\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe famous teddy bear latte in all its glory\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Hank Vaughn<\/p>\n

By now, you\u2019ve probably seen the viral Starbucks holiday cup \u2014 the un-bear-ably cute tumbler with tiny ears and a hat everyone and their barista\u2019s cousin has been posting about. This season\u2019s Labubu<\/a>, which sold out in minutes, is reselling for $500 online<\/a>, and sparked physical altercations<\/a> between customers (Black Friday foreshadowing or PTSD, anyone?).<\/p>\n

Creative crafters could easily DIY their own from a honey bottle or snag a dupe for under $5 from your choice of sketchy overseas e-tailers. But if that\u2019s not your vibe, before you start shelling out resale prices that could fund a month\u2019s worth of lattes, maybe skip the corporate caffeine. There are plenty of local spots serving up their own beary cute creations, especially in a month when we\u2019re feeling extra thankful for our community. <\/p>\n

Jubilee Caf\u00e9 \u2014 The Teddy Bear Latte<\/strong>
1060 W. Frankford Road
A viral sensation a few years back, the chocolatier-turned-dessert shop leaned into the Instagrammable cute craze with its Teddy Bear Latte<\/a> (see photo at top), a frozen coffee bear floating in a mug of iced milk. Served with a side of espresso, it\u2019s essentially a DIY drink that\u2019s both satisfying and slightly heartbreaking. Just make sure to snap the photos before your drinkable companion melts \u00e0 la Wicked Witch of the West.<\/p>\n

Vanilla & Honey Espresso \u2014 Bear Cups<\/strong>
4004 Denton Highway
This tiny drive-through coffee shop<\/a> in Haltom City has turned cute cups into a small-biz flex. Snag a bear for $5 extra and sip on any of their seasonal faves like Gingerbread Chai or Pumpkin Butter Lattes. Or opt for their light bulb cup if you\u2019re feeling extra smart for skipping the trap of corporate merch.<\/p>\n

Okaeri Cafe \u2014 Panda Rice Kids Meal<\/strong>
312 N. Greenville Ave
One of our favorite Japanese caf\u00e9s<\/a> since opening post-pandemic, this Richardson spot quickly earned a cult following for its traditional sit-on-the-floor dining and adorable rice pandas. Technically, they\u2019re on the kids\u2019 menu as part of a teriyaki or katsu nugget meal, but no one seems to mind when the kids at heart can\u2019t resist ordering one too.<\/p>\n

\"BobaBoba Bear at R&B Garland<\/p>\n

R&B Tea Garland \u2014 Bear Bottle Bubble Teas<\/strong>
4570 N. Jupiter Road
This Garland boba spot<\/a>\u00a0has<\/a>\u00a0been doing the viral bear cup thing long before it went viral. For just $2 more, you can get any drink in a 700 ml bear-shaped bottle \u2014 no chaos, no lines. Offering a variety of milk and fruit teas, some of the most popular choices are the Stormy Series, which includes a cream cheese swirl around colorful creations like purple taro and green matcha. And as cute as they are, cupholder compatibility apparently wasn\u2019t part of the design brief, which makes the drive home rather awkward. Consider yourself warned.<\/p>\n

\"DessertsThese desserts at Eiswelt are almost too cute to eat.<\/p>\n

Eiswelt Gelato \u2014 Character Gelato<\/strong>
3044 Old Denton Road
Serving up sculpted character magic in Carrollton, Eiswelt\u2019s gelato<\/a> creations are a true work of art. Each scoop is hand-molded in minutes before your eyes into everything from seasonal trends like Labubus to longtime favorites like corgi butts, unicorns, and yes, even teddy bears (which come with three flavor choices!).<\/p>\n

\"aThis tiny teddy packs a punch.<\/p>\n

Liuyishou Hot Pot \u2014Tallow Teddy Bear<\/strong>
2001 Coit Road
Even hot pot<\/a> is getting the bear treatment. Part of their special spicy soup, the tallow teddy bear sits in your broth and melts into savory perfection, which is part meal, part performance art. It\u2019s the kind of thing that makes you want to forgo boring old seasoning packets forever.<\/p>\n

Haidilao Hot Pot \u2014 Dining Solo? Not Anymore.<\/strong>
9244 Prestmont Place
Haidilao Hot Pot allegedly enhances<\/a> the solo dining experience by seating you with a life-sized teddy bear. Think Carrie in the And Just Like That finale, but with soup and side-eye. Adorable or unhinged? Jury\u2019s out. Their phone doesn\u2019t work (of course), so has anyone actually witnessed this?<\/p>\n
