The latest buzz in Costco Canada’s food courts is the exciting addition of the Caramel Brownie Sundae — a rich, indulgent dessert that’s rolling out soon across locations nationwide. Announced recently via Costco Canada’s social media (with the big reveal around March 7-8, 2026), this treat has shoppers talking, though some were hoping for something savory like the fan-favorite U.S. chicken bake.
If you’re a sweet-tooth member always grabbing a $1.50 hot dog combo or a classic berry sundae after shopping, this new item fits right in as a tempting upgrade.

What Is the Caramel Brownie Sundae?
Picture this: creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream layered with gooey salted caramel sauce and chunks of fudgy brownie pieces, all served in a clear cup for that perfect Instagram-worthy look. It’s decadent without being over-the-top — think of it as the love child of a classic caramel sundae and a fresh-baked brownie.
Costco teased it with a pixelated photo on March 5, 2026, sparking wild guesses in the comments (chicken bake dreams were strong!). The unblurred reveal the next day confirmed the dessert, with the caption hinting it’s “the reveal you’ve actually been waiting for.” While an exact nationwide rollout date isn’t set yet, it’s described as “coming soon,” with some reports pointing to initial availability in places like Ontario.
Priced similarly to other sundaes (expect around $3.49 before tax, based on current menu items like fudge or berry sundaes), it joins the dessert lineup without shaking up the budget-friendly vibe Costco is known for.
Why Shoppers Are Excited (and a Bit Divided)
- The Sweet Appeal: If you love Costco’s existing desserts — vanilla/chocolate cones, fudge sundaes, or berry options — this adds variety with brownie texture and salted caramel notes. It’s indulgent yet still a steal compared to similar treats at other spots.
- The Disappointment Factor: Many fans were vocal about wanting savory returns like the chicken bake, chicken wings, or even iced coffee. Social media comments exploded with “Bring back the chicken bake!” vibes, showing how loyal Costco foodies are to certain classics.
- Timing Feels Right: After recent limited-time items like the Double Chocolate Mint Sundae (which popped up around February 2026 to rival seasonal shakes), this keeps the menu fresh and exciting.
It’s a reminder that Costco Canada keeps evolving its food court — think Montreal smoked meat sandwich comebacks or other tweaks — while sticking to value.
