Hipster overload: Cereal Killer Cafe opens

[xenon]

Exactly. Serial's shit food for kids and degenerets. Adults eating sugar puffs, doing colouring books and riding push scooters... Have some fucking dignity.

Over four years - is it still going then?

ETA: Hmm seems I asked the same a few months ago.

Two controversial London cafes famed for selling bowls of supermarket cereal to their punters will not reopen following the lockdown, citing the prolonged closure and industry uncertainty for the decision.

The Cereal Killer Cafes gained infamy when their first branch opened on Shoreditch’s Brick Lane in 2014, and faced backlash for charging upwards of £2.50 for a bowl of cereal and milk in one of London’s poorest boroughs.

They have Cereal Killer Cafe branches in Kuwait, Qatar, Dubai, and Jordan that still seem to be going strong, weirdly enough.

Here in Murcia, Spain, there's a very similar place called Cereal Shooter. Same idea, but l suspect nothing to do with the Shoreditch hipster twins.

A cereal cafe has opened in east Belfast and I seem to recall the original guys being from NI. I wonder if that’s related to their closure in London.

Don’t know how this cropped up in conversation but my daughter was going on about visiting this place at some point (her mother is from London way and has family there).

I’ve just sent her the link of it closing.

I dunno that I am happy about this place closing down. Did they treat their staff shit or something?

It was all about the property investment. Having your own business premises means that most of the development costs, motor expense and allsorts are offset against profit. If they now have these all over just think of the long haul flights that were business related.

Only the London branches are closing, the others and the online store are still trading.

I assume they were loss making cos of the London rent tbf.

The fuck is the online store?? "Expensive cereals you could just buy in a supermarket"??

While on nostalgia trip over Matey bubble bath*, I came across a 'British corner shop' website that sold British goods, presumably to people overseas? It was pretty expensive and just can't help feeling there'd be a cheaper, easier way to get almost everything they sold, even overseas


*hey, remember Matey bubble bath?

You can still buy Matey bubble bath

It's not the same smell Just like Bonjela doesn't have the same taste.

I actually have a proper old bottle of Matey that I huff when I'm feeling nostalgic. Sometimes best mate Mogden has a sniff too. Some say weird, I say quirky
