Costco’s bakery is known for cult favorites, and the Tuxedo Cake usually takes the crown. But now, there’s a new contender on the shelves that has shoppers buzzing: the Mocha Crunch Bar Cake. This layered dessert is rich, chocolatey, and filled with coffee-inspired flavors that rival the warehouse’s most popular treat.
The Mocha Crunch Bar Cake is built with multiple layers of chocolate cake, cappuccino mousse, mocha espresso mousse, and a signature crunchy mocha layer. To finish it off, the cake is decorated with chocolate fudge roses and white chocolate shavings. It’s essentially a mashup of tiramisu and chocolate cake, designed to please coffee lovers and chocolate fans alike.
Early reviews suggest Costco has another hit on its hands. Daily Meal writer Monika Sudakov declared it “the best dessert I have sampled from Costco, hands down.” On Reddit, one shopper compared the crunch layer to the texture of a Twix bar, praising the balance of cream and cake as “very very creamy” with just the right amount of sweetness.
Food influencer Morgan Chomps also raved about the mix of textures. She described the mocha crunch layer as “very similar to the wafers of a Kit Kat,” and highlighted how well it paired with the light cappuccino and mocha mousses. Her verdict? A solid 8 out of 10, with extra points for its coffee-forward flavor profile.
At $18.99, the Mocha Crunch Bar Cake is slightly cheaper than the Tuxedo Cake, making it a tempting option for anyone looking to try something new without breaking the bank. For those who like to savor their desserts slowly, it also freezes well when sliced into individual portions.
While the Tuxedo Cake may still hold the top spot for many fans, the Mocha Crunch Bar Cake is shaping up to be a close second. With its unique textures and bold mocha flavors, it’s a standout among Costco’s rotating bakery lineup.
If you’re a coffee dessert fan or just curious about Costco’s latest bakery creation, this cake is definitely worth a spot in your cart.
