Costco is no stranger to viral food sensations, and its latest summertime hit proves once again that the warehouse giant knows how to tap into trending tastes. The buzz this season centers around Nightingale Ice Cream’s Strawberry Shortcake sandwiches, now available in a Costco-exclusive 18-pack. After last year’s Cookie Monster flavor sold out in just one week, expectations for this latest release were sky-high—and I had to find out for myself whether the hype was justified.
Nightingale, a small-batch, handcrafted brand, is known for its high-quality ingredients and playful, flavor-packed ice cream sandwich. With 14% butterfat in the ice cream and freshly baked cookies, these treats aren’t your average frozen aisle fare. Their tagline, “handcrafted down to the crumbs,” sets the tone for a product that promises both indulgence and authenticity.
Let’s talk flavor: The Strawberry Shortcake sandwiches are a celebration of summer. The ice cream tastes like it was churned straight from a farmers market haul—vibrant, juicy strawberry notes with no artificial aftertaste. It’s nestled between golden, chewy brown sugar cookies that add richness and a home-baked warmth that elevates the entire experience.
If Costco’s latest ice cream franchise-style collaboration with Nightingale teaches us anything, it’s that customers are craving more than just convenience—they want quality, creativity, and seasonal excitement. With ice cream franchise opportunities heating up nationwide, products like Nightingale’s sandwiches are a reminder that artisanal quality can scale beautifully when paired with the right platform.
Verdict? Worth the hype—and then some. If you spot a box at your local Costco, grab it before it disappears. Again.
