On Tuesday January 8, we will introduce tawwa-sii Tuesdays, our regular evening tea hour at Cafe Ohlone. tawwa-sii means tea in the Chochenyo language. We will have a tea hour every Tuesday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 pm. We envision lively, fun, short bursts of energy on these evenings; Cafe Ohlone will offer seasonal East Bay gathered Native teas, traditional small bites and contemporary Indigenous music to end your day. As with any event at Cafe Ohlone, we will keep the hour focused on living Ohlone culture and identity. 

tawwa-sii Tuesdays cost $10.

Every Thursday (weather permitting) we serve lunch from 1 to 3. The tasting includes including plenty of delicious food to keep you sated for the afternoon—the menu varies with the seasons and includes a couple of locally gathered teas

MUR: Saturday Evenings at Café Ohlone (every other Saturday; next one is January 12)

Our series of evening meals and discussions at Cafe Ohlone includes boundary-breaking discussions with cultural revival leaders in our community and an elegant, locally gathered dinner of all pre-contact Ohlone foods and Native teas from the East Bay.

Sit under the twinkling lights while surrounded by Native plants, Chochenyo language and contemporary Indigenous music. Wrap yourself in a blanket as you sip locally gathered Native teas while listening to stories and powerful discussion and learn directly from the first people of the East Bay.

Tickets go on sale a week or so before the date. Check our website for a link to buy tickets for an intimate evening of rooted foods and rich, meaningful dialogue that will work toward a decolonial future here in the East Bay.

MUR costs $95. Tickets for January 12 are available here.
