A few steps away from the hustle and bustle of the Grand-Rue is a café with the evocative name “Cereal Lovers.” From the outside, the pastel pink and beige tones of the place have a soothing effect. A smile and a cheerful hello from the barista behind the counter will convince you that you’ve arrived at the right place. Opened in 2018, this coffee shop was the brainchild of two friends who wanted to create a place where you could find excellent coffee, tea, and an all-day breakfast menu. At the heart of the concept is cereals! Made according to recipes developed with nutritionists, the “Cereal Lovers” muesli is organic and healthy.
This place has built up a loyal clientele over the last few years, thanks to their concern for doing things right, which you can feel at once when you step inside. “We wanted to develop a brand with a vision: that of offering very good quality products in a place where it is pleasant to take a break.” From the careful selection of products to the design of the tableware, nothing is left to chance. Their collaboration with companies like Ichendorf, a Milanese design brand, has developed into a real relationship with trips to Italy, essential for the owners to get to know their partners’ working philosophy.
They chose to collaborate with Mokxa, a French roasting company known for the exquisite flavors of their coffees and the close relationship with the specialty coffee farmers who demonstrate their unique know-how. The tea is from the Berlin brand P&T, which combines goodness with organic and natural ingredients and a special design of their boxes. On the food side, beyond the mueslis, you can devour cereal bars, yoghurts that you can mix together yourself and cakes baked by a small bakery in the north of the Grand Duchy according to original recipes developed by the Cereal Lovers team. At lunchtime, seasonal soups and homemade bagels (some vegan) will satisfy the busy worker. We love their salmon bagel! Inside, the regulars sip their cup of cappuccino sitting on high stools along the windows. With friends or family, take a break on their terrace on Place des Capucins. As soon as the cold weather sets in, sofas are set up where you can snuggle up in cosy blankets. In December, a mini-Christmas market warms passers-by with hot cider or homemade pumpkin spice latte. Ideal for escaping the Christmas shopping madness and taking your time. Enjoy it as much as you can.
