cereal restaurant opens in Philly
It's all cereal. Seriously.
Cereality Cereal Bar Cafe
clarisonic mia, which opened its first sitdown cafe Wednesday on the University of Pennsylvania campus, is a sugarcoated and tongueincheek homage to what your mother always told you was the most important meal of the day. But she probably never dished out bowls of Froot Loops and Cap'n Crunch topped with Pop Rocks
lululemon.
Behind glassdoor kitchenstyle cabinets at Cereality are 30 varieties of brandname cold cereal

lululemon, plus regular, flavored or soy milk for $2

Though some of the choices sound like a sugar overdose or a dental disaster to the uninitiated (or to those long past their college years), they're not all that indulgent.
"This is great because you can try all different kinds and not have to buy the whole box," said Penn freshman Erica Denhoff, 18

Cofounders David Roth and Rick Bacher opened the first Cereality, a 200squarefoot kiosk in Arizona State University's student union, last year. Besides the 1,500squarefoot Philadelphia cafe in the middle of Penn's retail district, the Boulder, Colo.based company wants to open more than a dozen Cerealities next year on campuses

"We don't see this as (solely) a college concept, we see this as being relevant to the 95% of the American public that eats cereal," Roth said. If college students "the most cynical market we can go after" like it, Roth's confident that office workers and travelers will like it too.
Cereality also offers its own combos with names reminiscent of Ben and Jerry's ice creams. John Merz, a 27yearold Penn employee

"I'm always on a sugar high, so this doesn't make that much of a difference," he said with a laugh that sounded sugarinfluenced despite his assertion.
"You're eating candy with milk on it!" chided his coworker Caroline Couture, 42. After polishing off her Banana Brown Betty with hot oatmeal, bananas, molasses sugar and streusel topping, she said that she'd be having a salad for lunch but that she'd visit Cereality again

"We're all still kids, really

In Philadelphia, customers can eat Apple Jacks and stretch out on a couch (Mom might not approve

American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Gail Frank agreed that cereals can be a good fast food because they're high in fiber and loaded with vitamins and minerals as long as customers keep their sweet tooths in check and pick healthier toppings like nuts and fruit.
