Manchester to get first cereal café

Following in the footsteps of London (and Leeds), Manchester is soon to get its own cereal café.

Black Milk Cereal Dive is set to open on the second floor of Afflecks Palace on March 3, and will offer around 60 cereals from across the globe to visitors.

But it won’t just be about the cereals – almost as many milk choices will be available. Options including coconut milk and camel milk will be on the menu along with infusions created by chefs using ingredients such as Earl Grey tea and Dulce de leche.

Patrons will be also be given the opportunity to blend chocolate bars from around the world into milk to come up with their own concoctions. Non-cereal fans will be catered for with locally produced baked goods.

And the name? A range of black products are also planned - inspired by the owner’s first experience with squid ink pasta.

But eagle-eyed Twitter users might have spotted this is not the first time a cereal café has been mooted for Manchester. Back in December @cerealcafemcr appeared - so are cereal wars about to begin?
