"Nemesis is anything but. Huge windows invite you into a beautifully designed expanse of blond-wood counters and seating, ideal for anything from a quick coffee-and-snack pause or a leisurely meal. While the beans have a starring role here—they source from a range of roasters, such as Lüna, see below—the food is reason enough to come. Cauliflower hash (gorgeous warm-spiced florets piled with crispy fingerling potatoes and a poached egg) leaves corned beef in the dust. If you are craving something meaty, go with a Scotch egg. The pastry case is rivaled only by Their There’s and is stocked with savory tarts, morning buns, danishes, croissants, and a particularly infamous chocolate cashew sea salt cookie. With sunshine streaming through those oversized windows and a Lüna pour-over and a cookie in hand, there may not be a nicer place to be in all of Vancouver." - ByChris Morocco
