I really like these bowls because they represent an actual portion size not like those crazy huge make America fat bowls that they sell at places like ******. They are approximately 9 or 10 oz which is more than enough for cereal and soup, though some of my friends have suggested that they are more like dessert bowls. The orange and white ones are very attractive but some of the color patches have spots in them that will not wash off, which is fine with me but might bother others. Overall I would definitely recommend these bowls.
