Cafe Ohlone’s latest iterations, ‘ammatka and ‘oṭṭoytak, 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.

‘ammatka, located at the Lawrence Hall of Science, will open in January and will offer family friendly fare Wednesday through Sunday, 11-3. Admission to the Lawrence Hall of Science is not required to visit 'ammatka Cafe. Seating is first come, first served (no reservations). We recommend double-checking the museum’s operating hours when planning your visit. Groups of more than 10 people may discuss a group reservation at least 2 weeks in advance via email.

‘ottoytak, located outside the Hearst Museum of Anthropology on the UC Berkeley campus, is seasonal restaurant that is open to the public for occasional meals and private lunches. It will re-open 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. 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!
