Costco shoppers were ecstatic when they recently learned that the retailer was planning to debut a brand-new dessert in its beloved food court.
This popular new dessert is strawberry ice cream, a fruity alternative to Costco's plain vanilla ice cream cups and vanilla ice cream sundaes.
The ice cream just started arriving at warehouses within the past few days, finally giving members the opportunity to sample it after a roughly month-long wait.
One of the members compared the taste of the ice cream to strawberry-flavored Nesquick milk. Another taster described it as "creamy" and said the strawberry flavor wasn't too faint or overwhelming.
Costco members can order cups of this light pink frozen treat or experiment with several exciting variations.
The strawberry ice cream debut is only the latest change at Costco's food court in 2023. The retailer delighted fans in May when it brought back the previously discontinued chicken Caesar salad and diced onion condiment.
Costco has also launched a sizable new roast beef sandwich and mango smoothie (previously only available in Hawaii and other international locations), though customers haven't taken too kindly to the new additions.
Customers were outraged to see that Costco is charging $9.99 for the roast beef sandwich, mostly because they think the item is way too expensive in comparison to other food court options.
