čukʷaa haʔuk cafe
with Chef Lisa Ahier
Our little cafe is sprouting back to life under the culinary direction of Chef Lisa Ahier of SoBo as the čukʷaa haʔuk (CHOO-kwa ha-OOK) cafe, meaning “come, let’s feast!”
Regular Hours
The cafe is open 7 days a week (Monday-Sunday), from 10 am to 4 pm.
Menu
Expect a small-but-mighty menu that changes daily—think hot lattes, hearty soups, and a few tasty surprises as we slowly unfurl our wings for the season.
Tip Included
Our menu prices include tips, as we believe in taking care of our team.
To support the work of our organization and our staff efforts, please make a donation to our charity. Donations support programs, activities, and spaces at the Clayoquot Campus.
Culture
In the Nuu-chah-nulth language, the words for feasting (haʔuk) and teaching (ḥaaḥuupa) are related. Often, in Nuu-chah-nulth culture, teachings are shared during a meal. With a focus at the Clayoquot Campus on education and Indigenous-led conservation, the new name of the cafe carries with it an invitation to feast on food and knowledge.
