Was just hungry for a small kids chicken finger order. Literally would not let me order it since I wasn’t 10. Messed up!

It was alright, and the food was mediocre at best

I like the daily planet ! The place, food and the peple who works there are nice !

The reason I gave it 3 stars is because some of the hot drinks are extremely bad ! For example the hot chai tea latte is so bad ! Tried it twice ! Please use the same ingredient recipe ike Starbucks, Panerbread etc for the chai tea latte.. It is too Sweet and has a weird test.

Fast in, fast out. Perfect place to grab a drink or a bite to eat if you’re in downtown Raleigh. Very close to the government center and basically on the same block as the museum. Fair prices, too.

listen. this isn’t your run-of-the-mill museum dining experience, ok? I got a fried chicken sandwich that was delightfully crisp, paired with a tangy slaw and a bit of a kick. It was better than your average fast food chicken sandwich, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and size of the portion. Also, the environs are awesome with an airy vibe and large windows for views onto the street. The gift shop is just a stones throw from the dining area, and even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel crowded. The plates and cutlery add to the quality of the experience. Now, I will say the only person who spoke to me was the cashier and the employees don’t seem necessarily thrilled to be there, but it didn’t dampen my experience. Good spot for a bite either before or after a museum visit, definitely recommend it!

Cafe next to the museum, which makes it convenient. Good options for breakfast or lunch (lunch), with good variety and good flavor. All packaging is sustainable (plus point) and the service is good. When we went we had a cashier with a bad attitude (impatient and waiting for us to know how the place works, when it was our first time) but the rest of the staff were all very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended

Kid-friendliness: There are food options for children

The mixed berry and feta salad was good and reasonably priced, but I didn’t expect to have to remove pieces of wilted lettuce and a random piece of shredded cheese.

This place was amazing! We took our group of 17 kids and 9 adults to the Capitol and decided to eat here. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Our train was delayed and we had to keep pushing back our scheduled pick up time and it was no issue at all to the wonderful workers.
The food was amazing!
We definitely plan to eat here again on our next trip to the city.

Kid-friendliness: The kids with us enjoyed how many different options the kids menu had. They especially loved that the meal came with a delicious cookie.

Food wasn't fresh and the staff is rude. 5 minutes before closing they told us we were going 2 have 2 finish up bc they were closing and my son is 7, not grown and was trying to eat as quickly as possible. We about fell going out because of them slipping water all over the floors .

Staff is amazing and management, just very customer service focused. It’s the little things such as offering another plate to us who were sharing a meal for lunch. The quality of food and sauces were amazing! An amazing cafe with great staff!

The place was ok. We drove out of our way to get there. Wasn’t such that I would do it again. The food was ok but not great. Service was decent. Atmosphere ok. If in the area ok to eat at but nothing spectacular. Prices too steep for what you get. I would eat there again if in the area but would not go out of my way to eat there again. I might see what else is around first next time. I would encourage others to give it a try if near it. They have lots on the menu and maybe something else is better. You could certainly do a lot worse so I am not down on it. Just trying to give my thoughts of my visit.

I would give this a 4.5. it is an all round good place. Good food, good service, it's good. It's not outstanding or unique but it is pretty good in everything a cafe should have.

I used to be able to order a Breakfast sandwich online and pick it up on the way, but now their online menu only has Lunch items in the morning. I just checked again before writing writing this. :<
