I am a fairly organised lass, so when my phone battery died part way through the night and my alarm failed to wake me, my morning routine was slightly screwed.
Luckily for me, I work with very forgiving people who don't mind me rocking up to work with a slight shine to my hair or a lack of cover up on my face. But what I have learnt is not to rock up to work grumpy; and although I did receive an extra half an hour of sleep, the jolt from my usual routine and a lack of coffee sent me into a bit of a frenzy.
It just so happens that I work well under pressure, so with 15 minutes to spare, I found myself at The Daily Planet on Beaufort Street, ordering a Skinny Cap to go.
I have always been a big fan of Planet Records and Planet Books so when I heard that The Daily Planet was opening next door, I was super excited to have another option for my morning coffee.
Continuing with the alternative theme of its sister and brother planets, The Daily Planet oozes simplicity with its hardwood floors, quirky decor and exposed brick - I was instantly in love.
I was greeted immediately with a huge smile from the Barista, who promptly went on to make my coffee, while another staff member ran my order through the till. Within about 2 minutes (not nearly enough time for me to gawk at everything I needed to gawk at) I was handed my coffee and back on my way to work.
I am yet to try the food but I must say, the coffee is unreal - something seriously lacking in Mount Lawley. After reading several reviews on urbanspoon, I am surprised at the negativity other patrons have shown. Perhaps this lovely new cafe have since found their feet? The service I received was second to none, which meant I was sitting at my desk sipping the best coffee I've tasted in a while with 5 minutes to spare before my work day began.
