You know that saying, “If someone is vegan, they’ll definitely let you know”? Well, a vegan café owner has recently made headlines—not for their delicious dishes, but for an uproar involving a rather unexpected topic: a toddler’s bare behind. Yes, you read that correctly!
A customer named Lisa Thompson posted an eyebrow-raising review of the Imagine Vegan Café in Memphis, Tennessee. Surprisingly, her grievance didn’t stem from the menu selections, but from the sight of a naked child frolicking around during her meal. This wasn’t just any child, though; it was the owner’s little one, who apparently couldn’t resist displaying their rear end to all who dared to glance.
According to The Daily Quirk, Thompson expressed her discontent about being “treated” to a view of the toddler’s backside while trying to enjoy her food. “While I understand that kids can be unpredictable,” she wrote, “seeing a naked baby running around and bending over to show me its rear was a bit much. I wish I were exaggerating.” Sadly, we can only imagine the chaos that ensued.
The café owners, clearly feeling defensive, responded to Thompson’s review with a series of now-deleted comments. They took it personally, asserting that they would start naming and shaming customers who left negative feedback. “You won’t be welcome back at our establishment,” they declared, perhaps forgetting that health standards exist for a reason.

As expected, social media blew up with reactions, with friends sharing their own bizarre parenting stories under the hashtag #ButtGate. The owners continued to defend their stance, insisting it was all about standing up to online bullies.
One particularly eye-catching reply claimed that the child in question wasn’t fully potty trained—definitely not the ideal scenario when dining out. We can’t help but think that a layer of clothing is a reasonable request when it comes to mingling food and toddlers.
After the initial wave of commentary, the café issued a follow-up statement, only to retract it and eventually delete their entire Facebook presence. So, if you’re curious to see what the fuss is about, a trip to Memphis might be in order. Just be sure to keep an eye on your own plate.
In conclusion, this tale serves as a reminder of the sometimes bizarre intersections of parenting, food, and public spaces. Remember, unless you’re in someone’s home (and even then, maybe not), it’s best to keep the kids—and their butts—under wraps during mealtime.
