was front and center. It came through the cream cheese filling in the best way. Tangy, sweet, creamy. Just everything you want in a pastry. The avocado toast was next level too. They topped it with za'atar and chickpeas and it all just worked. Earthy, crunchy, herby. The flavors came together in a really satisfying way that made it feel different from the average avo toast. And the ube matcha. So good. The matcha had that deep, rich green color that makes you feel like they know what they're doing. The ube didn't taste like fake syrup at all. It had this mellow, nutty flavor that balanced out the matcha perfectly. I'd fly back to Van from NYC just for this cafe. read more

Nemesis Cafe has absolutely stolen my heart (and my taste buds!). My partner and I find ourselves drawn back almost every other weekend, and for good reason.

I got a pour over coffee and lemon meringue croissant. Great coffee, great pastry. This place lives up to the online hype I read. Service, however, needs reorganization. They had one line for all orders and clearly a lot of people wanted to dine in. The guy who was running the register was also tending to tables. Which is why the wait was so long. They should have two different lines and/or keep employees to a specific role, not multiple different roles. read more

Nemesis had the best breakfast sandwich I've honestly ever had. The Mortadella was insane -- the croissant bun was buttery, flaky, and had that perfect light crunch without being too hard. The ham wasn't too salty, the cheese was creamy and melted perfectly... I'm seriously going to be dreaming about this sandwich. For coffee, I got an iced espresso shot. It came in a tiny cup, and I added oat milk and honey, but the shot itself was pulled so well. Super smooth, super tasty. Such a simple drink but it really hit the spot. Only thing is the outside of the building wasn't the cleanest, some trash around the entrance. Inside was clean, though. Service was just okay, nothing amazing. And you can't grab a table until after you order since it gets busy, but they do seat you once you're done ordering. Overall, the food and coffee totally make up for the little stuff. I'd definitely come back. read more

Nemesis Coffee feels like the kind of place you end up lingering longer than planned. The food is thoughtful without being pretentious, and everything feels carefully put together. The brunch dishes were well balanced and satisfying. The poached egg was perfectly done, creamy and rich, sitting on toasted bread with fresh greens that kept everything from feeling too heavy. The breakfast sandwich was simple but executed well, soft bun, flavorful filling, and just the right amount of sauce. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy. Coffee was excellent and smooth, the kind you actually want to sit with and enjoy instead of grabbing and leaving. The pastry was flaky, buttery, and not overly sweet, a perfect companion to the coffee. What really stood out was the atmosphere. Bright, calm, and inviting, it feels like a space made for slow mornings and easy conversations. Nemesis is a great choice if you want good coffee, well made food, and a place that lets you slow down for a moment. read more
