Cypress Circle Cafe Rebranding

Cypress Circle Cafe is a historic Houston Zoo structure dating back to the 1950’s, which sits adjacent to the lush Kathrine G. McGovern Texas Wetlands exhibit in the center of the Zoo. Wanting to elevate its use and turn it into a state-of-the-art, green-certified restaurant space, the entire structure was gutted and remodeled in 2019. A new brand was developed to give the cafe a current look and also highlight its green practices. Additional food kiosks were later added to the surrounding areas incorporating the same branding, throughout.
