Costco's new bakery items are the delicious cherry and cheese-filled pastries. The cherry and cheese pastries, which retail for $9.99 for a pack of six, are said to have the ideal amount of filling paired with a soft, flaky pastry exterior. Six pastries total are included in the goodies, which are offered in a plastic container with a snap-lock closure.
The new pastries were discovered in-store by the Costco Sisters, who run a themed Instagram account covering Costco's newest and most sought-after products. The pair recommends warming up the pastries in the oven or the air fryer to elevate their decadent flavoring.
