I live in Atlanta now, but I have nostalgia for the Ellis Island experience of the Costco in Sunset Park, which was a 15 minute drive from our home in Bay Ridge. Within a month of getting married, we had a Costco card (it's yellowed with age now) I was just grateful there was a Costco: it's a lifesaver with kids, especially when both parents work. I can't even imagine how we would have managed without it. Always purchase at Costco: 1) toilet paper 2) paper towels 3) laundry detergent 4) grocery staples that children go through quickly! 5) COFFEE! 6) LINT rollers!! pillows! towels! storage containers! Also, Costco is one of the few remaining good guys while the rest of corporate America becomes increasingly profit-driven and exploitive of their workers. That counts for a great deal in my book, so I am a ride or die Costco supporter. If you have any awareness of what it is like to live on an hourly wage in this economy (or even if you are lucky enough to not know firsthand, but you care) you can feel good about shopping here. And -- if you can't find something in the shop: GO ONLINE!!! Their service for anything you need is first rate. We buy all our electronics there, prescriptions at Costco, and glasses for us & the kids -- we always check first with them for any big ticket purchase. read more

Costco profits are up but I have lost trust in the brand. Mostly because they sell unhealthy products that have been the subject of investigations into products which they now offer "on sale" This includes toxic chemicals in certain Nature Made vitamins (Lang v Pharmavite). Thanks but no thanks ! According to newswire, April 29 2025 the dha Nature Made vitamins marketed to pregnant women contain toxic chemicals. I mean seriously what the heck ? An issue this serious needs to be clarified or pulled from the shelves. Or risk losing customers. I am buying less and less from Costco. Their PR team needs to address this!! Now I am very suspicious of any Costco item I find on sale. Why is it on sale ? Maybe because something is wrong with it. read more

Today was the first time since over the summer that I have visited this location. I used to remember going to Costco in New Rochelle, NY as a kid and exploring the aisles without worrying I can't get back to where my family were. That's not the case in this location. Parents don't let your kids do this cause the Sunset Park location is a madhouse even for adults. Parking is insane, finding a shopping cart is like hunting, & getting into or out the store is like a contact sport. I have tried to figure out when is a best time to shop here but it seems there's never a good time. Parking is ridiculous. The layout as 2 floors makes sense to some but never when the checkout lines and the line to get to the second floor meet. In all the membership & bulk items are worth it but carry an extra dose of patience and less anxiety. You will need that and then some cause shopping here is not for the weak. The selection of items differs in comparison with BJ's Wholesale but you get some things that are unique. Hopefully I'll be able to decipher soon when is a good time but I'll continue going to BJ's Warehouse in South Brooklyn by the BQE where that's not needed. read more

Had to quickly stop by to check out a 2 story Costco! What a great way to maximize on limited real estate! Why not build on top??? These escalators accommodated the full size Costco carts! 2 sets going up and down and an elevator! Fun! Friendly employees! read more

We usually shop here for rotisserie chicken, milk and bread. We shopped on Saturday for groceries and bought Rainier fruit Envy apples; they were crisp and delicious. We also bought Samlip soft cheese cake (Korean); they are light and sweet and yummy. We also bought Red's cilantro and chicken burritos as well as Red's breakfast burritos with chicken and sausage and egg. We love these burritos. The value and price are good. The service is good. We try to avoid the rush times so we're not sick waiting for a parking spot or long checkout lines. It wasn't bad this past Saturday. read more

Costco Sunset Park is truly a love hate experience for me. The parking lot alone feels like a survival game, with people camping for spots, others ignoring the unspoken rules, cars getting towed, and a pretty high chance someone is honking or arguing. It doesn't get much calmer inside either. This location is two floors, so navigating between levels on a busy day can add to the chaos. Sometimes you even have to wait for a shopping cart by trailing someone to their car and politely asking if you can take theirs after they unload. It used to feel a little sweeter when the liquor store next door was still around before the pandemic, but even with all the chaos, I'm still grateful to have a Costco nearby. This spot caters to a big Asian crowd, so it's always fun seeing the rotating Asian snacks, sauces, and frozen goodies. I'm Costco obsessed in general, so I still get excited over the samples, seasonal deals, random clothing finds, and just wandering the aisles. I do wish their poultry and produce quality were better, but the savings are real. Their return policy is one of the best out there, which makes shopping here feel safe and worth it. The staff here is knowledgeable and helpful. They scan your membership at the door and again at checkout, and I've seen them turn non members away, better to just sign up. The Executive membership really does pay you back with rewards, it's worth the upgrade. Crowd control, though, is basically nonexistent, so expect gridlock on busy days from the entrance to checkout to the food court, especially when it's raining. Despite everything, I still keep coming back. read more

I've been coming to this Costco for many years. Lately, it's been much more crowded, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. I recommend visiting on a weekday if you'd like to avoid the heavy crowds. Maybe a Tuesday or Wednesday. Compared to other Costco locations, the samples here are just okay, I've had better samples elsewhere and they have more samples. Here you can get about 4 samples during your visit. I've never had any problems shopping here or with the staff, everyone has always been helpful and efficient. And of course, I can never leave without stopping by the food court for the classic $1.50 hot dog combo and a slice of pizza. read more

I've been to this Costco many times but today I am going to review my food court experience. I arrived to this Costco on a weekday around 2 pm. Parking was tough as usual at this time but will clear up by 3 pm. You need to wait but you will get one eventually. Going to the food court, I noticed some of the my favorite food items wasn't up to par. The pizza had a burnt cheese topping and extra thick on the crust on all the pies. The hot dog I ordered also no longer has the chewy bun; the airy soft bun broke apart as I was eating it. There was one new item on the menu... the combo calzone. A calzone with the filling that was on the old combo pizza pie for $6.99. Viewing it from the window, it looked dry and over baked but I bet it would be good with all the mentioned saucy filling; a bit expensive though. Maybe be next time! read more

This store is just ridiculous to shop at. It's always crowded and never any parking. The amount of times you have to circle their parking lot is ridiculous. If you're going to shop here it has to be as soon as they open otherwise good luck. read more

Staffs were friendly. Located in Costco, you need a membership to get in, scan at the front entrance with two machines. Ordered their classic $1.50 hot dog special that comes with the refillable drink. Be careful some of the soda ended up as water and the relish station ran out. It was a good bite to have after shopping. read more

Costco Wholesale - Sunset Park - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Not much to comment about service as there is just about none. The selection of food is small but it is really only to lure people in the door with the given price. As usual, there is a lot to buy but it is but in a large amount so the value is great if you can finish the amount you're buying. This Costco I would say is one of the worst ones selection wise and it is also super crowded with restaurant workers shopping huge amounts. read more

Overall good prices, cleanliness and layout however I wish they would stop moving things around. I understand they want to 'expose' us to more items but it's annoying when I have limited time to shop. Also they really need to start ticketing people who park in handicap spots without the proper tags/plates. read more

Reviewing the food court new items, but I usually visit this Costco location to pick up a few items when I'm local. The rush and lines here are out of this world as it's the only location in Brooklyn and is busy basically at all given times. If you really want to do a thorough haul, I would recommend going to other locations perhaps in Long Island or even New Jersey as they are larger and have more inventory, more outdoor equipment, even do car servicing. Anyways, for the food items I decided to try the new caramel brownie sundae and of course could not leave without their traditional hotdog. The sundae itself I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how good it was! Now of course, I've had their ice cream before and many times during my life, but finally a new take on the traditional vanilla ice cream soft serve by adding the brownies that they bake in house and pairing it with a luscious caramel sauce was a perfect and heavenly combination. For $2.99 you can get a quite decent and large serving of ice cream and it was honestly so good I finished the entire cup myself. The brownies are so soft and not overwhelmingly sweet and add a good texture to the sundae, while the ice cream is so buttery and smooth. The hotdog as always a traditional staple, was excellent. I would definitely go back to indulge in the sundae one more time and hopefully they keep this on their menu forever! read more

Whenever I'm in Brooklyn near Industry City, I'll try to stop by. Where else can you get a soda and a hotdog for $1.50? This place is massive, but I thought it was small at first. There's actually 2 stories! The place is a little chaotic, and I think it'd be nice if they did a better job restocking or labeling the aisles. Or that could be their strategy to have you wander around and buy stuff on the way. I'd find some interesting snack on a shelf by itself, but it was on the wrong area and a little crushed. Trying to find the original location for the mini crab snacks was a lost cause since it didn't appear in the Asian section or chips aisle. Lots of free samples of course. I'd probably have to get a car to take advantage of coming here often since everything is in bulk. They weren't too crazy about the check-in like some tiktoks with face ID, but they did block some people from entering without a card. Also, it's odd they have self checkout lines that are manned. I guess there's too many thieves. read more

It pains me to write this review. I love Costco and I shop at Costco regularly BUT this is the absolute worst Costco I have ever been to. No matter the time or day that I get here, it is always PACKED and CHAOTIC in here. I have since started ordering via instacart because you could not PAY ME to endure the chaos in there. The value is always great but this location is 2 floors and its just always always crowded. I dont even know where the food court is because Once i step foot in here I want to GTFO immediately. read more

This is our go to Costco. Is it super crowded here almost always? Yes. Is every Costco? I don't know. Maybe. I will tell you what this Costco does right though, which is be organized. They are so orderly among the chaos, are staffed appropriately, and if you notice, there is never a long wait...not for checkout, not for food, nor for the elevator nor escalators. They have employees positioned seemingly everywhere who work hard and are ready to help. I appreciate that here and they deserve 5 stars just for that. I am not sure if we can help the chaos though bc Costco does offer some amazing prices on everyday items so many of us do our weekly or monthly shopping here to save and sometimes those delectable free samples get the better of us. :) read more

This place is a zoo. Rude customers. Rude staff. The selection is poor. As big as this place is, it don't carry items that other Costcos carry. Im in the freezer looking for eggs, an angry employee was yelling at the top of his lungs "it's no more eggs". Ordered three hotdogs to go, one was ice cold. How??? The soda machine was out of syrup, so most drinks was pushing out water. One terrible experience, probably take the drive and go elsewhere to another Costco. read more

I came here on a Sunday morning and it was super crowded! No space to park in the parking lot. I had to circle around multiple times. The line to checkout was crazy. I gave up on my shopping. I only bought its infamous $1.50 hotdog + soda as lunch and left. Also, the amount of recycling machines are three, too little!!! If you decide to come here, expect to go thru a lot of stress before coming out with your groceries read more

The most crowded Costco I've ever been to. Especially on weekends, it's insane. From the moment you get to Costco, finding a parking spot, finding a cart, rolling the cart around Costco, waiting on a line to go down the escalator, waiting on line to check out. The lines are massive. It often spans a whole aisle and loops around twice. Try to avoid coming on a weekend if you can. There's a wide variety of stuff but I've never really seen any "manager specials" or any sales besides the advertised on the booklet. If you have time to browse, you'll come across lots of new items. The food court is small and just two staff manning the food court. The one who took my order is courteous and fast. There's also self check out lines also machines for ordering at the food court. Overall: it's the most accessible Costco in Brooklyn and has gotten way too crowded over the years. I try to avoid coming if I can. read more

I love the items they sell. It's the best value for your money. Service is great. The problem is that this location is good but the amount of people that go us out of control. So busy and packed. Very hard to walk with the carts. No matter what time I've been there it has always been extremely packed. Would love to see them build another Costco in Brooklyn some where. To alleviate the Congestion in that store and the workers that work so hard. Other than this issue I love all the things they sell there and so many choices to choose. read more

I love checking out Costcos in different cities. For me, it's fun to see the different types of regional foods that I can't find at my home warehouse. This Costco is especially busy because it is in Brooklyn but the staff do a great job of trying to maintain traffic flow. Here, your cart needs to be taken to a conveyor belt to get upstairs to the food area. Once upstairs, it was a little crazy trying to figure out the lay of the land amongst so many people but it didn't take too long. It was interesting to see things like a Kosher section and items like a "Cannoli Kit," the famous New York Black & White cookies, and a surprise Smoked Salmon Poke Bowl! The milk here is different, too! Singular gallons (I didn't see non-fat) instead of the two-pack we usually get. The milk container here is shaped differently, too - but it fits perfectly into a little side shelf in our AirBnB fridge, which I suspect was designed just for that purpose. Checking out was a breeze but taking an Uber home in all that traffic is another story. We'll try to get back here again while in town! read more

First, this Costco has 2 floors! I was absolutely amazed by this! Cuz who needs 2 floors of a wholesale items?! Me! lol. So my friends and i decided to support Costco because they are supporting their DEI standards, and we love that for us! Apparently everyone thought the same thing as us because the membership line was long, and them cashier lines were even longer! The membership is about $60 for the year, but the rules that Costco has is kinda insane. For 1, payment. Only the card member can use a credit card for payment. Everyone else has to pay cash or debit for their purchases. You also have to pay for everything on one bill, one receipt for each transaction, which i found weird. Because at the end of the transaction, now you have to pull out a calculator to figure out who pays what for their purchases. That part was annoying! Also, all the rules were not explained when we were signing up. The cashiers were rude when we were trying to understand their rules, and instead of informing us, they would stop the entire line to call a manager to explain the rules instead of doing it themselves. That experience was very upsetting and confusing. I'll support because they support DEI, but sheesh! So 2.7 for this location because a lot of the nonsense could've been avoided had things been explained at the beginning of us purchasing a membership that day. read more

Costco Wholesale - Sunset Park - Parking Lot / Closing time - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Super packed costco if you come on the weekends. Parking will be tough and lines will be long. Sometimes even their carts are out due to the amount of people. Popular items are always sold out by evening hours. You need to either come on a weekday morning close to opening or close to closing time. If you want to order a pizza pie, I would definitely call ahead because I've waited over 45 minutes when they're busy. However, Costco prices are unbeatable especially when things are on sales. Plan ahead and avoid the busy hours/days. read more

This place is way too crowded. As the most accessible Costco for many New Yorkers, it is way too understaffed. Don't dare come on a weekend. Customers here are struggling to get what they want and every time I go here, I'm very close to punching people or starting a fight. The staff here seems to be overworked and under appreciated. The least busy day here is just as chaotic as any other Costco on their busiest day. When you have a Costco where people can reach via bus, car, train, or even bike, you're bound to get lots of customers. read more

I have been coming to this Costco for years. I come here at leadt once a month. The staff is always helpful and quick. The place is big and very well organized.

We were assisted and finished in less than 2 minutes, they worked so fast. Its best to get there around 9:15 on a Saturday, as if you get there earlier you will have to wait in a line that wraps around. read more

I rather mace myself than come here on a Saturday or Sunday. read more

Corporate really needs to expand the parking lot!!! They can't expand outwards but they can expand upwards.....CORPORATE......spend some money and build a two or three level parking structure to accommodate your customers. I went there today and had to leave after wasting 20-30 minutes looking for a spot in their lot, under the expressway, on the side streets...... it was nuts!!!! Guess I'll go to BJ's Ave D where they don't have this problem because THEY HAVE GROUND FLOOR AND PARKING ON THE ROOF!!! read more

O STARS FOR COSTCO LOCATED AT THIRD AVENUE IN SUNSET PARK BROOKLYN. THIS YELP REVIEW SITE DOESNT ALLOW ZERO STARS! I arrived at the over parking lot where the line of traffic was a block long to get into the overcrowded lot. When entering the facility my card was scanned to be sure I was indeed the card member. This seems to be a new practice as people are entering Costco with other people's memberships or getting to the register and not having a membership at all! I was ordering a cake for a birthday party at the bakery section. . There was a sign explaining the sizing and designs they offer with photos. . A woman with a walker was standing in front of the sign blocking it. We kindly said excuse us we would like to see the sign. The woman who was elderly threw a large chocolate layer cake at us. The cake fell on the floor upside down and managed to stay within the packaging. Some of the plastic from the packaging broke off. She also had a animal pillow and threw it and kicked it at us. She never spoke a word to us! The woman at the bakery picked up the cake and threw it in the garbage and picked up the animal. We just couldn't believe that this happened!!! The employee was a bit stunned. Security or lack there of was not called to remove the woman! As I walked around Costco I got a better look at the woman roaming the aisles she appeared homeless and was a definite EDP. I guess she would be free to attack someone else? Meanwhile my membership card is being scanned? How did this woman get into the facility? To make matters worse we saw a rat running rather quickly over packaged food. All this happened on the second floor. I guess the rats have a field day in this Costco at night!! I have been shopping here for years and I was never so shocked and disgusted! I would love to hear from other shoppers about their experiences! Has anyone else seen rodents ??? read more

I switched from BJ's to here. Love it. Different foods, that's great. But thisssssssss parking and it is after 9am waiting in line outside is really ridiculous. I have to get here super super early. They have "guards" posted outside each gate so people don't flood the parking lot. But what people are really flooding the lot?? Cabs, randoms. If I pay for a membership to Costco, I shouldn't have to park outside the lot. On one occasion I even had to pay for parking across the street. Do you know what it's like rolling bulk items across the highway. It's traumatic. I definitely expected more from Costco. read more
