There are certain sections of Costco that you should never skip. The bakery, the snack aisle, and the food court are essential stops—but a zone too many people sleep on is the freezer aisle.
We get it: we don't always have extra space to spare in our freezers. So whenever we do stock up on frozen food, it's important that the products we buy are actually worth it. And when it comes to the most variety and best quality, Costco's frozen food selection comes out on top (don't worry Trader Joe's, you're a close second).
If you need inspiration on what frozen foods to add to your Costco cart, look no further. We've rounded up 16 of the best things you can find at the bulk warehouse. Need more Costco shopping recommendations? Check out some of our favorite products below:
Brazi Bites Brazilian Cheese Bread
Sure, the main appeal of a Brazilian-style steakhouse may be the picanha steak. But I'm going for the pão de queijo every time. This light and chewy cheese bread from Brazi Bites is perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
La Boulangerie Smoked Ham & Swiss Cheese Pockets
These ham and cheese croissants are made with all-butter and are already fully cooked, so you just need to warm them up to transform your kitchen into a fancy French bakery. Pro tip: heat these in the air fryer for maximum crisp factor.
La Vie Gourmand Stuffed Mini Churro Bites
Do I even need to explain why you should try these? Churros are delicious enough on their own, but the creamy, decadent fillings take these bites to the next level. The best part? You don't need a deep fryer to enjoy them.
Binggrae Melona Fruit Bars
I grew up eating Melona pops as a treat whenever I visited a Korean grocery store, and now you can find them all over the U.S. at Costco. Their soft, creamy texture is unlike any popsicle you've ever had. This variety pack comes with the OG honeydew flavor along with mango and coconut.
Summ! Pork Lumpia Spring Rolls
Learning to make good lumpia requires a lot of time, practice, and dexterity. Opening up a package from Costco is decidedly easier. These Filipino-style spring rolls are crispy, savory, and a great snack to keep in your freezer.
Beecher's "World's Best" Mac & Cheese
Everybody has hot takes about mac and cheese (us included), but the recipe from Beecher's is on another level. They use penne pasta instead of shells or elbows, and then they spike the cheese sauce with a spicy kick of chipotle. It's the most grown-up and special mac and cheese you can find in the freezer aisle.
Reese’s Frozen Peanut Butter Dessert Cup
If you already put your Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in the freezer, do not pass go. Buy these dessert cups and thank us later.
Don Lee Farms Organic Chipotle Black Bean Burger
In an era where Impossible and Beyond meat reign supreme, I'm not ashamed to say that I still like bean-based veggie burgers better. And the Chipotle Black Bean burgers from Don Lee get a nice, crispy exterior when you pop them in the air fryer.
Don Lee Farms Crispy Beef Birria Tacos
Let's be honest: as delicious as birria tacos may be, they are not a good choice for delivery. They lose their crispy exterior in transit as the brothy beef absorbs into the tortillas. When I want to eat birria at home without making it all from scratch, these frozen tacos from Don Lee are the only thing I want.
Laoban Ginger Chicken Soup Dumplings
At my local food co-op, the dumplings from Laoban are the talk of the entire store—and for good reason. The wrappers are thin and delightfully chewy, and every single filling they offer slaps. They're admittedly pricier than the average dumpling. But when you buy them in bulk for a discount at Costco, they're more than worth it.
High Liner Miso Glazed Cod
Nobu? Never heard of her. This glazed cod is my go-to dinner when I'm feeling lazy and boujee at the same time. It's a chef's kiss all around.
Cuisine Adventures Green Chile Chicken Firecrackers
These frozen appetizers are like if a flauta and a spring roll had a baby. The cheesy, slightly spicy chicken filling is so savory and satisfying. Serve this to guests as a low-effort appetizer and everyone will be happy.
Kirkland Signature Pepperoni Pizza
I live in New York, one of the country's pizza capitals, and I still travel to Costco just for a slice. The frozen version means that I can enjoy the food court staple from the comfort of my own kitchen.
Deebee's Organic Superfruit Freeze Variety Pack
I bought these freezer pops on a whim on my last Costco trip, and finished the entire bag embarrassingly quickly. It's one of the rare instances in a variety pack where every flavor is good, but I'm partial to the blueberry pomegranate.
Island Way Sorbet, Variety Pack
These frozen desserts have been a Costco staple since I would go shopping with my mom as a child. And they're always in the freezer aisle for a reason—they're creamy, refreshing, and perfect for a hot day. The fact that they're served in a fruit shell only makes them more fun.
