Great Northern Way
More infoNemesis's Great Northern Way flagship is less a cafe than a destination: a curving, flower-shaped timber pavilion by Perkins&Will, all warm birch plywood rising to a central oculus that pours daylight straight down. Order house espresso or a rotating guest roaster with a Dope Bakehouse pastry, then send your date to scout a seat while you queue. Emily Carr's galleries wait next door.
Divide and conquer: one of you queues for a coffee flight and a Dope Bakehouse pastry while the other claims a table under the oculus, because it's order-first, seat-later and the good seats go fast. Look up, the ceiling is the point. Emily Carr galleries and the Olympic Village seawall are the natural act two; budget an hour.
