A Flaky New Bakery Drop at Costco Is Hard To Pass Up

There’s something about taking it easy on a weekend morning with a cup of coffee and a fresh pastry. And if you’ve been looking for something new to add to the routine, Costco’s latest bakery drop is hard to walk past.

This new addition looks a little more elevated than the usual pastry find. Between the golden layers, crunchy topping, and rich filling, it’s a dessert that stands out instantly in the bakery aisle.

Costco’s New Twice-Baked Pistachio-Filled Croissants Are Packed With Pistachio Cream

The Twice-Baked Pistachio-Filled Croissants look every bit as good as they sound, which probably explains why Laura grabbed the last pack on the table. The flaky pastries are filled with pistachio cream and topped with even more pistachio filling, chopped pistachios, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Pistachios work especially well in pastries like these because the flavor feels slightly nutty and rich without being overly heavy. The filling also gives the croissants a softer texture inside, balancing the crisp outer layers from the second bake.

And because they’re coming from Costco, it’s hard to beat the price. A six-pack of freshly baked croissants sells for $9.99, making them an easy choice for weekend brunch, office treats, or mornings when a regular pastry just isn’t cutting it. 

They also pair especially well with coffee or espresso, making them feel like a bakery treat you would normally pay much more for at a café. And if dessert is more the goal, these also work well warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

As with most Costco bakery drops, availability may vary by warehouse. And just like last summer’s strawberry rhubarb pastries, these won’t last long once word gets out — especially with comments like “Ohhhh well I know what I’m getting from Costco next time” and “Drooling over here.”

So if there’s been any hesitation about getting a Costco run done early Saturday morning, these pistachio-filled croissants might be enough to change that.
