Good news for acai fans not living on the West Coast: According to Costco's management team, the $5 Acai Bowls are expanding to stores nationwide this June. While they're already bringing some color to Oregon, California, and Hawaii Costco outposts, they'll be available at every store by the middle of the month, so keep your eyes peeled when you pass the food court! In the meantime, this Piña Colada Smoothie Bowl should hold you over.

There aren't many places you can get a hot dog and a soda for $1.50, but Costco's food court is blissfully one of them. The big box store also slings slices of pizza, chicken caesar salads, and hot sandwiches for just a few bucks, so it's no surprise their newest lunch item is equally budget-friendly. The meal itself, though, is way bougier than your average combo meal.
Costco is keeping up with the trends and adding an Acai Bowl to certain stores. The bright purple smoothie bowls that have made their way into trendy cafes around the country – usually for at least 10 bucks a pop – have officially been Costco-fied. And they only cost $5. 🙌
Shoppers in Hawaii, Oregon, and California have shared photos of the pretty lunchtime snacks on social media, and show them topped with fresh berries, Kirkland Signature Granola, and banana chips. Not too shabby, Costco.
Unfortunately, the bowls don't seem to be available at every location yet, but we've reached out to Costco to see if there are plans for expansion. We'll update the story when we know more!
