These Are Shoppers' 10 Favorite Foods From Costco's Bakery

There are lots of good reasons to swing by your local Costco, and 2026 has been a great year so far for hot items. Once we are over the store's threshold, our senses are pitched into overdrive, especially by the mouthwatering offerings from the bakery section. The food court and rotisserie chicken may be where it's at for some, but it's a brave soul who can pass the bakery display without their resolve crumbling like the proverbial cookie.

Fresh-from-the-oven breads that beg to be squeezed, giant cheesecakes for parties but which we resent sharing (or is that just us?), and cookies by the dozen that melt in the mouth, are a fraction of what's on offer. Despite the array of goodies, customers clearly have their runaway favorites. We scoured online reviews to find out what they were. Keep in mind that prices and availability may vary by location. How many of these Costco bakery favorites would end up in your cart?

There aren't many Costco items whose popularity is measured by funny social media exchanges, but the chocolate hazelnut-filled mini beignets are very much one. This Reddit thread is a prime example. It includes the comment "They freeze well," and the witty response: "Not if you eat them all," as well as a poem apologizing for scarfing the treats while frozen. "They were delicious / so sweet / and so cold," wrote one William Costco Williams.

Made with just two ingredients, you would be forgiven for wondering what makes Costco's combination of wheat flour and extra virgin olive oil so special? The price is a good start, at just $7.93 for a pack of nine, but the flexibility of Kirkland Signature pita bread is another reason customers can't get enough. Whether they're toasted in the air fryer, pulled through a gas flame, or heated in the microwave, they're simple and delicious.

"These are at the top of our do not buy list. And not because they're bad," quipped one Redditor about Kirkland Signature Danish pastries. Baked goods snobs might suggest they're not a patch on artisanal products but when Costco's are this good, who cares where they come from? You can mix and match two different fillings — almond, cherry, or cream cheese — and they are ideal for freezing, prolonging the pastry pleasure.

Science tells us that whole grain bread makes the best grilled cheese, but shoppers have gone bananas for Costco's artisanal-style loaf, the Kirkland Signature Cranberry Walnut round bread. There's no shortage of fruit and nuts scattered in this bread, and while some customers would prefer it pre-sliced, the majority of people love it. Serving suggestions include toasting and slathering it with cream cheese, pairing it with cheese on a chic charcuterie board from Costco, or just spreading it with butter.

No run-down of shoppers' Costco bakery faves would be complete without a tip of the hat to the epic Kirkland Signature 10" White Cake with Vanilla Mousse. It's name is a bit of a mouthful but for a fraction over $20, customers who buy one could care less. "That is SUCH A GOOD CAKE," literally shouted one Facebook commenter, while another pleasantly surprised buyer admitted: "I'm not a huge fan of white cake, but this is perfectly moist and delicious."

With its deeply golden crust and pillow-soft, fragrantly herbal interior, is there anything not to love about the Kirkland Signature Rosemary Parmesan bread? This YouTuber urged people to run to their local Costco to get some before making a grilled cheese with it, while others on social media said their families were "in love" with the bread and would devour entire loaves in a single sitting.

You can always get your hands on a tasty croissant at Costco (we've got a trick for reviving stale ones), but customers love it when they play around with this bakery staple. The latest smash hit is the Blueberry Caramelized Cheesecake Croissant, and shoppers can't get enough — though some try to exercise a little self control. One person explained on Reddit how they would: "eat one half, then eat the other half five minutes later," while others warned it was impossible to have just one.

"I am no longer allowed to bring these home," said one mournful Reddit commenter about the Kirkland Signature Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf, to which someone responded: "So, now you finish it in the car before you get there?" Other shoppers shared the love for this buttery, sweet treat, variously described as "fantastic" and "delicious." Some recommended warming it in the microwave before adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream, while another buyer admitted they "tried freezing half, but then I unfroze it to finish it. I can never buy it again."

If Costco's Kirkland Signature Strawberry Cream Pie has been a let down for some customers, the same cannot be said for the Kirkland Signature Strawberries and Cream. Yes, it's a simple blend of three ingredients, cream, graham crackers, and two layers of fresh fruit, but boy oh boy, does it ever hit the spot. Buyers relished the balance of sweet and tart, and while some took issue with the $14.99 price tag, overall this creamy, bakery delight got a big thumbs up.

From a distance, they might look like cinnamon rolls but one whiff of the Kirkland Signature Garlic Parmesan dinner rolls, and there's no doubt you're in for a savory treat. Shoppers were quick to note the huge amount of butter that comes with these things, while others were delighted by the crunchy texture on the top and bottom. One customer (who also bought up two cases of ice cream sandwiches) gleefully posted: "This is still the unhealthiest thing in my cart. I can't wait for dinner tonight."
