Starbucks fans in the UK can finally get their hands on the viral Bearista coffee cup, which launched in stores on 15 January. The teddy bear-shaped tumbler became a sensation in the US last November, selling out within hours and prompting the coffee chain to apologise for the limited stock.
The cup features a green woolly beanie with the Starbucks logo, an adorable teddy bear design, and a green and white striped straw. Starbucks teased the launch on Instagram with the caption: "This is not a drill... see you 15.01".
To avoid a repeat of the US chaos, Starbucks has implemented a strict one-cup-per-person rule. The cup is priced at £27.99, according to social media reports, though the official price has not been confirmed.
Fans have expressed excitement on Instagram, with comments such as "I can’t believe we’re getting them too!!" and "I’ve set my reminder…i’ll be there". However, some shoppers are sceptical about stock levels and the price, with one user commenting: "As much as I’d like one, I just cba if it’s going to cause a riot."
