The NZA Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 source Kellogg's just opened their first-ever upscale cereal bar (they're calling it a cafe) in New York City, where you can get yourself a bowl of your favorite Kellogg's cereal topped off with more chef-driven ingredients such as lime zest, green tea powder, and thyme. Rather than a pop-up, the Kellogg's NYC cafe is a permanent shop meant to drive more interest and intrigue towards the breakfast staple (which has been slipping in popularity) and perhaps encourage similar experimentation at home. Most of the menu features cereal bowls with various toppings but also includes ice cream, juices, milk, and locally-produced coffee. Cereal bowls include creations from chef Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar fame as well as build-your-own options. Pricing is definitely aimed at the tourist set with prices starting at $6.50 for a small topped cereal bowl. The food comes to you out of a numbered cabinet door, which also allows them to sometimes surprise guests with a little something extra. The cafe/cereal bar is located at 1600 Broadway between 48th & 49th streets in the heart of Times Square. It's currently open with limited hours but will begin regular hours from 7 AM to 11 PM daily once they have their grand opening on July 13, 2016.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I know these things exist all over the place, but this idea really needs to take off. Can you imagine chains of these everywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatella Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The one we used to have here was better in that it wasn't restricted to only Kellogg brands of cereal. I used to make these insane concoctions of mixed cereals and eat too much and get sick. It was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donatella Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Haha! Yeah I always felt like an asshole paying the same price for a bowl of cereal that I would for an entire box. But it never stopped me! And I'd do it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iambaytor Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Just buy cereal, Nick, it's not that expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yeah, I'm wondering what exotic cereals he's thinking will be in a restaurant that won't be on a supermarket shelf. I mean, unless he's talking about trying cereal at restaurants while abroad then, okay, he can get a pass on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donatella Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Holy buzzkill, guys. It's not that expensive, when you buy one box at a time. The novelty in the place I used to go to was trying a bunch at the same time (nothing "exotic," just stuff you wouldn't buy an entire box of without knowing if you'd like it), and mixing them like a mad cereal scientist. So Nick could try like five new cereals for $5 versus spending $25 for all of them at the grocery store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hakujin Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 edited for context~ Well then. I see you're stocked up on Salty Flavored Sassy Flakes and don't mind mix'n 'em in a bowl with some Bitter-O's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obruxo1997 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If this is made into a chain, it could help for people who are on the go or want something sweet without having to ruin their diet (if they have one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
