Which new products at Costco are gaining popularity among customers?
Even though its warehouses are massive, Costco is quite choosy about what it offers. The company’s site states that Costco carries roughly 4,000 distinct goods, compared to an ordinary supermarket which usually has around 30,000 separate items. In short, when Costco decides to stock a product, it
really
believes in it.
Get acquainted with these three Costco newcomers who might steal your heart:
Tiramisu cheesecake
It’s hard to resist
Costco’s bakery
, particularly regarding the delightful house-brand desserts. A long-time favorite among shoppers has been the widely adored Kirkland Signature 12-inch Cheesecake. Now, Costco is exciting customers once again with a new tiramisu variant—a 12-inch, 4.5-pound dessert inspired by coffee, offering an updated twist on the classic plain cheesecake.
As reported by Reddit, Costco’s tiramisu cheesecake began appearing at some locations in early February. Priced at $23.99, this treat is gradually being introduced across the country; however, many customers still can’t locate it in nearby outlets. In addition, for those stores where it has made an appearance, they’re struggling to keep up with demand as stocks tend to run low quickly.
“I got a tiramisu cheesecake from Costco yesterday and wasn’t quite sure what to anticipate,” he/she writes.
Redditor Hike_in_the_snow
The person discovered this treat in Pennsylvania. “What I have here combines all the perfect elements of an espresso-infused cheesecake paired with creamy mascarpone cheese. It perfectly fulfills both my cravings for cheesecake and tiramisu simultaneously. I highly recommend trying one before they switch to their next flavor.”
Cotton Candy Kit Kats
Over the past few years, Kit Kat has experimented with various collaborations, combining their iconic chocolate-coated wafers with flavors like churros, pink lemonade, and raspberry cream. Now, they’re stepping out of their comfort zone by teaming up with cotton candy. This new Cotton Candy KitKat is exclusively sold at Costco and can only be found within a special variety pack that also contains chocolate and vanilla-flavored bars. Priced at $16.99 per pack, each kit includes about 100 small-sized treats; you can expect around one-third—or approximately 33—of these to feature the cotton candy taste.
Opinions about the Cotton Candy Kit Kat vary among redditors, as the concept of fluffy sugar interfering with Kit Kats displeases some true chocolate enthusiasts. However, maintaining an open mindset—or having a household full of children who adore all things cotton candy-flavored—could lead to a delightful experience. “I know it sounds odd, but I’ve enjoyed every new flavor besides vanilla; for me, it simply tastes like regular white chocolate,” comments user Rich_Disaster5202 on Reddit.
The initial report of discovering these Kit Kat bars came from a shopper in Washington State who shared their find at a nearby Costco back in early February. The timeline for rolling out these treats across all national outlets remains uncertain, however, so anticipate this to be a limited-edition variant. Once they vanish from store shelves, you can likely say goodbye until another release.
Slice
We’re all about a great redemption tale, and Slice—a former lemon-lime rival to Sprite from the 1980s—is making a resurgence. At least for now, you can find it in certain Costco stores. This time around, however,Slice has evolved beyond just copyingSprite;it’s positioning itselfas a “healthier” alternative similar to brands like Poppi and Olipop. In this new chapter, Slice comesin an arrayof flavors such asorange,lemon-lime,classiccolaandgrapefruitspritz.
As mentioned in a post from the Costco subreddit, an eight-pack of Slice beverages available at Costco costs $12.99, equating to approximately $1.62 per can. This variety pack includes four cans each of both orange and lemon-lime flavored drinks. It’s not surprising that Costco is among the select retailers stocking up on Slice early on since the brand was acquired by Suja Life—the same company behind Suja juices—which have been consistently stocked by the warehouse chain.
So what’s the verdict? ‘The orange one was acceptable but seemed quite dull,’ he mentions.
Reddit user Consister_Dark1550
“Lemon-lime flavor turned out to be surprisingly delightful; very revitalizing. I hope they offer an eight-pack of this variety.” The smart move here might involve telling your loved ones that the other flavors excel, so you can purchase large quantities and keep all the lemon-lime cans exclusively for yourself. After all, when it comes to beverages, everyone plays to win!
What other developments can we expect from Costco in 2025?
We already know the

The drink options are being refreshed, with Coca-Cola items taking over where Pepsi once stood. However, the major buzz surrounds changes happening at Costco’s fueling spots. Everyone enjoys saving money on gasoline, yet many aren’t fond of the restricted times for accessing this discounted fuel. In response to customer feedback, the operating hours at these filling stations have been expanded. Starting from as early as 6 a.m., you’ll be able to fill up your tank every day of the week. The service stations will stay open later during weekdays till 10 p.m.; they’ll close at 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 7:30 p.m. on Sundays. Keep in mind though, these timings might differ slightly when crossing into California or Hawaii.
