Believe it or not, there’s a cafe in Seoul, South Korea that has poop as its central theme. From the outside, Poop Cafe looks perfectly normal but when it comes to service, everything comes with a toilet twist.
Coffee and tea, for instance, are served in adorable little toilet
bowl-shaped cups. The foam art on the lattes are poop-shaped, as are the throw
pillows and cushions that decorate the shop. Poop shaped scones are served with
jam in a toilet bowl and the cups have cute poop faces on them too.
Lexi, a blogger at Seoul Searching, wrote: “Inside, the cafe is surprisingly
normal. Despite the ordinary interior, I began to find these quirky poop hidden
treasures.
A few squat toilets that had been turned into mini gardens occupied
some floor space, porcelain cups with poops painted on them lined the shelves
and colorful plush coils of ‘poop’ could be found on the tables, chairs, and in
little nooks and crannies.”
She added that the toilet coffee mugs are available on
request only for hot drinks, which makes sense because they aren’t too
convenient to drink out of. She told Mashable that she particularly adores the
chocolate-filled poop bread that’s sold at a stand right outside the cafe.
According to British expat Ken Kum Lee, who blogs at Seoul
State of Mind, Poop Cafe is actually not much of a shocker for Korean
standards. “I would say the ‘cute poop’ theme is very popular throughout Asia,”
he told Mashable. “I wouldn’t say it’s pushing boundaries. I think
it’s just the difference in culture.” He added that Korean youth love poop
jokes and references.
So there you have it...straight from the horse's behind! Don't think I'd make a special trip over there to try it out though, would you?
See ya, eh!
