A recent Reddit post has sparked discussion among Costco fans after one shopper shared a negative review of a new bakery item.
The shopper criticized Costco’s new single-slice pound cake, calling it “tough, dense, and not good.” They compared it unfavorably to a previous three-pack version, which they described as “fluffy, tender, and defrosted well.” In their post, they questioned whether they had just received a bad batch or if others shared their disappointment.
“I had high hopes because the Blueberry one is so tasty,” the Redditor wrote.
The post quickly attracted comments from other users who defended the pound cake, pointing out that dense texture is typical of the dessert.
“You just described what pound cake is supposed to taste like,” one person replied. Another added, “Pound cake is supposed to be very dense and rich.”
Others offered tips on how to enhance the experience. One suggestion was to toast the slice in a skillet with butter until the sugar caramelizes, then top it with berries, whipped cream, or ice cream. Another user recommended microwaving the cake for 15–20 seconds to soften it quickly.
While opinions on the new pound cake slice vary, it’s clear that Costco’s bakery continues to generate strong reactions—both positive and critical—from its loyal fan base.
