Costco has had a dramatic few months. First it changed its rotisserie chicken packaging, then it discontinued its fan-favorite chocolate chips and recently it issued a major egg recall. It’s safe to say shoppers have been on a rollercoaster.
But luckily, it’s not all bad news — two new additions to the store’s beloved bakery section are turning things around. Fans are excited about the sweet, decadent almond croissant and savory onion and cheese pinwheel that appeared earlier this month.
At first glance, the almond croissants resemble Costco’s discontinued danishes, but they’re taller, puffier and (some say) better. The sequel to the store’s classic butter croissants, this new pastry is flaky, filled with a sweet almond paste, topped with sliced almonds and dusted with powdered sugar. And, per Costco tradition, they’re huge.
The new croissants are of course offered at a great deal at just under $12 for a box of six, or about $2 each, especially compared to other bakery prices. Commenters on Costco’s subreddit are loving them, especially when warmed up for a few minutes in the air fryer.
As for the savory pinwheels, you’ll find them in the refrigerated case with the cheesecakes. The pastry itself is similar to a croissant, wrapped around a filling of caramelized onions and cheese and topped with everything bagel seasoning. Reddit commenters say the pinwheels are big, salty, crisp on the outside and gooey in the center.
Unlike the croissants, you’ll need to store them in the fridge when you get home and bake them for a few minutes before eating. Just like the croissants, you can buy a box of six for about $12, which customers say is great value for the quality you get.
So, if you’re craving a fun new breakfast or a sweet treat after dinner, make sure to swing by the bakery on your next Costco run. Whether you opt for sweet or savory (or both!), you really can’t go wrong.
