Daily Planet is a cute cafe on Beaufort street, connected to Planet Video and bookstore. From the looks of it (on Urbanspoon), this place got off to a rocky start with sketchy food and disorganised service. It has definitely improved; we had a lovely brunch with no hitches.
My breakfast of toast with pesto, rocket, mushroom, grilled tomato and feta.
Quirky decor. Perth has totally embraced the Melbourne cafe scene, I love it!
Menu
variety / creativity: 7.5/10. A decent choice and some creative savoury options. More points if they had creative sweet options.
Taste: 6.5/10. My breakfast was good. What would have made it even better would be chunkier toast (or 2 slices), and balsamic reduction drizzled over the top instead of the pesto.
Coffee: 7/10. A solid brew.

Setting / location: 8.5/10. A lovely casual setting with lots of sun and quirky decor. Great for people watching if you get a window seat. No air conditioning I don't think, so might be uncomfortable on one of Perth's stinking hot summer days.
Service: 8/10. Friendly and efficient, and the staff wear cool vintage clothes. Bonus points for that ;-)

Price: 7/10. Average for Perth.
Verdict: Yummy and very enjoyable, I'll return to sample another menu option!
Perth should do well with a cafe scene like Melbourne's - they have much better weather for it! I've never been to Perth (yet - I do want to go there one day), and I always imagined that it would have had a very big outdoor cafe scene long before Melbourne.
