Costco Shoppers Aren't Sweet On This Frozen Dessert 'I Was Sadly Disappointed'

"Typically, Junior's New York cheesecake features a unique crust that may puzzle fans of a traditional graham cracker layer. In its place on the bottom is a thin sponge cake for which Junior's cheesecakes are best known. The absence of a crust on the mini frozen version from Costco has confounded some shoppers. Redditors claim the cakes "feel incomplete without having a graham cracker crust." Others note an unpleasant consistency, stating "the top parts of them all had a rubbery/chewy texture.""

"The overall assessment of these miniature frozen cheesecakes is that they just don't measure up to their full-sized New York counterparts. Reddit comments confirming this include, "the cheesecakes at their restaurants are much better than these bites from Costco," and, "It's a bummer because the cheesecake from the actual restaurant is delicious." While this is one of the Costco desserts to avoid, it's still worth a trip to your local warehouse to discover plenty of other craveable desserts."

Costco sells frozen Junior's Mini Cheesecakes that are conveniently priced and portioned but receive negative feedback for taste and texture. The mini version lacks the traditional graham cracker crust and instead has a thin sponge cake base, which confuses fans expecting a classic crust. Shoppers report a rubbery or chewy top texture and describe the mini cheesecakes as incomplete or tasting nothing like Junior's restaurant cheesecakes. Many state the restaurant's full-sized cheesecakes are much better than the frozen minis. The mini variety is considered a disappointing choice, though Costco still offers many other desirable desserts.
