The weather outside may be unusually chilly and snowy as shown in the photo above, but the coffee, food and free WiFi at Libby's (my "3rd office", Take 5 is my second office :-) !) are delightful. Check out Mini-Review: Libby's in East Van.
Everything at Libby's (3429 Porter near Trout Lake community centre and the East Van Farmer's Market, my flickr photos) is delicious. From the banana bread to the soup to the paninis to the coffee.
Jon Husband pointed us to arthur hungry, which is a food blog with some Vancouver related material and lots of excellent food photos like the ones from this post about Ningtu! Excellent! The only thing I could suggest is adding a Vancouver category so I can track the Vancouver stuff.
Here's another Tsunami food related benefit. If you know of any more email roland AT bryght.com, leave a comment or call me at 604 729 7924 and I'll post it here.
[UPDATE Jan 04, 2005: The number of restaurants has increased from 12 to 14 with the addition of Elixir and Monsoon. Please see the Restaurants for Relief event page over on Urban Vancouver for this and future updates]
