I have not been to the zoo in years, but to my surprise, the leaping lemur Cafe at the San Francisco Zoo is amazing. It's not too high priced. Nice selection of food, and let me tell you, my whole family enjoyed the foodI had the Korean fried chicken sandwich. It was delicious, and it came with french fries. When you order just a side of fries, they fill the whole box they are also fantastic. Next time you go to the zoo, plan to eat at the Leaping Lemur Cafe. You will not be disappointed.

if i could give it zero stars i would. i was excited because i love lemurs but anyways i got a burger and the BOTTOM bun (so check yours) had black mold spots. they tried saying it was flour…meanwhile NO other burgers i saw in my immediate area has that. the line cooks were annoyed i returned it and asked the manager if i should be charged to change my food out to tenders, when i should have gotten a free refund for MOLDLY BREAD. i didn’t get a chance to take a photo but i wish i did.

Quality food, very expensive! Soft drinks are $7 for a cup! Service is poor, staff are rude.

Mediocre cafe food.

Very rude staff and stale food. I had completed an order on the tablets inside and whilst waiting for my food to be ready, I was looking around and picked up an extra water bottle in addition to my order to check out. When my order was ready i picked up the bag to check the contents and the male at the till came to me and spoke in an aggressive manner with a raised voice saying “do you understand what a pick up is?!” And took the extra bottle away from my hands and took it to the fridge. I was like what are you doing i wanted two bottles, then he was oh yeah you want two then? I said not anymore thanks and he and his colleagues were making hand gestures behind me when i turned to look. The food was stale as it was prepared way before the order and just waiting around in case someone ordered it. Very disappointing.

It's a concessions service so of course it's a bit over priced. Basic street food / food court - Pizza, burgers, fries, etc. There's decent interior seating, with self serve drinks and condiments. Quality is better than a fast food restaurant, but not quite upto California diner/cafe standards.

Offers all your American staples - chicken fingers, French fries…but it costs an arm and a leg…

Expensive as hell Flys all over the food In 2 of the kitchens

Not at all impressed with the charcuterie pretzel. Seemed like a decent idea in theory but a cold pretzel with a few salami slices just didn't work out for me.
This cafe smashes it out of the park. Food is great and lots of selections. Never seen food this good in a park before. Well done!

Food was good! Just DONT sit at the tables surrounding the Cafe, and sit inside instead!! Look at the roof and you’ll understand.. a lot of bird p*** on the roof.. when it’s windy they’ll become the salt & pepper of your food if you sit outside ?

Painfully expensive even knowing that proceeds benefit the wildlife.

The worst chews burger I ever had. You are charging more than $17. No cheese on cheese burger. Lettuce and tomatoes were old mushy. Buns were cold. Seriously. These

Zoo food is always expensive but I figure it goes partly at least to a good cause but what made this spot exceptional was the type of food! If your thing is vegan or stuff like that then they got that but what really impressed us was that beyond burgers and chicken tenders they have shrimp roll sandwiches, salmon sandwiches, Italian delights like meatballs and Italian sausage! And all tasty and reheated in a fire oven not a microwave! ??? ???
