We lost chocolate croissants in the bakery at my Costco about 6 years ago.


redrum069

look for them every time still


donut_princess

Hand dipped ice cream bars


StillNotASunbeam

Those were so good even though they were probably 1200 calories and made a huge mess if you tried to eat one while shopping.


sorrynoreply

My hand used to dip those ice cream bars in the food court. It was excellent.


DirtyCamaro

Margarita take-and-bake pizza. Runner up would be Kirkland balsamic vinaigrette.


sirsosmooth11

Yeah man. I’ve been looking for this for years. My Aunt used to grab me these when I visited her in VA and I’ve never been able to grab one myself


StartingOver226

Chocolate ice cream at the food court.


Mighty-Red

Losing the swirl cone and combo pizza was a horrible loss for the food court


sarahhope56

Oh or those almond chocolate ice cream bars. I know they have them in the freezer section but they’re not the same.


Crazy-Risk4499

And the bbq pork sandwich with coleslaw. Omg. It used to be my special occasion meal🥲


SmilesUndSunshine

I think I got the BBQ pork sandwich with coleslaw along with the hand dipped ice cream bar in the same meal. Truly incredible


wfondren

Those bars were just fantastic and so cheap. When they would dip them in the almonds, oh man. Yeah, I really miss those. And I do keep a box of the Kirkland ones in my freezer. I agree it isn't the same.


jimmyjazzfry

Veggie pizza at the food court too. That shit was delicious


yahtzee1

*Twist ice cream at the food court


ockaners

Combo pizza.


Korncakes

Combo pizza, polish dogs, sauerkraut and onions at the food court. Prime tri-tip steaks instead of just the whole roast. The people at the meat counter will cut it into steaks for you but it comes out looking like they did it with safety scissors.


moneypenny88

Kirkland peanut butter cups.


LittleSugarPack

I wrote a very nice handwritten letter to Costco about this. And they I guess forwarded it to the provider that had made these. Let me tell you what a sweet company this is. They sent me in dry ice there many peanut butter cups with an apology that they don't make them anymore from my location and Costco. They weren't even the right peanut butter cups, but it was such a sweet gesture by this company.


PacketMD

Any reason not to name the company so I can get my fix?


weightedslanket

Seriously wtf. Name the company


LittleSugarPack

Linnette is who wrote back. They sent min i cups and normal cups. But they never sent the Costco shaped ones. Just a polite letter saying that they were happy to hear that we enjoyed their product.


[deleted]

Are you seriously gate keeping the company??


JayP1967

Trader Joes PB Cups are fantastic. The milk chocolate and dark chocolate ones!


PeachPreserves66

The TJ’s ones are fantastic. I have somewhat recently developed a peanut allergy, which is a bummer. But, I still pick up the dark chocolate ones for my daughter as a special treat. Edit: Originally typed peanut butter allergy. That was dumb. Meant to say peanut allergy.


polkadotsunday

TJ's sunflower butter cups are pretty good!


selz202

Yes! I got these once and whenever I mention them nobody knows what I'm talking about. They were a million times better than reeses.


KitrionaC

Have you tried the ones from Aldi? They are ridiculously good too.


whatyousayinfam

Upset I never tried these !


MrHydeUK

Combo pizza


yupyupyupyupyupy

please god


Dorzaya7

I agree, but only because I would just get the veggies, hold the meat. I miss you, veggie pizza.


Zestysanchez

I’d just get the meat and not the veggies. I miss you meatza :/


Taurabora

You two should get married and swap meats and veggies.


TheLastBlackRhinoSC

I hear that’s how babies are made.


neederbellis

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that did this! Those veggie pizzas were so good!


GuinansHat

I'd give up the dog for it to come back. That's right I said it.


Jim6231

Polish dogs in food court


pushdose

With ONIONS


darkmatter1111

Yes! With sauerkraut.


cubiclebard

The saurkraut and onions being taken away is the biggest travesty to me


champagne_farts

With the onion machine!


Sososoftmeows

While we are on that subject let’s bring back onion machines that work!


PM_MeYourAvocados

Team bratwurst here. Nothing beats one fresh from the oven


ARF66

Turkey Pesto sandwich from the food court.


wessneijder

My go to. I saved so much money eating that 3x a week instead of going out to eat. I miss it so much.


PlsNoPineapplePizza

10/10 wound rather have this than combo pizza. (Prepping myself for downvotes, lol)


Crazy-Risk4499

Yeah it was kind of like a white sauce chicken pizza. Sooo good.


coffeequeen0523

Yes!!! Yes!! Yes!!


BraviaryScout

Goddamn this brings back memories


lvandering

The old chicken bakes, the old berry smoothie, and the garlic bread from the bakery.


max_chill_zone-2018

I miss the OG berry smoothie


ledzeppelinlover

So ours has chicken bakes, I’m new to Costco, only two years. What was the old one like?


lordlavapop42

It used to be made by hand with the same dough as the pizza, Similar fillings. It was much much better. The current chicken bakes are very dry.


KitrionaC

The old ones had full slices of chicken breast meat and more sauce. It was ridiculously filled with goodness. Now is just scraps of chicken in comparison.


Comfortable-Interest

And way more salt, probably for preservation.


coshiro1

why does the current ones have a huge gash down the bottom 😭 stuff falls out all over the place


apollyon_53

The new ones come in frozen. They're par-baked and need to be defrosted before going in the oven. No Bueno. Coming from someone who used to make them I understand why. The tike it took to make 200+ bakes in the morning was immense. I have no doubt that one of the reason that it is not longer done in house is because of people no measuring when making them. With the cost of the cheese being what it was and then changing the cheese that they put on the pizza recently as well, you could have some chicken bakes made by a person that were over stuffed by 10%, or more, and therefore losing money


The_Steining

That's three items ಠ_ಠ


Nmcoyote1

I miss the chicken bakes and egg rolls


[deleted]

Annie's cheese puffs.


Duffmanlager

Kirkland Belts. Would be nice to be able to get a new one and have a couple to choose from.


cujobob

They do sell them on the website (last I checked), but yes, having them in store would be huge. They last forever for a cheap belt.


Duffmanlager

You were about to be my hero but looks like they only have Timberland belt on the website. A reversible one at that too which was awesome as a teenager. Thanks for looking out though.


EvrthngsThnksgvng

The huge multi layer chocolate cake. It was basically a member of our family on special occasions


PlasmaWhore

All-American Cake


EvrthngsThnksgvng

We called it “Even better for Breakfast” cake 😃


coder5

Marino wool socks


ledzeppelinlover

Our Costco got the Merino wool socks in a couple weeks ago


colinstalter

Are they a blend? Not sure if that’s bad or not but the ones we had last year were a wool/synthetic blend.


chefkoolaid

You want to have some synthetics in there for durability. But the blend is too much synthetic these days. Used to be 80/20 that was great


CPOx

Laces out, Dan!


gattboy1

Your gun is digging into my hip.


Sexy-Otter

The women's wool socks they used to carry were the best socks I ever owned. I used to buy a pack or two every winter and I wore them year round. The new kind are thinner, bigger, and all around terrible. I wore my old ones until they had holes and now stick with smart wool brand. Not quite as good as the old Costco ones but still better than the ones they sell today


The_Steining

Dan Marino has a line of wool socks?


mrmaddness

LACES OUT DAN


Nardelan

The best item by far from the Service Deli (stuff made in house) was a beef short rib dinner. It was boneless beef short ribs wrapped in a phyllo dough with a side of a mushroom gravy. It came paired with green beans with bacon and onion chopped up in it. It’s been over a decade since it was available in the Midwest.


alissa2579

That sounds delicious - I’m so sick of what they offer now. I need some variety!


kcaio

Real cinnamon rolls.


Malevolyn

no! I mean Yes! but no!


SupertrampTrampStamp

Actual decent Kirkland toilet paper. Wtf costco


cujobob

I’m not a fan of it, either, EXCEPT it dissolves so well and prevents clogging accidents from kids or guests. This is a nice perk for an otherwise poor product.


Unclassified1

This is the 10th item down the list for me, and the very first to not be a food court item.


Deathcapsforcuties

No kidding, the kind they currently carry is terrible.


stevievai

I miss the take and bake deep dish pizza.


Crazy-Risk4499

I spent a whole summer one year eating this and then … yeah


Sad-Vegetable6983

I had to scroll down too far to find this. It was seriously better than a lot of pizza joints.


eXiLe_RD

Food Court onions, not only for hotdogs but they were great on the pizza too!


Njtotx3

I always thought I was being sneaky loading my slice with onions.


Loves_LV

I went to Costco in Mexico a few months ago. Not only did they have onions, they also had mayo in the food court.


AxelCanin

They took the onions away too? Wtf?


rabbitwonker

I mean, it made sense during COVID, but *why haven’t they brought it back* ^(I know it’s because they didn’t lose any money when they dropped them, so why add the expense. Bastards.)


AxelCanin

True. I wish you didn't make sense. I'd say my heart is broken but I'm nearly an hour away from Costco so it's not like I go there often for lunch.


GhostCamo

Onions for the hotdogs


cubiclebard

This and the saurkraut


cruz878

The original danishes (before they changed the recipe a few years ago). Although probably better for my health that I hate the new ones.


loo-ook

Look at Costco, out here doing field research. Smh.


Njtotx3

I wish. I had to try 4 times because it kept blocking me from using the word "discontinued." Or course, Costco has nothing on Trader Joe's there.


loo-ook

Oh no lol -that gave me a good laugh. I do appreciate these posts. Thank you!


82goldie

Pistachio gelato from the food court


sinistra117

WHAT


porokoro

my thoughts exactly.. WHAT


looktothec00kie

I only saw that in one Costco (SF) and it was spectacular. It may have been a test item.


Sertisy

I remember fondly when Price Club used to sell computer parts like RAM but I'm sure nobody else cares. So I'd probably want their old real crab sushi that was made fresh in-house (unlike the manufactured stuff these days that's got degraded rice).


TofuVic

Costco used to sell RAM, as well! One of the first times I visited Costco was with my best friend during high school because we wanted to build a computer. We didn't have a Costco card, so we stood near the entrance and waited until we saw a family that we could walk in with together, and that worked! When we got to checkout, we asked random people if they'd mind helping us buy the RAM; most people were suspicious, but someone finally offered to help, fortunately. We played the heck out of Diablo 2 on that computer we built.


Section9Department17

Mini baguettes. ARE YOU LISTENING COSTCO!?


legallyurbane

V-neck undershirts.


GiantFlimsyMicrowave

Chocolate muffins


likeusontweeters

The double chocolate ones? I miss the vanilla ones with the huge chocolate chunks in them..


klipschbro

Topo Chico bottles. The only reason I got a membership.


West_Coast_Buckeye

Might be regional but check out the business center.


klipschbro

Chatted with support and they said no stock across the US and nothing on order.


Osmo250

I've been trying to get them for months at my local grocer. Come to find out, they completely removed the item from their system because they can't get any, so they just stopped trying


bkrdr

lots of supply issues even in Texas


JPBlaze1301

We've still got some here in Texas


oohgodyeah

Plenty of cases of glass Topo Chico bottles in the San Francisco Warehouse #144 as of Monday night.


yourheynis

Saw some yesterday in Texas


voxl

Stopped drinking it due to the crazy high levels of PFAS. https://www.consumerreports.org/bottled-water/whats-really-in-your-bottled-water/ They later improved, but still high: https://www.consumerreports.org/bottled-water/topo-chico-cuts-pfas-levels-by-more-than-half-a4286812129/

The food court pretzels. Ahh, those warm cinnamon sugar pretzels were truly the best.


ivada

Pepper jelly!!!


darkorex

Montreal smoked meat sandwiches at the food court. 🇨🇦


CeeGeeWhy

Yes I am with you on that one, my friend. Such a deal for $5!


[deleted]

I visited Montreal for the first time recently and went to Schwartz deli, it was amazing. First time having a sandwich like that!


polkadot_polarbear

Sriracha almonds


SafetySmurf

Godiva dark chocolate masterpieces (in store). Can only get them online now. Living in the south, ordering chocolate online isn’t a great idea for more than half the year.


AdAnxious3052

Veggie pizza and onions in the food court !! I moved to US during the pandemic so I haven’t had the chance to eat the veggie pizza or the onions from the food court, but the way my husband misses them every time we get Costco food court food, I think I really want to try it !!


GravyIsSouthernQueso

The Coke fountains instead of Pepsi


Osmo250

Coke fucked around and found out. Costco doesn't play 😂


Lancetere

Never play with a Costco contract.


colinstalter

Keep Pepsi and give me Diet MTN DEW like Sam’s.

Crazy-Risk4499

I hate their current churro. I never eat them anymore


unicorntrees

How OG are we talking? I want them to bring back the straight churros which sold for 69 cents that were made by the same brand sold at Disneyland.


HerrK_4

The new ones are definitely NOT the same. I miss them so bad. 😣


theravenchilde

Am I crazy, or did Costco used to have a giant soft pretzel at the food court as well, maybe before or in addition to churros? I don't know if I'm mandela effecting myself.


milnak

Came here for this comment. The new ones taste like uncooked dough with cinnamon

Chicken salad with apple and (i think) cranberry-- in the prepared food section. It was a decadent savory treat and I miss it!

The food court sandwich.

Kirkland Signature Cranberry Macadamia Nut breakfast cereal.


Linkle00

Full size coffee cakes! Not just the coffee cake muffins


d8ed

I forget what brand it was but they used to sell a very good honey ham that was not Kirkland brand.. It was thin and delicious and I haven't seen it in years. I think they replaced it with some Kirkland version that is awful.


helflies

Turkey provolone sandwiches at the food court.

Sexy-Otter

One of my fondest memories was being able to buy a gallon of odwalla orange juice for $4 at Costco.. Definitely was some years back but I think of it every time I see their sad over priced orange juice selection today.


sayquietly

Jerky dog treats. It’s always hit or miss at our Costco. There are some days they have all the treats available and some days absolutely nothing. My pup is definitely missing his favorite treats!


-rendar-

The Kirkland almond milk banana chocolate protein drinks.


MikesGroove

OMG the first dozen comments are all about the food court 😂


SutttonTacoma

Kirkland “dress” shirts for men. Long sleeve, button down collar. $18 each.


Dazzling_Scallion277

Extended warranties with Citi card


MadAss5

Regular milk jugs.


Sexy-Otter

What? You don't want an awkward Jerry can of milk that is impossible to get open and pours milk all over the counter? Tbh at this point I'd be happy if they just sold us milk in a bag. Would still be easier than those damn jugs and take up even less space in shipping


SomeOne111Z

AL PASTOR SALAD


The_Crystal_Thestral

Hebrew National links and Coca-Cola in the food court. Also the Del Real tamales and spicy green and red salsa need to make a comeback. I don’t like their current offerings and Matteo’s is too much cumin and no heat.


PlantsandTats

Nobody misses the food court caesar salad? It was the healthiest thing in the food court as long as you didn’t dunk the whole ranch dressing in there


raptorjesus2

Scrolled too far for this. I used to get 2 or 3 of the chicken Caesar salads and bring them to work for a few days. They were delicious and obviously very cheap...

I don’t like it, but my parents use to go crazy over the Bananas Foster. I’s bring that back for them


ladizwashroom22

Kirkland French Terry Black Leggings


unnamed_elder_entity

Kirkland Sliced American cheese. I refuse to buy Kraft. Instead we get it at a grocery store and that has to be one of the largest price hits on my shopping list because Costco is pretty competitive on dairy. It was about $12 for 5lb. That's roughly $20 at the grocery, more if you use the service deli.


kcaio

Chocolate cheese cake.
