Usually when one thinks of poop, the last word that comes to mind is appetizing, but a new café in Toronto wants to change that.

Lien Nguyen, owner of the Poop Café Dessert Bar, told the Toronto Star that she’s “trying to make poop cute.”

The Toronto Star reported that she was introduced to the concept a few years ago when she visited Modern Toilet, a toilet-themed restaurant in Taiwan.

Surprisingly, Modern Toilet and Poop Café Dessert Bar aren’t the only two toilet or fecal-themed restaurants out there.

Moscow’s Crazy Toilet Café is complete with fecal and toilet-inspired décor, and the Ddong Café – which translates to Poop Café – in Seoul serves its coffees and desserts in little toilet-shaped plates. Other restaurants with similar themes are found in Japan, Philippines, China and Indonesia, according to the Toronto Star.

Toronto’s new Poop Café will feature a “unique selection of desserts from around the world,” according to a Facebook post from the café’s profile. While the restaurant will serve dishes that are brown and shaped like poop (kind of like the poop emoji), not every dish will look like feces.

In a Facebook post, Nguyen stressed that the most important aspect of the restaurant is the quality of the food and that the café’s poop theme has “nothing to do with real poop.”

“I just wanted to make people feel happy like a little joke,” she wrote in the post.

Taiwanese shaved ice cream and Hong Kong waffles, also known as egg waffles, will be featured on the menu, according to the café’s Facebook page. The Toronto Star reported that the café will serve patbingsoo, a Korean dessert made with red beans and shaved ice.

The restaurant is expected to open in mid-August, according to the Toronto Star.
