London "Cereal Killer" cafes to close permanently as company continues trading online

Two themed cafes in London will not be reopening after their closure during lockdown due to an “uncertain” future.

Cereal Killer, which has cafes on Brick Lane and in Camden, announced via Facebook that running the venues will no longer be financially viable.

It reported that it plans to reopen its cafes within the next couple of years, and that in the meantime it will sell its unique cereals online.

The company said: “After 5.5 years we will be saying cheerio to our cafes, for now.

“After a long period of closure due to coronavirus, and with the future of the hospitality industry looking very uncertain, we have made a decision that our cafes on Brick Lane and Camden will not reopen their doors.

“But it’s not all bad news, you can still buy all the awesome unique and hard to find cereal we are famous for on our website.

“Cereal Killer will carry on as an online store selling the world’s best boxes of cereal, we also have loads of toppings and a cereal subscription box for the cereal super fan.

“This is not Cheerio forever, we have goals of seeing our Café open again, but due to the current climate it won’t be financially viable.

“Fast forward a year or two and we hope to re-open our doors, but until then we will be putting our efforts into growing our online store, creating our own line of products and delivering awesome cereal.

“Over the last 5.5 years, we have sold over 1 million bowls of cereal and made a lot of people smile with our 90s themed cafes and cereal themed menu.”
