Many doctors and health professionals swear that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Some of us eat something for breakfast every day, while others -- for one reason or another -- skip it. It almost makes for a great snack. Who else hasn't indulged in a mixing bowl-sized portion of cereal at midnight once or twice in their lives? You can't have it at midnight, but there is a new cereal bar in Phoenix. Yes, this establishment's staple item is cereal.Josh Frigerio
Heather and Alex Ramon opened Crunch50 back in December 2016 in a shopping complex near 7th Street and Thunderbird Road. They serve nearly 50 varieties of cereal (technically, they offer 46) from major brands like Kellogg and General Mills.Josh Frigerio
The most popular cereal flavors shouldn't be that big of a surprise since they're intended for kids and are full of sugar! Heather says the top cereals are Fruity Pebbles, Reese's Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cinnabon, Smorz cereal.Josh Frigerio
Let's take a look at the different cereals you can try. They have nearly 50 options, and Heather says they'll adjust and rotate their selection throughout the year depending on customers' cravings.Josh Frigerio
It's not just cereal at Crunch50. They also serve waffles, yogurt parfaits, bagels, oatmeal and Cartel coffee.Josh Frigerio
Portion sizes are "small" and "large." They even have a toppings bar where you can add fruits and other treats to it for an additional fee. Weekend mornings are when the restaurant is at its busiest, says Heather, but it's open throughout the week, too. Hours are 7 a.m. 2 p.m. Josh Frigerio
Heather says her husband, who is an architect and helps construct new openings of fast-food restaurants, came up with the idea one morning. Twelve weeks later, Crunch50 opened its doors. They also have an arcade game and a variety of board games to keep you entertained. Heather says they want to be a place where anyone -- families, teenagers, kids -- can hang out and relax.Josh Frigerio
