East Café in Marpole
East Café is a community-focused café built around the concept of the 'third place' — a welcoming space outside home and work where neighbours connect over coffee. It operates the City Smiles initiative, which has served over 3,200 free meals and drinks to homeless community members, and hosts weekly events including open mic nights, a book club, creative writing sessions, and Sunday jazz. The OSM node identifies this as the Marpole branch of the East Café brand, formerly operating as Gigi Blin.
