The 28 Best Costco Bakery Items, Ranked
We have THOUGHTS about those iconic croissants.

Costco is the closest thing we have to heaven on Earth. There's no other place in the world where you can enjoy free samples, wander vast air-conditioned aisles full of fun products, and enjoy a hot dog and soda for just $1.50. The bulk warehouse chain transforms an everyday grocery run into an entertaining experience.
The Delish team has spent many hours at our local Costco exploring their constantly changing stock. In the past, we've rounded up our favorite luxury groceries, kitchen equipment, and snacks at Costco. We've even consulted experts like Laura Lamb from @costcohotfinds to share insider tips when it comes to shopping at the store. (News flash: you're probably going at the wrong time.)
But, without a doubt, the best section of any Costco warehouse is the bakery. Each location bakes sweet and savory treats on site without any added preservatives, so you can rest assured that the products you're picking up are fresh. There are year round staples that Costco lovers swear by, but Costco keeps the bakery department interesting by rotating plenty of seasonal products.
That being said, not every Costco pastry has star quality. So we're rounding up the most popular products—both everyday and seasonally-specific offerings—and ranking them from worst to best. When you stumble across a new sweet and wonder if it's worth buying, odds are we'll have a hot take somewhere on this list.
