    My first time here was amazing but I went again for Sunday brunch and this experience was disappointing. 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.

    Biscoff French toast
    Celina L.

    Service was great! Super friendly and funny waitress. Ambiance is amazing, one of my favourite reasons to come here it's such a vibe for a date or girls brunch! Food was pretty good. The biscoff French toast blew my mind!! I miss Australian brunch so much and ruex is where I can get that fix! Especially food presentation. Corn fritters were good. The chicken and waffles was OK. I think the waffle was alittle too .. thick, maybe mushy?? Otherwise really enjoyed my meal!

    Brekky burger
    Rebecca Q.

    Such unique brunch offerings and flavor combinations! Loved the chicken schnitty and waffles with fresh tomato sauce, the peaches and cream hotcakes were fluffy and sweet, and the brekky burger. The gingerbread latte and the s'mocha were the perfect amount of sweet. Service was a bit slow but good!

    Chicken supreme
    Thu P.

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and got the chicken supreme, a fried shrimp dish to share, and their Nutella brownie to share. The fried shrimp dish had the flavour, but the texture was abysmal. They were soggy messes.. With all that batter on the outside, they should be serving something crispy. The chicken supreme was a little better but half the chicken was very dry and overcooked, making it too hard for this soft mouth. The flavours on this were good too though and the potato rectangle was very good. The Nutella brownie was okay, but their scoop of ice cream is enough for a mouse. The strawberries aren't fresh, and overall the brownie was just okay. I would say the flavours are good here, but the execution isn't quite there yet. Service was okay as well. A little slow but the restaurant is big and it's hard to keep an eye on everyone. Ambiance is nice, but a little dark.

    Was here on a Sunday at 1130, the restaurant was at 40% capacity full. Service was quick, ordered the Tostadas Eggs Benedict which is slow cooked zucchini and eggplant, poached egg and roasted red pepper hollandaise on english muffin. served with pave potato. The flavour of the main dish was very reminiscent of faint mexican tastes and the guacamole and chip felt like a bonus rather then a feature. The pave potato needs ketchup/sauce or it tastes too bland. At the price of $22, I think the restaurant is a place to go for convenience of location and aesthetics. This dish should not be chosen if you want strong flabours. Aesthetics 5/5, Service 2/5 (had to flag server multiple times for Ketchup, and taste of the dish ordered (2/5). Hence the average score is 3/5.

    Ordered pork belly Egg Benny! I love their pave potato!! Sooo crispy and buttery. Their coffee are good too!

    Greeted right away by server, as they were quite full and with no rsv there was nothing quickly available other than bar seating which we took. We were given water fairly quickly and took our drink order but again as they were super busy getting our drink served to a bit of time. They had a large party and their tables were all full. Again took a bit of time before we were able to order our food and even longer to get it. (This in no way is complaint just stating fact as we understand that with a full house things aren't going to be fast or normal though I think more communication to customers on this goes a long way) The chicken schnitty and waffles wasn't exactly what I expected but I never clarified with the servers what if was so that was my bad. The taste was nice, albeit a bit different than the usual but was nice and filling. The tomatoes sauce was perfectly acidic and the waffles were soft and fluffy. Decently tasty and hearty, would I order again? No but that's cuz I think what I have in my head for chicken and waffles doesn't involve tomatoes. Again it was tasty. Wife's biscoff french toast looked beautiful and was quite crispy on the exterior. There is quite a nice crunch to it. I did find the bread to be bit dense but to hold the filling inside I guess it needs to be. This is def a very filling dish, sweet and luxurious. Please give it a try. Over all other than the longer than usual wait in service terms it was a pleasant dining experience.

    This spot is absolutely beautiful with aesthetic touches. Has a great menu full of unique eats. Absolutely loved the pork belly benny! Got a latte too! was decent. Only downside, service was SLOW. The girls were very friendly, but everything took quite long. When we got our coffees, we could tell they had been sitting at the bar for a while. Would defs come back for their brunch though!

    Anyone out there ever enjoy a Biscoff cookie? We did, purely by coincidence, on our flight here (or did that turn out to be foreshadowing? ). Well however you choose to look at, we gained a whole new perspective of (and appreciation for) an old friend thanks to Ruex Cafe and Bar. We found their "Biscoff French Toast" to be a revelation in the breakfast genre. We struggled to properly categorize this as "breakfast" when it sure seemed to simultaneously resemble "dessert." I mean, when trying to compare the flavors it encompasses, references to both an "apple fritter" and "Crème brûlée" were mentioned. All I can tell you is that Dana blurted out, "Dude!" after her first bite (so you KNOW it was good). We decided to balance our sweet cravings with something from the savory side of the menu and landed on the "Udon Carbonara." While I was hesitant to include this as part of our breakfast (because it felt more like a dinner option), it proved to be an excellent companion. The noodles were buttery (without being overwhelmingly heavy) and the poached egg added a burst of creaminess. While the ambiance isn't noteworthy here, the food certainly is! And that's...Henry's Take. #breakfastanddessert

    Steak and eggs, shakshuka, biscoff French toast, udon carbonara

    My very honest detailed bad food review. (Sorry forgot to take photos before we dug in) Took our aunt here for a birthday lunch. So not worth the price tag. Bad review for the food only. For a restaurant charging $25-$30pp at minimum, they should have much better food control. We ended up ordering the paneer fries, shakshuka, steak and eggs, udon carbonara, and the biscoff waffle. Absolutely underwhelming. PANEER FRIES $18: First off the paneer fries were priced at $18 FOR 4 LITTLE STICKS (about 4"x1" long).. And they were SO salty. Which follows into the next dish UDON CARBONARA $21: Again the portion was small. Compared to most restaurants it would not qualify as an entree serving. Carbonara is supposed to be thick and saucy. We got watery noodles, like they didn't bother to strain the udon fully before tossing in the sauce. ALSO so under seasoned, missing salt. SHAKSHUKA $23: This dish was so acidic. Tasted like straight canned tomatoes. No balance at all, we also added pork belly to it. Dry as a mother. You'd think it would be crispy or juicy.. no just dry and chewy. STEAK AND EGGS $31+$10upgrade to 8oz: Okay steak was good, I will say they cooked the steak perfectly medium. However they smeared the entire plate with this super sweet beet purée which ruined the entire dish for us because everything just tasted like the purée. BISCOFF FRENCH TOAST $24: This was by far the better dish out of everything but still so underwhelming. Nothing super wow about it that would make us want to keep eating it. Didn't have much biscoff flavour to be honest. After our entire meal, and a single coke, we ended up paying $174 with tip for 4 of us. Oh and we didn't leave full. Servers deserved the tip but whoever owns/runs this restaurant needs to re-train their chefs or hire new ones. Just my very honest review.

    Swiftie brunch board!

    Food was great and ambience was amazing!! They had a nice photo op too. Their Taylor swift menu was so fun I will definitely be back again!!

    Crispy tofu soba salad
    Angela E.

    The food was amazing! My salad looked way too big but I enjoyed every last bite. So flavorful and light. My friend enjoyed the salmon with gnocchi and we both finished with the creamy and delicious earl grey crème brûlée. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable - provided great recommendations. My only issue was the vibe of the restaurant was lacking - the quality of food was much higher than the Denny's feeling restaurant. They need to work on the ambiance to bring it up to the quality of the food they're serving.

    Udon carbonara (front), spaghetti pomodoro (back)
    Allison Y.

    Bringing the sleek Sydney brunch scene to Surrey, Ruex is an elegant cafe that also boasts a dinner and cocktail menu. I've been here once for brunch and once for dinner now, and it is solidly worth a try! I'll start with my brunch experience: the Biscoff French toast was incredible. I'm not usually a sweet brunch person; I'm more savory. But this almost swung me to the other side. The caramelized banana, crunchy breading, and cinnamon-y filling... whew. I still think about it sometimes, and it's been months. The eggs Benedict and omelette were also both very good, but the French toast took the cake. Prices weren't cheap ($25ish per plate?), but that french toast.... worth it. My dinner experience was a little less exciting. I tried two pastas, the pomodoro and udon carbonara. They were both decent; the cook time on both made for a delightfully chewy noodle, but the flavors were a little one-note. The pavlova we also got for dessert was disappointing. The berry compote overly sweet, and the pavlova itself was too chewy--it almost felt a little stale. Again, the prices weren't cheap ($23ish for the pastas and $15 for the pavlova), and for dinner, I don't think it was as worth it. Overall, definitely worth a shot for brunch, but I'm not quite sold yet on dinner!

    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

    The cultural lineage of this place is certainly interesting, since from what I understand, this is…read morethe only Canadian location of an Indian restaurant from Japan. The restaurant is beautiful with both Indian and Japanese design sensibilities. They have a table service restaurant with both high tea and an extensive a la carte menu, and it looks like you can also buy mithai in bulk. The food isn't really Japanese-Indian fusion as you might expect, but more like Japanese impression of Indian food, if that makes sense? There's a few hints of Japanese and Asian influence, but the menu is mostly modern Indian. All vegetarian. There's no vegan or gluten free options for afternoon tea, but the a la carte menu includes many clearly labeled vegan and GF dishes. I wanted to try the afternoon tea set to get a wide sampling of their offerings. The set included: corn spinach puff, paneer tikka slider, cream cheese cucumber sandwich, samosa, chutneys for dipping, manchurian skewers, orange cranberry scone with whipped cream, rose rasmalai cake, dodha crunch, motichoor cheesecake parfait, and the choice between masala chai, coffee, or hot/iced caffe latte. It's $32/person for the set, which is a great price. I also appreciated that it was possible to order the set for just one person since it seems like many teahouses will only do it for 2+ people. I thought all of the items in the set were pretty good, and there was a balance between the sweet and savoury items. The only things that really left anything to be desired were that the scone was a bit dry and crumbly, and I thought the tandoori paneer could have been more flavourful. In general the flavours of the savoury items were a bit more subtle than in typical authentic Indian food, but for the most part it didn't come across as bland to me, just a different take on it. The standouts in the set were: the paneer slider - even if the paneer itself didn't impress, I loved the almost flaky texture of the pav - the manchurian, and the rose rasmalai cake. Also, the cream cheese cucumber sandwich had cilantro or chutney or something in the cream cheese which made it much more interesting than the plain version of this sandwich. The masala chai (my chosen drink) was also very good. It was served in a pot that contained 2 small servings. My waiter was very friendly and stopped by a few times to check in. When I was done eating and wanted my bill, it was easy to get his attention. I visited at what seemed like a quiet time so I didn't have much competition for attention. One thing that I thought was odd was when he gave me the machine to pay, there was no tip option - it would be cool if they had a no-tip policy, but I never saw any mention of it, so I wonder if he accidentally bypassed the tip when putting in my charge. It was an interesting and very pleasant experience. I was so curious about this place that I made a trip out from Vancouver just to try it (and couldn't get anyone willing to go to Surrey for afternoon tea with me, hence the afternoon tea order for one), and it was worth the trip!

Cream cheese filling was nice accent. Pistachio loaf was more dense than I expected. It had pistachio whipped cream on top, so, cream helped loaf texture more smooth. Loaf had strong pistachio flavor. I liked whipped cream and loaf combination. Pesto and mozzalera swirl was a bit too salty for me. Dough was super flaky and buttery, I liked the dough texture so much, but filling could be more minder. Unfortunately, I did not have ferrero rocher danish. I heard that this one was the best. Mousse was so delicious and dough was very flaky and buttery. Overall, I think their pastries are always outstanding and good quality. The place was extremely busy and could not get a table.
