Ddong Café

For those of you who don’t know Korean, ddong is the Korean word for poop. Yup, a poo-themed café exists in Seoul! Before you get grossed out, there is nothing remotely related to feces apart from the shape of the mugs and plates and decorations- so don’t be disgusted!

The drinks and food are served in toilet-shaped mugs and plates, and there are little decorations throughout the café that follow this theme like ddong-shaped cushions and planters.

Directions:

This ddong café is located in Insadong, at the top of the Ssamziegil Complex. Take line 3 to Anguk Station, and take exit #5 to Insadong. Once you come out of the subway exit, walk straight and turn left into Insadong. Walk down the street and you will see Ssamziegil Complex.
