Can I ask what you tend to pre-order? We used to do this but they upped their minimum order for potato balls and cheese pastries to something insane like three dozen. If thereās something else we can do to jump the line weād be all over that.
(And to forestall jokes, Yes, yes, who canāt take down 36 potato balls, har har.)
Usually, I order a cake with potato balls and cheese rolls. I tend to like the party-sized ones because theyāre smaller and easier for people to eat.

My Hakushu, Yamazaki, Nikka & Hibiki age statement hoarding was courtesy of Costco!!! 
& Diaego annual special releases on fire sale 
Iād say thatās a fair assessment. I think folks (including me) get more excited by the idea of Portoās than the actual offerings. I like the Guava & the Cheese Strudel, but not sure Iād drive across town for them. BUT! I had the Milk & Berry Cake last weekend and it was so good. 
The strawberries were fine but the cake, custard & cream were lite, moist, creamy & delicious (not too sweet at all).
Hi @Gr8pimpin - I scored this from a birthday party recently. Everyone went for the frouffy, fancy cake and this was left standing, so. 
Chocolatey, moist, fudgey ganache and, yes, gritty smooth sugar frosting. This is one of my favorite chocolate cakes. Tastes like grandma madeā¦ just not my grandma. 
Instacart delivers Costcoā¦ and you donāt have to be a member.
Now THATāS EXACTLY what I talking about!!! YUM!!!
Lol @Gr8pimpin. Itās sooo good. I donāt like the old-school crisco thing which is why I donāt like Hansenās anymore - they started taking it to a new level where thatās all you taste. Iām sure Beaās probably uses it but itās barely detectable, especially in the chocolate.
Yeah, I stop people who start singing the praises of Costco to me. Itās not that I donāt like them, but we donāt have one close enough to be worth it. We settle for Smart & Final over here - a pale comparison.
Someone up above said the shipping mark-ups make the costco savings not worth it?
Instacart and Costco delivery are 2 separate things
Iāve only used it once, and I donāt remember it being that bad. I thought the post above was referring to Costco doing the delivery as opposed to Instacart, but I could be wrong.
I actually donāt either. I do like buttercream. Beaās says theirs is buttercream, is it common to add shortening to a ābuttercreamā frosting or is it just butter?
Iām not sure itās common at every bakery, but last time I had Hansenās cake with buttercream frosting it tasted like crisco and sugar. This was years ago, though.
Costco delivery is free for orders of $250 or more. Thereās a $25 surcharge for orders under $250 and a $10 delivery charge for orders under $100. Online prices are sometimes higher than in the store.
That B true. Also, I dont even really eat turkey, but their roast turkey (same place as the cooked chicken is incredible). I bought it to mix in my dogās kibble and now make him share.
Sugarfish is the highest QPR sushi you can get under $50, excluding Kazu Nori.
Yep. The Nozawa consortium have the most buying power at the wholesale fish market level. And luckily, they do care about preserving consistency within their brand, so theyāre not afraid to use it.
Naaa. Noshi
