When the heat arrives, turning on the oven at home is the last thing we want. The craving for something sweet is still there, but the idea of baking feels overwhelming. Fortunately, Costco has the answer ready on its shelves.
The chain is an expert at bringing irresistible products to its bakery. In recent weeks, it has surprised customers with buttercream cupcakes, triple chocolate muffins, crispy marshmallow cookies, and a rhubarb and strawberry cake. Now it has raised the stakes with a new release that's already become a trend.
The most talked-about croissants of the summer
The new star at Costco is the Caramelized Blueberry Cheesecake Croissants. The name is long, but the flavor justifies everything. These pastries combine a flaky croissant dough base with a creamy cheesecake and blueberry filling, topped with a sweet streusel that provides the final texture.
Shoppers who've tried them can't stop praising the experience. On Reddit, a fan described each bite as "crispy, soft, buttery, sticky, flavorful, and sweet." Another said they should be a permanent part of the bakery selection. On Instagram, the reaction is just as positive, with comments highlighting how addictive this dessert is.
The most repeated recommendation among Costco loyalists is to give them a blast of heat before eating. Whether in the oven, microwave, or an air fryer, the result improves because the layers become even crispier and the cream cheese gets juicier. Some even claim the air fryer takes them to another level.
Familiar inspiration and tempting price
This release isn't entirely new for Costco followers. In the past, the company sold a frozen version of cheesecake and blueberry croissants by La Boulangerie de San Francisco. The resemblance is clear, although it's not clear whether this is a reissue, an inspiration, or a private label product.
What is certain is the attractive price they come with. The six-croissant pack costs $12.99, although the final amount may vary depending on the region. Each unit is an affordable treat compared to other bakery desserts.
However, as with many Costco releases, availability isn't guaranteed forever. The croissants could disappear at any moment, so the sweetest-toothed fans recommend buying more than one box before they sell out. A fruity, tangy, and creamy treat that promises to brighten up any summer dessert time.
