Get ready to indulge, Costco food court fans! The legendary warehouse known for its bulk bargains and delectable food court treats is stirring up some excitement with a delicious new addition. That’s right, chocolate ice cream has landed in the food court, and it’s causing quite the buzz among the Costco faithful.
Imagine this: after conquering the vast aisles of Costco, loading up your cart with everything from oversized peanut butter jars to enough toilet paper to last a siege, you spot it—a sign for chocolate ice cream at the food court. This isn’t just any chocolate ice cream; it’s a creamy, dreamy addition that’s available in a generous cup serving for just $1.99. And for those who can’t decide between their love of chocolate and vanilla, there’s no need to fret. You can opt for a twist of both flavors or jazz up your dessert with a drizzle of chocolate or strawberry topping for a mere 50 cents extra.
Long-time Costco shoppers might remember the days of chocolate frozen yogurt, a beloved treat that sadly left the menu back in 2018. Since then, the food court’s dessert lineup has been missing a certain cocoa-rich option, offering only vanilla and strawberry ice cream flavors. Well, it seems the chocolate gods have heard our pleas, as chocolate ice cream takes the stage once more, replacing last summer’s hit, the strawberry ice cream, to the delight of some and the dismay of others.
The responses from Costco’s dessert aficionados have been mixed, to say the least. “I prefer chocolate over strawberry ice cream any day, so I’m very happy about this!” exclaimed one thrilled Instagrammer. Meanwhile, a devoted strawberry fan mourned on Reddit, “Noooooo! Keep strawberry!” But one thing everyone seems to agree on? The chocolate ice cream’s quality is top-notch. “It was very good. The ice cream itself was just as rich and creamy as the vanilla, and the chocolate flavor was good. Tasted like high-quality bittersweet milk chocolate,” a satisfied customer shared.
But wait, there’s more! The chocolate ice cream isn’t the only newcomer to grace the Costco food court. A new double chocolate chunk cookie has also made its debut, packed with both bittersweet and semisweet chocolate, served warm, and priced at $2.49 for those in need of a serious chocolate fix. And for those seeking something a bit more savory, the recently introduced turkey and Swiss sandwich offers a hearty option, featuring oven-roasted turkey breast, Swiss cheese, and a sun-dried tomato spread, all for $6.99.
Whether you’re a die-hard chocolate enthusiast or simply in the mood to try something new, Costco’s food court is the place to be. So, the next time you’re navigating the land of bulk buys, make sure to stop by the food court and treat yourself to a scoop (or two) of the new chocolate ice cream. After all, shopping at Costco is not just about filling your pantry; it’s about savoring the little moments of joy, like discovering your new favorite dessert.
