Our Guestbook
“ 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. ”
“ 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! ”
“ The San Francisco Zoo is absolutely amazing. My whole family loves going multiple times a year, so we became members. We always stop and have lunch at the Leeping Lemur Cafe because the food is great, and proceeds go back into supporting the zoo and its animals. Highly recommend! ”
“ 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 food I 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. ”
“ Great place to take the family have lunch and check out some animals, And don't forget to go for a ride on the Little Puffer train with Johnny the Conductor. ”
“ 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! ”
“ Has a lot of fun visiting the zoo, I do realize this is a way for the zoo to make money, so we had pizza at one of the other locations in the zoo, came in for coffee and Waters were five dollars. Needless to say we didn't get coffee. But the atmosphere it was nice, staff really didn't hear act with customers that much so I would not be able to give a fair review of their service. I know no one asked us what we would like or anything while we went in but there was plenty of seating. ”
“ Great zoo cafe. Food is varied and tasty. Staff is friendly. Offerings include bahnmi sandwiches, Thai noodle soup, orange chicken rice bowls, Impossible burgers as well as cheeseburgers, pizza, chicken tenders, etc. Beer also available. ”
