At our Cafe

‘ammatka Cafe @ The Lawrence Hall of Science is closed for a remodel—when we reopen in early November, we will be offering 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 15 people may discuss a group reservation at least 2 weeks in advance via email.

Please note: ‘ammatka Cafe is closed for renovation until early November 2026.

Education and Consulting

‘ottoytak is a seasonal educational experience in a fragrant garden of manzanita, artemisia, California rose, and mugwort located in the courtyard outside the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology. At ‘ottoytak, every element is designed to speak to Ohlone aesthetics, from the Napa basalt bounder seating to the reclaimed East Bay redwood tables and abalone finery to Chochenyo language, all commingling with birdsong that plays in a soundscape. In this abundant setting, we provide rich lessons about the living culture of the East Bay Ohlone people.
