Best Aldi Products of 2025: The Two Groceries We Loved Most

The more we shop at Aldi, the more we grow to love its quirks. (Personally, I’ve gotten pretty good at finding an empty cardboard box to fill with groceries as I stroll the aisles—I refuse to carry a quarter with me in order to score a cart.) And while we’ve tasted plenty of excellent Aldi products over the years, two new (to us) Aldi products stood out as the best we had in all of 2025.

Runner-Up

Barissimo Midnight Blend Coffee

Aldi

In her ranking of all the Aldi coffee, Sporked’s Ariana Losch wrote that this ground coffee creates a cup of joe that is “roasty but super smooth, with notes of toasted nuts and tobacco.” Tobacco is a good thing in coffee-speak. I tried it too and can attest that this Aldi coffee punches above its weight. It’s surprisingly complex and tastes like it costs way more than it does.

Winner

Park Street Deli Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dessert Dip

Aldi

None of us expected to really like this Aldi dip, let alone love it. But that’s why we do what we do—we taste all the strange stuff in order to discover the diamonds in the rough or dips in the rough, in this case. This cookie dough dip—and it is a dip, it isn’t just edible cookie dough—is creamy, studded with tons of dark chocolate chips, and shockingly complex. You get sweetness, you get a little salt, you get some tang from the cream cheese base. It’s stupid good. And while we could finish a whole tub with a spoon alone, it would be amazing as a dip with graham crackers. As of this writing, it’s still available at Aldi so run and get it now. What are you doing sitting there? I said NOW!

About the Author

Hi! I’m the editor-in-chief of Sporked. I will never turn down a fresh-shucked oyster but I’ll also leap at whatever new product Reese’s releases and I love a Tostitos Hint of Lime, even if there is no actual lime in the ingredients. Why you should trust me: I have been writing about food and beverages for well over a decade and am an avid at-home cook and snacker. I began my career writing about fine dining and recipes, moved into cocktails and spirits, and now I talk about groceries. If you can eat it or drink it, I’ve probably written about it. What I buy every week: Trader Joe’s dried okra. Appleton Farms prosciutto from Aldi. Some sort of Trader Joe’s cheese (I’m into the aged gouda at the moment). Frozen waffles (usually the Eggo Cinnamon Toast Minis). Spindrift water (loving the Cosmopolitan right now). Favorite ranking: Smoked salmon. Imagine me as Scrooge McDuck but instead of coins I’m diving into a vault of slippery smoked salmon slices. Pure joy. I also found some real steals in that taste test! Least favorite ranking: Canned oysters. I had such high hopes for this but it quickly became a chore. The kitchen smelled like an uncleaned aquarium.
