There’s a growing trend of pet-friendly cafés, where dogs are not just allowed but celebrated. And for some pups, a café visit is serious business. One viral video of a Golden Retriever, Millie, in New York recently showed us that a dog’s love for pup cups is as real as any coffee addiction.
Store opens early exclusively for Golden Retriever in video
Millie, a Golden Retriever from Manhattan’s Upper East Side, recently stole the spotlight at the iconic Parisian-style café, Angelina. In a video shared online, the dog is seen arriving early in the morning with her owner during a neighborhood walk. She waits patiently by the café door, but her excitement quickly becomes clear as she starts pawing at the glass, eager for the morning’s special treat.
The café staff went out of their way, opening early to ensure Millie got her full “VIP” treatment. One server carefully carries a pup cup straight to her, and her owner fondly calls her a “very important pup.” From the moment she steps inside, Millie is treated like royalty. She dives into her pup cup with delight, savoring every drop, while the staff looks on, smiling at her obvious enjoyment.
As of now, the video has received 4.5 million views and over 169K likes, with comments pouring in from people charmed by the scene. “Now I want to check out the Angelina Cafe too!” one excited fan wrote, inspired by Millie’s special treatment. Another added, “What a perfect way to start your day seeing this cutie waiting for you with her nose pressed to the door.” Many also appreciated the staff’s preparation, with one noting, “My fave bit is that the guy was ready for her.”
Next time you take your pup for a stroll, make it special and treat them like the Very Important Pup they are!
