Costco’s Sold-Out Ice Cream Sandwiches Are Back—With a New Strawberry Shortcake Flavor

Costco shoppers are celebrating the return of Nightingale Ice Cream Sandwiches, the viral frozen treat that sold out within days last year. This time, the brand is introducing a new Strawberry Shortcake flavor, featuring extra-rich strawberry ice cream sandwiched between buttery brown sugar cookies. The highly anticipated comeback is exclusive to Costco’s Northeast locations, with availability at 132+ stores from Virginia to Maine.

What Makes Them So Popular?

Nightingale’s ice cream sandwiches are known for their premium ingredients, including 14% butterfat ice cream and freshly baked cookies. The new Strawberry Shortcake variety delivers a sweet, creamy texture with a hint of crunch, making it a perfect summer indulgence.

Unlike the brand’s standard four-pack offerings, Costco is selling an exclusive 18-pack of “chomp-sized” mini sandwiches, giving fans more to enjoy at a bulk-friendly price.

Social Media Frenzy and Limited Availability

Fans are already flooding social media with excitement, tagging Costco in posts and requesting the sandwiches be stocked in West Coast locations. Given how quickly the Cookie Monster flavor sold out last year, shoppers are urged to grab a box before they disappear.

Will They Expand Nationwide?

While the Strawberry Shortcake sandwiches are currently limited to the Northeast, Costco has hinted that broader availability could be possible if demand remains high. Until then, fans outside the region will have to wait—or hope for a restock in their local stores.
