Costco Canada’s New Menu Item Sparks a Food Court Divide (Where is the Chicken Bake?)

If you were crossing your fingers for the legendary American Chicken Bake to finally make its way north of the border, you might need to grab a tissue. Last week, the Costco Canada food court sent shoppers into a frenzy by posting a pixelated teaser on social media, hinting at a highly anticipated drop.

Guesses immediately flooded in. Shoppers from the Toronto Costco food court to locations in Vancouver were begging for savory staples like the iconic turkey provolone sandwich, iced coffee, or the holy grail of warehouse dining: the Costco Chicken Bake Canada has been waiting for.

The Reveal: Say Hello to the Caramel Brownie Sundae

On Friday, the wholesale giant cleared the blur on their official Instagram page. This revealed the highly anticipated Costco Canada new menu item. Fans will see the Caramel Brownie Sundae Costco rolling out soon.

An exact price hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. However, it will hit locations very shortly. This addition rounds out the latest Costco Ontario updates and nationwide food court changes. Costco’s current sundaes sit at a budget-friendly $3.49. You can expect this new decadent brownie option to be a similarly incredible deal.

The Internet Reacts: Sweet Treats vs. Savory Dreams

The reaction? Let’s just say Canadians are deeply divided.

On one hand, the savory crowd is feeling left out in the cold. Comment sections across social media have been heavily populated by shoppers asking for salads, more substantial winter-friendly meals, and, of course, the elusive Chicken Bake. “The weirdest looking chicken bake I’ve ever seen,” joked one user, while others questioned the timing of releasing a new ice cream dish before the weather actually warms up.

However, dessert lovers are already starting their car engines. Many users were thrilled about the drop, pointing out that Costco’s premium soft serve easily rivals fast-food competitors—and for a fraction of the cost.

More Than Just Ice Cream: Coupons Are Coming Back

Even if the new sundae isn’t exactly what you hoped for, Costco Canada is softening the blow. Alongside the dessert drop, the retailer teased the highly anticipated return of their Costco Canada Instagram coupons, telling members to “stay tuned for the drop.” You can check out their membership benefits page to ensure you’re ready to take advantage of the savings.

Between the introduction of the Montreal smoked meat sandwich last year, the switch to Coca-Cola products, and our beloved $1.50 hot-dog-and-pop combo, the warehouse giant continues to serve up some of the best Costco food court items for budget-conscious shoppers.
