I haven’t liked any of the baked goods i have had so far. The first or second bite is good but then it just doesn’t taste all that great. Especially the pumpkin pie and apple strudels
I started working in the Costco bakery in 1988. This bakery was one of the best in the early days. We made about 90% of our goods from scratch ie danish dough, croissants, cookies, and many types of bread, brownies, cinnamon rolls etc. etc. muffins and cakes we had a base and added ingredients. Then Costco went to bake-off everything is made in a factory, frozen ,boxed then shipped. It’s not the same quality they used to be. And yes they use the cheapest ingredients they can get to reach the same results. So if anyone tells you they are a baker at Costco these days don’t believe it. They just need to beable to count to 12. But the pumpkin pie has always been good.
That makes sense, because, I have a cookie base recipe that, I got from The Joy of Cooking and, I can use that same base to make several flavors of cookies.
I love everything Costco offer like the chicken noodle soup.First time I bought it since I’m not aware of this it’s really good and I asked one shopper about it and she said you’re going to love it.She was right now every visit this item will be in my cart .
We love the cranberry/orange scones! Unfortunately, Costco only has them on rare occasions. Come on Costco! We want ‘em! One more thing, bring back the combo pizza!
All these back to back Costco video makes me want to go there!!!! Lol. I love Costco, but usually don't buy the pastry because there's too much of it. Didn't know they were freezer friendly.
My favorite is the almond danishes… you have to buy two clamshells of 4 each…. Which is a bit much, but they freeze well. And, imo, they taste best after being freshened up in the toaster oven
Best bakery item I’ve ever had was a chocolate cheesecake pie,last summer or so. Before I got out the door with it, I had three people come up to me and exclaim, “Have you tried that yet?” It was beyond delicious! 😋😋😋
OH I hope they bring it back next summer. I kept hearing how good it was, and I was planning on getting one for my Birthday (July 25th). By the time we went to Costco to get one, they no longer sold them. I was so mad!
In the 90s, Costco Muffin used to be huge and I could never finish one. These days, the muffin looks like 1/2 of what it used to be, less greasy and portion right for a normal human being. The chocolate and the blueberry compliment each other!
Love love love their croissants but I have to look for a container where the croissants are not flatten when, I assume, they were packed. They hold well in the freezer. I put them in my convection toaster oven to crisp the outside and warm the inside.
Can't say I've ever had anything bad from Costco bakery. Their tiramisu cake is not only really good, but is a great deal. Taste good enough that the "nobody knows how to cook but us" italians that I know all love it. I also like their bagels and croissants. And those triangle chiabatas are also a favorite.
Just made a trip to Costco this morning here in Morelia, Michoacán,México. Very interesting to see what different items Costco offers in the United States compared to what they offer here in México. I’m sure the variety changes in their stores in other countries too. Our deli offers tinga de pollo or pollo en mole and paella on weekends.
What??? No mention of thee most fabulous Costco cookie ever??? The 4" Raspberry Crumble Topped Cookie with the light dusting of powdered sugar??? Are you kidding me??? It is THEE best cookie in the world!!! I will run barefoot to Costco if I find out they are in stock there!!! ❤️👍❤️👍❤️
That 4" Raspberry Crumble Topped Cookie with the light dusting of powdered sugar is literally to die for. Not sure why they are not always in stock (maybe they're always sold out?!) but if you find them, buy more than one package. Trust me, EVERYONE I know LOVES THESE DELICIOUS LOVELY COOKIE. They're big, moist, tender, delicately light....OMG....It's thee best confection on the market! ❤️🥳😘🤗👍
Costco Bakery does make some really yummy stuff. Recently find the butter cinnamon cakes, oh yes! But damn I wish they would bring back the mixed berry pie and the molasses cookies! OMG! The best!!
I bought a pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving a couple of years ago, 'cuz that's the sweetest I would want to go. It's not pumpkin filling, but some kind of squash...which was still OK...but the crust was really horrible...mushy, loaded with baking soda and tasted undercooked. We ate the filling, but the crust went into the compost heap. 🤣🤣
I miss the big chocolate cake with the shavings they used to have. They got rid of it. Too bad on that! Then...long long time ago they used to have these vanilla ice cream bars that they dipped in chocolate. You could add nuts to them if you wanted. They were absolutely one of the best. Then they got rid of that.
My family has been buying from Costco since it was called Price Club. My Mom has also worked there for like 20 + years. We have maybe bought 3 or 4 of the items from this list,lol. And only 2 of them have been frequent purchases. I’m very curious where the stats came from, for this list. My Mom could tell you, that the majority of these items are not the most popular/ purchased 🙈
Looking at the long list of ingredients, I would say there is nothing the least bit healthy or good to eat from their "bakery" Make it yourself, and avoid all the chemicals, preservatives and palm oil.
I too remember that triple berry pie -- was AWESOME! Last time I saw it was about 7-8 years ago -- along with their peach pie which went missing in action too!
My wedding planner actually suggested a cost saving tip to buy a Costco sheet cake to serve to everybody, but buy a small fancy wedding cake to cut in front of the guests. The sheet cake would be kept in the back away from guests & be cut up by the catering team so no one will know they're being served a perfectly delicious & cheap Costco sheet cake.
The apple strudel was discontinued last year by Costco. It is no longer available in any Virginia Costcos. It was our go-to favorite. The rest of their bakery items suffer from blah and dangerously excessive amounts of sugar and sodium. One would hope Costco could do much better! When is the apple strudel coming back???
I've eaten the blueberry muffins and poppy seed muffins since the 1990s without issues, but last week, I had a bad reaction two hours after eating only 1 and it was the only thing I ate in a 9 hour period. My stomach felt bloated and it turned into an upset stomach for 12 hours but with no diarrhea. I researched the ingredients and xanthan gum along with the baking powder may be causing the bloating effect. It appeared to cause constipation instead of diarrhea. And the constipation appeared to make my stomachache worse. The stomachache gradually went away after I was able to do a #2. I was okay for about 12 hours, until I decided to eat 1/2 of a poppy seed muffin. Then the same thing happened again. I thought the 3rd time would be the charm and ate 1/2 of a blueberry muffin and the same thing happened again. I still have 6 muffins left and will probably not eat those. The muffins tasted good but it appears my stomach can't tolerate the ingredients in them anymore. The culprit could be Propylene Glycol, which is found in many baked goods and muffin mixes. PG can also caused bloating. FDA regards PG as GRAS (Generally recognized as safe) but I'm not so sure. At high levels PG can be toxic. May be best that I make my own blueberry muffins from scratch with no artificial ingredients and weird additives.
@@howellwong11 didn't know you could freeze em. My fridge smells funny bc my parents just throw fish and meat haphazardly so I've never refrozen anything
You lost me in this video when you said you didn't rank Costco's baguette higher because making baguette bread at home is easy. Most ridiculous thing I've heard this week. It is not at all easy to make baguette bread at home. Costco's baguette is excellent. If you aren't using it the same day you buy it or only want to use one loaf, freeze it, but be sure to use it within a week.
the croissant has been shrinking since the change in shape -from half moon to a diamond. But bread is poor quality but atleast it is not bleached bread like Safeway. Pumpkin pie& Tirimasu cake are the only good item.
I tried the pumpkin pie.....it's horrible. I tried a second time.....same result. This has to be American. Pumpkin pie in Canada is required in October for Thanksgiving. Number 1 is wrong....they are not muffins, they taste like cake. FAIL.
A few weeks ago I purchased a LARGE Apple Pie. Each night I cut a slice - lasted 11 nights - and I ate the whole thing. Yummy!!!!! It was on the table with their pastries (not in the freezer.)
If a bagel has not been boiled, it is not a bagel. I have never, and would never buy “bagels” from CostCo. Also: the Cheesecake Factory does not make a perfect cheesecake. They are far too sweet. Really, just gross. WHO made this list? What about the raspberry crumble cookie? It is the most popular, best bakery item, hands down.
most bakery items Ive purchased have been quite good, the exception was the large birthday sheet cake, tasted pretty awful, noticed all the adults scraping the icing off, only eaten by children, was quite disappointed with the taste, expected more from Costco, the lowest common denominator of cakes
I disagree with the tuxedo cake. I am a chocolate lover but this was way down on my list due to the flavour, not a good selection, leave it on the shelf and opt for the carrot cake.
What is your honest opinion of Costco?
Great company. What is your honest taste test of the baked goods?
Costco should not allow to make videos to any random person like the ones who made this.
I haven’t liked any of the baked goods i have had so far. The first or second bite is good but then it just doesn’t taste all that great. Especially the pumpkin pie and apple strudels
Wish they have keto friendly bake goods

The Starbucks croissant at more than double the price is pathetic looking in comparison to the Costco croissant. 👍
True even my pops loved it 😀
Starbucks is Total shite
We love the cranberry/orange scones! Unfortunately, Costco only has them on rare occasions. Come on Costco! We want ‘em!
One more thing, bring back the combo pizza!
We used to get that combo pizza every two weeks, but they stopped selling it. Sam's still sells it, but it's not nearly as good.
Trader Joe's has great cranberry/orange scones all the time.
@@camthesaxman3387 I actually prefer Sam's pizza over Costco's but prefer Costco's hot dogs over Sams.

The Tuxedo cake will be a hit at any gathering. I serve it sliced with whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries. It's rich, decadent and satisfying.
I’m gonna have to check out the danishes! I am SO happy that Costco opened a second location in the Des Moines Metro! We definitely needed it!

One of your best videos! Would love to see one like this on the Kroger or Publix bakeries!
Has this person ever used a microwave? If you put the braided pastry in one for "a few minutes" it'll turn into molten lava and ruin the bread 😂
Nothing stops the American Chocolate Cake which is my absolute favorite along with their rotisserie chicken.
Love love love their croissants but I have to look for a container where the croissants are not flatten when, I assume, they were packed. They hold well in the freezer. I put them in my convection toaster oven to crisp the outside and warm the inside.
The Tuxedo cake will make you weak in the knees
My sister brought one to Christmas dinner and it was soooo good! I was going to ask her where she got it, but now I know. 😋
I could eat a whole one by myself 😛😍

We love the Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse cake. We have it for every holiday, It's SO DELICIOUS!
Almond danish is amazing. They used to carry fruit tart, too bad, they discontinued it.

The tuxedo chocolate mousse is to die for!
My aunt's recipe for pumpkin pie is replace the milk with coconut milk. That switch makes it irresistible.
Miss the apple strudel. Was a regular purchase for years. Don’t know why they substituted the sub-par cherry-cheese version.
Costco Bakery does make some really yummy stuff. Recently find the butter cinnamon cakes, oh yes!
But damn I wish they would bring back the mixed berry pie and the molasses cookies! OMG! The best!!
Biscotti muffins with cranberry and orange is the best!
I purchase some lemon cupcakes from them over the summer and I swear those cupcakes were the best I ever had in my life
Agree, my favorite!
The blueberry muffins are really good, but the best item is the flan!!
I still miss their huge chocolate cake with the shavings on the side that they used to have. They got rid of it.
OMG nooooo
Idk how I got on the grocery store side of TH-cam but I’m happy to be here

Costco croissants and their chicken salad…awesome!
I love the blueberry muffins
I really like the crossiants and the pumpkin streusel muffins
No cinnamon pull aparts at my Costco this Christmas. Devastated.
The tuxedo cake is to die for.
"Opt for your local bakery when you can"... and pay 3-4 times the price! Funny advice!
I loved the Costco granola while it was available.
The Braided Strudels are exceptional. They need 10 minutes in the convection oven.
Love Costco bakery. The cakes are great, love the cookies and the cheesecake is as good as the Bronx.
Who wants to eat those commercial sweets? Homemade is so much better!
Yes, I used to buy cinnamon raisin bagels at Costco but they discontinued the product. To bad!

i like how even the worst are getting positive remarks
The bakery section of Costco is the Garden of Eden as far as I'm concerned, and everything is wonderful.

When I was a child we used to go to the Price Club in El Cajón, California. My favorite things were Sunkist jelly candies.
Costco msg not have the cranberry orange scones anymore but they do have cranberry orange biscotti soft cookies and they are amazing!
My favorite Costco bakery food is croissant. Not a bagel fan.
Are these made with butter and sugar. Sometimes to save costs cheaper baked goods use artificial sweeteners and palm oils.
I have not seen the mini cakes, but they look good.
Love Costco chocolate cake. ❤
i bought the tuxedo mousse cake and ate it by myself in 3 days.
Looking at the long list of ingredients, I would say there is nothing the least bit healthy or good to eat from their "bakery" Make it yourself, and avoid all the chemicals, preservatives and palm oil.
That’s not what this video is about..
The Raspberry Crumble Cookies are the best. $8.99 I think for 12.
I’ll have to try them.
Oh God, I had to stop buying them as I couldn’t stop with just one. They are so delicious.
Costco used to make a mixed berry pie that was out of this world. I don't buy much pastry there bc it's just too much.
you could always eat some and then just freeze the rest
I too remember that triple berry pie -- was AWESOME! Last time I saw it was about 7-8 years ago -- along with their peach pie which went missing in action too!

Never microwave bread!After the molten lava phase it turns into a brick.
The only bakery food I have bought is the rosemary baked bread and it is delicious.
I love the Rosemary bread but, at the Costco store I shop at doesn't sale it anymore.
rosemary and Parmesan bread is the best bread ever. they only make it in Florida stores. I've asked for it here in Michigan and they cannot get it.
I’m not crazy about the Costco dessert , as they all very sweet. Too much sugar is not good for health.
The one thing I don’t like is their cake it’s really loaded with sugar .But everything is decent .
I love Costco's bakery goods, but I almost never get them since it's only the two of us (their stuff is so huge).
Think: freezer.
I also love Costco and gift 1/2 of the baked goods with neighbors and friends.
The apple strudel was discontinued last year by Costco. It is no longer available in any Virginia Costcos. It was our go-to favorite. The rest of their bakery items suffer from blah and dangerously excessive amounts of sugar and sodium. One would hope Costco could do much better! When is the apple strudel coming back???
We have the same question! Bring back the apple strudel to Costco - ASAP!

The mini gingerbread cakes were a bit disappointing.

Cinnamon pull apart is #1!!!!!!
the cheese Danish are my must buys

Yummy delicious cakes with margarine and 10+ preservatives.
Some of these 25% increase in price. (Cookies)
The assorted cookies are now up to $9.99 at my Costco! Not buying them anymore at that price. Bye-bye Costco cookies.
The muffins are too much like cake and you should only eat half at a time.
after working for Costco bakery department for 6 months, I stopped buying them.
Costco bakery items are value for money at the expense of everything else. Stopped buying 2 years ago.
Top 3 are overrated. There's no way they are better than Tuxedo Cake, Cheese Cake, Cream Cheese Danish, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Chocolate Muffins.
I disagree with the tuxedo cake. I am a chocolate lover but this was way down on my list due to the flavour, not a good selection, leave it on the shelf and opt for the carrot cake.
