Poop Café — Restaurant in Toronto

Been wanting to visit this place since it opened. But there was always something that prevented me from coming whether it be the long lines or my friends not wanting to come because it's unappetizing to eat and drink from toilet bowls and urinals. Finally had the time to get around to visiting this dessert shop.

First let's start off with the entrance. The place seemed very unorganized and the people were not too friendly. When we first entered no one greeted us even though they knew we were standing at the door. We did not know what was going on. However, when a group of white people entered they were greeted and were told that there was a signup sheet. Like rude.. are you not supposed to inform us.. Things started off pretty bad already.

Once we were seated they brought water and menus pretty quick. But they never gave us any tissue at all. The menu offers a variety of Korean bingsu, Thai rolled ice cream, Taiwanese shaved ice, milkshakes and etc. All priced around $8-10

The desserts are decently priced I guess. Not that cheap but not too expensive. As for the quality of dessert. It was blah. Not recommended. We got the matcha bingsu and the strawberry bingsu ($9.50). Presentation was nice. The matcha ice cream on the matcha bingsu was ok. Pretty good. It was topped with cornflakes and pocky. Felt like there was too much cornflakes which kinda killed the taste of the bingsu. As for the strawberry one, the strawberries on top were fresh but sour. The ice cream on top was bad. I believe it was supposed to be vanilla but for some reason it tasted like a subtle mint flavour. Did not like this and it did not complement the dessert well. As for the bingsu (Korean snow ice) at the bottom of the toilet bowl. The bingsu was too icy. It was not fine enough and you are able to taste all the ice bits. Felt like it was poorly made compared to other places that serves Korean bingsu. Not authentic. It's supposed to be fluffy and taste like snow and melt easily in your mouth. But this one did not. Moreover, the desserts were missing like half the stuff mentioned on the menu. The strawberry one was missing cornflakes, and condensed milk. The matcha one was missing almonds and honey bear cookies. I feel like they shouldn't advertise for that many items in the dessert if they are not able to make it accordingly. Extremely disappointing. They should reduce their menu and specialize in a few different desserts rather than try to cover everything. This way the quality of the desserts would be better.

As for cleanliness. This place rates pretty low. The place isn't really dirty environment wise but their utensils...bowls and spoons are not clean. The spoons were left in a box next to the table and there was dirty spoons that have stuff stuck on them or they were sticky. There was also crumbs inside the box... gross

When they brought the desserts the bowls were sticky and wet. There would be a trail of ice cream when you move the desserts . There was also dried chocolate on my toilet bowl even though my dessert doesn't have chocolate of any kind in it. It was really noticeable because my bowl was white. I'm very concerned with the sanitation of this dessert shop as their items are so poorly cleaned. Wonder how clean their kitchen would be then..

Additionally, there was chocolate smudge on the lights switch in the washroom.

As for the interior is nicely decorated with the pooped theme decor. Everything related to the theme. Some of the seats are toilets whereas others are benches. The dining area is located on an upper floor. It's not wheelchair friendly. People with wheelchairs will have difficulty getting up the stairs and dining here. The washroom is located on the upper floor. There's no hot water running in the sinks only cold water. Which is weird..

Overall, not worth the hype. Not worth your money. Poor quality of dessert and unsanitary dishes and utensils. Probably one of the worst dessert places...

I went here already once but just thought I ordered something I didn't like out of luck so I went back in hopes of redeeming my first visit.

Honestly the whole cafe decor is pretty exciting since it has a niche/novelty thing going on. There are great signage and decor and you even get to sit on toilet seats. Most of the plating has a toilet bowl or sink as their dish. Overall it's cute.

One actual complaint I have is that both times I went, the washroom, which is unisex and 1 washroom, ironically actually smelled like poo. Like it was very strong, idk if they wanted to keep up with the novelty in there as well but it was really bad.

However once you pass the novelty of the washroom theme, overall the food wasn't that great. First time I went my gf and I got the nutella, oreos bingsu and the poop waffles.

The bingsu wasn't that great. The best part of it I guess is just the one scoop of icecream, other than that, it sits on top of shaved ice that didn't really taste like anything and surrounded by some chocolate pieces and cornflakes cereal. Once you get to the end, it's basically just watery and not appetizing. The waffles during this first visit were actually okay, but just okay

The second time we went we just got the holy milkshake that looks like a very instagrammable foodie pic. But the milkshake toppings were just cheap and overall was just diabetes in a jar. The cotton candy is just cotton candy, there was cereal bars on sticks for show (basically fruit loops bar and Reese's Pieces cereal bar), there was also dollar store rainbow candy, a donut that could've came from Timmies and 2 pretzels covered in punk chocolate that didn't taste that great. For the milkshake itself, it did not taste like anything at all. What we did was that on the side of the jar, we put these pop rock like things in just to have taste.

Overall this milkshake is just for show and doesn't taste good at all. It was also $15 and not worth it.

This will probably be the last time I come back here, it's just a novelty cafe and you can get better...

Came here 3 times. On all 3 times the place has been renovated and slowly but surely getting worse. From the decor, to the service, food, everything. There are no decorations anymore, just a few of the toilet seats are left, repainted, dirty. The service is terrible, we waited for 20 min just to get someone to say hi, eventually I just took the menu of another table so that the kid can decide what to eat. I had to come to the bar to order everything myself. The “bubble teas” don’t have tapioca. Even tho the pics on the menu show that they do. I asked for an espresso (they have an espresso machine). The server told me that she doesn’t know how to make an espresso, maybe I would like a latte or americano. I politely told her to make the coffee as if she was making an americano and just don’t make any other next steps (ergo don’t add extra water) took a long time for her to understand but she said ok. Got my coffee back and it was an americano. I am unsure how can this be called a “cafe” if you don’t know what an espresso is but you serve only espresso machine drinks. Also, they had no sugar, they had only Splenda. Shocking honestly. The menu is 2% of the one they had. The waffle was simply ok, had more other stuff on the plate than waffles. Again, if I wanted brownies, I’d order them, I ordered waffles, yet my plate had more brownies and whipped cream than waffles. Anyhow, neither the drink nor the food came before 30 min of wait (before you ask, there were only 2 other tables already eating/ finishing up eating so no, it was not busy). Also, had to go get my own cutlery. Overall terrible experience, the child who made me drive for 30 min to get here because she liked the place 5 years ago is now very certain she never wants to return here. So there ya go, if love to get my money back (and time) but I think this comment...
