About Busy Bee Cafe

The Busy Bee Cafe offers a clean and new dining experience inside the zoo. It is one of the most popular spots, with long lines for beverages and snacks, but collection and taking orders are efficient. The chicken wings come with a good amount of greens, exceeding expectations, and the Parmesan truffle wings are a must-try, served with a delicious arugula salad. The French fries are shoestring and seasoned, and the kids cheese pizza is a hit. The veggie burger is made on-site, and the staff provides friendly and efficient service, even with large groups. Guests especially enjoy the large portions, such as the pizza, fries, and ice cream servings. The cafe also offers free water with a smile and has a nice shaded seating area to relax after eating. It is situated perfectly at the foot of the skytram, making it a convenient and lively spot for visitors. The cafe is one of the few at the San Diego Zoo offering a vegan meal, with a decent vegan burger and tasty fries. Overall, the vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, and generous portions make it an ideal place for lunch during a zoo visit.
