Indigenous Foods, Decolonized Space
Located in the heart of Seattle’s Pioneer Square neighborhood, ʔálʔal Café reclaims and reintroduces traditional Indigenous foods in a modern café setting.
Our cafe is on the ground floor of Chief Seattle Club's landmark urban housing complex ʔálʔal, a residence for urban Natives to call home, find stability through housing, and connect with our community.
ʔálʔal (meaning “Home” in Lushootseed)
Traditional roots. Modern Vision.
In addition to a full espresso bar, ʔálʔal Café offers delicious, fast-casual cuisine featuring Indigenous ingredients from various regions of North America. We strive to highlight pre-colonial ingredients such as: Great Plains’ bison, the Southwest’s Three Sisters, and the beloved Northwest salmon.
