Shopping at Costco is often compared to a treasure hunt due to the variety and uniqueness of its offerings. The wholesale giant’s expansive warehouses house a diverse array of products ranging from exclusive grocery items to apparel and home goods. With a constant inventory refresh, customers frequently discover new products that become favorites.
Costco’s own Kirkland brand exemplifies this spirit of newness and discovery, as the brand continues to expand and includes some of Costco’s best-selling items. The Kirkland brand is recognized not only for its competitive pricing but also for its commitment to quality. All Kirkland products undergo rigorous testing before being made available to customers.
A new addition to Costco’s bakery section has recently garnered significant attention. Known for its impressive selection that includes bread, breakfast foods, and celebratory cakes, the bakery has introduced smaller Kirkland Signature muffins in response to customer feedback about the previous size being too large. Additionally, new items like the brown butter sugar cookie and a supersized, warm chocolate chip cookie have been added to the offerings.
The most recent bakery highlight is the Kirkland Signature Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake, which has been well received. Weighing in at approximately four-and-a-half pounds, this dessert features a graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake filling, strawberry layer, and streusel topping, which is reminiscent of the bakery’s popular pumpkin muffins. The new cheesecake has been praised in online forums, although some customers have raised concerns about its $22.99 price, considering it somewhat high for Costco.
Despite the pricing concerns, the cheesecake has been well-received, though its availability may be limited due to Costco’s practice of rotating its seasonal bakery products. The strawberry cheesecake may make way for other seasonal offerings, such as the lemon meringue cheesecake typically available in the summertime.
