Sam’s Club may get plenty of hype for its family-sized and nicely affordable rotisserie chicken — which is, after all, a fair competitor to Costco’s very own. But if you haven’t been stopping by the bakery section inside your local warehouse, I’m here to tell you that you’ve absolutely been missing out.

This year, Sam’s Club has introduced some fresh takes on classic baked treats and brand-new items, including a Chocolate Silk Pie and a Cookie Lovers’ Cake Duo featuring two cookie-inspired cakes. But there are also a number of staple items that have been consistent stars within the Sam’s Club bakery. So, I’ve rounded up the best items that have appeared on the shelves of Sam’s Club’s bakery so far in 2026.
Sweet Fruit Topped Vanilla Chantilly Cream Bar Cake
The Sweet Fruit Topped Vanilla Chantilly Cream Bar Cake isn’t new to Sam’s Club; it’s been a staple in the bakery for some time now. It’s a year-round staple in my house and for plenty of other shoppers because it’s simply one of the best vanilla cakes you can purchase.
Priced at $17.98 for a cake that’ll feed eight to 10 people, this is the one dessert I recommend everyone buy at least once from Sam’s Club. It’s wonderfully moist and perfectly balanced in its vanilla flavor, with a touch of lightly-sweetened Chantilly cream in between the layers of cake. It’s finished off with a mix of fresh fruit, and it tastes so much more special than your typical cake.
Tiramisu Cake
Prefer your desserts rich and creamy instead? Then you’re going to need to add the Tiramisu Cake to your cart the next time you hit up Sam’s Club. This 2-pound cake, which sells for $14.98, can feed up to eight — but trust me, you won’t want to share it.
Featuring classic tiramisu ingredients like smooth and creamy mascarpone cheese, light layers of cake, and plenty of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, it’s impressively rich-tasting and well-balanced. My favorite touch is the fluffy mascarpone topping, which is so much better than your average cake frosting.
4” Assorted Mini Pies
I’m not even a pie person, but my favorite new bakery arrival at Sam’s Club this year has been the 4” Assorted Mini Pies. Each package contains six little pint-sized pies, perfect for eating as individual servings of dessert, for $10.74. These pies are baked fresh in-club every day, and even though I don’t love traditional pies these are a can’t-miss buy.
Each miniature pie features a wonderfully buttery graham cracker crust, which is far better than your average pie crust (at least in my opinion). The flavors have changed seasonally throughout 2026, and right now you can pick up a mix of two French silk, two chocolate peanut butter, and two cherry-topped vanilla bean pies. My personal favorite, however, was summer’s key lime pie.
Key Lime Pie
Speaking of those mini key lime pies, one of Sam’s Club best pies this year was a full-size Key Lime Pie that debuted back in March ahead of spring and summer’s warmer weather. It retailed for $9.98 per 10-inch pie, and it was a seasonal special made for relaxing on the porch during sunset (or digging into for lunch, if you’re me).
Sam’s Club really hit the nail on the head with this pie, honing that sweet but tart key lime filling perfectly. It was creamy and rich yet felt so summery, and I loved that it maintained some tartness even with a healthy dollop of whipped cream on each slice. And the crust? Well, it was oh-so-buttery and just what the lime-packed pie needed.
Double Chocolate Muffins
Ever since Costco changed up its muffins I’ve been looking for a replacement that’s worthy of being my new go-to breakfast. And this year, I found one: It’s the Double Chocolate Muffins from Sam’s Club. These muffins, which are priced at $6.82 for six extra-large (and perfectly moist, never dry, by the way) individual servings, are larger than your typical morning treat. And they’re so chocolatey in all of the best ways.
These Double Chocolate Muffins are so great that I’m not the only one who finds them comparable to the old Costco ones. Reddit users agrees, with the muffins even leading one commenter to say, “I shop at both Costco and Sam’s and aside from the croissants, I think the bakery at Sam’s is really superior.”
French Vanilla Pound Cake
If pound cake sounds absolutely boring, I’ve got news for you: The French Vanilla Pound Cake from Sam’s Club’s bakery will change your mind. Sure, it’s easy to overlook while you’re shopping. But that would be a mistake, because it’s one of the best items you can buy here. Each golden cake, which sells for $7.84, is dense and moist, yet not so cakey that it’ll leave you with a dry mouth.
Buttery and lightly touched with vanilla flavoring, this pound cake is exactly what you need when you want a dessert that’s simple yet classic. It isn’t overly sweet, but you’ll absolutely find yourself craving another bite. Oh, and it pairs nicely with any topping, from fresh berries and cream to thick frosting or even an evening coffee.
