The Perfect Blend of Crisp and Soft: Twice-Baked Pistachio Croissants
Costco's bakery has upped its game with a new twist on the viral hit, twice-baked almond croissants. The latest creation features a vibrant green pistachio filling, adding a unique flavor profile to the classic pastry.

The pistachio flavor brings a surprising twist to the traditional croissant, making it a must-try for those seeking a unique breakfast experience.
Cheesecake Extravaganza: The Cheesecake Factory Grand Cheesecake Assortment
For cheesecake enthusiasts, Costco offers a dream come true with the Cheesecake Factory Grand Cheesecake Assortment. This variety pack includes four mouth-watering flavors: Key Lime, White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Banana Cream, and Strawberry-Topped Original. Each box provides three slices of each flavor, arranged in a three-pound pre-sliced cheesecake. At $18.99, this assortment is a steal, offering a taste of four different cheesecakes at a fraction of the cost of dining at The Cheesecake Factory. It's a perfect treat for those who can't decide on just one flavor and want to indulge in a bit of everything.
Light and Refreshing: Shrimp Ceviche
Costco's shrimp ceviche is a refreshing delight, packed with whole pieces of cooked shrimp, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime. The light and tangy flavor profile makes it an ideal summer meal. While the shrimp pieces could be smaller, a quick trim with kitchen shears solves the issue. Served with tortilla chips, this ceviche becomes a satisfying and easy-to-prepare summer dish. It's a great option for those seeking a healthy and flavorful meal without the hassle of complex cooking.
Feeding a Crowd with Style: Sandwich Party Platter
For summer picnics and beach days, Costco's sandwich party platter is a game-changer. This convenient platter includes 20 sandwiches in two varieties: chicken, salami, and Swiss, plus roast beef and cheddar. Accompanying the sandwiches is a tub of garlic aioli and a container of pickle chips, allowing for endless customization. At $50, the platter serves about 2.5 people, making it an excellent value for feeding a group. It's a hassle-free way to ensure everyone is well-fed and satisfied.
Portable Indulgence: Samlip Strawberry Full Moon Chiffon Cake
Samlip, a popular Korean bakery brand, has made its way to Costco, and the Strawberry Full Moon Chiffon Cakes are a must-try. These individually wrapped personal cakes are stuffed with a sweet and creamy strawberry-flavored center, reminiscent of strawberry Pocky or Pepero. The cakes are pillowy soft, moist, and just sweet enough, making them a perfect portable snack. Costco's exclusive offering of Samlip cakes is a delightful surprise for those seeking a unique and indulgent treat on the go.
Dubai-Inspired Indulgence: Häagen-Dazs Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream Bars
Häagen-Dazs has released a limited-time, Dubai-inspired chocolate ice cream bar, exclusively at Costco.
