When it comes to wholesale store food courts, Costco’s gets all the glory. But you shouldn’t sleep on Sam’s Club! Its café has many similar items to what’s on offer at Costco’s food court, including pizza, hot dogs, and frozen sweet treats, but according to our tasters, the items that shine at Sam’s Club are quite different from its counterpart.
We ranked every Sam’s Club food court item, worst to best, and what topped our list is the chocolate and vanilla swirl frozen yogurt. The chocolate by itself came in at sixth, and the vanilla was fifth on the list, so overall, Sam’s Club frozen yogurt is a quality product. But while our reviewer found the cocoa flavor overwhelming in the chocolate and the vanilla not flavorful enough, the mix of the two was a perfect blend. Not only did our taster find the swirl visually appealing, but they said, “The bluntness of the cocoa is subdued by the sweetness of the vanilla. And the vanilla flavor is not missed due to the intense flavor of the cocoa. It’s a win-win.”
It’s also hard to beat the low price. At $1 for a drink-sized cup of frozen yogurt — which, according to our reviewer, tastes just like ice cream — the Sam’s Club swirl froyo is well worth it. You could easily share the portion between two people, too, depending on your appetite. Not to mention, Costco’s food court offers ice cream, but Sam’s Club has high-quality frozen yogurt, making it the slightly healthier choice between the two.
Sam’s swirl is legendary for several reasons
One Sam’s Club member on Reddit had questions about the frozen yogurt because it is almost suspiciously delicious. We all know that icy froyo is depressing, and Sam’s Club froyo is anything but. “This tasted nothing like any other froyo I’ve ever had … (no yogurt tang, no weird, icy texture). This tasted like straight up soft serve ice cream,” they wrote. While some couldn’t get over the taste, TikToker iamjennchristian was floored by the price. “Trying to figure out how Sam’s Club has frozen yogurt for $1 while other frozen yogurt companies charge almost $1 per ounce,” a text overlay on her video reads.
There’s a lot to love about Sam’s Club frozen yogurt, and the chocolate vanilla swirl is a particular favorite among not only our taster but other customers, too. One clever TikToker even topped the chocolate vanilla froyo with a sample piece of pumpkin pie from the store. Stowing sweet samples to add to your frozen yogurt is a little bit genius, and we’re here for it. There have also been suggestions of ordering froyos with saucy berries, which is another great idea.
Sam’s Club froyo is a hit with adults and kids alike. In one TikTok video, a young reviewer called the vanilla “amazing” and gave it a “10 out of 10.” As for the chocolate, he said it was “really good” and gave it a 9.
