Remember the excitement you felt as a child when your parents let you have chocolate cereal for breakfast? Well, get ready for a rush of nostalgia. At El Flako, Barcelona’s first cereal cafe, which opened in the Born a few months ago, there are more than 100 varieties of cereal. Customers can create their own bowl from scratch, combining any of the cereals on offer with one of the 80-odd toppings and their choice of flavored milk. For the indecisive, El Flako also has a menu of constantly changing combinations chosen by the staff to deliver maximum flavor. “We like to think of ourselves as cereal experts,” said employee Nicolás Castán while explaining the rigorous tasting process that goes into crafting each unique mix. They cater to the health-conscious too, with sugar and gluten-free options available, as well as plenty of fresh fruit add-ons.
