Anyone been here? I think it sounds great, but I'm a cereal freak.

i saw this on tv awhile back. i can't imagine what they'd have to charge for a bowl of cereal to make their rent, but considering cereal is pretty much the only meal cheaper than ramen i think the mark-up will have to be insane. i don't think i could pay that for cereal.

Similar things must have been said about Starbucks when it was first coming up. I'm predicting this to be all the rave with the hipsters and soon, all the sheep (85% of America) be paying $8+ for a bowl of Lucky Charms in a small cafe with crappy CDs and wireless internet.

There are couple of problems with the comparison. 1) Starbucks coffee is better than like 90% of other coffee. This place isn't giving people anything they don't get in their kitchen breakfast nook. 2) I think most people buy their coffee to go. I can imagine people trying to eat a bowl of cereal while driving to work, or rushing down the sidewalk to a meeting.

Sell it in a cup that you drink it out of, like that new soup crap. FWIW, I think this is nasty.

They have one on campus where I go to school. A lot of people I talked to thought it was really dumb, tried it, and were hooked. I personally haven't ever gotten anything there but some of the mixes look pretty good.

If this idea flies, I'm opening up my own dream place, selling nothing but Wonder bread with the crust cut off, completely shmushed and shaped into cubes. That's good eating.
