There is a new 'Cereal and Milk Bistro' near Telegraph and Channing in Berkeley, and while I was skeptical about the concept after just seeing the Coming Soon signs, after a taste test I must say I am impressed.The bistro carries a full range of cereals, from Fruit Loops to Muesli, and in your bowl you can get two scoops of cereals (preferably mixing healthy and junky). Next comes toppings- these also range elaborately from healthy to junky, from fruit to chocolate chips. They had more toppings than your average frozen yogurt joint.
And finally, you get your choice of milks- skim, 2%, whole (no chocolate yet, but I hear it's often requested). Your bowl thoughtfully comes with a straw, so you can sip up all the remaining milk when you finish your cereal.
Overall, it's a fun idea, though definitely one that will be dependent on business from all the nearby college carb-o-tarians.
