The Cereal Spot is such a unique place! I was worried going there, as my husband had a dairy allergy. They offer two flavors of nondairy ice cream and they even had oatmilk (which is my husband’s favorite and most places do not offer this). They have so many cereal flavors as well and such unique combinations! We can’t wait to go back again!

One of the most unique ice cream shops in Buffalo. Great selection of cereals and several ice cream flavors, let your imagination go wild. Anyone with a sweet-tooth can come in early morning or right before bed. Your children will have fun picking all the toppings for the creation. My favorite desert was the Mason jar sundae !

What a unique place! Took my kids here and we were blown away with the variety of cereals to choose from. We tried a Mason jar sundae, a milkshake and even a taco. Everyone left happy and sugared up! The store is clean, the service was outstanding, and the decor is fun! This is a must go!

A very unique & interesting place. Had the Apple Pie milkshake, it was rich, thick and could taste apple jacks cereal all the way, would recommend. The cereal taco is a very interesting take on dessert.

Didn't actually get a bowl cereal when I went, but my friend had the Fruity Pebbles taco and it looked and tasted good (she let me try some). I ordered a slice of cake. It was a Cinnamon Toast crunch churros cake ($5) and it was yummy. I should have let it warm up a bit before eating it as it was in the cooler, but it was still good nonetheless. The place has a cool aesthetic and that alone is worth popping in to check out.

This is a great idea!!! So so many types of cereal...stuff that brought back memories and stuff I'd neither seen nor heard of!!! Very cool!!! Service was great and my daughter and the neighborhood girls loved every last bite!!! I had the mini pancakes combined with Captain Crunch, so good. I would recommend this place to anyone!!! I will definitely be back!!!

What a unique place! Neat atmosphere inside and a wide selection of cereal to choose from. We got the ice cream tacos which were very tasty, but a little on the pricey side ($6.25 for one). I recommend checking this place out if you want something a little different for a snack!

This is the most wonderful idea for a shop I have ever seen. Walking in you can expect to be greeted with a big smile and LOTS of options. 100+ kinds of cereal, 20+ kinds of icecream, 20+ types of milk, and 20+ toppings. The cashier describes the basics of what you can get then you can just expand and be creative from that point. Great spot and all age friendly! See you spoon!
