Has anyone visited one of these establishments? An all-cereal restaurant sounds like a good idea but I'm not too sure about the idea of toppings and cereal combos.

I dont know how I feel about the people who work there dressing in their jammies..

there's one opening up 2 blocks from my office. this could be good or bad... but i guess its here for the college students.

Horrid. Horrid. But destined for brilliant success. People of the world, you sadden me.

TOMBOT, Thursday, 2 December 2004 02:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I would definitely eat there. Cereal has long been a staple of my diet. And as a quoted customer pointed out, you can try different types without committing to a whole box.

Tom, I live to disppoint you.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 December 2004 02:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd go there once, but I also really loved the "nothing but hot dogs and sausages" joint they used to have in Amherst (Tom, don't knock it!)

Yeah, but that's what people said about coffee ten years ago, jones. (And still do, granted.) I'm not sure putting Whoppers in my Cap'n Crunch is really a latte analogue, but I am sure that I'm gonna try that shit the next time I have some Whoppers and Cap'n Crunch.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Other than the kitschiness, I'm not sure this is all that different from the overpriced ice cream joints like Coldstone Creamery (which I like but is still overpriced) where you pay four bucks to have someone smoosh a Heath Bar into your white chocolate custard.

(Sam, "restaurant prices" doesn't mean "the cost of a full meal at a restaurant," it means "the price the item costs at a restaurant.")

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:42 (twenty-one years ago)

tep if your coffee theory is right, i shall enjoy trying this in ten years when a tiny minority of places have figured out how to make cereal

jones (actual), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay yeah $3 for cereal sounds SO DUMB but this is why starbucks is EVERYWHERE

1. people pay it! they do! and here as with starbucks they're not just selling the staple, they're selling VARIETY and CONFECTION (wtf malted milk balls on your frosted flakes, but hey, whodathunk "eggnog latte! yum!" (I did, yesterday evening on the way to class))

2. the ingredients are so cheap the overhead for your class-A location becomes a moot point by the time you've made 50 sales each AM M-F

3. yes it's insane! Americans love sugar! I wish I'd thought of it first. There's no way I'd let them get by with that name, though. MY cereal restaurant racecar would just say PENCIL SHAVINGS ALL UP IN YA MILK on the hood and I'd never get any venture capital.

TOMBOT, Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Tom for the love of god, please do this k thx

Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:54 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not a theory exactly, because Starbuck's was marketing the appeal of something that was already around and had a culture; that's not really the case here (there are no neighborhood cereal joints to be supplanted by Cereality, etc) -- so I'm not saying this will go over. I'm just saying that the price hike itself, even combined with the lack of need, doesn't mean it won't work.

I mean, this is coming out at the same time that "chef's helpers" in the grocery store -- partially prepared items that are neither as fresh as produce/normal meat nor as convenient as frozen dinners, but more expensive than either -- sell very well.

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:55 (twenty-one years ago)

haha tom anybody bonkers enough to ORDER an eggnog latte is surely not to be trusted in the taste-test dept!!

(Sam, "restaurant prices" doesn't mean "the cost of a full meal at a restaurant," it means "the price the item costs at a restaurant.")

Tep, I was just trying to make this jackass feel like an idiot.

I am the anti-Tep you know. Microwaving something is trouble for me. I don't like preparing anything as I don't wish to have to wash up plates or anything like that. I don't predict this height of laziness to last forever but for the last year or so it's suited me fine. If there was a cereal restaurant nearby, it would become my new Ships.

Miss Misery (thatgirl), Thursday, 2 December 2004 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, my idea at how well this might go over is based on my experience that young urban workers are spending ALL their income on food, drink and entertainment (which they traditionally do) so $4 of cereal when you never give yourself time for breakfast at home and aren't leaving your office location until about 6:30pm or later doesn't strike most folks as such a stupid idea. Same goes for those chef things tep was talking about. People simply have no time anymore, we work 10 hours a day and get paid for 8. well, not me, necessarily. But my boss's boss's boss DID ask me today if I ever went home.

TOMBOT, Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Haibun (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I make double portion dinners and take half to work to heat up, but then again that means I have to cook and I guess some people cant be arsed/dont have time/cant cook.

Loads of folks here bring in and eat cereal in the mornings - we even have the little single serve kellogs variety brick packs in our vending machine - it'd so work here I reckon.

Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

"haha tom anybody bonkers enough to ORDER an eggnog latte is surely not to be trusted in the taste-test dept!!"

What's worse is that the Starbucks near me usually has a chalkboard with something along the lines of "Try a Triple Vanilla Hazelnut Latte with a Double Chocolate Heath Bar Brownie today!" Gross.

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I wonder why they started in Arizona and PA, of all places (presumably one of them was cause they lived there or whatever, sure). I don't know anything about Tempe, are there a crackload of college students there or something?

Somehow that makes it seem more Kramery. I'm not just gonna open up a branflake boutique, I'm gonna do it in Arizona!

Part of the plan they fed the bank must've invoked the much-hyped comfort food fad that doesn't seem to be quite as strong as anyone thought it was. The website is all "we're the restaurant with nothing new!"

There should really be a chain of restaurants called either Hey Smell This or What The Fuck Were You Thinking, but I think I've talked about that before.

(xpost: see that was what made Starbuck's work, though, they created a new coffee niche -- a triple lutz hazelnut flapjaccino isn't competing with a cup of joe, just like McDonald's isn't competing with Applebee's etc.)

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha, I just told my girlfriend about this place and her reaction was, "Oh my God, can we move to Arizona?" Bear in mind I cook everydamnthing and could probably synthesize Froot Loops in a chafing dish if I had a dry enough oven to work with. I guess the appeal is all about the intangibles.

HST and WTFWYT are both restaurants that emphasize the participatory appeal of restaurants, the other side of the "just add the ingredients together and stir" frozen meal. It would have to be marketed as "not a meal substitute."

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 2 December 2004 04:26 (twenty-one years ago)

i just have to say that cereal is a lot easier to make correctly than coffee. starbucks has a good formula down and has the expensive machines to make the coffee correctly.

i would fuck coffee up if i made it at home, i dont fuck cereal up.

4 dollars for cereal is so ridiculous that i cant possibly even see why anyone would pay for it.

I must point out that the main picture on their site features a young girl wearing a WHITE BELT which pretty much sums their target market up as quickly as possible.

I'm serious ... Ti-i-i-i-im (deangulberry), Thursday, 2 December 2004 08:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Starbuck's wasn't competing with homemade coffee, fucked up or not -- if they were, they'd have never gotten out of Seattle. Starbuck's succeeded by popularizing highly sweetened coffee and espresso drinks, which in most parts of the country they had no competition for except the occasional Italian restaurant. Ultimately, it worked because the price gap between their frappuccinos and traditional coffee was so steep that you'd feel silly suggesting they were the same. (I realize Starbuck's also sells ordinary coffee, but it doesn't matter; no frappuccinos and flavored lattes, no national Starbuck's chain.)

I doubt they're aiming for it, but if Cereality wanted that level of success they would presumably need to do something similar: spin their product in such a way that it's the cappuccino of cereal.

(After all, Todd, I doubt you fuck up ice cream sundaes, either, but sundae joints selling their product at nearly the same markup as Cereality -- with as much labor saved -- aren't going away any time soon.)

Remember when they thought waffle bars would be the next big thing in the mid 90s?

It's great for Americans who sometimes just want shitty drip coffee instead of Italian espresso all the time. Also the chairs are so much more comfy than any fancyass cold steel cafe.

C0L1N B3CK3TT1, Friday, 3 December 2004 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know about Australia, but most Americans didn't have real access to espresso before Starbucks; that was mentioned up thread, I think. Many still don't have it outside of Starbucks, and if they do, it often isn't any good -- even in Bloomington, my options are pretty limited (I never really went to Starbuck's before moving here), and this is a college town. Don't think of them as an alternative to anything.

(This is most likely why they have no competitor yet. Like Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken, they took a market that had only existed in regional pockets, and nationalized it; most of their market now associates the product with them. Vs post-McDonald's national burger chains and pizza delivery joints, who have to compete on an existing playing field and whose customers already knew what they liked before they saw the menu.)

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 3 December 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

And coffee, of all things, doesn't really admit objective measures of quality. You won't find any real agreement in the world's earliest coffee cultures, and most of the warnings and precautions in any "how to make coffee" guide were or still are the traditional way of making coffee at one time and place. If people like it, it's good coffee.

Tep (ktepi), Friday, 3 December 2004 02:57 (twenty-one years ago)

It's great for Americans who sometimes just want shitty drip coffee instead of Italian espresso all the time

You know that you'd have to drink about 8 espressos to get the amount of caffeine that's in your typical 24-oz cup of American coffee? The drip method actually extracts more caffeine, and of course there is the big disparity in volume. So for your average American coffee drinker, an espresso just isn't going to cut it.

o. nate (onate), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:32 (twenty-one years ago)

C0L1N B3CK3TT1, Friday, 3 December 2004 05:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, it's true. It came as kind of a surprise to me, because I'd always assumed espresso was stronger since it tastes stronger. Since I've learned this, I've actually been trying to cut back on my coffee consumption, sticking with the 12-oz size or else having a cappuccino instead.

o. nate (onate), Friday, 3 December 2004 05:46 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't drink coffee or eat cereal. I wish someone would start up a plastic chain version of food I like. Oh, pickles! If the pickle bar were real. I would definitely go to an all pickle place. "I'll have the pickled steak, rare".

There's a similar store in Coral Gables, Florida, called the Cereal Bowl. The menu is overstuffed with sugary cereals, but there's some surprisingly healthy alternatives (oatmeal, for instance). The store received some extra attention, as the business model won a Miami Herald "Best New Business Idea" contest. It's become something of a college hangout (the University of Miami is across the street), and has a cool-ish and family-friendly vibe.

Still, my six year old daughter won't go there, even though her piano lessons are at a studio just above the Cereal Bowl and I always suggest it (and trust me, she likes sugary cereals).

Boise was one, we and one other town got our Jack-in-the-Boxes replaced w/the new JBX Grill, which not only had the world's best onion rings AND delicious chicken-avocado-bacon sandwiches BUT they sold beer!
