About Nemesis Coffee
nemesis is a specialty coffee company composed of highly dedicated baristas, chefs, and creatives. We use our passions and the spaces we explore them in as our catalyst to build community and create culture.
We opened our first location, nemesis gastown, on one of the busiest corners of downtown Vancouver. We opened our doors on February 14, 2017, and people came…in droves. And they kept coming back.
Next came nemesis polygon in 2020 and nemesis GNW in 2021, both set in art, education, and budding tech hubs, each one a showcase for the outstanding architecture, design, and community that represents the nemesis spirit.
In a few short years, we've earned several awards and accolades, including best new coffee shop in Canada, top six coffee shops in the World, and best new cafe design.
