Hospitality-driven speciality coffee company Nemesis is taking its pursuit of ‘coffee creating culture’ to the city of Surrey, with the highly anticipated opening of its fourth location. Debuting this February at the new Surrey Pavilion, in the heart of City Centre, Nemesis Pavilion will feature all the signature hallmarks of its brand — inviting space, dynamic music, excellent coffee, pastries, and elevated brunch, said the company in a news release.
“Surrey is one of the country’s fastest growing cities and City Centre is at the core of its growth — a community surrounded by families, campuses, sports facilities, parks, public art, and more,” said Jess Reno, who opened his first Nemesis in Vancouver’s Gastown in 2017. “Similar to our other locations, we wanted to place our next Nemesis in a neighbourhood where arts, culture, and education are celebrated. We’re beyond excited to open our doors at the Surrey Pavilion next month and work with Marcon to create this new cultural hub.
“We collaborated with the Marcon interior design team to create a space that is both thoughtful and refined. Inspired by modern architecture, the interior emphasizes subtle details — highlighting the warmth of wood, steel, and glass — while intentional use of light and sound creates a seamless harmony with our style of service and hospitality.
“By design, Nemesis Pavilion will be equipped with a full pastry kitchen. This will allow us to create fresh pastries throughout the day, including donuts, which will be exclusive to this new location initially.”
The 2,600 square foot space will feature 50 seats, with an expansive patio expected to open during the warmer months. As with each Nemesis location, Nemesis Pavilion’s design is distinct and unique, said the brand.
“The service team, led by senior operations manager Albert Tang, includes operations manager Karl Broadway and director of coffee Nathaniel Fried. Guests will continue to enjoy directly-traded, thought-provoking coffees from Nemesis’s partners at origin — from drips to pour overs,” it said.
“The kitchen team features executive chef Mielye Mitchell and executive sous chef Lina Serrano — two talented individuals who have been leading the culinary program at Nemesis since the launch of their GNW location. While Nemesis Pavilion will serve a similar brunch and Dope Bakehouse menu as its sister locations, it will also introduce something new – donuts – focused on nostalgic flavours and re-interpreting the classics.”
