6 Best New Costco Bakery Finds Of 2026 (So Far)

Costco's bakery is legendary, but while the chain has released its fair share of fan favorites over the years, not every item is a must-buy. Costco's famously large servings make decisions that much harder; nobody wants to end up with a 20-pack of dense, dry pain au chocolat. We've rounded up six of the best Costco bakery releases of 2026, informed by social media buzz and Reddit reviews. We've skipped the duds — like those pain au chocolat — so you can skip them too. 

Costco tends to rotate its bakery items throughout the year and availability varies by location, so there's no guarantee you'll find these products in stock. Snag them while you can or wait till the next new find appears. Keep your eyes peeled: The year isn't over yet and the holiday season is barely on the horizon. We're bound to see more tasty bakery releases for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Who knows, your new favorite could be right around the corner.

Costco customers went wild when the bakery released these cinnamon-filled croissants in July. The crispy croissants have a gooey cinnamon sugar filling that's similar to the inside of a cinnamon roll. "I enjoyed the twice baked pistachio croissants so I decided to try these cinnamon ones," one Redditor wrote. "These are even better!" A Facebook user was less impressed — until they found a solution. "We turned them into french toast and they were excellent," they wrote.

Not all of Costco's bakery items are Costco-sized, but this coffee cake could feed a small crowd. After the cake was released in August, influencer costcohotfinds reviewed it in an Instagram reel. "It's incredible, it's soft, moist, and not overly sweet," the influencer explained. Other reviewers agreed. "This definitely exceeded my expectations," discovering_costco said in a separate reel. "You know how coffee cake can sometimes be dense and dry? This was neither. The cake was light, fluffy, and full of almond flavor."

As a Southerner, I know buttermilk biscuits are as quick and easy as you can get — unless you overwork the dough, use room-temperature butter, or space them too far apart on the baking sheet. Sure, fresh is best. But if you have bad luck with biscuits, these are for you. "They are quite large, and very fluffy straight out of the microwave. I ate them with butter," one Redditor wrote. The biscuits are best reserved for dinner parties and large families, though. "If you don't use them within 24 hours, then they dry out quickly and are best used for biscuits and gravy," another Redditor explained.

Sourdough lovers may gripe that Costco's loaves aren't actually sourdough, but this bread is a solid buy for those of us with less refined (read: less picky) palates. While many of Costco's blueberry bakes are more hit than miss, most shoppers were pleased with this berry-heavy sourdough. "Tastes like a blueberry bagel. I love blueberry bagels," wrote one Redditor. Serve it sweet or savory: People say it's perfect for French toast or grilled cheese.

Costco fans were quick to slander this cherry-studded sourdough when it appeared in August. Once again, Redditors griped that it wasn't actually sourdough and leveled "overpriced" accusations. Still, shoppers who actually tried it seemed to enjoy it. "I have purchased two loaves so far and both have lasted 24 hours," one Redditor wrote. "Did I mention I live alone?" Another poster agreed, saying, "It was really good. Made grilled cheese sandwiches and they were delicious."

For American customers, these chocolate hazelnut beignets were a long time coming. They were a Costco bakery staple in the United Kingdom before showing up in a few U.S. Costco stores for a 2025 test run. They finally rolled out nationwide in January and shoppers have been gobbling them up ever since.

"Do not buy ... Unless you want to ruin your diet and health goals," warned one Redditor, who posted a picture of a mostly-empty 22-pack. "I bought these for a party and ended up eating almost all of them myself." They weren't the only customer who issued this kind of warning. "Thought about lawyering up and filing a suit for no warning label on this ... these are so good," another Redditor wrote. A third person advised that microwaving them "makes them disappear faster."
