My local Costco bakery has had a few new items recently, and they’ve all been really good. The Kirkland Signature Maple Pecan Coffee Cake was absolutely delicious, so this Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Coffee Cake went into my cart as soon as I saw it! If you’re wondering if it’s worth buying or which of the two Costco coffee cakes is better, you’ve come to the right place!
If coffee cake isn’t your thing, some other Costco bakery items that I recommend are the Kirkland Signature Almond Danishes, Kirkland Signature Cherry Danish, Kirkland Signature Cinnamon Danish and the Kirkland Signature Banana Pecan Loaf.
Location in Store
You can find the peaches and cream coffee cake in the bakery section at Costco. The item number is 1741165.
Taste
The first thing I noticed was that the cake has a pleasant peach smell! It’s not overly strong, but definitely noticeable.
When I taste the cake, I immediately think of Quaker Peaches and Cream Oatmeal! I mean that in a positive way – I loved it as a kid! The flavor of this cake is very similar. The cake has a fair amount of texture from the streusel on top and the chunks of walnut. I actually didn’t realize the cake had walnuts in it until I cut a piece.
I wouldn’t normally think of walnuts and peaches as a good pairing in a coffee cake, but it works well. The peach chunks in the cake also add some texture as well as a pleasant amount of sweetness and peach flavor.
Cost
The cake costs $9.99 Canadian which is a really decent price for such a large cake! Coffee shops usually sell one slice of coffee cake for between $3 to $5 dollars!
Convenience
The cake comes in a paper lining and the entire cake is wrapped in a plastic bag. The best-before date is five days from when it was purchased. This works well for breakfast, brunch, afternoon tea or dessert! I think a little dollop of vanilla ice cream would make it extra decadent but I enjoyed mine for breakfast.
Nutrition
Calories
1/18th of the cake contains 200 calories, nine grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, 15 grams of sugar, three grams of protein and 270 milligrams of sodium. This may not seem like a lot of calories, fat or sugar but as I’ve said with other bakery products, I think the average person eats a bigger slice than 1/18th of the cake.
Ingredients
The ingredients list is pretty typical for a store-bought cake. I don’t love that there’s artificial flavor in the cake. There for sure isn’t very many “healthy ingredients” just the walnuts and peaches.
The cake contains milk, egg, wheat and walnuts and may contain soya, sesame, other tree nuts, peanuts and sulfites.
Scoring
Taste: 8.5/10
Cost: 9/10
Convenience: 10/10
Nutrition: 1/10 (One point for the walnuts).
Overall
Must buy!
These Costco coffee cakes are great! I like this one just as much as the maple pecan one.

What kind of hot drink would you pair this with ? I haven’t tried it yet but bought it with having friends over in mind.
Coffee or tea! Either or! I think it depends on peoples preference. I’m a coffee girl myself.
We were given one by a neighbour and we liked it. It was pretty good. We definitely noticed the walnuts. The peach flavour was good. Luckily ours was free. I’m not sure if I would buy it. My daughter rates it a 9/10. I give it an 8/10.
Really didn’t notice any walnuts. I much prefer the Maple walnut and will wait for that to return.
