Cafe Ohlone, the only Ohlone restaurant in the world, opened with two goals: to provide a physical space for our Ohlone people to be represented in the culinary world with a curated space that represents our living culture; and to educate the public, over Ohlone cuisine, in a dignified, honest manner about the original and continuous inhabitants of this land.
Our work with mak-‘amham/Cafe Ohlone affords us the privilege to be cultural diplomats through representing the beauty and vibrancy of our living culture in an effective way. Through this work, we correct outdated stereotypes and misinformation that have lingered for far too long, while simultaneously teaching truths of our living culture, history, and unbroken, permanent relationship
