- Costco launched a new 4.5-pound Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake for $22.99, featuring creamy cheesecake, strawberry filling, buttery streusel topping, and graham cracker crust.

In many ways, strawberries are the ultimate summer treat. Providing a delicious balance of sweet and slightly tart flavors, it’s no surprise that most people eagerly look forward to this berry’s peak season.
While we’ll always enjoy a bowl of fresh-picked strawberries on their own, Costco has just given shoppers one more way to enjoy the season’s signature fruit. And if shoppers’ early reactions to the dessert are any indication, Costco members won’t want to miss this new bakery treat.
Costco debuts 4.5-pound Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake
As numerous shoppers have reported on social media (and I saw at my local warehouse), Costco has officially debuted a brand-new Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake. Weighing 4.5 pounds, the new bakery item features Costco’s signature cheesecake topped with strawberry filling and a buttery streusel topping, all on a graham cracker crust.
Retailing for $22.99, the latest addition to Costco’s bakery could be a convenient option for anyone looking for a quick and easy dessert to serve at their next summer get-together. It’s equally well suited for a quiet night in, ideally with a strong cup of coffee and an extra dollop of whipped cream on each hearty slice.
Online reactions to the “best cheesecake on the planet”
While most Costco desserts gain plenty of attention from frequent shoppers, the Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake has already generated especially enthusiastic reactions online. The Costco-centric food blogger @costcohotfinds, for example, had nothing but positive things to say about the new cake, referring to it as one of the hottest finds in Costco’s bakery section right now.
“There’s a new Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake that you can easily get 12 to 14 slices out of,” the blogger shared on Instagram. “I also feel like Costco has the best cheesecake on the planet, and the strawberry topping on this adds the perfect sweetness.”
In the post’s comments section, many shoppers expressed similar excitement about the dessert’s arrival. One particular fan summed up the excitement perfectly: “Oh, that’s not fair. They’re just TRYING to keep us chunky now.”
Bottom line
With its combination of creamy cheesecake, sweet strawberry topping, and buttery streusel, the Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake is a fitting addition to Costco’s growing lineup of cheesecakes. The seasonal dessert is likely to appeal to anyone with a sweet tooth, especially shoppers who look forward to strawberry season every summer.
Sadly, as is so often the case with Costco’s bakery items, there’s no telling how long the cheesecake will remain in stock at your local warehouse. If it’s on your must-try list, you’ll probably want to grab one while it’s still available.
