N° 05 · The Family

Two brothers,
two shores.

Café Parisien is run by Ahcene "Ace" Mklat and his brother Hosine — a French-Algerian family raised between Algiers and Paris.

Ace came to California through years in food and beverage at the Fairmont in San Francisco, where he learned the rhythm of a hospitality kitchen. He fell for Berkeley while studying at City College, and the family opened on Shattuck Avenue in June of 2024.

"We wanted to build a small French café in our neighborhood — the kind of place we'd want to walk into ourselves."

The menu is squarely French: croque monsieur, lox bagels, baguette sandwiches, café au lait, scratch breakfast on warm croissants. The people behind the counter are, more often than not, family.
