Spring just got a whole lot sweeter!
There’s nothing quite as exciting as spotting a new bakery item at Costco—and nothing quite as devastating as realizing your seasonal favorite has disappeared. That may sound dramatic, but hey, IYKYK. That constant cycle of discovery and disappointment is part of the thrill of shopping at Costco, and why we’ve been anxiously awaiting the retailer’s spring debuts.
Well, that day is finally here! Costco just dropped a brand-new dessert and brought back a fan-favorite cake, and let’s just say they’re going to make your Costco membership worth it. They’re also going to make you the hit of any get-together you bring them to, including your Easter celebrations.
Read on to discover the two sweet treats destined to become your favorites this spring.

What new sweet treat is debuting at Costco this spring?
Raspberry-filled cookies, which already have a cult following. These oversized, bakery-style treats have a soft, almost cake-like base with a swirl of sweet-tart raspberry filling, and they come in a 15-count pack for $10.99. Translation: They’re perfect for sharing … or keeping all to yourself for the week (no judgment here).
So how do they taste? One TikToker summed it up simply, saying, “They taste like Pop-Tarts.” And another confessed, “Those are SO good that I literally ban myself from buying them. I’ll eat the whole box in one sitting.”
Shoppers are even comparing them to the Crumbl-style cookies that disappeared from Costco shelves around 2021 and fans still pine for. So grab a box of these before they disappear and become the next thing everyone wishes they’d stocked up on.
Which returning dessert is everyone excited about?

Costco’s tiramisu cheesecake, a fan favorite that’s back after more than a year off shelves. Priced between $22.99 to $23.99, depending on location, the cake is a full-on showstopper: a graham cracker and cocoa crust, a cold-brew cheesecake layer and a mascarpone whipped topping finished with cocoa powder.
TikToker Anidas couldn’t hide his delight in a taste-test. His main reaction to the “really nice coffee flavor” and “crunchy” crust? Mmmmm. The man looks like he’s in heaven!
And commenters on his video agree. One person wrote, “Omg tried this the other day and it was SOOO GOOD!” Another immediately made the case for an anytime treat: “Omg yum! And since it’s coffee flavored, it’s perfect for breakfast.” We love a good rationalization … and we’re in!
When will these items be available—and how long will they be sticking around?
Lucky for you, they’ve already started popping up in Costco bakeries, but don’t expect them to stick around for too long. While Costco hasn’t shared an official end date, seasonal bakery items like these typically last for just a few weeks or months, depending on demand and how quickly stores sell through inventory.
If you can’t find these desserts, what are good backups?
Can’t snag those seasonal sweets? Try one of these crowd-pleasing dessert standbys instead.
- Kirkland Signature Cheesecake: This ultra-creamy cheesecake is one of Costco’s most reliable bakery staples. Typically around 10 inches wide and weighing several pounds (!), it’s designed to serve a crowd of 12 or more, and rings in at just $16 to $20.
- Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Cake: This rich, layered chocolate cake is a year-round favorite. It weighs a little over 2.5 pounds, and inside, you’ll find layers of chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, white chocolate mousse and brownie chunks, all finished with a glossy ganache.
- Bakery Dessert Bars: These oversized dessert bars are often sold in large, mix-and-match-style packs or as bar cakes. Flavors rotate, but you’ll commonly see chocolate-chunk brookies and pecan-caramel brownies. Yum!
