East Cafe - Vancouver

This morning, we're smack dab at the corner of Nanaimo and Hastings, which served as the center point of Mike's life for decades. Heading for school, waiting for the light to change. A boy with a tennis racquet handle always sticking out of his backpack, taking a handy shortcut across the parking lot of the 24 hour Church's Chicken which by the way, still stands in the same place.Long time residents know it simply as Hastings Sunrise. Although years ago, this area was re branded to its modern moniker, East Village. So there's history. And this particular neighbourhood café, feels comfortable, like it's always been woven into the lives here.As we come through the door of East Café Stop 51 of our weekly Search for Vancouver's Best Coffee a girl behind the counter cheerfully calls out good morning. Behind us, regulars come in. In turn, she loudly greets each by name, asks how they're doing. That's the thing about East Van, Mike says. Once locals find a place they really like and trust, that's it, end of story. It quickly becomes a part of their routine and they'll stick by it, like nobody else.

Oh, i so very much adore this place. Made my first visit this afternoon out of utter spontaneity, and i fell in love as soon as i entered the café! It has such a cosy neighbourhood café atmosphere, further enhanced by the fact that there were a few patrons there with their children. Tomo, who was behind the counter, was utterly hospitable. I had a very lovely cuppa and one of the best muffins i have had. Seems to me that their bakery items (muffins, cookies, biscotti, etc. are house-made. I sat by the corner window, feeling 'protected ' from the hectic traffics on E. Hastings and on Nanaimo. Spent an hour there getting some school work done. East Café shall be my regular lingering place from now on!

A friendly little spot! It just opened but will surely become popular. The espresso is great, the service is quick, and it is bright and airy.

This is a local real coffee shop. Great coffee and atmosphere. Right at the corner of Hastings and Nanaimo. Two guys run it. Super friendly and priced right. Deliciously crafter coffees. We will be back again and again and again......☕️☕️☕️
