Let’s be honest mornings can feel chaotic. You’re jolted awake by your alarm, fumbling for coffee, and somehow trying to get yourself (and maybe your household) out the door on time. Amid the scramble, breakfast often becomes an afterthought. Many of us either skip it entirely or settle for something far from satisfying.
But here’s a little secret I wish I’d discovered sooner: Costco carries an amazingly wonderful selection of breakfast foods. It’s not so much about purchasing in bulk it’s about discovering convenience, quality, and value all under one roof. After years of scanning the shelves, I’ve discovered a few items I depend upon every single week. They’re not just “good in theory” they’re the staples of my actual, busy life.
Following are 13 Costco breakfast foods that have streamlined my mornings, made them more satisfying, and dare I say it, enjoyable.
1. Three Bridges Egg Bites
I was a Starbucks egg bites lover until I discovered this copycat that tastes even better and for significantly less money. Three Bridges Egg Bites are available in varieties such as Spinach & Bell Pepper or Cheese & Uncured Bacon, and they have totally revolutionized breakfast for me.
Each package holds eight bites for about $10.99, a good value if you are having them for breakfast every day. They reheat in 90 seconds and really get me through to lunchtime something I cannot say about most grab-and-go foods. For anyone who needs a protein-rich, low-fuss breakfast with actual ingredients and actual taste, these are worth having in your fridge.
2. Red’s Egg’Wich Turkey Sausage
If you’re counting carbs or just in the mood for something a bit different, Red’s Egg’Wich is a brilliant spin on the breakfast sandwich. Rather than using bread, they employ two of the fluffiest egg patties to hold together turkey sausage and cheese. Pure genius, isn’t it?
They’re keto-approved with only 3g of carbs, but even if you aren’t on a special diet, the convenience and taste are worth trying them. One and a half minutes in the microwave and you have a satisfying, high-protein breakfast just what you need on those mornings when you can barely get your hair brushed. You can find an 8-pack at Costco for $13.99, and they reheat and freeze like a dream.
3. Spinach Egg White Frittatas
These small frittatas became one of my “faves” in the freezer. Each one is filled with spinach, egg whites, mozzarella, and tomatoes. They’re healthy, filling, and ideal when you crave something warm and filling in less than two minutes.
A 20-pack is around $13.99, making it a budget-friendly meal prep option. They are particularly delicious with a dash of hot sauce or with toast or avocado. Not bad for something that’s ready in 60 seconds.
4. Kirkland Signature Butter Croissants
You can’t go wrong with a classic, and these croissants from Costco’s bakery are buttery, flaky, and actually taste like something you’d get in a European café.
They’re also handy to prepare toast them with jam, slice and fill with eggs and bacon, or just eat one plain with a cup of coffee. A dozen is $5.99, and they are freezable if you don’t use them quickly enough (although in my household, they’re not around long enough.).
5. Don Miguel Breakfast Burritos
These chilled-out burritos were a pleasant surprise. They’re not in the freezer case, so they warm up faster and taste miraculously fresher. Inside each burrito is cage-free eggs, sausage, cheese, potatoes, and green chiles everything you’d want in a fill-you-up breakfast burrito.
They crunch up very well in the air fryer or oven and provide a good breakfast to go. There are six in a pack for $11.99, and they’re substantial enough to keep you going well into the afternoon.
6. Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix
If you enjoy cooking pancakes or waffles but wish it had a nutritional kick, this mix is your new best friend. Kodiak Cakes are full of protein and whole grain made but still light, fluffy, and delicious.
Just add water, stir, and heat it’s so simple. I make a batch on Sunday and freeze the leftovers, reheating later in the week. You can also fold the mix into muffins or banana bread for an extra protein boost. It’s really versatile and clean-label with no strange additives.
7. Kirkland Signature Protein Bars
Some mornings just… are chaos. For those mornings, these bars are a godsend. They each contain more than 20g of protein, have dessert-like flavors such as cookie dough or peanut butter, and they keep you full for hours.
Unlike many protein bars, these aren’t cloyingly sweet or laden with artificial ingredients. They’re perfect to toss into your work bag or to leave in the car for emergency breakfast needs.
8. La Boulangere Chocolate Croissants
If you’ve got a sweet tooth in the morning or just love a little indulgence with your coffee these individually wrapped chocolate croissants hit the spot.
They’re buttery, soft, and filled with just the right amount of chocolate. Heat one up for a few seconds and you’ve basically recreated a Parisian bakery moment in your kitchen. The 16-pack is great for families or for stocking up your breakfast drawer at work.
9. Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix
For a good old-fashioned pancake breakfast without the hassle, Krusteaz is my go-to. It’s foolproof, delicious, and consistent. I’ve used it for years and it always delivers.
The 10-pound box might seem like overkill, but it lasts forever and stores well in airtight containers. If you’re feeding a family or just love weekend breakfasts, it’s a smart buy that’s super affordable per serving.
10. Quaker Oats Rolled Oats
You can’t get simpler than rolled oats. I use them for everything: hot oatmeal, smoothies, overnight oats, even baking. Costco’s 10-pound box is a wonderful deal and ensures I never get caught short.
If you’re looking to increase the fiber or lower the processed sugars in your diet, oats are an amazing foundation. Throw some fruit, cinnamon, nut butter whatever your morning mood dictates in. It’s filling, adaptable, and infinitely variable.
11. Jones Farm’s Frozen Chicken Breakfast Sausages
If you’re in the mood for a breakfast meat that’s flavorful but lower than regular pork sausage, these chicken sausages are a good choice. They heat up quickly, don’t come greasy, and complement eggs or pancakes great.
And with the 3-pound package for $14.99, it goes pretty far. I’ve even added them to wraps and rice bowls for lunch. A nice protein kick that’s unexpectedly delicious.
12. Kirkland Signature Ham and Cheese Pastry
Returning by popular demand, these ham and cheese pastries are the ultimate comfort food. The flaky pastry encloses melty cheese, salty ham, and creamy béchamel sauce it’s basically a breakfast croissant elevated.
They reheat well in the oven or air fryer and are a great brunch option as well. For less than $9 for four, they’re luxuriant but not a budget killer.
13. Universal Bakery Belgian Style Waffles
Imagine Sunday brunch atmosphere but in grab-and-go form. These Belgian-style waffles are wrapped up separately, pre-baked with pearl sugar and butter, so you can chomp them straight from the package. They are sweet enough to be eaten plain and ideal for throwing into your bag while you’re running out the door in the morning. I prefer to heat them up and top with berries or a dollop of nut butter if I’ve got a spare minute.
