If you still harbour an almost indescribable fondness for the guilt free marriage of sugar coated cereal and Saturday morning cartoons, or simply reject society’s conventions towards the appropriate time and place to eat a bowl of lucky charms, then an Irish duo are about to open the perfect eatery for you.

Identical twins Alan and Gary Keery from Belfast are about to open London’s first cereal café, a restaurant that will serve 100 types of cereal from across the world, over two floors in east London. And, if that's not enough choice, you can choose from 20 toppings; including sweets, raisins and marshmallows. You can have your cereal with 12 types of milk or, if you’re in the mood for hot food, there’s 18 flavours of pop-tart and toast on offer too. There’s even a range of cereal cocktails - a mix of cereals, toppings, milks etc. - to sample.

The pair came up with the idea while having a post-night out lunch in London, and craving a bowl of cereal and a comfortable spot to eat it. They couldn’t find anywhere offering what they wanted, “and that was the birth of the Cereal Killer Café” the pair say, in a video looking to attract investors to the idea.

The place is decked out in cereal memorabilia, which feels like it’s probably a term never needed before. All of those trinket and prizes that were buried at the bottom of the cereal bag when you were a kid, reflectors and pen toppers, will adorn the walls, as will discontinued cereal boxes. And if that isn’t enough to send your nostalgia meter flaring, the TVS in the Cereal Killer Café will be showing all of your old school Saturday morning TV favourites.

So far, the reaction has been pretty positive...

The idea has already taken root in the US, with Cereality the market leader there, and the Keery brothers took inspiration from how the cereal café business had worked across the Atlantic.
