FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - There was a frenzy at a Starbucks in Fresno early Thursday morning after the national coffee chain officially launched its "Bearista" cups.

Hopeful customers were lined up at around 4 a.m. at the Starbucks at 7658 N Blackstone Avenue, hoping to get one of the "Bearista" cups. However, one of those in line told YourCentralValley.com that the store had only five cups available and quickly sold out.

The bear-shaped glass cups were swept off the shelf within minutes of opening, leaving many customers empty-handed.

For those lucky enough to buy one of the "Bearista" cups, the glass cup comes with a straw and is shaped like a teddy bear with a green Starbucks stocking cap on its head.

The cup holds 20 ounces of drink and retails for $30 each.
