Haute LA Trend: 8 Must-Try Artisanal Cereal Treats
It’s been said that Trix isn’t just for kids, but that should go for all cereal. The statement is true enough in Los Angeles right now, at least, where cereal-inspired and adapted fare is a current haute trend.
Here, we share some of the hottest cereal dishes on the menu at some of the hautest L.A. menus.
- Pie Hole (Locations in Pasadena, the Arts District and Hollywood): Cereal Killer Cheesecake: A Fruity Pebbles cheesecake with a Nilla Wafer crust topped with Frosted Flakes. Oh.my.god.
- Rori’s Artisanal Creamery: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Ice Cream: A rich and creamy ice cream confection, topped with bits of this delicious cinnamon cereal.
- Leona (123 W Washington Blvd, Venice,(310) 822-5379): Adult Frosted Flakes: A bowl of brown-rice pudding laced with dark rum and top-layered with cereal.
- Ridges Churro Bar: Fruity Pebbles Churro. Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like—a churro rolled in fruity pebble greatness from the innovative churro food truck.
- Nighthawk (1638 N Las Palmas Ave, Los Angeles): This late night breakfast-only bar serves up spiked cereal milk cocktails. You’ll have to taste them yourself to see just how addictive they are.
- Atticus (10893 W Pico Blvd, Los Angeles,(310 474 7464) and at The Grove, 6015 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, (323 934 7890): This sweet shop offers up cereal and milk ice cream. Noms.

- Plan Check (Locations on Sawtelle, Wilshire and Fairfax with Santa Monica opening soon): Plan Check offers two cereal milk-made desserts: a parfait and doughnut. The parfait is layered with the whipped milk and topped with cornflake granola and a small scoop of blackberry sorbet, while the doughnut is glazed in cereal milk and encrusted with Crunch Berry cereal or Corn Flakes (if you have a super sweet tooth, we recommend the former).
