While its a cool idea, I dont think it will go far. If I am going somewhere for breakfast, the last thing I want is cereal. That would be like getting a pop-tart in the burger king morning drive-thru, or getting a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwhich for lunch at a restaurant.....

I dont get the point.. How much would a person pay to have another person put their cereal and milk into a bowl? Cant you just eat at home or get a nutrigrain bar or bagel or something? I dont see how enough people would want cereal.

dude, people are lazy.... they like to do as little as possible at home as possible... why does everyone go to starbucks when they can make coffee at home? Its a small $3 and you can get your healthy breakfast on the go... I think ppl will go for it

Are there a huge variety of cereals or something? I've heard of this before but not sure if it will take off.

they have like every variety of milk and ceral you could imagine. I think its like u pay the $3 and can mix and match whatever you want. They also have toppings like ice cream and stuff to make it interesting

Anyone remember that online business (from a few years ago, when the venture capital was flowing) where they allowed you to customize, name, and order your own cereal? I bought 10 bowls of my chocolate marshmallow creation -- pretty good stuff.

I personally cant make a cafe mocha or a cafe late or anything like that in my home. Maybe you can but I cant. But cereal? come on.. plus coffee is something you take with you... cereal isn't mobile, so it really doesn't save time

I'm sorry but a cereal specialty restaurant just makes me laugh; it's like that old SNL skit about the Scotch Tape store.

Personally, if you're charging me $3 for cereal, it should be all-you-can-eat... and it better be the name brand stuff too!

if it targets college campuses and makes it trendy enough, ppl will come in and check it out every so often. ppl get tired of eating the same thing every day and i know i would check it out and try it out.

College kids might be dumb enough to waste alot of money there though.

A perfect example is a local chain here in Louisiana called "Cane's". IT servers nothing but chicken fingers, and it is expensive, but it seems to be doing well. I dont understand how people pay like 6 bucks to eat over there, the chicken fingers arent even that great, but people do......
