BARCELONA, Spain – Travellers wandering European cities in search of old-world charm might just as likely stumble upon a bowl of Lucky Charms.
Cafes serving American breakfast cereal have exploded in popularity in Europe. Customers will pay between $3 and $9 a bowl.
Cafes have opened in London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, Berlin, Hamburg, Manchester and many other cities.
There’s no single model for the cafes, but they tend to offer at least 100 brands, dozens of fruit and candy toppings, sweet syrups, and several kinds of milk, including nondairy and flavoured varieties. A classic bowl with milk is still standard. But they’re often topped with combinations of syrup, sweets and ice cream that go far beyond what most Americans would recognize as a breakfast banana sliced over Corn Flakes.
