Cafe Ohlone’s latest iteration, ‘oṭṭoytak, is open to the public for a few meals each month; reservations for April are available through this page. Reservations for June meals will be posted on May 15.

Reservations for public meals at ‘oṭṭoytak take the form of tickets, like those sold for a concert or sporting event. We offer one seating per meal; all meals are prix fixe. Parties of fewer than 4 people may be seated at a communal table. If you wish to redeem a gift certificate, please email us with the date of the meal below that you wish to attend and your gift certificate number. Although we have set aside tables for this purpose at every meal, we cannot guarantee we can accommodate a specific request.

In addition to public meals, we offer private lunch and education sessions. Private lunches are available for groups of 25-40; education sessions are designed for groups of up to 40 and are tailored to the group’s size and age. Please email us for more information on private lunches and 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.

Please note that any information about location and hours for Cafe Ohlone or ‘oṭṭoytak that you see in on most websites and search engines is incorrect. ‘oṭṭoytak is located outside the Hearst Museum of Anthropology on the UC Berkeley campus, at Bancroft on College Avenue — there is no street address. If you use a map app, search for Hearst Museum of Anthropology.
