Costco’s bakery has long been a go-to spot for food lovers, but as autumn rolls in, it takes things to a whole new level. Known for seasonal favorites like pumpkin streusel muffins, hearty chicken pot pies, and gooey morning buns, the bakery section is now offering a new standout item: the Cinnamon Coffee Cake. With its decadent crumble topping and sweet icing drizzle, this loaf cake is already winning over fans across the country.
A Hit with Costco Fans
Costco enthusiasts were quick to voice their love for the new dessert. In dedicated Reddit forums, many are singing its praises. “Cinnamon coffee cake is outstanding,” one user commented, echoing the sentiment of many. Others jokingly lament how addictive the new cake can be, with one fan admitting, “I end up eating 40,000 calories in a sitting.” This new treat certainly seems to have the Costco community abuzz.
What’s Inside the New Cake?
The cake’s main ingredients are sugar and flour, which, as some fans pointed out, may be a bit concerning for those watching their calorie intake. But surprisingly, many noted that the cake isn’t overwhelmingly sweet despite sugar being listed first. “For sugar being the first ingredient, it’s not nearly as sweet as you’d expect,” an early taste tester shared. For regular Costco bakery shoppers, this is no shock, as it’s common for sugar to be a dominant ingredient in many of their baked goods.
A few shoppers were confused by the name “coffee cake,” expecting a hint of coffee in the recipe. However, as is traditional, a coffee cake is designed to be enjoyed with coffee rather than contain it. The cinnamon flavor in Costco’s version aligns perfectly with this classic dessert style.
For Those Who Prefer Single Servings
For shoppers who don’t want to commit to a full loaf, Costco’s coffee cake muffins offer a similar flavor profile. As one fan recommended, “Highly recommend the coffee cake muffin as well if you want to save on cleaning a knife.” Fans love the convenience of the muffin version, which takes just 20 seconds in the microwave to become perfectly warm and soft.
A Treat Worth Every Penny
The Cinnamon Coffee Cake is priced at $9.99, a steal considering the size and quality. It even comes in its own tin for easy storage, though the real challenge will be saving any for later! As one excited shopper shared on Instagram’s @CostcoBuys, “It’s crumbly, delicious, and definitely a new favorite!”
The Sugar Debate
Of course, not everyone is a fan of the sugar content, especially those looking for healthier alternatives. But for those who embrace the indulgence, this new cake is a perfect companion for cozy autumn mornings. Fans of Costco’s bakery know what to expect—deliciousness with a side of sugar, a trade-off many are happy to make.
