The 11 Best Aldi Breakfast Foods You Can Find In The Freezer Aisle, According To Customer Reviews

If, like Winnie the Pooh, you wake up every morning asking yourself "What's for breakfast?," you're not alone. Breakfast is such an important part of each day, and we all have different approaches to this foundational meal. The busy parent scrambles to make something kids will actually eat, and that is possible to whip up without spending hours they don't have slaving over a kitchen stove. The non-morning people are lucky to grab a cold Pop Tart on the way out the door, unwrapping and inhaling it en route to the office. The list goes on, pointing people who want and need an easy breakfast option that actually tastes good toward the frozen food section of their favorite grocery store, which, for many, is the nearest Aldi. 

Customers may be surprised to learn just how many excellent breakfast options there are in the Aldi freezer aisle. Before you pooh-pooh the idea, take a cue from Pooh, and open your horizons to something new and exciting that could happen to you, by way of a frozen Aldi breakfast food. We've done general roundups of the best new Aldi food releases before, but here are the 11 top Aldi frozen breakfast food finds according to customer reviews. For more details on how we compiled this list, read to the very end. 

If you're open to braving an out-of-the-box breakfast find, then Aldi's Breakfast Best Pancakes & Sausage On-A-Stick might be for you. It lowkey feels like inviting one of the best fried foods from the state fair to your morning table, and we are not mad about it. Many shoppers are embracing it as an easy, grab-and-go breakfast option that is anything but boring. Customers can expect a fully cooked pork and chicken sausage link encased in a just-sweet-enough pancake batter, that is frozen, boxed, and waiting to be heated up. 

While instructions include microwave prep, the general consensus of reviews seems to lean toward air frying as a superior reheating method. Prepared this way, it's said that the outside crisps up beautifully, while the inside stays soft and fluffy, avoiding the doughy texture some people experienced when cooking straight from frozen in the microwave. Oven baking also earns praise for delivering that golden exterior without fuss. What really pushes this item into "best of" territory is how easy and family-friendly it is. Parents love it for picky eaters, and kids love the novelty of breakfast on-a-stick. It's also mentioned as a budget-friendly alternative to name-brand versions.

Regarding its flavor, people enjoy it, with some even claiming the pancake coating is sweet enough to skip syrup entirely. The savory notes of the sausage are also commented on as tasty, especially if you are a corn dog fan.

Hash browns are instant crowd pleasers and almost assured winners  ... when enjoyed in diners, that is. Restaurant hash browns taste so good, but from frozen? That is hit-and-miss territory. That said, while skeptics may initially resist the idea of frozen hash brown patties, Aldi's is here to quell that resistance.

Currently sold in a generous pack of 20, these Aldi favorites are classic shredded potato patties, frozen and ready to cook. And, while we might all admit we'd opt for the onsite diner experience if we had our daily druthers, making a stop at a restaurant just isn't always in the cards, especially on a rushed morning. According to reviews, these hash brown patties are the next best thing to diner gold. When cooked properly (many reviewers preferred the air fryer), the patties are said to come out deeply crispy, but not overly dry, and good enough to even mimic our favorite go-to fast food hash staples (looking at you, Mickey D's).

Another reviewer gave even more evidence for the air fryer method being the way to go, as it allows for quick prep, but also enables the user to control exactly just how dark or golden they want their patty to present. A final brownie points plug? These patties are infinitely customizable, working equally as well alongside scrambled eggs as they do as the base for a savory dinner casserole. 

Breakfast Best brand is no stranger to our lists of best frozen breakfast sandwiches, but its Sausage, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches are a new Aldi pick of ours that has garnered a devoted fanbase. The flaky croissant is filled with sausage, egg, and cheese, then frozen. These are designed for you to be able to heat-and-eat quickly, without having to go to a diner or wait in the drive-thru line with the other late-for-work sammie seekers en route to the office.

That alone garners this sandwich high marks indeed, but what really pushes these into the winners circle is how reviewers rate their value when pitted against more expensive name brand competitors. Taste-wise, the croissant is really the star here. Reviewers praise how its texture is flaky, a rare feat for frozen breakfast items. The sausage is also noted to have a well-seasoned flavor profile, and the cheese appears to be creamy enough to quell cravings.

We've raved about unique waffles in US restaurants, but what about rare finds in Aldi freezers? The Breakfast Best Buttermilk & Vanilla Protein Waffles may appear to be suffering from an identity crisis. The first thing most think of when hearing "waffle" is more sweet pancake syrup and less high-protein powerhouse. But, dare we actually believe we can have it all? Aldi apparently thinks so. In fact, it is actually this seemingly miraculous pairing in one delicious frozen breakfast find that has customers wagging tongues. Practical for a quick morning meal whip up, yet also protein-packed, these waffles are out here defying being placed in any box (except the one in Aldi's freezer aisle, that is).

Made with whole wheat and flavored with buttermilk and vanilla, these wonder waffles have been noted to bring a noticeably different texture from traditional ones to the table, but not in a bad way. They have been described as being slightly chewy, yet way more affordable than comparable store-bought, protein-rich waffles. 

As well as providing protein (12 grams per serving), they also present customers with a near-blank slate to customize as they wish. Some top them with fruit and nut butter, others turn them into savory breakfast sandwiches.Still more whip them up plain (finding the vanilla flavor provides ample sweetness that is reminiscent of a yummy ice cream cone). 

Who doesn't love French Toast? It is among the most beloved breakfast foods, indeed, but not always the most convenient or practical to make. Whether we simply don't have the time or lack the culinary chops to whip up an actual batch of French toast, the fact remains that an on-the-go option is definitely something many would like to see on the menu. Enter Aldi's Breakfast Best Cinnamon French Toast Sticks, a more mobile and convenient option for even the most culinary-challenged among us. 

These sticks, which are available in original and double cinnamon varieties, are a big sensation (the cinnamon-coated version especially earning online accolades). The cinna-sugar coating adds sweetness and a taste of indulgence (almost like enjoying dessert for breakfast), and, while microwave instructions are given, many shoppers seem to prefer baking or air frying them for a more crisp edge.

While the flavor is reported as pretty phenomenal, we feel we would be remiss to not note that it is a generous "taste" of nostalgia that also seems to be winning customer hearts here. Aldi fans have compared these to school lunch French toast sticks from cherished childhood memories. It's that familiar flavor that makes them easy to love, and the convenience factor just seals the deal for these popular sticks. Some add fruit or sauces, but many say these don't need anything at all to be dynamite.

When you think of the quintessential American breakfast staples, chances are pancakes are going to be high on that list. In fact, pancakes are so popular, there are practically infinite varieties on the market, each more exotic and outlandish than the last. With that in mind, the good old buttermilk pancake can seem plain, dare we say boring, to some. And a frozen version? That is an even harder sell compared to other more unusual store-bought offerings. 

Luckily, the Breakfast Best Buttermilk Pancakes from Aldi seem to be holding their own, at least in the estimation of consumers. These buttermilk beauties come frozen, but are already fully cooked and can be ready in minutes, making them a welcome addition to the freezers of busy families and on-the-go meal-grabbers everywhere.

They can be heated a number of ways, including the microwave, toaster, or oven. The microwave is the go-to option for consumers with the need for speed, of course, but plenty of other people mention liking to take a bit more time so they can experiment and get the ideal texture via the other modes. Once heated, the pancakes are said to have that classic pancake flavor we all seek in our stacks, as well as a welcome sponge-like texture that does what flapjacks should do, expertly absorb every ounce of butter and syrup we can slather and pour.

Sausage patties may not be flashy, but they often serve as the key ingredient in some of the most amazing breakfasts. The Breakfast Best Fully Cooked Original Sausage Patties, which have been on the Aldi freezer scene for years, are among the preferred patties consistently earning great reviews. That staying power alone speaks volumes for these sausage patties, which come fully cooked, frozen, and ready-to-heat.

Efficiency is the name of the game here, with customers appreciating the ease and speed these patties bring to the breakfast table. Customers can warm them in a skillet, zap them in the microwave, or even crisp them up in an air fryer. The pan or air fryer process in particular were pointed out for their ideal prep, aiding in attaining the quintessential crisp factor, while releasing some of the excess fat so that the patties avoid the common pitfall of becoming overly greasy.

In regards to their flavor profile, the Original Sausage Patties deliver exactly what discerning customers have come to expect from any classic breakfast patty worth its salt. Reviewers specifically praised how the patties did not shrink down when cooked, and also pointed out how good they are as the main component for a stellar breakfast sandwich. The uses are pretty endless, in fact, including crumbling them into scrambles or wraps and adding them to a casserole. 

What if we told you that you could start your day with a little pocket of goodness every single morning? You'd probably get excited, right? Well prepare to do a little happy dance, or at least grin a little, because Breakfast Best Egg & Cheese Breakfast Pitas are indeed those promised pockets, at least according to reviewers.

These pitas can be found in the Aldi freezer section, come individually wrapped, and are filled with one of the world's favorite breakfast duos — egg and cheese. The handheld aspect of this selection is particularly prized for its practicality and functionality, especially for on-the-go breakfast eaters. Each serving delivers an 8 grams of protein that is not to be sniffed at, thanks to the egg and cheese combo we praised earlier. The protein lends itself to a higher satiety level, meaning each pita packs a good punch not only in flavor, but in staying power for keeping you feeling full far longer than that cold breakfast pastry ever would. 

As for prep? It doesn't get much simpler than the 40-ish seconds required to zap a pocket in the microwave, then be on your way. And, even though specifically listed as a breakfast item, fans admit loving them so much that they rely on these pitas well past the morning rush hours, for midday snacks and more. 

We all have those favorite breakfast foods we love eating, but feel we can't reach for as much as we'd like to due to ingredients lists that contain items we can't even pronounce or the fact that many of our faves feel too processed to pick more than once in a blue moon in good conscience. Luckily, Whole & Simple Omelet Breakfast Bites tackles that issue head-on. And, great news, no more walking on eggshells, carefully trying to avoid overindulging in your favorite breakfast treat. With these bites, you get straightforward ingredients and familiar flavors, which is something shoppers scramble for.

The box title including "bites" may mislead, as customers will be glad to know these have been described as much closer to muffin-sized, so that a pair of them can serve as a surprisingly satisfying breakfast for most. The Pepper, Uncured Ham, and Cheddar variety, in particular, seem to get a lot of love, thanks to the tasty combination of savory egg, smoky ham, sharp cheese, and bell pepper kick. Kind of similar to mini crustless quiches, they're microwave-friendly and appear to avoid the all too common pitfall of a rubbery and watery texture people expect in frozen egg products.

The Veggies Made Great brand takes the ingenious idea of hiding veggies in kid-friendly foods and presents it to us in Aldi's freezer aisle via its Gluten Free Blueberry Oat Muffins. These muffins have become one of the most talked-about frozen breakfast items at Aldi, thanks to their sneaky way of actually making us want to eat our vegetables. Each muffin includes vegetables, like zucchini and carrots, blended seamlessly into the batter. Reviewers marvel at how, despite knowing their morning muffins are chock-full of veggies, you just don't taste them.

What you do taste is a moist, tender, and not overwhelmingly sweet muffin, with enough blueberry flavor to make it fly. And, perhaps the biggest compliment? They don't taste super health food-ish. Their being individually wrapped lends to convenience, and a mere 30-seconds in the microwave is all you need to reheat these, making them a stellar option for a busy morning.

Fully cooked and ready to heat, Breakfast Best Heat-N-Serve Sausage Links can go from freezer to plate in mere minutes, which is just one of the reasons Aldi fans sing their praises. Microwave prep appears to be the most common route reviewers opt for, and they are said to also work well when added to other dishes.

Customers have described them as being well-seasoned and satisfying, and appreciate their not falling into the common pitfall of many morning breakfast sausages, the horrid overly greasy culinary faux pas. This aversion in itself is already a sausage link triumph in any realm, but becomes an even more impressive feat when presenting in the frozen sausage category.

Parent reviewers gratefully report how their kids will happily eat them, which is often the highest praise a breakfast food can get from families in particular. Teens grab them (in second helpings and more), and adults are just glad to have found a great breakfast option that tastes good, is satisfying, and is easy to make. And, just like sausage patties we highlighted earlier, these are incredibly flexible. They can be enjoyed solo, of course, but also shine when paired with any number of sidekicks (think eggs, pancakes, omelets, and more).

We bypassed the marketing buzz and paid advertisements to head straight to the most solid source: actual reviews from Aldi customers. From Reddit threads to Facebook groups, as well as comment sections, individual posts, and oh-so-many reels, we discovered shoppers sharing their must-buy Aldi items from the breakfast section of the freezer aisle. If it made this list, it's because real shoppers, like you, swore by it, solidly backing it as more than earning its spot in the morning routine.
