"Baristas Coffee Creations" Ice Cream Being Distributed in The Puget Sound

SEATTLE, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (OTCPK: BCCI), a fast growing U.S. based beverage and branded products company, announced today that its newly created ice cream bars are being warehoused and distributed by Puget Sound Dairy Distributors, Inc., in the greater Seattle area.

Puget Sound Dairy Distributors, Inc. (PSD) already carries other ice cream novelty brands such as Ben & Jerry's, Klondike, Good Humor, Oreo, Snickers, La Michoacana, and Popsicle.  Under the arrangement, PSD currently warehouses and delivers "Baristas Coffee Creations" and other Dairy products to all of the Baristas Coffee locations in the region and will be expanding its distribution to additional locations as well.

Commenting on the distribution agreement, Baristas CEO Barry Henthorn expressed, "Having a local partner to house and distribute our ice cream products was an important step in expanding the availability of our premium ice cream product to the public in our home region.  We can now focus on the promotion and expansion of the product having worked through the logistical details of shipping, warehousing, and delivery of this truly unique confection. The ice cream has already contributed to our revenues and bottom line and this proven relationship will aid us in increasing sales and availability.  It has also allowed us to work out our process which has helped with our negotiations with additional distributors locally and other regions."

About Baristas Coffee Creations:  "Baristas Coffee Creations" is an indulgent collection of coffee ice cream, featuring classic flavors like "Caramel Cappuccino" and new specialty creations like "Coconut Cafe Latte". "Caramel Cappuccino", a caramel swirled coffee ice cream enrobed in dark chocolate, and "Coconut Cafe Latte", a coconut swirled coffee ice cream enrobed in dark chocolate, are both currently available in four pack boxes.  These two new ice cream bars are the focus of the launch this year.

About Baristas Coffee Company (BCCI): Headquarter based in the Seattle, Washington area, Baristas Coffee Company, Inc., was formed to create a national brand of drive-thru espresso stands. BCCI is accomplishing this by acquiring established businesses that fit its model, opening new locations, and by franchising. Baristas has separated itself from the competition with its "theme" of joining attractive female baristas in entertaining costumes preparing the finest beverages available on the market. Baristas can currently be found in six greater Seattle area locations as well as in, Florida, Arizona, and Montana coming very soon in your state!  Baristas currently trades publicly on the OTC:PK market under the symbol OTCPK:BCCI and has made formal application to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol "BAPI."
