Costco’s food court gets a lot of love, but lately its bakery is in the spotlight. While the Kirkland bakery has always been known to have a great selection of delicious baked goods, including fresh breads, pies, cakes, muffins, and more, it seems that recent additions are getting a lot of love, especially on social media. And while items may rotate on and off shelves throughout the year, Costco always does a good job of keeping the bakery stocked with classic crowd-pleasers, as well as newer items that emphasize the best of season’s flavors.

Costco’s baked goods that are made in-house are not only super unique and innovative, but also delicious. So, if you haven’t been able to stop in and give these a try, it’s definitely time to do so! But, if you find yourself overwhelmed by the options, don't worry—we've got your back. We combed through social media, Reddit, and even did some taste testing ourselves to find the best items that are currently available in Costco's bakery. Without further ado, these are the best new desserts from Costco's bakery.

The 7 Best Desserts From Costco's Bakery Items From Costco

Four Berry Pie

A recent release for the summer season, as its name suggests, this berry pie combines four different berries: strawberries, cranberries, blueberries and raspberries. The fruity and delicious pie is perfect for outdoor gatherings and large crowds—it weighs almost five pounds! It’s priced at $18.99, a steal for its size and quality. To give it an upgrade, take a tip from Instagram user Laura, a.k.a. @costcohotfinds, and enjoy the pie warmed up with a scoop of ice cream and/or whipped cream. Trust us, you won’t be sorry.

Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake

If you’re a chocolate lover, you won’t be able to resist this rich and creamy mousse cake. It’s been gaining tons of positive reviews from Costco customers lately, and we can see why—it’s composed of several indulgent, chocolatey layers to really bring that “wow!” factor. The mousse cake has layer upon layer of chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, brownie pieces, and a decadent topping made with chocolate ganache. Need we say more?

Confetti Cookies

Anytime you add sprinkles, it’s an immediate upgrade, right? These cookies are fun, festive, and a lovely fit for summer, whether as a sweet snack or the start of an easy dessert. A new release for the summer, they’ve become a major hit on social media and with Costco’s loyal fanbase. Each box comes with 24 cookies—loaded with rainbow sprinkles and white chocolate chips—and costs $8.99. Sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two of these cookies, and you've got a crowd-pleasing summer dessert in minutes.

Lemon Meringue Cheesecake

If you love lemon meringue pie and cheesecake, then this combination and new dessert from Costco’s bakery department is a total game-changer. It brings together a few classic elements of meringue pie and cheesecake, with layers of tart lemon curd, graham cracker crust, a silky smooth cheesecake filling, and lastly, brûléed meringue to top it off. It weighs nearly four pounds, too, so it’s a great option for entertaining, and is sure to impress guests. Countless people on social media have called this one of Costco's best baked goods ever. If you love lemon, give Costco's mini lemon cakes a try, too.

S'mores Cookies

If you love a good s’mores but don’t have time to toast marshmallows over a campfire, the S’mores Cookies from Costco will certainly hit the spot. Customers have been raving about them since they appeared on Costco bakery shelves last month. Many say you can make them taste even better by heating them in the microwave for a few seconds to make the marshmallow center extra gooey. Consider us sold.

Strawberries & Cream Bar Cake

Another recent spotting in Costco bakeries by Laura over at @costcohotfinds? This super summery bar cake, with a delightful sponge cake base, strawberry filling and whipped cream. And it tastes as good as it looks; Laura declared this elegant take on strawberry shortcake a solid 10/10.

Key Lime Pie

Good news: Costco’s Key Lime Pie has returned and costs $15.99 for a whopping 4-pound pie that’s tart and refreshing, and can easily serve a big crowd. Key limes, also known as Mexican limes and West Indies limes, are more tart than conventional limes, making this type of pie particularly unique, and extra tart and sour (in a good way). And many on social media say that Costco's version is one of the best, even going so far as to claim it's "Probably the best dessert that Costco sells," in the comments of one such post.
