Yaak'a Cafe
At Sky City Cultural Center
Gu'waa'dzi Hauba, “Hello everyone” – Welcome to the Yaak’a ("Corn") Cafe
Experience a taste of Acoma culture at the Yaak’a Café, located within the Sky City Cultural Center and Haak’u Museum. Y'aak’a means "corn" in Keres, the language of Acoma. Corn was farmed by the Acomans for centuries in the valley beneath the 367-foot mesa where we live. It has sustained us for hundreds of years and is intertwined with religious ceremonies and art.
The Yaak’a Cafe offers a diverse menu of Acoma traditional foods as well as contemporary American dishes prepared by our own tribal members. Large-paned windows provide natural lighting and spectacular views of the Pueblo and Cultural Center. The covered patio offers respite from the sun and a venue for outdoor dining. When winter ushers in frigid temperatures, the corner fireplace warms one's heart and soul.
Daily hours of operation are 9 am to 4:30 pm, March thru October, MST.
