Review by Brandyn Batz

At The Daily Planet Cafe, I found a delightful haven after a fun day at the nearby museums. The sweet tea was refreshingly perfect, and the chicken and waffles were an unexpected highlight - fluffy, fresh, and all for just $7.20! 🤤

The menu is simple but with plenty of kid-friendly options like wraps and sandwiches. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, being situated in the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, making it ideal for families.

Staff were friendly and attentive, and the environmentally-friendly practices were a nice touch. I’m already planning my next visit! 🌟
