Blueberry muffins to die for...NO MORE! The current recipe reduced the amount of blueberries by 50% or more. (See pics below). Take note that the bakery is making sure that each muffin top shows 3 to 4 berries but the inside is almost all cake. Thep difference in both visual and taste is very obvious. In spite of Costco drastically reducing the quality of their muffins, they also raised pricing from $7.99 to $9.99. That's a 25% increase. read more

I went into the store on Monday afternoon and filled out an order form for an Easter cake. When I arrived on Friday at 2:00pm, the date/time I listed on the form, my cake was nowhere to be found! A woman in the bakery offered to make me one, but I didn't have the time to wait, as I had to be somewhere in an hour. Realllllly aggravated that the ONE time I place a special order, it goes MIA. Then what's the point of ordering? Word to the wise: Call them beforehand to CONFIRM they've got your order; don't be SOL like I was. read more

Be sure to check out these items next time you stop by... Costco gas is very high quality but very low in price. They have a house brand called Kirkland. Try Costco's version of a product. You never have a problem getting a full refund if it doesn't please you. read more

I an not a big Costco fan. I have some friends that are fanatical about this place but I'm not one as you can see by my rating. Only OK with me but I try to avoid going there because it is a madhouse every time I've gone. Some people attack the free sample locations as if they are giving away $100 bills, jostling you out of the area. I avoid the free sample spots and try to get in and out if I'm forced to go there. The cashier lines kind of suck too. You would think I do not like this place while reading my review and you're somewhat correct. However, they do have some very good seafood selections during holiday periods. Large King crab legs, Lobster tails, shrimp, etc. So that bumps up their rating in my book. You may think differently about Costco than I do but to each, their own. Cheers to All read more

I love coming here to Costco in Bloomingdales the tax is less and everyone is nicer. If I need gas I put it here. When I am hungry I stop and have my $1.50 huge hot dog with a drink. Can't beat that bargain. I usually get my olive oil and my organic pasta but lately I was having a hard time finding that olive oil so I went to the front and ask if they had any nope they are going to stop caring it because they are trying to push the avocado oil wow really who cooks with avocado oil not an Italian person and of course am. It but my husband is and he is very very picky with his pasta and oil and to top it off they do not carry only penne organic pasta but all mix brand and my husband only eat penne so am having to go buy my oils at Caputo's my salsa and my olive oil so much for paying this card read more

I was just in there at self checkout and the short african american male working in that section is extremely rude and unprofessional! He had on a black polo collared shirt with some yezzy tennis shoes on. Bald head as well. I asked him to help me scan my two idem's and he act like he didnt hear me then when he did respond he said "what" with a nasty attitude. My registered didn't work for some reason so i asked him to help me out again and he was pretty irritated and said "what" with a worse attitude than before! Completely uncalled for. I wish I had his name but he didnt have his name tag on either. read more

Beware... Don't buy Christmas gifts at this place. I went to return a pair of pajamas that I had bought with my husband the day before. I had my receipt, I had my ID, I had the card that the item was bought with. And I was told in no uncertain terms that my husband needed to be the one to bring it back with his membership card. When I asked about someone returning a Christmas gift who wasn't a member... The girl looked very perplexed & then said it was fine as long as they had the receipt. So, naturally, I said "How is that any different than what I did today??? You guys need to be consistent." And so she yells out at me as I'm walking away "You're not a member.... your husband is!' Lol... Yeah, that's what she said. I would get a very definitive answer about being able to return a Christmas gift if you're not a member before you buy a single gift at this place. read more

I love Costco, everyone is so friendly! prices are amazing, have been coming to this location for YEARS! Never have I felt more loved than last Saturday! No one has ever offered to help me the way Matthew did. I attended on a busy Saturday and I was struggling to pick up some water into my car. This young man saw my embarrassing struggles and instantly stopped what he was doing to assist me. THEN he took my cart and said have a lovely day. He was amazing and deserves a raise! I could tell he enjoys his job and cares about the shoppers of Costco! read more

This is a particularly good Costco, which is saying a lot because all of the ones that I've been before have also been good (really, really hate the Oakbrook parking lot, won't ever go there again) Easy to miss the entrance when you're coming from the west.. turn north on Madsen.. it's behind the Staples. From the east turn right at the first entrance west of Merbach Road. I don't know what it is about this parking lot, but it is designed such that there are a lot of parking spaces that are close to the door. I'm mostly used to the Naperville store (still love it) but I go here when I go from home. (I'm in between them) Being used to another store, the layout still feels weird to me (I must wander around too much.. I keep buying new Dyson products here that I don't really need!) It's a super clean store, there are generally a lot of samples (Today was an awesome sample day!... or maybe I was hungrier than normal..) and they seem to handle the check out lines well. Like all of their stores, I'm a fan of the Kirkland brand... The Kirkland brand: booze, people food, pet food, pharmacy stuff, dry goods and supplies are generally excellent, top shelf stuff. I draw the line at Kirkland jeans, it's just not happening.... this is probably a character defect on my part... I can live with that.. read more

Costco - Ticks on my Christmas tree with 8 days left before Christmas! - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

I'm done with Costco. Today was the final nail In the coffin. I didn't see any signs by the toilet paper and paper towels limiting quantities so I put 2 packages of paper towels in my cart. When I went up to cashier, the red headed check out boy admonished me about trying to purchase 2. I told him that I did not see a sign. He then scolded me that it was small. I then pointed out that that was ridiculous and said some things I shouldn't have but I was really annoyed by his attitude. Everyone is on edge and he is poorly trained to deal with customers. The social distancing is haphazard. The cart boy and gas fellow both came up to me talk without masks. What are the rules at Costco? I thought this was the place that made people wait outside at the beginning of the pandemic? I've noticed the selection has really gone downhill over the last year. They don't carry Nestles chocolate chips anymore. They have the Kirkland ones. No thank you. Sams club is much better these days. Better overall selections and an absolutely brilliant app. You can scan as you are shopping and completely bypass the check out. Plus they have early hours for business members. Even better your card is on your phone instead of dragging out your card. I have 8 people on my card that I pay their memberships. I am cancelling my membership and my Costco visa. They will be losing 8 customers. read more

I love going to Costco. There are certain things I can't buy in bulk because they will go bad faster than I can eat them like fruits or veggies. (Although there is an Apple cider fruit rinse you can Google that claims to give fruits longer shelf life.) Love that it can easily be a one stop shop and that everyone is very friendly. It's better to go on a weekday during the daytime if you can. It gets busy nights and weekends. I recently catered two pizzas and a cake for my two year old's birthday. There was more than enough to go around and feed thirty something adults and about ten kids. My hubby picked up the pre ordered cake. He said it was just waiting in the bin with the rest. Although my order sheet was taped to the side I feel like anyone who liked the way it looked could have just picked it up and bought it. Perhaps they would have noticed at the register? Anyway, no need to penalize stars for a 'what if' scenario. 5 stars! Oh yeah! read more

This is a great Costco. Like every Costco always crowded but the staff are always helpful and polite. We just bought a beautiful 8 chair dining set for an unbeatable price yesterday. I was surprised to see so much furniture being carried in store. I've debated several furniture purchases online but it's always nice to be able to put your eyes on something. Love that they are carrying quality furniture in store now! read more

This is a great Costco, though I admit the only other Costco that I've been to is the Schaumburg location. It is always well-stocked and clean, despite the insane crowds that it brings in over the weekend. We've had birthday cakes from there twice, and they've been correct and yummy. I mean its Costco, you can't really lose with it.... read more

I'd like to review the food court in Costco. They serve pizza, chicken baked, hot dogs, salads, ice cream, smoothies, churro, etc. These foods are affordable; for example, hot dog with a drink for $1.50. The water cups are provided at the register for no charge. Pizza can be purchased by slice or whole pizza. It can be customized, such as 1/2 combo and 1/2 pepperoni. Waiting time may vary. It can range from 15 to 30 minutes. Ketchup, mustard, and relish are on the table with utensils and napkins . Drinks have unlimited refill. One can pay their order at the register in store or at the food court. Any Visa card is accepted. Today, I ordered a hot dog with a drink. The staff was friendly and quick. My order finished right away. It's warm and tasty. The size is just right for me. The restrooms are located at the far end of the hallway. Food court is served for everyone (membership and none membership). Someone can enter the customer service door to get to the food court. read more

Racist workers!! Beware !! I ordered food from the kiosk in the food court and got my receipt. Two other people ordered right after me. My receipt came up first at the counter I know because I watched it come out and watched the employee look at it. She then saw the two people behind me that ordered AFTER ME that were the same race as her and proceeded to serve them their food first WITHOUT ASKING THEM FOR A RECIPT! Then she finally calls my number and I come up and say that's my number and she demands to me that she needs to see my receipt or I can't get it .... 10 seconds before that she literally just served 2 people of the same race as her food without asking them for a receipt? Sad, racist, and disgusting! Never coming back here again. The woman that was behind the counter was an African American woman with half her teeth missing. I did not catch her name I was too infuriated. read more

Store Review: Is Coscto better than Sam's club? I would have to say yes and here are the reasons why: 1. Better customer service 2. Lots of free food samples on weekends and even weekdays 3. Better quality food items from the meats to packaged food 4. Lots of organic choice 5. Less hectic parking lot Overall this is the place to go to get your food sampling on and buy things in bulk. Although the savings are typically the same or a little less than using coupons at your local store you can get a lot more quantity in one trip. The membership is about 45 bucks but by my calculation you can save as much or even more just by always filling up your gas tank here as the prices are usually 10-30 cents cheaper than elsewhere. Another major plus is the cafeteria with 1.5 polish sausage and drink or 1.99 for a slice of combo pizza. You can't eat cheaper anywhere else. Choices are limited so be aware Pros- free food sampling, friendly service, bulk pricing, cheap gas Cons- membership fees, long lines for gas Hidden deals- 1. Look for national membership sign up bonus including a book of coupons for free water, batteries, etc and more savings on food. This helps offset the cost of the membership. This can be found on mypoints and AARP member benefits 2. Fill up on gas, usually cheaper 3. Free food samples during lunch time especially on weekends 4. Food court food on a budget read more

NOTE: THIS REVIEW FOR 'TIRE CENTER' ONLY: After seeing a "promotional special" for certain tires ($70 off Bridgestone, plus 1 cent installation - yes we know this is built into the price somehow), I took my car in to purchase new tires, knowing in advance I would have to make an appointment. By chance, I had taken the quote I had received a day earlier (from St. Charles Costco - I was out that direction at the time) on my tires into this Bloomingdale location, as this location is closer to home. I knew the prices would be roughly the same, give or take a few dollars due to tax differentials. The clerk at the desk was not rude per se, but he made some snarky remark of, "well why didn't you just get the tires put on in St. Charles?" I explained I had gotten the quote for my tires at the St. Charles location because I was out that way, and my plan was to shop around and get a few prices before coming HERE to Bloomingdale. Long story short, he could not take our order because "the Bridgestone tire site was down", because of the supposed influx of customers wanting to cash in on the deal. He told us that we could order the tires online from home, make sure they are shipped to the Bloomingdale store location, and then he would make me an appointment (10 days later was the earliest appointment) to then have them installed. We just said okay, and walked out. Not necessarily HIS fault, but you would think Costco would have a better solution and better preparation for this problem other than to turn customers away and tell them to go on the Bridgestone site from home later on, and order/purchase the tires from home. I mean come on...talk about turning away valuable business. BEST PART: We took our car one mile away to Discount Tire by Stratford Mall. We gave them our quote and Discount gave us the same exact tires, with the same exact perks, for the same exact price Costco quoted us. To top it off, they said they could do our car today "in under an hour". Our car was done in literally 45 minutes. Terrific customer service. Glad we went here.. Our point: Think twice about buying tires from Costco, and it is always good policy to shop around for prices anyhow. Costco DOESN'T ALWAYS have the best prices or service. read more

I have been going to this store many times but did not have any chance to write review for it. The store location is convenient for shoppers and they have huge parking lot and memberships require to shop. There are variety of stuff from kitchen supplies to household goods and pretty much everything you need for your daily life. Their prices are always lower than other grocery stores because they're whole seller. The store is well organized and there is a friendly staff. Their Gasoline is always cheaper than other gas stations by at least 20-30 cents per gallon. One thing I hate about is the group of those who have a small cooking station and they stay around every corner of frozen foods area. Their job is supposed to be advertising new promotion products, but their acting like they are blessings whoever (customers)wants to try out their new promotion products. That's really wrong of them and the result would cause people not try out their new products. I would give this store 4 stars if those people clean up their act and be nice with the customers. read more

Costco is my ride or die. I love this store so much and the product selection & even better prices. Always a changing selection which keeps it exciting and new. read more

I really like Costco. I spend a lot of money there. However, I am fed up with the meat department. It started happening a while back when once in a while, there would be a badly sliced pork chop in the pack. Then it would be a couple......then more than a couple. What do I do with pork chops that are 2.5 inches thick on the bone and a sliced down to a quarter inch on the meat? It's a waste. I get that mistakes are made but I don't like the sneaky way they are hidden under the other chops. I expect that from Jewel, which is why I buy very little there. Why not put all the wacky ones in one package and sell them for a bit less? read more

After shopping for an hour and filling my cart with $400 of merchandise I found out at checkout that I couldn't use my MasterCard.

This is a review about the Army Trail returns counter staff. I went in this am about 10:30 to return a Kirkland item. Returns counter was very busy. The Costco staffer I initially connected with was not able to assist with my somewhat unusual return. I asked for a manager and she arrived in less than 5 minutes. I made my pitch to the manager and she agreed with my request. I was returned to the original staffer and was out the door with my refund about 5 minutes later. Great service, great experience. Thank you. read more

I love bumming off my friends and using their Costco membership! I am a kid in a candy store when I'm here. There's so much to buy! Costco is truly amazing. I really need to invest in a membership, but I'm afraid I'll come here everyday! This place offers so many things and is great when it comes to buying items in bulk. There is a large selection of produce, meats, seafood, snacks, non-food items...they seriously have everything! Too many great things to name! I love the samples too! My friends and I came here to buy groceries and buy the time we were finished going through the store and trying the samples, we were too full to go out to lunch! And...if the samples don't fill you up, Costco also has a station at the front of the store that sells hotdogs, pizza, ice cream, etc for dirt cheap prices! There's a huge parking lot outside, which is great, but can get super crowded on the weekends so get here early! read more

We are approaching the one year anniversary of our Costco membership. We received a check in the mail for a percentage of our annual purchases and I am happily going to renew. I had been a visitor for years with my sister and friends, but one Saturday morning we decided that enough was enough and we needed the option of buying our toilet paper in bulk like the rest of America - the rest is history. Saturday mornings seem to be the worst time to visit. Every aisle is jammed packed with people, carts, little kids running around and even those flatbed carts (I used one this weekend). The sample folks are out in full force to sell their wares; not just give you free food. It's insanity. I prefer a mid-week visit, but I still usually end up here on the weekends. Our furkids eat a grain free diet and we have found the right match for them at Costco. So whether or not we need anything else, we are here every other week. Some other favorites include dog beds (we've bought more than one), rotisserie chickens, their refrigerated dips and mango salsa, giant Rubbermaid containers, jumbo boxes of cereal, the massive amounts of toilet paper that I mentioned, Ziplock baggies, laundry detergent...basically we get a lot of stuff at Costco. And they've even proven to be a good spot for gifts and photo projects. Costco, you've got what we need. read more

I heart Costco. For what it offers, the combination of convenience and price can't be beat (on price alone, sometimes other stores will have some things slightly cheaper on sale, but it's not really worth the effort to wait or make another stop). I split my time between this location and the Oak Brook one depending on where I have to run my errands, and this is much less crowded even on a busy Saturday. It's better laid out, bright, clean, and doesn't feel as cluttered. The parking lot is not as idiotically designed as Oak Brook (yeah, that's a STOP sign you're ignoring as you plow into the rest of us!) I rely on this place for most of my staples - TP, soap, light bulbs, laundry and dish detergent, wine (yes, I've decreed wine is a staple). I usually split produce, cheese and other perishable foods with our friends once we all agree on what we want for that week, otherwise pass on that if you're only a party of two, since we've wasted a lot of food even when I incorporate the ingredients in every single meal, and there's a point where we just don't want to eat anymore cheese, romaine, peppers, fill-in-the-blank, especially for breakfast. The monster sizes do come in handy when we throw parties, though. Except that box of 3000 straws I bought. I think it's a lifetime supply, we will never be able to use that up or give enough away. That one I don't know what I was thinking. We've bought a TV, appliances and electronics here, and be very detailed when comparing products, since Costco often builds specifically with the manufacturer, and what they're offering sometimes isn't exactly what's offered elsewhere and can be missing a few bells and whistles (or vice versa, then that's nice). I've also used the photo department here, and it's very convenient. I uploaded my pictures online, and they turn around in a day (they also do one-hour). I've also picked up food at their food court, which is beyond cheap but still good. Combo pizza slice. $1.99. Yum. Or a hot dog. $1.50. Yeah, you read right. Since they make their margins on bulk buying themselves, don't expect much selection here. For instance, there's only two dishwasher detergents - Kirkland and Cascade original. For a while they only had a lemon Cascade, which I couldn't buy since my silverware said no lemon (?!), so I was stuck with the Kirkland one, not a big deal, and I'm not feeling strongly invested in my detergent choice that I'd make another stop elsewhere. So: very limited brand selection, good prices, very convenient. Great for staples. read more

I have to say something nice about a plucky little gal named Gina who works the cashier lanes at this outlet. She is funny and friendly and always engaging. She's good at cheering up little crying kids and commiserating with old people. Nice girl. Pure personality. They're luck to have her. read more

There's nothing inherently bad about Costco. Great bulk selections of everything. You can get Jeans, Hummus, a big screen TV, and some Fish Oil all in one trip. I really do enjoy how everything is gigantic. Word to the wise... Don't ever go on the weekend unless you want to battle people for space. I tell you what: there are women and men who will cut you off because they need a sample of the blueberry granola (made with whole grains by the way). Anyone who is not aware of the Costco brand by now has been living under a rock the past 10 years. I actually worked here for a short while and although it was temporary, I was treated with respect and never had an issue with coworkers. If you are looking to get into retail (I wasn't), Costco is a great place for a career. I know the company has a low turnover rate, and they pay very well, even for part-timers. All in all, I love Costco. I'd never go on a weekend because the crowds frighten me too much. Yes... frighten. Get ready for a battle royale if you decide to trek here, or any location, on a Saturday. read more

Food court review only. After navigating through the S L O W Saturday shoppers I was starving! While zoning out in the check out line I saw a sign for a BBQ beef brisket sandwich. Of course the photo made it look great, so I ordered it. There was a line at the food court but it moved fast. Important - The food court ONLY TAKES CASH. I ordered the sandwich to try it out. I've had the pizza here and the hot dog and a salad and it's all been great. I watched them get the meat out and put some coleslaw on the bottom of the bun and then the meat on top. Nice and fresh, not sitting around for a long time is good. The sauce had a little kick to it and it was just right. Totally worth steering the big ass cart through the crowd of shopping zombies! read more

Lets talk about the food court... The berry strawberry sundae was terrible and the berry smoothie was awful. The berries were drenched in artificial syrup and it tasted like complete poop. STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT TO LIVE. The smoothie was not blended correctly and I repeatedly was swallowing chunks of berries. IT WAS POOP! read more

I specifically go out of my way to go to this Costco. Our "home" store is the oak brook location. But that location is a nut house. Bloomingdale is clean, organized, and I almost can find an employee to help me. I've never had an issue with membership or returning anything I wasn't satisfied with. This location is definitely less crazy than some of the other Costco's in the area. I recommend coming during the week and in the afternoon. read more

I'm always happy at COSTCO no matter where in the country or around the world I am in it to shop! Personally, the pharmacy service with its low prices on my meds, beating every other pharmacy, is a significant blessing. We print all our photos here (or at COSTCO locations, in general), and have been doing so for a couple decades now. I love how in different parts of the country and beyond, COSTCO food courts will have an item reflecting the ethnicity of the neighborhood, like the Bulgogi Bake (not sure if that's what they call it) in the COSTCO in Saitama, Japan. And speaking of Japan, 5 years ago when my hubby & I served as volunteers in the disaster relief work after the Great Earthquake/Tsunami/nuclear meltdown in Japan, visiting COSTCO helped in de-stressing, especially since it provided an environment that was a taste of America. Our entire family have been patients of the Vision Center for years, from the Pacific Northwest to Denver to Chicagoland, everywhere we've moved to. And now that two of our four kids are married, there are now 3 memberships in this family! read more

This review is on the optical, very poor service by the receptionist guy. He wont even say hello when you walk inside the store. I went here for the first time had an appt at 2:30 1/28/14.I waited appx 3 minutes by the front door, this guy did not great me. So i walked in own my own and set on a chair. Still this guy hasn't spoken to me. He has seen me coming in. Waited till the doctor came and their he goes up and say"s to me. ""Oh you cant sit here, you are not allowed here you should sit here by the front door" i said look Dr, this guy wont buzz when i walked in know after you came he just got up and asked me to move. I said he needs to show some respect to customers and provide a good customer service. He just stood their with a surprise....... Thanks read more

I'll be honest, when I was looking for a new place a couple years ago, living 5 mins from Costco was one of the perks I had for my current place. This Costco can get busy, but if you go at the right times it's not too bad. Usually gets busy at primetime after work. As always, it's nice when you wander in during sample time. And everyone knows the costco food court is one of the best when it comes to price and value. $1.50 for a footlong hotdog and a drink? That's crazy! I hear they are switching to pepsi soon. The gas station is also great but can also get very busy. Just have to find the optimal times. The only downside is you can easily buy way too much stuff and if you have a small family you may end up throwing some stuff away lol. read more

This costco is the closest to my house and therefore we frequent quite a bit. The only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars is that their produce has been really lacking lately. Stuff was already rotten and moldy on the past few trips. Since I don't shop at a traditional grocery store anymore, we depended on Costco for everything. Hopefully their produce section will be better soon. read more
