I'd had Nemesis bookmarked for a while and finally had the chance to check them out on a recent trip to Vancouver. My hubby & I always seek out the best local coffee shops anywhere we go, and although we already had a few favorite spots in Vancouver, we also wanted to try some new ones. We actually landed at YVR, hopped on the Canada Line into the city, and walked over to Gastown! We were greeted by one of the best matcha lattes we've ever had, awesome coffee, and standout customer service. Instant fans over here! The employees are friendly and welcoming, and even instantly brought out 2 glasses of water to where we were about to sit. Such a simple yet highly appreciated touch! They also brought out our drinks to our table versus most places that call out your name to pick them up at the counter. The cafe itself is beautiful and pretty relaxing despite it being a bustling shop. Lots of natural wood accents, clean lines, and plants hanging from the ceiling.
We loved it so much we came back again the next day! Seriously their matchas are heavenly: high quality matcha, not overly sweet, slight nutty flavor, and super comforting and delicious with the steamed oat milk. I make matcha lattes at home regularly so when we get them out and about, we can't help but be "matcha snobs!" I guess the same can be said about us and espresso too ;)
Great experience and a new favorite for us in Vancouver! Also wanted to give a shout out to one of the friendliest and nicest people working there: Mariah. Thank you for the being so kind!
