Costco - Goleta

Costco is... Costco. This particular review is of their bakery cake selection. It's a really good deal for a lot of cake, but the selections have been narrowed versus what they've done in the past. White cake with white frosting or chocolate cake with chocolate frosting those are your choices. The patterns for decoration are also pretty limited. (See picture from 9/7/21 (Update: on the order form, there is an option for a graduation design where you can pick school colors. The design has a mortar board and plenty of room for a customized message. This is what we needed for our recent celebration, and it actually worked out really well. I bumped up the review from three stars to four based on our experience. On the upside, they have rapid turnaround times; they're only asking for a day to get you have a giant cake ready for you with customized writing. And the cake is good quality, but not high end bakery quality, but neither are the prices.

National big box retailer selling everything the consumer wants or needs even if they don't know it until they see it on the shelf. Wide aisles and plenty of samples to keep your energy up until you finally find your way to the exit.

A full sized Costco in little Goleta, CA. I wish they had a gas station, but otherwise it is well stocked and has a pharmacy, optometrist, hearing services, bakery, etc. The staff are very helpful. It's over an hour to the next closest location so we are grateful to have one!

Very well stocked, busy store. Parking lot is adequate, but may need to walk a distance on busier days. Lots to choose from, aisles are wide, employees friendly and helpful. Self check out is nice option when you only have a few items.

The Goleta Costco is typical of this big box warehouse. They have an outdoor food courtyard $1.50 hotdogs) and tire center but no gas station. They sell a wide variety of goods and offer a number services The prices are good and seasonal merchandise is displayed prominently near the front entrance. They have a great selection of wines and liquor at very reasonable prices. There is an in-house bakery offering a large selection of breads, pies and pastries. If you find something you like get it because it may be gone when you check back. Of course they sell the famous Costco cooked whole chicken.
