8 Most Beloved Costco Pumpkin Finds Of All Time

During the fall months of the year — and really, all year round — pumpkin is one of the best flavors for baked goods, snacks, and beyond. Luckily for any Costco shoppers out there, it's an excellent place to stock up on your pumpkin-flavored favorites. From baked treats to functional beverages, Costco has always pulled out all the stops to indulge its consumers' pumpkin cravings.

While you're wandering the aisles, you're likely to find more than a few different pumpkin-flavored offerings. Kirkland Signature makes several of its own pumpkin products, and the store carries many other brands that bust out pumpkin-flavored items seasonally. However, not all of these items are created equally, and some may not deliver the autumnal deliciousness you're looking for.

That's why we've consulted various internet forums — mostly Reddit — to get a sense of what customers think the all-time best Costco pumpkin products are. These items all represent the most beloved items featuring the flavor from Costco's collection. So grab a pumpkin spice latte from your favorite local coffee shop (or try making your own at home), and dream about these oft-mentioned Costco pumpkin faves.

Let's start with the simplest and most classic pumpkin treat of them all: pumpkin pie. Although Costco's version of the dessert isn't our favorite from the store's bakery, it's still one that's widely beloved by Costco shoppers. Pumpkin pie isn't something everyone wants to make at home, after all, so being able to pick up such a comforting treat from a grocery store bakery like Costco is nice.

Plenty of shoppers have posted online to express how much they love the store's pumpkin pie, with one Redditor claiming that it's the best and that they loved whoever made the pies at Costco. A different commenter on the post mentioned how much they love picking up the pies for Thanksgiving since they were busy cooking other dishes. And others specifically highlighted what a good deal the pie is, making for an economical, sharable dessert.

On another thread, a Reddit user who claimed to be a baker said the store's pumpkin pie is so cheap that Costco must lose money on it. Still another says that it freezes well, which makes it easy to pick up a few of them at the beginning of the season so you have them on hand all fall long. Of course, if you're the kind of person who loves pumpkin pie all year long, you can always stash one in the back of the freezer to enjoy in March.

Pumpkin pie is fun and all, but it's such a classic that it doesn't quite have the novelty and appeal some of us look for in seasonal desserts. That's where Costco's Kirkland Signature pumpkin cheesecake comes into play. It's arguably a more exciting take on a pumpkin dessert, with a good mixture of the cool creaminess cheesecake is known for paired with the warm, comforting flavors of pumpkin. It also comes with an airy whipped topping and toasted graham crumbles for a more interesting texture.

With all of these tasty elements in place, it shouldn't be a surprise that this Costco pumpkin find has plenty of fans. One Reddit user celebrated when it was back at the store for the season, specifically calling out the frosting. Another wrote that the pumpkin flavor isn't too strong, which is nice for those who just want a hint of pumpkin.

A different Redditor posted a picture at the Costco food court showing their cheesecake had already been cut into — and you know a treat is good when you can't even make it home before digging in. Someone who commented on that post responded that the dessert is the "perfect fusion of cheesecake and pumpkin pie." Still another customer said that it's something they think about all year long until it comes back into stores. That's certainly enough praise to encourage us to give it a try.

Celebrating autumn with something sweet shouldn't be reserved solely for dessert after dinner. If you're looking for a treat you can enjoy first thing in the morning, Kirkland Signature pumpkin streusel muffins from Costco are worth checking out. Sold in a pack of eight, they come with a streusel topping that makes them more interesting than a standard, unadorned muffin. But what do Costco shoppers have to say about this bakery section treat? It turns out that many of them are fans.

One Reddit user wrote these muffins were so good that they had to freeze some to save for later — otherwise, they were worried they may finish them all too quickly. Another was so happy when the product returned to stores that they decided to post on Reddit about it. This user said their family microwaved the muffins in the morning so they were hot and steamy, ostensibly making them taste even more decadent. A commenter on the post agreed that these muffins are excellent and said that they enjoyed eating them with their morning coffee.

On another post, a different Redditor also paired their Kirkland Signature pumpkin streusel muffin with a cup of what looks like black coffee. But a commenter on this post said that they preferred to double up on the pumpkin flavor and eat their muffin with a pumpkin spice latte. Sounds like a dream come true for all the pumpkin lovers out there.

As much as you may enjoy picking up Costco's pumpkin baked goods during the fall, no grocery store bakery can truly compete with a freshly baked homemade pumpkin treat. If you plan on whipping up a pumpkin recipe of your own, you may want to pick up some Libby's Pumpkin Puree from Costco the next time you're there. Using a canned pumpkin brand puree is much easier than processing a whole pumpkin yourself, and having some on hand during the fall months of the year can be a good idea if you're a baker, or if you like making a savory homemade pumpkin soup.

According to many commenters on one Reddit post about the best canned pumpkin brands for pumpkin pie, Libby's is the best option out there. Not only is the texture and flavor of the pumpkin solid, but it's also a really consistent product according to customers. This is important because you don't want your pie (or other pumpkin dishes) to taste totally different every time you make it. Even after trying plenty of other brands, one commenter wrote they always find themselves going back to Libby's.

On a different thread, another Reddit user posted a picture of two opened cans of pumpkin puree next to each other. The Libby's variety looked darker and thicker, and the poster clearly liked it more. Luckily, Costco stocks the beloved brand, so you can grab some the next time you shop there.

Just because you want to indulge in a pumpkin-flavored dessert doesn't mean you want to stick with pie, or even with Kirkland Signature's pumpkin cheesecake. For something different and a little bit unexpected, Alden's Organic Pumpkin Cheesecake Sandwiches are a treat that many shoppers enjoy.

One Reddit poster called them "super bomb" and said they were addictive. Another on the same thread agreed, echoing just how delicious the sandwiches are. An additional commenter said their household finished the entire box in one day, while complaining that they all had stomach pain later. That's definitely a vote of confidence in this pumpkin-flavored product at Costco (and a warning to try and control your intake).

You don't have to look far to find other positive comments about Alden's autumnal cheesecake sandwiches, either. Yet another Redditor wrote these are tasty if you tend to like pumpkin spice desserts generally, and a different reviewer raved that they're "impressively good" in October 2023. With praise like this, it's clear this unique offering is one of Costco's most beloved pumpkin finds of all time.

Whether you grew up eating Entenmann's Little Bites muffins or packing your kids' lunchboxes with them, you probably know this is a nostalgic-packaged pastry. There are the classic flavors, of course, like chocolate chip and blueberry. But what about when you're craving something a little more seasonal during the fall? That's when you need to try the brand's pumpkin mini muffins, which are also available at Costco.

A Reddit user claimed these muffins were tasty in a junk food subreddit, while a TikTok reviewer praised the treats' moistness and softness. Two YouTube reviewers also tried these muffins on camera and noted the muffins have a pumpkin bread vibe to them. Apparently, the pumpkin flavor isn't super strong, but there's enough there to offer a hint of pumpkin. Since it seems like these are probably geared more toward kids, it makes sense that the pumpkin flavor might be a bit milder and subtler here. And while they may not be on quite the same level as the bakery's freshly prepared pumpkin treats, this Little Bites flavor offers a more portable taste of something sweet and pumpkin-y.

Just because you're trying to meet your protein goals doesn't mean you have to give up on the pumpkin-flavored treats during the fall. In fact, Premier Protein has a seasonal pumpkin spice shake that you can pick up at Costco. The shake offers a solid way to get more protein into your diet relatively easily (you're looking at 30 grams of it per bottle), while packing plenty of that pumpkin spice flavor you love.

It seems like there are plenty of shoppers out there who adore this Premier Protein flavor and look forward to it annually. In a Reddit thread where one poster asked about how the flavor tasted, one commenter said that they didn't usually like pumpkin, but they still enjoyed this stuff. Another claimed there's a good balance of pumpkin flavor, where you can taste some pumpkin notes, but they're not so strong that they become overpowering.

Another Reddit user praised this on a subreddit about protein-rich snacks, noting it helps you get into the cozy spirit of the season. Another commenter on the same thread wrote that they purchased two boxes of them so they could enjoy the shakes throughout the autumn. For pumpkin spice-loving protein-maxxers, this Costco find might just be the ultimate fall protein cheat code.

Want to get in on the pumpkin goodness at Costco without totally leaning into a strong pumpkin flavor? Enter Kirkland Signature's Cashew Clusters with Almonds and Pumpkin Seeds. This rich, nutty snack is nice to have on hand when you want something filling, crunchy, and satisfying. Plus, it looks like it would be an excellent hiking snack. Although cashews play the starring role here, the addition of pumpkin seeds gives this snack a slight seasonal flair that you can technically enjoy all year long.

Some Costco shoppers can't get enough of these cashew clusters. One Reddit user posted about them on r/Costco just to mention how good they are. A different person on the same thread said they can't buy them anymore because they would finish the bag too quickly — that's how good they are — while another customer praised their pleasant blend of sweet and salty flavors.

There was even one r/Costco poster who asked a compelling question in 2024 about the brand's cashew clusters: "Is there a better nut snack on the market?" In reply, at least one respondent said this was their favorite Costco product. In other words, you absolutely can indulge in a Costco pumpkin treat without opting for a straight-up dessert.
