There's a time and a place for savory breakfast foods; not every day can be a bacon and eggs day. Variety is the spice of life, after all. So it's perhaps no surprise that, in our lineup of the five best breakfast pastries at Sam's Club, the Member's Mark Danish Variety Pack made the cut for its knockout flaky texture and outstanding depth of flavor. You can make your own cream cheese and assorted fruit Danish recipe for the morning meal, but Sam's Club's bakery-worthy contender makes it convenient to capture those flavors at home.

Member's Mark Danishes are baked fresh in Sam's Club stores every day. Each package contains four rich flavors: two cream cheese, one apple cinnamon, and one tart cherry. The four-pack currently costs $5.98 on the Sam's Club website, which shakes out to about $1.50 per Danish. The whole package has a net weight of 16.5 ounces, placing each Danish around the four-ounce mark — a considerable size for a satisfying treat. 

On the palate, these Danishes arrive sweet, yet not overly so. The flaky dough is brushed in a glistening glaze, which performs triple-duty by lending a touch of sweetness, creating an enticing gloss over every pastry, and locking in moisture. In addition to the classic cream cheese, the chunky, spiced apple and juicy cherry fillings keep things interesting from the start of the package to the end, able to please a household of folks with different tastes.

We aren't alone in our praise, either. The nearly 35,000 customer reviews posted to the warehouse website give this item an impressive average rating of 4.2 out of 5 stars. Fans enthusiastically praise the variety of flavors, with one saying that it's "a solid, easy breakfast option; especially with coffee. I like to warm them in the oven at 200 while getting ready, and they come out nice, warm, and gooey." Others mention that the pastries hold up well in the freezer for long storage between grocery trips: "I keep them wrapped individually in the freezer and reheat on 330 in the airfryer."

As always, it's worth keeping individual preference in mind. Some customers say they wish the bready part of the pastry was sweeter, while others write that they find the fruit filling flavors too sweet as it is. Even so, these Danishes are simple and classic, yet inherently elevated. Some might even argue that they belong on the list of the absolute best Sam's Club desserts. On the breakfast table, they make a dimensional counterbalance to savory dishes like omelets or smoky red flannel hash. For dessert, these pastries would make a satisfyingly follow-up to a comforting, cold-weather pot roast dinner. And if you aren't cooking at home, the package makes an ultra-portable dish-to-share for office parties or leisurely weekend brunch at a friend's house.
