East Café
East Café is a community-driven café in Vancouver's Hastings Sunrise neighbourhood, built around the 'third place' concept of a welcoming space outside home and work. It runs the City Smiles Initiative, which has served over 3,210 free meals and drinks to the local homeless community, and hosts weekly events including open mic nights, a book club, creative writing sessions, and Sunday jazz. The café operates its own roaster (City Smiles Roaster) and supports a neighbourhood publication, The East Café Chronicles.
