My daughter had the grilled chicken she really like it. It came with really good fresh hot fries, we shared. I had the best hot chocolate. Great space in doors & out door seating. Nice staff.

My little daughter and I went to have a little snack at this cafe. We were there for the first time and could not place an order, a man at the checkout started shouting at us loudly, chased us out of the queue, then took a paper cup from my child because she chose juice, not coffee! It was just awful! My daughter left there in tears. I would really like to complain about the staff of this cafe.

We stopped for coffee only. But the food looked good, from what I could see. 4 stars because I felt the prices were too high for cafeteria food

Very overpriced. The food portions were not worth 15 bucks and the fountain drinks were over 6 dollars. The food was pretty good but not worth the price.

Super cool they have a mobile option. That's the route I took. I think it took a bit longer than if I went in but I did not want to go through that line. Came out when they said and everything was exactly how I ordered it.

Very large interior and beautiful walls of windows. We were there on a very quiet midweek day, so I couldn't give it full stars since not everything was operating. But it looks like plenty of small snacks and decent size lunches. They have beer and wine on the menu as well but pretty pricey. We loved sitting at the front windows and watching the flamingos.

Was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this food! It was a little on the expensive side (however this is SF) but so worth it! Chicken tenders were so good and only $14! My grandmother loved the pizza, and the pretzel is SO GOOD! It was only 6 or 7 dollars too! I wanted a second one! Definitely a must eat!

Pricey! But you're at an amusement park so it is what it is. The food was really good!

Overpriced dorm food, big yikes
Took out a small loan to pay for a dry pretzel, a hotdog, and a cheeseburger encased in a hard bun

Happy to pay the prices to support the zoo. Far superior selection in comparison to days of yore. Staff keep the tables clean. Bathrooms nearby are relatively decent. Ample selection of condiments for the food served. -1 * for the inability to keep rando people from touching the baskets/plates of food set on counter.there should be some form of ticketing to prevent this. Otherwise happy as a clam.

Despite the menu, they do not sell smoothies. They do have a slushy machine, but that was non-operational.

They have no non-dairy creamer options.

When visiting the zoo and not going the picnic route, this cafe stops offers a good selection of food choices. Even for those picky young eaters they will find something there good to eat.
Food quality is descent but nothing that would make the must visit list.

They refused to make their cheeseburger without tomato and told me just take it off, instead of them just simply making it without the tomato, I had to settle for a not so appetizing pretzel, bad service.

I asked what they would've done if someone was allergic to tomatoes and she just went and took it off, for that price (13.99) you would think they would've made it without the tomato when you ask. Stay vigilant kings, this ain't the place!

Really expensive, but the portions are good and the food is good quality. The customer service is awesome as well.

Granted we came to the zoo on a rainy weekday, so I guess we should have expected this being the only food option in the whole zoo, but $50 for a cheeseburger and a burned pizza that went straight to the trash is a bit much. Cheeseburger was ok. Cold, but ok. For $13.99. The family eating lasagna on the bench out of the tupperwear should have been my hint.

There is an ugly old chinese tree working at the cashier who charged me 5,15$ for empty card, and is super super impolite, shouts on customers. Wtfff?

The food is decent and at $12 for a burger and some fries, it would be a better deal just to include a beverage with it. We (families with children during this trying time) can't afford a can of soda or a bottle of water at $10 a piece.

I did appreciate mobile ordering with this cafe though because our food was ready before I got there. So I didn't need to stand in that long line with a whining 7 year old that's starving.

But a tip to let us know beforehand that our food will be waiting at a designated area instead of just assuming we know this.

So the Lemur Cafe. The food was good but extremely expensive. $12.95 for chicken tenders and fries. $14.99 for a ceasar salad I can buy at the grocery store for $3.95. Then $9.99 for a souvenir cup with free refills but the lid doesn't stay on.
