Cinnamon buns are one of my favorite things. There are quite a few variations of this simple treat, even just at Costco – cinnamon danishes, cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing and mini cinnamon buns to name a few. This Kirkland Signature Gooey Cinnamon Roll is similar to other cinnamon buns with cream cheese icing, but it comes in an oven-safe pan so that it’s easy to heat the cinnamon rolls to maximize their gooeyness (and deliciousness!). It’s designed more for serving a small group than for taking out a single cinnamon roll at a time. Let’s be honest though, it would take a lot of self-control to eat just one of these Costco Pull-A-Part Gooey Cinnamon Rolls, if you can even figure out where each one starts and ends!
Other Costco bakery items I enjoy are the Kirkland Signature Coffee Cake, Kirkland Signature Banana Pecan Loaf, Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie, Kirkland Signature Raspberry Crumble Cookies, Kirkland Signature Almond Danishes, Kirkland Signature Cheese Buns, Kirkland Signature Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Kirkland Signature Tuxedo Cake.
Location in Store
The Kirkland Signature Gooey Cinnamon Rolls are located in the bakery section at Costco and the item number is 1010124. I bought the cinnamon rolls in Kalispell, Montana. I’ve also seen this item labeled as a Cinnamon Pull-A-Part.
Taste
I’ll say right off the top – this cinnamon roll is as good as it looks. It’s basically a giant Cinnabon. I baked my cinnamon roll for about seven minutes, and I kind of wish I’d done it for a bit longer. It was warm, but not hot.
It doesn’t come apart or out of the pan too easily – you’ll want to cut your pieces before removing them and probably separate them from the sides and bottom of the pan too. I don’t think that’s going to bother anyone too much though!
Taste wise it does remind me a lot of Cinnabon or other places like that. Gooey is a great description. The icing and the cinnamon mixture in the roll both add to the gooey goodness. It’s not too sweet and has a great buttery cinnamon flavor. You can tell there’s actual butter in it.
The cream cheese icing is good too. It definitely tastes like cream cheese and isn’t too sweet. You don’t notice the cream cheese flavor as much as you eat the cinnamon roll. There isn’t quite as much icing as you’d find on a Cinnabon, so that’s probably part of it.
Cost
There are six cinnamon rolls in the round container, which costs $12.99 USD. This isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s cheaper than buying Cinnarolls or Cinnzeo.
Convenience
The package has directions on how to heat the entire container of rolls in the oven which we did. Next time I think I’d cut rolls out individually and just microwave them because there’s no way Sean and I are eating an entire container of rolls in one sitting.
The rolls can be easily frozen and despite heating the whole aluminum tray of rolls we froze some.
Nutrition
Calories
One roll contains 250 calories, 10 grams of fat, 200 milligrams of sodium, 35 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, 16 grams of sugar and four grams of protein.
That’s not that terrible for a cinnamon roll, I was expecting more calories, fat and carbs to be honest! I absolutely love cinnamon rolls so they’re worth every calorie in my opinion.
Ingredients
The ingredients list is pretty typical for a cinnamon roll, flour, sugar, butter, brown sugar and cream cheese! The rolls contain wheat, milk, egg and soy and may contain peanuts, tree nuts and sesame.

My Costco puts TONS OF ICING on these cinnamon rolls, the guy i know who works in the bakery, also adds a special extra ingredient to them which makes them even better! And if i ask
he will add more icing on top on the down low for me….lol Like seriously, the amount of icing on the cinnamon rolls makes it impossible to even see the cinnamon roll under all that icing. When i eat some, i cut it like a slice of pie & get 14 slices if not more from one pan instead of 6 pull apart rolls…because eating them as is, is way to fattening which is why all american are overweight because no one has control….
The best rolls by far. As far as price goes, at 12.99 that is a bargain!!! Guys, that is only 2.20 cents per role. I realize we were used to cheaper prices, but break it down to one roll for only 2.20. We don’t microwave or bake the whole pan, , just cut individually heat in the oven to 225 and let the icing and going stuff melt all around. OMG! we are eating some in about 5 mins. Now I need to know if I can freeze the whole pan, as I would like to put 2 more in the freezer if at all possible. Thanks Costco for a delicious treat!
Best I have ever tasted. These gooey cinnamon roles are outstanding. This was my first time buying them. I try to bake my own deserts so I rairly buy premade. The frosting is outstanding and the roles are baked perfect. I know, $12,99 but you get 6 big roles. Most specialty bakerys will charge alot more then that, at least $5.00 per role. Try them once. You wont be disappointed.
Not impressed with the new cinnamon rolls. They jumped from 6.99 to 12.99 and even after microwaving they are not very soft. Over priced and over baked.
According to MyFitnessPal.com, these cinnamon rolls actually have 430 calories each.
SOOOOO amazing!! They are expensive (12.99) but bought them
As a special treat. I only eat half of one at a time even thought I could eat the whole thing!! I really like the frosting. I expected it to be way too sweet but it has just the right amount of sweetness! Extremely hard to limit myself to just a half of one!!
I agree! I try to eat just half too and I always want the second half!
They are as good as they look. They are delicious and gooey fun. Microwave for 15 seconds and you’re all set to enjoy to your hearts content. Definitely recommend. 10/10 in my book. Yum yum 🤤
These are sooo good. Much better than their previous cinnamon rolls.
I agree with your review completely. Thanks.
Oh my goodness, now I want some!! They sound fab. I don’t have a sweet tooth but a bit of a weakness for a good cinnamon roll. Must admit, for me, toasted pecans would put it over the top, along with a slather of butter lol 🤤. Thanks for your review. Now I’ll have to check my warehouse.
Wow these have enough butter in them already & are fattening enough!!! Wonder why americans are all overweight & thick….
Way too expensive IMO. I mean…$13? No thanks on this one.
And that’s $13 in US money which translates to $17 Canadian! Wonder if we have it here and if so, how much? 🙄
These are really good. I bought them a couple times a month earlier this year when they were $6.99 USD. I went in a couple months ago and the price had gone up to $12.99 USD. I quit buying them at that price.
They were two different types thats why….one were called gooey and others were pull apart…
There 12,99 for 16
No, I just bought the gooey ones. It’s qty 6.
I love them, i cut them like a pie & get 16 slices if not more…Eating them as 6 is wayyyy to many carbohydrates & is too fattening & plus i would feel sick after wards…Got to keep up with my “Barbie” nickname! Lol
You sooooo have to try them atleast once! Its just money, you only have one life, enjoy it, but eat them in moderation, i get 16 slices out of this pan because i cut them like i would a pie…
They are sooooo worth it! Its just money, i buy whatever i want when i want….you only live once & you wint regret this purchase…Its only $13. Not like buying a few Lv purse that costs me 1000s. Splurge once in a while!!! They are soooooooo sooooo good! I get 16 slices out of one.
