Not sure if I'll change your opinion on food at the AK, but Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery Kiosk in Harambe has the same stuff that the Main Street Bakery and Starring Rolls has for breakfast.
Espresso, Cappuccino, Apple or Cherry Turnover, Danish - Apple, Cheese, or Cherry, Cinnamon Roll, Muffins - Blueberry or Apple-Cinnamon, Croissant,
Bagel with Cream Cheese, Crisped Rice Treat, Cookies - Sugar, Chocolate-Chip, or Oatmeal-Raisin, Brownie, Brownie Paw, Zebra Cupcake, White Chocolate Elephant Cupcake, Mixed Fruit Cup, Yogurt.
Pizzafari has breakfast platters (eggs, hashbrowns, biscuit), breakfast pizza and biscuits and gravy. For lunch they have a a very good chicken caesar salad.
Tamu Tamu (also in Harambe) has Ham, Egg, & Cheese bagel sandwiches, along with French Toast Sticks for breakfast, and great lunch sandwiches that include turkey & swiss on focaccia and a tuna salad pita that is wonderful.
Flame Tree BBQ is the most unique counter service in all of Disney. The ribs are outstanding, but so is the BBQ chicken salad.
The Mandarin chicken salad at Restaurantosaurus is very unique, and the carrot cake there is fantastic.
The AK also has the same carts that all of the other parks have with popcorn, Mickey ice cream, fruit, egg rolls, turkey legs, pretzels, corndogs, etc.
As a previous poster said, there's nothing better than a cold Safari Amber from the Dawa Bar in Harambe!
