Costco bakery fall 2026 at a glance

The Costco pumpkin pie is back (early)

Costco's pumpkin pie is one of its most famous seasonal items, sold since 1987. In 2026, shoppers spotted it as early as August 14. In 2024 it returned around August 19, and the earliest 2025 sighting was August 26, so this year's pie arrived roughly a week or two earlier than recent years.

• Price: $5.99 in the warehouse (online listings are higher)
• Size: 58 oz, about 3.6 lb
• Item number: 60809

At $5.99 for nearly four pounds of pie, it remains one of the best deals in the store. It's a fresh bakery item, so check the date on the label, and plan to buy it close to when you'll serve it for Thanksgiving.

Other pumpkin items this fall: pumpkin streusel muffins (8 for $6.99), a pumpkin bar cake ($16.99, about 20 slices) and a pumpkin cheesecake ($21.99).

Cherry Almond Coffee Cake ($11.99)

The newest Kirkland Signature coffee cake was first spotted on August 8, 2026, at a warehouse handing out samples, and it's been one of the most searched Costco bakery items since. It's a coffee cake with a tart cherry filling, almond streusel and donut sugar, made with real butter and eggs, at $11.99 for about 12 servings (item #1979069). Stock varies by location, and it may be a limited-time item, so grab it if you see it.

Mini croissant donuts ($9.99)

These went viral in June 2026: a box of 20 mini croissant donuts, 10 cinnamon sugar and 10 glazed, for $9.99. They're made by CT Bakery, a supplier, rather than baked in the warehouse. Availability has been limited to select warehouses, and by late summer some reports said they'd disappeared from shelves. If your warehouse has them, they're a better deal per donut than most donut shops.

Buttermilk biscuits ($6.99)

New Kirkland Signature buttermilk biscuits arrived in summer 2026: 10 for $6.99, heat-and-serve, with oven and microwave instructions on the package. They're made with buttermilk and palm oil rather than butter. Reviews are mixed (some find them dry), and they're best eaten within a day or two of purchase.

Blueberry custard pie ($18.99)

The blueberry custard pie appeared in June 2026: baked vanilla custard topped with fresh blueberries and an apricot glaze, for $18.99. Shoppers describe it as a big pie (over four pounds), but reactions have been lukewarm, with some calling it bland. Try a slice before you build a party around it.

Bagels: pretzel and cinnamon raisin

• Kirkland Signature Pretzel Bagels (new in July 2026): 8 for $4.99 at select bakeries. They're Bavarian-style and sold without salt.
• Cinnamon raisin bagels: after reports in 2025 that Costco had dropped them, shoppers say they're back in some warehouses as an 8-count for $4.99. Costco has also been moving bagels from 12-count multipacks to 8-count packs.

Can you return a Costco bakery item?

Costco's "Risk-Free 100% Satisfaction Guarantee" covers what it sells, with a few listed exceptions (such as electronics after 90 days). Bakery items aren't on the exceptions list, so if something isn't right, take it to the Returns counter.

And if a bakery item you bought drops in price within 30 days, Costco's price adjustment lets you ask for the difference. Seasonal items often get marked down as the season winds down.
