Costco’s Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf Returns, and Fans Can’t Get Enough
The beloved Kirkland Signature Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf is making a comeback at Costco, and fans are eager to grab it before it vanishes again. This treat, first introduced in 2017, has become infamous for its sporadic availability, leading many to wonder if it would be discontinued or just a seasonal offering.
Reports from 2023 indicated that shoppers spotted the loaf once more before it disappeared again. After the bakery declared it unavailable for good, one disappointed fan even sought out a copycat recipe on Reddit.
Since June, however, this sweet delight has returned to both warehouse locations and online. Although Costco staff mentioned it is seasonal, availability can differ from one store to another.
The Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf is essentially an all-butter pound cake, featuring a rich cinnamon swirl and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon sugar. For just $9.99 for a hefty 38-ounce loaf, many customers feel it’s an incredible deal—especially with the amount of butter that goes into it. One Reddit user, claiming to work at Costco, mentioned that nearly a stick of butter is used per loaf. Another woman, sharing her experience on Instagram, humorously noted that the loaf is practically swimming in melted butter to help attach the sugar coating.
“That butter cinnamon sugar loaf is drooling me!”
According to Costco’s nutritional information, a single pack has about 410 calories and contains 33 grams of sugar. Nevertheless, this hasn’t deterred fans from showering it with praise. On Reddit, one shopper described it as “the best loafcake ever to decorate my taste buds,” and others likened it to “pound cake sprinkled with churro dust.” Some users reported that as soon as they saw it in-store, they quickly turned away to resist the temptation.
Comments on Instagram and TikTok echoed this enthusiasm. “That butter cinnamon sugar loaf is drooling me!” said one enthusiastic woman. Many are noting how easily the loaf becomes a family favorite.
There are more creative ways to enjoy the loaf, too. Some users suggested making French toast with it, and Laura Lamb, a creator on social media, shared that it turned out fantastic. “I’ve done this a few times, and it’s always a huge win,” she exclaimed.
As the buzz continues, one user advised others to “Make it last!” Given that these loaves can easily disappear from shelves, stocking up might be a wise choice. Loyal patrons of Costco often compare the Butter Cinnamon Sugar Loaf to other seasonal hits, like those giant pumpkin cheesecakes and summer peach desserts.
While the price has shifted in the past, it’s currently steady at $9.99. If history is any indication, fans should act quickly before their favorite loaf disappears once more.
