2. Costco Sells 2 Flavors Of Egg Bites

4. These Egg Bites Are A starbucks Copycat
Starbucks has a very similiar breakfast item in their stores. They sell Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper Egg Bites as well as Bacon & Gruyere Egg Bites. These are nearly identical in name and ingredients to the Three Bridges Egg Bites from Costco.
This is not suprising as Costco also sells a bacon gouda egg breakfast sandwich which is also a direct clone of the popular Starbucks’ version
5. Costco Now Sells Starbucks Branded Egg Bites
In the summer of 2023, Costco added the official Starbucks-branded egg bites to their stores. The 10-pack of egg bites sells for $14.79 or $2.95 per twin pack. Costco only carries the bacon and gruyere flavored Starbucks egg bites.
The Starbucks egg bites sold at Costco are nearly identical in ingredients and nutrition to the ones sold in Starbucks stores. However, they are manufactured by a third-party company called Cuisine Solutions rather than Starbucks.
6. Costco Sells The Three Bridges Egg Bites For $10.99
Costco sells Three Bridges Egg Bites in eight-count packs for $10.99 each. Each twin pack breaks down to $2.75 or $1.37 per individual egg bite.
Costco has also discounted the egg bites in the past, bringing the price down to $7.69. This is a 30% discount and drops the price of each egg bite down to $0.96. An amazing deal!
7. Costco's Three Bridges Egg Bites Are 40% less Than The Price At other Retailers
Target sells a two pack of Three Bridges Cheese & Bacon Egg Bites for $4.49. The per egg bite price is $2.25, which is 63% more expensive than Costco’s price. Safeway sells the same pack of Egg Bites for $4.49 as well.
As expected, Costco’s egg bites come out way ahead in price. If you like these Egg Bites, it will be hard to beat Costco’s price, which is nearly 40% less than retail stores.
8. The Egg Bites Are Creamy and Delicious
Wonderful Flavor
I had the pleasure of trying both flavors of egg bites, and I couldn’t help but fall in love. The egg bites were wonderfully creamy and had a fluffy texture thanks to the sous vide cooking method. Eggs are hard to get right, but Three Bridge’s eggs tasted moist and delicious. Kudos to them!
Maybe A Little Too Creamy
If I had one complaint, it’s that the egg bites were slightly too creamy. The creaminess tasted great but was almost overpowering, making the egg white bites and the bacon bites taste nearly identical to me.
9. Don't Be Fooled By The Toppings
The additional ingredients used to flavor the Costco egg bites aren’t mixed into the egg itself but mostly reside on top.
Visually, this is impressive as the egg bite looks full of ingredients and flavor, but once you take a bite, you can see that they are just toppings for the egg bites.
