Costco Fresh Baked Pumpkin Pie
Slices of Costco Pumpkin Pie

I don't like pumpkin pie custard, but I do love pie crust, so when I tried some of Costco's pumpkin pie, I mainly had the crust.

Delicious Costco pumpkin pie crust!

Costco's fresh baked pumpkin pie definitely has a delicious pie crust! The pie crust is flaky with a nice, buttery taste. Also if you warm it up, the crust kind of tastes crepe-like.

My boyfriend says the custard part of the pie has a robust pumpkin flavor (not an artificial pumpkin taste) and is pretty sweet and also delicious!

REVIEW – F’real Vanilla Milkshake

Freal Vanilla Milkshake from QT

I tried a F'real Vanilla Milkshake from a QuikTrip convenience store and mixed it on the 'regular' thickness setting.

The vanilla taste of the milkshake was pretty good, and it wasn't overly sweet or overly vanilla-y. The milkshake seemed to be melting quickly, so I might try it on a thicker setting next time I have it. Overall, it basically tasted kind of like a soft serve ice cream that had been blended into a milkshake.

I wasn't able to finish my milkshake so I put it in the freezer. When I ate it later, I ate it as ice cream, and it still tasted pretty good.

Overall Rating:
Good

REVIEW – La Creperie Belgian Crepes from Costco

La Creperie Crepes from Costco

I tried some of these La Creperie Crepes that I saw at Costco.

I warmed a crepe up in the microwave for about 1 minute (after 40 seconds it was still a little cold). I ate the crepe plain, as I don't really like putting anything on crepes when I eat them. It was maybe a little thicker than the typical crepe, but it tasted like a crepe with its slightly sweet taste, and it satisfied my crepe craving at the time.

Update (April 2014): I haven't been able to find these crepes at the Costco near me for a long while -- but Costco now sometimes has "Belgian Boys All Natural Crepes".
