Kirkland Signature Blueberry Sourdough Bread
Price: $8.99
Blueberry bread? Yes, this new-ish bakery item is a sweet loaf with a subtly tangy sourdough appeal. Fans praise this product for a bounty of berries and its massive two-pound size.

Price: $9.99
As if Blueberry Cheesecake Caramelized Croissants weren't good enough, Costco decided to add another indulgent option to the store's bakery lineup.
The twice-baked pistachio version was an instant hit that shoppers crave. One Reddit user gushed, "Literally the best item in the bakery if you're a fan of pistachio. #1 and it's not even close."

Kirkland Signature Tuxedo Chocolate Mousse Bar Cake
Price: $18.99
While seasonal sweets have their place, the classic tuxedo cake is one of (if not the) most iconic bars from the warehouse club's bakery. Rich layers of decadent dark chocolate cake, dreamy chocolate mousse, vanilla and white chocolate mousse (with brownie chunks), a dark chocolate ganache, and chocolate shavings make this a must-have dessert.
Kirkland Signature Blueberries and Cream Muffins
Price: $6.99
Costco shoppers weren't sure about the somewhat recent (depending on where you live) change to the muffins in the bakery section. But the smaller eight-count is still a top choice. This delicately dreamy blueberries-and-cream flavor is the ideal breakfast or brunch side. Hint: Top it with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, a pat of butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
Kirkland Signature Sweet and Salty Cookies
Price: $10.99
Carmel bits and pretzels give these cookies a sweet-and-salty flavor that made one shopper say, "This is one case where the name actually reflects the taste."
