Costco shoppers have seen plenty of bakery surprises over the years, from layer cakes and cookie creations to giant pies and fruit-filled breads. But one longtime staple had somehow never shown up fresh in the warehouse bakery case until now. Costco is now selling its first-ever house-made buttermilk biscuits, and shoppers are already treating them like a major breakfast find.
The Southern-style biscuits are baked fresh in-house with real buttermilk. At $6.99 for a pack of 10, they offer a low-cost option for breakfast, dinner or even dessert. Costco shoppers say the biscuits are buttery, fluffy and taste just like homemade.
The appeal of buttermilk is part of the story. It helps biscuits rise tall and soft while adding the tender crumb and tang many people expect from a proper Southern biscuit. The biscuits are described as being so large they almost look like cathead biscuits.

Fans have been quick to celebrate the new item online. One shopper called the release “an actual dream come true,” while another said, “OMGGGG I absolutely need TO TRY these—I am #1 biscuit lover”. Others are already planning to pair them with sausage gravy, jam or even use them for strawberry shortcakes.
Costco recommends warming the biscuits in the oven or air fryer before serving. That should make them ready for butter, jam or a more savory breakfast plate. For a warehouse chain known for oversized portions and crowd-pleasing deals, the biscuits may be one of its strongest bakery additions yet.
