Love Costco. This one's pretty busy normally. But it's nice having a place with a little bit of everything from Plants, clothes, jewelry, appliances, electronics, furniture and food. It's nice to browse. Multiple free samples and the lines go by decently fast. Only downfall I personally don't like is they don't take Mastercards and they don't bag anything. They do have boxes that can assist in putting your smaller items in but pretty much bring your own bag or make multiple trips from your car to your house. You can find a lot of great things. Recommend getting it a membership.

This review is for the bakery specifically. The store overall is fine. Long story short: If you plan to order a cake from the bakery, they expect you to pick it up on the exact date that you write down or they will toss it out. 2 stars instead of 1: Thankfully they don't ask for a deposit or pre-pay on the order, so you're not out the money if you don't get the cake. Long story long: About 3 weeks ago, I put in an order for my kid's 13th birthday. I was very much looking forward to this cake being made, because they now make a design with the iconic giant Costco teddy bear! So cute! Plus Costco cakes have always been the best tasting store-bought cakes I've ever had. On the order form, I wrote down the date for pickup to be 11/28. Having made the order 3 weeks ago, I completely forgot on the day of and went in the very next day, on 11/29 to pick it up. The day of my kids bday, btw. The cake isn't there when I go to the case that stores the orders. I ask a staff member at the bakery what may have happened to it, and they said if a cake is not picked up on the date specified, they toss it the next morning. The case they had for cake orders was practically empty. It only had 3 other cakes stored in it, so it couldn't be a storage issue. They said it had something to do with contamination/health guidelines. I lied and said I understood. It doesn't make sense to me when it was only one day. So why does the order form ask for a phone number of the member if they aren't going to call and ask if they still plan to pick it up? What a waste of product and time to not even give the courtesy of doing that. The staff said the best they could do would be to write a custom message on one of the pre-made cakes already on display for sale. Of course none of them were the one I had wanted. I don't blame the employees at all. If that's the store policy, then they have to uphold that. This bummed me out so much that I left my cart of stuff and walked out. I went somewhere else for another cake. Costco, please consider changing your policy/procedure for cake ordering. If the member doesn't pick up their cake on the date specified, call them and ask if they are still planning to pick it up. Maybe give a 2-3 day grace period rather than one day? If there isn't time to make phone calls, or if storage is an issue, put a sign up or a note on the order form stating if the cake isn't picked up on the day of, it won't be available? This would save a lot of grief on both sides.

This marks my 1000th review. In almost 10 years as elite. First time here. I was in the area and needed to return a couple of things. Imagine my surprise that this store has a left entrance and is flipped. Just like Rochester, MN Costco. Need to find my bearings dontcha know. I found a Dowdle Galveston puzzle. This was awesome as I was there in March. I rarely find any steals or deals but found spaezel noodles for 1.97. I bought 4. Also found apple chips for my college son. The snack bar area was super small. This Costco is too far away to be my regular Costco. I'll definitely stop again when I'm in the area again. Pictures of the items I found.

We love Costco! The only downside is I always walk in intending to buy a few things but end up leaving with a full cart. The store can get pretty busy so I try and shop later in the evening which is a much more relaxing experience where I feel like I can actually take my time and look at things.

Understaffed and no place to wait for handicapped customers. Not sure it’s worth the money saved.

As others have said, this store is crowded even on a weekday. Entering through the parking lot I see people leaving with their basket filled with cases stacked of water and other items. Where do people store all the stuff?The store is mostly grocery items but I have only two problems, even though I have to adjust my mindset that this is not like any other store. Organization: There is a dairy section, but only a few dairy items. There is more dairy products in other parts of the store with no signage. Same as the large meat section, there are other parts of the store when next to the clothes table, there is a cooler with more meat.Selection: There is no lactose free milk, if you want yogurt or cottage cheese, there is one blend only of each. No Mozzarella except for a mushy bag of soft round globes of smearing cheese, not sure what that is.I'll just casually mention the patrons all seem to be in a rush harking back to barely stocked stores during the early pandemic days when there was a panic rush to clear the shelves of creme of asparagus soup.

Their turn around time on my glasses was crazy fast! Like. 3 days! Impressive. And the cheapest lenses for my glasses that I think I’ve ever paid! I’m super pleased with my Kirkland frames and lenses. I have not ordered my contacts yet, as I am still working with trial lenses. But I have no doubt I will be as equally pleased with my service. The staff is quick (not the norm any more) and very professional.Thanks Costco Optical , Dr Hess and Valley Eye Clinic. Although you are not affiliated, you clearly work well together.

Really strange experience going here for glasses. Customer service representatives were visibly annoyed when I asked questions or was waiting for assistance, and repeatedly set up obstacles in what I assume was an attempt for me to just give up and go away. I have no doubt that if I dropped dead where I stood they would have stepped over my body on their way to ignore other customers. Ultimately it became a game of wits and I ended up purchasing the pair I wanted. Small selection, but if you must visit this department be prepared to fight for your life

Decent selection but trying to get help from any of the three staff is like pulling teeth. The two women behind the counter practiced active avoidance of all customers while the man in front was busy organizing the glasses

I’d give them zero stars if that were possible. I scheduled an appointment 3 weeks in advance because they didn’t have any openings. I get there at my scheduled time and they tell me they scheduled someone else in because they don’t expect my insurance even though I had previously agreed to pay in full out of pocket. The Dr was also smug and rude about it as if I didn’t matter because my insurance isn’t expected there. Ridiculous and very bad service.

I've been purchasing prescriptive glasses for my family at Costco Optical for several years.Bring your current eyeglass prescription with you, pick your frames and they will set you up.
