Cereal cafe: Owner tells of 'witch hunt' that pelted windows with cereal/paint

[Martinus]

Having seen the pic and understood the "concept" of the restaurant, I now fully support the attackers.

[Eddie Teach]

I can understand overpaying for somebody to prepare a meal for you, but this can only appeal to people dedicated to avoiding grocery shopping at all costs.

Or people who occasionally want a certain kind of cereal but don't want to buy a whole box of it that goes to waste after one or two servings.

Those boxes last a year and are cheaper than the bowl you get at the cafe.

[Josquius]

Stupidest protest ever. Typical of this kind of xenophobic Britain first alike knob heads.

It is a silly cafe. I would never go there. But some people are, so fair play to the owners for managing to make a business out of something like this.

A box of cereal costs about 2 quid at Tesco. These shitheads are selling one bowl of it for 5 quid.

In that case it's an idiot tax.

Maybe things are different in Poland - but I find that things in cafes are more expensive than if I bought them in 'bulk' at a grocery store.

I've noticed this too. I thought I was the only one!

Yes, but 5 pounds for a bowl of cereal seems excessive.

Keeps the poors out.

Well here are the actual prices:

AMERICAN CEREALS S-£3 M-£3.7 L-£4.4
BRITISH CEREALS S-£2.5 M-£3 L-£3.5
GLOBAL CEREALS S-£3 M-£3.7 L-£4.4

Not sure how they would be expected to stay in business if they charged less in central London.

[Syt]

Well, in Central London there may be enough people willing to pay those prices. I still find them slightly insane.

[Jaron]

I don't think it is excessive at all. Or at least no more excessive than your standard restaurant. A local establishment offers a bowl of oatmeal for 2.99 and my local Walmart will sell me an entire container of oatmeal for 3.99. (which contains god knows how many bowls - I've never been able to finish one)

Plus this cereal killer place has bowl sizes, milk and toppings. If nothing else, you're paying a small premium for not having to need to stock the entire box, not buy an entire container of milk, and not have to purchase/prepare any toppings like 'nananas, strawberries, blueberries, etc. A small container of blueberries in the US can run you as much as 5.00.

If you don't agree with the concept, why not just eat there?

If this ever happened in America, the owner would have mowed the entire crowd down with an automatic weapon and been praised for doing so.

A grande chai latte in central London costs like 3 pound 35 and that's not even a meal.

Can you check with DG on pricing for a large container?
