📰 Goat Walks Into Starbucks and Starts Chewing Boxes Instead of Coffee

April 4, 2016 — Rohnert Park, California

Starbucks employees are used to serving customers looking for coffee, but one unexpected visitor had something entirely different in mind.

Early one morning, a loose goat named Milly wandered into a Starbucks in Rohnert Park after escaping from a nearby home. Instead of showing any interest in the coffee machines or customers, the curious goat calmly explored the café like it owned the place.

Employees tried to lure Milly outside with a banana, assuming it would be the perfect snack to tempt the hungry animal. Surprisingly, the goat ignored the banana completely.

Instead, Milly found something much more interesting—a cardboard box.

Witnesses watched in amusement as the goat happily chewed on the box while customers pulled out their phones to record the bizarre encounter. The unusual scene quickly spread across social media, with many joking that Milly had stopped by for a “paper latte” instead of a coffee.

Fortunately, the café had not yet opened for business, so no customers or employees were injured during the surprise visit.

Local public safety officers soon arrived and safely escorted the runaway goat to an animal shelter. Not long afterward, Milly’s owner came to collect her and take her back home.

Although the visit lasted only a short time, Milly’s unexpected coffee shop adventure became one of the internet’s favorite animal stories, proving that sometimes the funniest customers aren’t human at all.
