Cereality Cereal Bar & Cafe   

The bowls are more akin to Chinese takeout containers and the toppings seem more attuned to hot fudge sundaes, but don't fool yourself -- you're in an all-cereal cafe. Jerry Seinfeld would be proud. Cereality debuted in November 2004 to national acclaim and hasn't seen a slow day since. Situated between the Penn and Drexel campuses, Cereality is already a University City staple. A familiar catalog of brand name cold and hot cereals comprise the standard menu, but the better bets are customized. A ''Your Way'' allows the choice of any two cereals (e.g. Cap'n Crunch and Froot Loops) and one topping (including not only the familiar bananas and strawberries but also coconut, M&Ms or chopped nuts). The "Our Way" leaves the creativity to the staff. For those against silverware, the Slurreality (a smoothie concocted of what would otherwise require a spoon) and Cereality bar (think Rice Krispies treats only with fancier cereals) might suit you better.
