Starbucks’ Pink Bearista Glass Cold Cup Is Back, and It’s Ready to Cause a Summer Frenzy
Category: Lifestyle / Food & Drink / Coffee Culture
Starbucks is turning up the cute factor this summer with a collectible that’s already generating serious buzz: the Pink Bearista Glass Cold Cup.
Inspired by the internet’s obsession with the Pink Drink, this limited-edition release is the follow-up to the winter Bearista cup that sold out almost as soon as it hit shelves.
The new version keeps everything fans loved about the original and adds a bright, summer-ready twist. It’s a 20-ounce hand-blown clear glass tumbler shaped like an adorable teddy bear, complete with a white dad-style baseball cap featuring pink Starbucks lettering. To finish the look, the cup comes with a pink straw and a silicone strawberry straw topper — because apparently, this cup didn’t just want to be cute, it wanted to be irresistible.

When it drops
If you’re hoping to get one, timing is everything.
- July 9, 2026: Early access opens online for eligible Starbucks Rewards Reserve members and Starbucks partners through the official Starbucks Shop.
- July 13, 2026: The cup launches for the general public at select Starbucks coffeehouses across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East.
And yes, if the winter Bearista craze taught collectors anything, it’s that these cups tend to disappear fast.
Why everyone is talking about it
Part of the appeal is the timing. The cup taps into the ongoing popularity of Starbucks’ Pink Drink, turning a fan-favorite beverage into a wearable, collectible-worthy piece of summer merch. It’s playful, photogenic, and exactly the kind of item that tends to light up social media within minutes of release.
Starbucks collectors already know the pattern: limited quantities, high demand, and lines that form early. Stores are expected to receive only a small number of units, so this is likely to be a race from the moment the drop goes live.
Purchase limit and price
To help curb reselling, Starbucks is expected to enforce a two-item limit per customer.
Official pricing has not been confirmed yet, but the previous Bearista release retailed for $29.95, which gives fans a rough idea of what to expect.
The bottom line
The Pink Bearista Glass Cold Cup is shaping up to be one of Starbucks’ most talked-about summer collectibles. Between the teddy bear design, the strawberry straw topper, and the limited release window, this is exactly the kind of merch drop that gets fans checking their clocks and refreshing pages.
If you want one, the best strategy is simple: be ready early, act fast, and don’t wait for the second chance — because there probably won’t be one.
