This Nearly 5-Pound Bakery Favorite Is Back at Costco for a Limited Time

We love a good dessert. And while we appreciate the sweet treats that never fail us year-round, we are especially fond of the ones offered seasonally. There is something about the anticipation of waiting for that special dessert that helps make our holiday a little sweeter. 

Costco has one of our favorite holiday desserts and is bringing it back just in time for Thanksgiving: pumpkin cheesecake. And, just like other Costco fans, we cannot wait to enjoy a slice (or three).

Costco’s Pumpkin Cheesecake Is Back for a Limited Time

This week, a Costco shopper’s Instagram account confirmed that the famous pumpkin cheesecake is back for the season. Fans on Reddit have shared their love for the seasonal treat, saying it’s the one dessert they “think about all year.” “It is the best item in the bakery,” one user wrote, while another said it’s perfect without being too sweet.

Several years ago, a self-proclaimed Costco bakery worker wrote about how the dessert was made on a Reddit thread. The worker noted that the pumpkin cheesecake with graham cracker crust is made “from scratch in the bakery.” It uses canned pumpkin for the filling, along with sour cream, sugar, and pumpkin spice. 

Costco’s nearly 5-pound pumpkin cheesecake is priced at $19.99 at most locations—slightly higher than last year but still an excellent value for its size and quality. As a seasonal item, the cheesecake usually makes its comeback each November before Thanksgiving, so keep checking in with your local location to see if it’s available yet in your area. It is only offered for a limited time, so if you see it, grab it!
