Costco bakery muffins are HUGE. If they're smaller now than they used to be, I'd argue maybe that's a good thing.
> They’re always in far-off places
My Costco is only about 1 1/2 miles away. Literally walked there for lunch once.

Odd, the author mentions living in Portland, and every Costco in the Portland metro area has skylights.
- stantaylor 6mo ago> They’re always in far-off places That's yet another thinly disguised case of punching down: the author wants you to know that they are not the type of person who lives close to a Costco, typically in the suburbs. This author's attitude is so tiresome.

- slumberlust 6mo agoOut of all the things I enjoy buying at Costco, the bakery section is mostly a miss. Cookies are bland and they make you buy bottom tier flavors like oatmeal to subsidize the macadamia's. Muffins are bland and tasteless. Bagels are just circular bread instead of a nice chewy outside. They also use carraway seeds in their everything seasoning, so too much licorice for my personal tastes. At .50 a pop I have no complaints on the croissants. Maybe the East coast bakery just can't compete, but I find time and time again I want to buy something yummy and can't find anything that is worth it.
