It’s where neighbors become friends, ideas are exchanged over lattes, and everyone belongs. We believe coffee shops should serve more than drinks. They should serve people — and that’s exactly what we’re here for. This takes us to City Smiles Initiative! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372c61be4b0510c9a81712b/1524073215653-1HJHKLOREAPHM0UD58ZG/EastCafe-17.jpg Home The Heart of Our Community: City Smiles Community is not just a value for us — it's an action. That’s why we created the City Smiles initiative, a program rooted in kindness and connection. In the past year alone, we’ve proudly served over 3,210 free meals and drinks to members of our local homeless community, offering more than nourishment — we’re offering dignity, warmth, and belonging. But City Smiles is more than a meal. It’s the spirit behind everything we do, from our gatherings to our beans. Through weekly events, we open our doors to anyone seeking community, creativity, or simply a place to belong: City Smiles Book Club — Monday & Wednesday 7am | Saturday 8am hosted by Jarrod Regan ✍️ City Smiles Creative Writing Club — Tuesdays 7am hosted by Aliocha Perriard Abdoh City Smiles Open Mic — Thursday 7pm hosted by Taylor Moon City Smiles Sunday Jazz — Sunday 5:30pm by Kody Buchart, Jillian Lebeck, and Alfred Abrenica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5372c61be4b0510c9a81712b/eb5f54ea-81bc-4642-886d-cc0d0e99c5fe/820CDC99-16DD-43BF-B05A-609E826B0BE9+2.JPG Home - Come for Coffee. Stay for Community. We believe that great coffee is only part of the experience. Whether you're a writer looking for inspiration, a musician finding your voice, or someone simply seeking connection, you’ll find a place here. Welcome to your third place.
