We had the good fortune of connecting with Tayler Walker and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tayler, is there something you believe many others might not?
One piece of conventional advice that I would say I disagree with would be, waiting until the timing is PERFECT for everything. Sometimes, you have to just DO it, as Nike would say.

Too many people get caught up in having the perfect credit score, business plan, launch, amount of savings, etc instead of just completing it! You will never have it all together as a new small business owner, that’s part of the entrepreneurial experience. What matters is getting your product in front of customers and SALES!

What should our readers know about your business?
Cereal and Cream is Atlanta’s Premier Cereal-Infused Ice Cream dessert truck! We sell cereal-infused ice cream desserts, milkshakes, bowls of cereal, and waffles. We have fully vegan products as well! We have a unique concept where the cereal is blended into ice cream to create the desserts of your dreams. We have over 50 different options that change as new cereals and candies come out!

What sets us apart from others is our concept and our commitment to giving great customer service. Our treats taste GREAT, period. None of our customer’s should be left unhappy from the experience. It’s our priority to make sure your dessert is great each time and that you received amazing customer service!

We have had all the lessons of being a new business, from starting just prior to the COVID-19 outbreak to having to replace our engine just one month after opening the truck. One lesson that I learned is to allow yourself grace and time in building a new business. You won’t know it all after the first day, first year, even the first ten years. Being open to different perspectives and continuing to learn is important.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Atlanta has everything, from the best brunch places, parks, festivals, nightlife, you name it! We would try a little bit of everything! The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My shoutout would have to go to GOD first, my support system, then the community. My support system is EVERYTHING to Cereal and Cream! I’m blessed to have a phenomenal group of friends from high school to graduate studies, my beloved sorority and sisters, Alpha Kappa Alpha, the black community, and the community of Atlanta, overall. Atlanta has shown such resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, and has truly supported small businesses as much as possible.

The real kudos belong to our customers, who are the best part of Cereal and Cream. They support by coming to the truck, posting and reposting our treats, leaving us great reviews, and telling their jobs, family, and friends about what we do!
