June is here, and it's time to embrace the summer vibes with a trip to Costco! As the temperature rises, the air-conditioned warehouse becomes a haven for all things seasonal and refreshing. This month, Costco is rolling out a range of new treats that will make your summer shopping experience even more delightful.
A Summer Feast
Twice-Baked Pistachio Croissants
Costco's bakery section is on fire with these new croissants! After the success of their twice-baked almond croissants, they've upped the ante with a pistachio twist. The all-butter pastries are baked twice, resulting in a perfect balance of crispy, golden edges and a soft, decadent center. Each pack of six costs $9.99, making it an affordable and indulgent breakfast treat. Personally, I think these croissants are a game-changer for summer mornings, and they're perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying solo.
Shrimp Ceviche
Costco's deli section has a refreshing surprise with their shrimp ceviche. Packed with whole pieces of cooked shrimp, red onion, bell pepper, cilantro, and lime, it's a light and flavorful dish. While our editors loved the taste, they noted that the shrimp pieces could be a bit smaller. A simple fix with a pair of kitchen shears, and you've got a summer meal of champions! Add some tortilla chips, and you've got a complete picnic or beach day feast.
Sweet Indulgences
The Cheesecake Factory Grand Cheesecake Assortment
Cheesecake lovers, rejoice! This variety pack from The Cheesecake Factory is a dream come true. With four flavors to choose from - Key Lime, White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Banana Cream, and Strawberry-Topped Original - you'll never have to decide on just one. Each box comes with three slices of each flavor, arranged into a three-pound pre-sliced cheesecake. At $18.99, it's an incredibly affordable way to indulge in a slice of cheesecake paradise. Just imagine, you can enjoy the flavors of The Cheesecake Factory without stepping out of your air-conditioned Costco haven!
Dubai Chocolate Ice Cream Bars
Häagen-Dazs has outdone themselves with these limited-time, Dubai-inspired chocolate ice cream bars. Made with pistachio ice cream and coated in milk chocolate studded with crispy kataifi, they're a true summer indulgence. A box of 20 bars costs $15.69, which is a fair price for such a decadent treat. These bars are a perfect portable dessert, and they'll have you feeling like you're on a luxurious trip to Dubai, all while enjoying a cold, creamy treat.
Party Platters and More
Sandwich Party Platter
Feeding a crowd doesn't have to be a hassle, thanks to Costco's sandwich party platter. With 20 sandwiches in two varieties (chicken, salami, and Swiss, plus roast beef and cheddar), a tub of garlic aioli, and a container of pickle chips, it's a complete picnic or beach day solution. At $50, it works out to about $2.50 per serving, which is an excellent deal when you're feeding a group. Laura Lamb, a Costco enthusiast, shared the news, and we couldn't agree more - this platter is a summer essential!
Samlip Strawberry Full Moon Chiffon Cake
Samlip, a popular Korean bakery brand, has made its way to Costco, and we're loving it! The Strawberry Full Moon Chiffon Cakes are individually wrapped personal cakes stuffed with a strawberry-flavored center. They're pillowy soft, moist, and just sweet enough. The strawberry filling is similar to the flavor of strawberry Pocky or Pepero, making it a delightful portable snack. Our editors are raving about these cakes, and we think they're a perfect summer treat to enjoy on the go.
In conclusion, Costco's June offerings are a testament to their commitment to providing a diverse and exciting shopping experience. From indulgent desserts to refreshing meals, these new products will make your summer adventures even more memorable. So, grab your shopping list and head to Costco for a summer feast like no other!
