Cuetara Choco Flakes Cereal review!

 This has to be one of the most interesting cereals I've ever seen. Described as "puffed rice and chocolate chips wrapped in cracker biscuit";the unique combination was something I knew I had to try. Especially because they reminded me of little tiny pop tarts in cereal form.


 Opening the bag up, the pieces were bigger, heavier and sturdier than I imagined. I mean they look good, right? Kinda like one of those stone faces from Super Mario but also very appetising. There's a thought I never thought I'd have. The recommended serving is 9 pieces, which is shown above.
Trying a piece dry , the flavour was nice, but what really made it was the combination of textures. From light and airy puffed rice, to smooth chocolate chips, to crunchy biscuit. When you add milk however , the crunchy biscuit part doesn't last very long. Like at all. I'm talking about 10 seconds max before the biscuit exterior dissolves and is never to be seen again. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though! The outcome is still a lovely, unique experience and you're left with a biscuit flavoured milk. If you're anything like me, biscuit flavoured milk = cereal goals. I got my box on the cereal killer cafe's online shop, but they also had it available in-store when I last went. So give it a try - it's a weird one.

Overall

Taste - 4/5
Texture - 4/5
Sog factor - 0.5/5
Cereal Milk - 3/5

Last Comments: When looking for information about this cereal online , this was the first thing I found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5YbaCW5qbI. From what I gathered , this cereal mascot thing was giving a doll a limited amount of time before he was going to sexually assault her.  But I'm hoping I've got that wrong.

Cereal Killer Cafe: Camden review!

 I'm back for round three ! This time at the Camden location , as I felt it my duty as an avid cereal cafe fan to try both locations. As suspected , it's amazing!

The cafe logo is proudly displayed on the front of the shop , behind a bunch of video tapes which is pretty cool and sticking with the retro theme.Just the same as Brick lane , in that when you enter you are met with a wall of cereals and a menu on the right.

I was visiting with a mission. I knew exactly what I wanted to order as I have been wanting to try them for ages. coco pops. No just kidding, I wouldn't commit such a crime.
I went for a bowl of French Toast Crunch and another of Rice Krispie Treats cereal. I will post a review for both of these soon, so look out for that!


When inside , you see this amazing wall made out of milk containers. It's crate!
Old TV's are placed inside it, making me not only enjoy the nostalgia of old cartoons, but appreciate the architecture and sturdiness of the sculpture standing beside me. Next to this are tables and a bar like setting with a long table and stools.

 Further on there's an even bigger seating area , with beds! I firmly believe this is because everyone knows cereal is better in the evening than in the morning. Or does it mean I could live there if I paid rent ? I'll ring them ...

Even more retro memorabilia covers the walls, which I could look at all day . Old things are fun to look at actually. Cereal boxes , cars , and even though it's gross there's something about mouldy fruit which is just disgustingly mesmerising.

Anyway, I'm very happy that the cafe is getting the attention it deserves and that the company is expanding. The more the merrier is what I say! I just hope that one day there's a location closer to me.

If you'd like to know what the Brick Lane location is like, there is a review here
