Sick of Starbucks? This poop-themed café in South Korea may be for you.

Latest

Starbucks has quite thoroughly invaded the coffee scenes in North America and beyond, but this coffeeshop in Seoul, South Korea has a taste and look you’re probably never going to get Stateside: poop.

LEXI, an American-born photographer living in Seoul recently stumbled upon the Ddo-ong Café (또옹카페) located in the Ssamziegil shopping center. Like many cafés, Ddo-ong has become a hotspot for people looking to relax, study, and meet up with friends over a hot cup of coffee. It’s just that the coffee here is often served in mugs shaped like toilets.

“To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the normality of it all,” LEXI lamented in her blog. “I suppose I was hoping for more of a shock factor.”

Apparently, the toilet mugs are only available upon request and only for people purchasing hot drinks like lattes. Drinks aside, the cafe offers a wide assortment of poop-shaped pastries filled with red bean paste, chocolate, or hazelnut cream.
