The Daily Planet Cafe

We are a sustainable NC Green Travel destination. After all, we are in a North Carolina museum.
(242)

The Daily Planet Cafe is located within the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and features fresh made breakfast, salads, sandwiches, wraps, entrees, kids meals, Larry's Coffee, smoothies and more. The Daily Planet Cafe, located in the new Nature Research Center of the NC Museum of Natural Sciences, features breakfast entrees and pastries, a full coffee bar, sandwiches, seasonal salads, small plate ent

rees, and eight North Carolina beers on tap. Speaking of North Carolina, it wouldn't be politically correct to not offer local products from farmers and growers within our great state. So, our menu will be almost exclusively built on products born and bred in the Tarheel state. In addition to great food and drink, The Daily Planet Cafe is home to weekly sciences cafes and science trivia each Thursday evening at 7pm.
