 And it's interesting because people walk in and they say, like, oh, I've never heard of a date to Hini Latte, you know, like, it kind of like, you know, kind of like reaffirms that, you know, there's so much beauty in our culture that people haven't experienced yet. Located at 5443 Telegraph Avenue, Jerusalem Coffee House is a Palestinian-owned cafe and cultural hub for community building and organizing. This space flow aims to bring the spirit and purpose of the traditional coffee house to Oakland, land of the Ohlone, birthplace of the Black Panthers and home to multi-generational communities that continue to seek autonomy and self-determination directly linked in heart and faith to liberation struggles around the world. Yeah, so you see Jerusalem Coffee House as, you know, just really being the vehicle for the, you know, for the narrative that we want to build. You know, in this narrative, you know, we wanted to exist outside of these four walls. A few weeks ago, we had Leila Haddad here. She came over from D.C. She was in town for the federal court case here in Oakland, California, where they heard from families from Gaza. And we were able to bring that spirit that was at the courthouse here at the cafe with the food sovereignty workshop by Leila Haddad. You know, we had kind of materialized like the work that we're trying to do, right? Where people can come in and really feel like a strong, you know, just the overcome, overcome through, you know, liberation, resilience and courage. One of the most beautiful aspects of, in my opinion, of the whole cafe is the logo that we have, the Jerusalem Coffee House logo done in. The Arabic calligraphy was actually done by a good friend, Belal Khal, who's actually in Gaza right now. He's a photographer and he's a muralist and artist and just a very beautiful, it's like a very beautiful human being. And if you just take a look at his Instagram, you see, like, the violence that he's living in and the reality that he's experiencing. And it's almost like a duty of responsibility, right? I feel like, like spiritually, I feel a responsibility to honor him. You know, culturally, I feel a responsibility to honor him and every other Palestinian. So this cafe, it's heavy, you know, it's not just like, oh, it's done in my image or it's done in the image of the collective that we all worked on together to get it here. But it's done in the image of every Palestinian, like living and breathing. It's done in the image of every Palestinian that's been murdered. And I feel like it's really representative of who we are as a people and I really want to honor them in that light. Elements of Palestinian culture are further infused through Jerusalem Coffee House's unique menu offerings, which include a selection of drinks inspired by Palestinian flavors and cuisine, such as date tahini, orange blossom and rose cardamom lattes. Yeah, so the menu is really interesting. Like, everyone thought I was crazy. Like, you know, when I came up with the date tahini, people were like, what are you? Like, are you Majnun? Like, that's the Arabic word for crazy. You know, they're like, it doesn't make sense to visit compute, but it's really good. You know, really for me, the flavors that we use are just representative of our own cuisine, our own culture. You know, like Palestinians, we use cardamom in almost everything that we eat. Like, cardamoms everywhere, you know, cinnamon, cloves, pennies. Like, all of these flavors are not foreign to me. Every day, every day when we come in here, we're opening our doors to the community. And, you know, people, they all process things differently, right? And I think right now, especially with everything that's heightened as much as it is, you know, people's emotions are also heightened. And for me to take that on, it's heavenly. Like, I don't know how to process that, but the whole space. I implore you all to, like, come here and hang out and just listen to the conversations that kind of happen here, right? People come here and they do some political organizing. People come here and they, you know, the conversations that they have here are very, like, very deep, very emphatic. And I feel like that's indicative of how safe people feel here. Regardless on what side of the spectrum they may be in, right? Regardless of, you know, how they might feel about what's happening. They come in here and they realize, you know, what they've stepped into. And it's beautiful to be able to see that. Reporting for CalTV News, I'm Anjali Pajuri. Yeah, no, the Daytonini blew my mind. This is so good. Yeah, like, it's my favorite. My top two are the Daytonini and the Cardamom spice. The whole mood. I know we're in Oakland and Berkeley and Bay Area. I know you guys like oat milk, but oat milk does not go with coffee. You know, oat milk, coffee is best with oat milk. But, you know, but we have, I know, but we have oat milk for everybody.
