Costco’s Beloved Mini Beignets Are Back — and Local Shoppers Are Buzzing

ALEXANDRIA, VA — That sweet moment in the Costco bakery aisle is back: mini beignets have returned to shelves, and fans on both sides of the Potomac are excited. According to Allrecipes, shoppers nationwide are snapping up the bite-size, powdered sugar–coated treats — and now folks in Alexandria and Arlington don’t have to travel far to try them for themselves.

The mini beignets — a Costco favorite inspired by New Orleans’ classic dessert — were quietly reintroduced after a brief absence, and the response has been enthusiastic. Allrecipes reports that members love how easy they are to enjoy straight out of the package or warmed up for brunch, dessert, or a quick pick-me-up. The general consensus? They’re dangerously delicious.

Where to Find Them

📍 Costco Wholesale — Alexandria
7940 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22306

📍 Costco Wholesale — Arlington
2100 S. Eads St., Arlington, VA 22202

Whether you’re stocking up on paper goods or grabbing a rotisserie chicken, it’s worth swinging by the bakery section to see if the mini beignets are in stock.

Why Everyone’s Talking

Unlike traditional beignets that require deep frying, Costco’s version comes fully cooked, which means:

• Instant sugar-dusty goodness right out of the bag

• Perfect for reheating on a whim

• Crowd-pleasing dessert for gatherings

• Easy Mardi Gras-inspired treat without the fuss

Allrecipes notes that members enjoy them as a brunch upgrade, a snack, or a sweet finish to any meal—especially when warmed slightly.

Zebra Tip 🦓

These tend to sell out quickly once word spreads. If you’re planning a weekend run to Costco, check the bakery case early before they vanish again.
