Cafe Ohlone’s latest iterations, ‘oṭṭoytak and ‘ammatka, are part of the University of California at Berkeley’s ‘ottoy Initiative, which is led by Vincent Medina and Louis Trevino. The ‘ottoy Initiative aims to foster understanding of and respect for Ohlone people and culture and to repair and improve UC Berkeley’s relationship with the Ohlone community.

‘ottoytak, located outside the Hearst Museum of Anthropology on the UC Berkeley campus, is a seasonal restaurant that is open to the public for occasional meals and private lunches. Our dining service will resume in Spring 2026. We continue to welcome groups of all ages for education sessions in ‘ottoytak; please email us for more information on education sessions.

‘ammatka, located at the Lawrence Hall of Science, will open in the Fall of 2025 and will offer family friendly fare Wednesday through Sunday, 11-3.

If you’re interested in having us come to your organization for a session, or if you’re interested in having us consult your organization, email us.

You can find us around the Bay!
