The whole hipster concept has become so popular these days, even restaurants are trying to do it. Unfortunately, being hipster isn't that easy and just one thing gone wrong can make you easily go from hipster to complete disaster.

Below, Bored Panda has put together a list of hipster restaurants that went way too far with food serving. From serving food in a shoe to serving coffee in a carrot - some of these "hipster" ideas are so ridiculous, it's hilarious! Keep on scrolling to take a look and don't forget to vote for your favorites.

This one made laugh, actually. It's like when a kid asks mom for some, say, lemonade, and she, annoyed and tired, shows the kid where the lemons are, indicating the "do it yourself" message.

That's how they did it in the Philippine Islands, only hold the ice (water wasn't clean). The shops kept the bottkes for the deposit money.

I've seen this in Mexico. The vendors will pour soda out of glass bottles and into these little bags with straws to give customers so they can exchange the glass for money. Pretty smart.

This is actually how i received most drinks in Nicaragua when i went! Milk, juice, water and some sodas ( because you weren't allowed to throw away or take the glass bottles with you). not the worse one on here :)

this reminds me of these rum drinks that came in little plastic buckets i used to get when i was in my early 20s, near the dock my dad had his little fishing boat at. so because of the bucket you could take them to go with you on the boats and they were intended for three people. i had like... three and almost fell off the bow... good times
