Actually, I kind of like the menu.
These aren't Euell Gibbons' style nuts and twigs cereal.
I wish we could get Coffee Crisp cereal here.
It does seem to go with the pajama boy theme.

An East End cafe that serves 120 varieties of breakfast cereal -- along with 30 kinds of milk -- has become a surprising flashpoint for protest in a city increasingly polarized between rich and poor.
The Cereal Killer Cafe has drawn both derision and big crowds since it opened nine months ago, offering a cornucopia of flakes, pops and puffs from about 3 pounds ($4.50) a bowl. On the weekend, it attracted the ire of anti-gentrification protesters, who surrounded the business with flaming torches and scrawled "scum" on its windows as customers sheltered in the basement.
"It is a bit weird," said Gary Keery, who runs the cafe with his brother, Alan. "I don't see us as hateful people - but a lot of people seem to."
Fashionably bearded 33-year-old twins from Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Keery brothers are among the latest wave of migrants to this diverse part of east London. Over the decades European Jews, Bangladeshi Muslims and hipsters from around the world have brought bagel shops and curry restaurants, espresso bars and independent fashion boutiques to Brick Lane and nearby Shoreditch.
It's that diversity that made the Keery brothers choose the area for their breakfast business.
"There's a lot of creative things happening," said Gary Keery. "A cat cafe just opened up around the corner. We just knew that if it was going to work, it would work in Brick Lane."

At ~$4.50 a bowl, they could probably find a kipper or a banger on a stick for that price, or a generic box of cereal that would yield 10+ servings.
I.Don’t. Get. It.
In a hipster community, hemp milk is probably a bestseller.
Although I understand what you’re saying, that still doesn’t explain jt to normal people.
They obviously survived the cereal famine in Ireland. You couldn’t get a bowl anywhere.
Good one!
Ah, I see. Well, the thing that’s got these protesters upset is that poorer people are being evicted - sometimes forcibly - from their homes because they can no longer afford them because of rising property prices due to outside investment and improvement of the surrounding area. I think gentrification and the lower crime and other positive effects that come with it is generally a good thing, but I can understand that it sucks to be forced out of your home through no fault of your own too.
All I know about cows, I learned watching Rawhide.
American agriculture has advanced since then, still some of your list does not seem correct?
It would be interesting to see how many protesters were “forced out of their homes” vs how many were your standard thugs with no real personal interest.
goat milk, camel milk, llama milk ...
My understanding is that most if not all of then were outside agitators.
Rent-a-Marxist-Mob.
“... as customers sheltered in the basement.”
I always shelter in the basement when someone’s about to set the house on fire.
