Cypress Circle Cafe
Houston, Texas
Cypress Circle Cafe was part of the first phase of the Houston Zoo’s 20-year master plan to reconfigure the campus. The redevelopment included experiential zones that highlight wildlife and ecosystems found in Texas and around the world. The Green Restaurant Certified cafe focuses on providing locally sourced, sustainable fares. The goal for the cafe was to transform it into a signature gathering place for visitors while offering delicious and wholesome family meals.
