Costco's ridiculously popular strawberry streusel cheesecake is a spring sensation!
I Finally Bought Costco’s Strawberry Streusel Cheesecake and It Tastes Like Spring
Updated on Apr. 25, 2025
Cheesecake seems to make its way onto every dessert menu, which I’m not mad about—because it’s something I don’t often make from scratch. It can be time-consuming to bake, and more expensive because of the cost of eggs.
Luckily, Costco is well known for its giant cheesecakes. The flavors come and go, so you never know what you’ll find in the bakery section! The latest springy iteration is a strawberry streusel cheesecake, and customers can’t get enough of it.
Why are people talking about the Costco cheesecake?
Costco fans on TikTok, Instagram and Reddit are all abuzz about this seasonal cheesecake at Costco. The strawberry streusel is the latest in the warehouse’s series of cheesecakes that all seem to go viral soon after they hit the refrigerator case. The cheesecakes frequently correspond with seasonal flavors or holidays. Everyone loves the pumpkin cheesecake in the fall, and the recent tiramisu cheesecake was a dessert mashup that I was too happy to pick up!
The cheesecakes often get people talking because of their impressive size. Costco’s strawberry streusel option weighs in at nearly 5 pounds! The streusel topping is what has everyone chatting this season, though. It makes the cheesecake feel like a coffee cake, and, hey, we’ll take any excuse to eat dessert for breakfast!
Is the strawberry streusel cheesecake good?
The strawberry streusel cheesecake isn’t just good, it’s incredible. Or, too good, as one Reddit commenter said. It starts with a classic graham cracker crust, followed by a traditional vanilla cheesecake filling. A fresh strawberry layer completely covers the top, bringing in one of our favorite flavors of the season. Finally, there’s a thick layer of sweet and buttery crumble streusel topping.
From the first bite, it tastes like everything we love about cheesecake and a breakfast pastry. It’s an impressive 4-1/2 pounds of dessert magic selling for $22.99. Figuring this will serve upward of 16 people, the cost per slice is a deal.
Plenty of Costco shoppers have commented on Reddit about how irresistible this cheesecake is! Many folks said, “There goes my diet,” with a wink and not much regret. However, several posts raved about the fact that this dessert wasn’t overly sweet. In my opinion, a dessert that doesn’t make you feel like you’re getting a cavity is always a win.
Costco is notoriously secretive about how long products like this will stay on store shelves, so it’s hard to say when this cheesecake will be replaced. I recommend making a Costco trip before time runs out!
