"With many beloved items to choose from, there are a number that have left the menu, causing distress to fervent fans. The açai bowl was a West Coast favorite, appearing around 2018, leading some to argue why Costco is "just better in California." However, its disappearance from the food court menu sometime around the COVID-19 pandemic has caused quite a stir."
"A typical açai bowl is made with a base of pureed açai berries and other complementary fruits with such toppings as cut fruits, yogurt, chia seeds, nuts, and even vegetables. Of the Costco items you'd only find in certain states (until they were discontinued), açai bowls were primarily available in California, with some presence in other West Coast locations like Seattle, Washington."
Costco's food court became widely known for inexpensive, popular items like pizza, hot dogs, and specialty snacks. Açai bowls appeared around 2018 as a West Coast offering, primarily in California and some Seattle locations. The Costco version combined a frozen açai base with dried, fresh, and frozen fruits plus Kirkland Signature granola and totaled about 330 calories. The bowl's roughly five-dollar price offered notable value despite occasional polarization among customers. The item was quietly discontinued sometime around the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving many fans disappointed. Homemade copycat versions can be made easily and customized with preferred fruits and toppings.
