New Eats: Cereal Trip
Love cereal? No really love cereal? Have you mixed up different types of cereal at home looking for the perfect combination?
Then new local eatery Cereal Trip is for you. It’s a cereal bar that opens Tuesday in downtown Fresno and the concept is a lot like one of those create-your-own-crazy-combo frozen yogurt shops. You pick one (or more, if you like) base cereal, mix-in a topping or two (M & Ms, raisins, almonds, etc) and even choose your favorite kind of milk.
There are also seven favorite combinations from the Cereal Trip staff that customers can choose from. You can expect the menu (see below) to change — with additions of new cereals and/or toppings.
“I love cereal,” says co-owner Uriel Perez, 24. “It’s my favorite thing to eat. And I think a lot of other people agree with me”
He and co-owner Vanessa Silva, 25, have been putting the finishing touches on the eatery — which is at 907 Van Ness Ave, near Kern St., and right around the corner from the Fulton Mall. They’ll be open 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and they’ll stay open later on ArtHop days.
“I grew up around this area, not too far from here,” Perez says of the downtown location. “I know it’s potential. I want to be part of re-introducing people to downtown.”

THAT’S GREEEEEAAAAAAT!!!
only one question, do that have just cereal marshmallows?
Not that I saw, but it sounds like the menu will be evolving.
Yay!!!!
And ditto on the Lucky Charms marshmallows question. Would like to try and add them in with my fav Cocoa Puffs!
All it needs is Zooey Deschanel and it will be just like this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0462295/
But really though, its a clever idea, but the location might hurt it – I’d be interested to know how they’re going to market it/get the word out? Seems like the Iron Bird/Cultural Arts “district” would be more fitting since there’s more hipster traffic up there? Van Ness & Kern has more the professional 9-5 crowd. Not that they don’t like cereal though…
Where has this been all my life????
This is so awesome!
This is really good news. Wednesdays it will be: Breakfast at Cereal Trip. Lunch at Market On Kern. Dinner at Brick. Three meals all within a two block area.
Cannot wait to try this!
It’s like Cereality concept. Intresting.
Kudos to you both! Something new and exciting! Best wishes on your new venture!
Gonna fail worse then a friends spin off.
Good luck with the biz.
Young entrepreneurs is always good to see, I will hopefully try to come by and support this
I had this idea a long time ago. I thought I had years to develop my idea, and never thought some wise guy and gal would snatch it from right under my nose. Shame is a horrible thing and I hate to pass it on, but shame on you both. I hope your shop succeeds long enough for my cereal shop to put yours out of business someday. Best of luck to you….until then….
