Costco fans know the food court is full of surprises, and lately it feels like the warehouse retailer keeps dropping new menu items that shoppers can’t stop talking about. Now, another new dessert at Costco is getting attention online, and fans say it might be one of the most tempting additions yet.
The buzz is all about a new $2.99 churro caramel sundae, shown by @costcohotfinds. The sweet treat combines ice cream with one of the most beloved pastry flavors around. The dessert starts with a base of soft serve—available in vanilla, chocolate or swirl—and is topped with salted caramel sauce and crunchy little churro bites. On my way!
A Classic Flavor Combo That Just Works
In Costco’s new churro-inspired dessert, the creamy soft serve contrasts with the crispy churro bites, while the salted caramel adds a rich drizzle that ties everything together.
Sweet-and-salty combinations like this are popular for a reason. The slight saltiness of caramel helps balance the sweetness of the cinnamon sugar coating on the churros, creating a dessert that tastes indulgent. Add in the creamy texture of Costco’s famous soft serve, and it’s easy to see why shoppers are curious to try it.

Costco Shoppers Are Already Talking About It
The new dessert is already making waves on social media, where fans are sharing videos and photos of the sweet treat. Commenters say it looks delicious and joke that Costco’s food court did it again with another crave-worthy dessert.
The release has also sparked a bit of nostalgia among longtime shoppers. Some fans in the comments are asking Costco to bring back the classic churros that used to be sold at the food court, which were removed from many locations in recent years.
For now, the churro-inspired sundae might be the closest thing to that beloved menu item.
According to commenters online, the dessert doesn’t appear to be available at every Costco location yet, suggesting the rollout may still be expanding to more warehouses. That means shoppers might want to keep an eye on their local food court menu the next time they visit.
If you do happen to spot it, it might be worth grabbing one—or a few to share. With warm-weather shopping trips ahead, a creamy sundae topped with churro bites and caramel could be the perfect way to end a Costco run.
