Costco is... Costco. This particular review is of their bakery cake selection. Its a really good deal for a lot of cake, but the selections have been narrowed versus what theyve done in the past. White cake with white frosting or chocolate cake with chocolate frosting - those are your choices. The patterns for decoration are also pretty limited. (See picture from 9/7/21) (Update: on the order form, there is an option for a graduation design where you can pick school colors. The design has a mortar board and plenty of room for a customized message. This is what we needed for our recent celebration, and it actually worked out really well. I bumped up the review from three stars to four based on our experience.)On the upside, they have rapid turnaround times; theyre only asking for a day to get you have a giant cake ready for you with customized writing. And the cake is good quality, but not high-end bakery quality, but neither are the prices.

Just like store #1 where I usually go. Same great selection of special offers, same selection of regular offers. Friendly staff too!

Very well stocked, busy store. Parking lot is adequate, but may need to walk a distance on busier days. Lots to choose from, aisles are wide, employees friendly and helpful. Self check out is nice option when you only have a few items.

I really appreciate Costcos large quantities of items to choose from. Its very frustrating, however, to look for the white vinegar 1- gallon jugs, and theyre completely out of stock (not just relocated in store)! Its a cleaning staple in my house, and Ill buy 4-5 gallons at a time. Is there a better day of the week (than Thursday) to shop for it??? Thanks.

I often feel like Im doing Costco wrong because everyone else walks out with overflowing carts, and I walk out with 2 items. Today, we found beautiful flowers and the Girl Scout Thin Mint Almonds I wanted to share with my father-in-law. Whether youre getting a lot or a little, youll probably find it at Costco.

The Happiest Place on Earth. . . Wait!!! thats Disneyland.Costco, some of the best customer services, smiling and helpful. Yes Will, you made the cut. They are some rascals as well, and you are welcome to put them in their place.

Great products..great customer service. Great place to stock up for camping trip

Review for Food Court.Great speedy service! I got lucky and got my order taken by Rebecca! Shes a costco vet! Been there since 2007! Shes super nice and always in work mode and helping multiple people at the same time.

Costco here is the same as they are on the east coast, which is a good thing. Buck 50 for a hot dog bigger then you can handle. 5 bucks for a rotisserie chicken thatll feed all your kids and then some. What more could you ask for. 10/10 in-store samplers is my rating

Bought last Instant Pot. Got it to Air B&B 27 miles away. Huge dent in the side. On closer inspection looked like it had been opened and put back. Rough looking COSTCO to be frank.

The Goleta Costco is typical of this big box warehouse. They have an outdoor food courtyard ($1.50 hotdogs) and tire center but no gas station. They sell a wide variety of goods and offer a number services The prices are good and seasonal merchandise is displayed prominently near the front entrance. They have a great selection of wines and liquor at very reasonable prices. There is an in-house bakery offering a large selection of breads, pies and pastries. If you find something you like get it because it may be gone when you check back. Of course they sell the famous Costco cooked whole chicken.

Glad to see snack areas back! Not a member but friend brought me on her card. I bought a few things. Very fun. Some things seemed pricey but found some good deals!

Always have good things to say about Costcos good food good prices I just dont like to walk that far but everything else is great

Costco will never disappoint if you already know what you want and many times even when you dont. Ofcourse you always come out poorer since you end up buying even what you dont really need

BEWARE OF AN EMPLOYEE NAMED CYNDIE OR THEY WILL ASK YOU IF YOU UNDERSTAND ENGLISH VERY WELL IN THE RUDEST MANNER. My relatives and I have been shopping here for years. We always had a pleasant experience until this week. My mom speaks English fluently and just couldn’t hear them while on the register. She never spoke a word and is wearing a mask, so did they just assume she could not comprehend English because of her eyes or what?

Busy place bot great service. Mask up and spend a couple hundred big ones on stuff you need and stuff you just want!

Excellent service and good prices on almost everything! It does not have a gas station, though, one of my favorite Costco amenities.

Great experience here! Super friendly staff and a great selection. I have been here a couple of times and I plan to continue shopping here. The location is great as there are lots of shops in the area. It makes it easy to do all of your shopping at once without having to drive around.

Always great deals. Purchased my tires from Costco less than two years ago and picked up a nail in one which they plugged for free.

Came here to order a cake. Good service and the cake turned out wonderful!

Great optometry services, everybody was very professional, helpful, and friendly. Totally recommend, as all their employees are excellent and turned a dull errand into a fun experience. Thank you, especially to Jo from the optometry section!

There is plenty of parking, the shopping carts are cleaned and they have cart wipes at the entrance. The place is not messy it is clean, and there is plenty of room to walk. The food court was remodel and it has plenty sitting. Customer service is a hit and miss.

Like this costco. People are nice and store is always easy to get around and dind items

National big box bulk retailer selling everything the consumer wants or needs even if they dont know it until they see it on the shelf. Wide aisles and plenty of samples to keep your energy up until you finally find your way to the exit.

The food court is AMAZING & REALLY AFFORDABLE!!! Especially for a family. I also recently learned from a Costco employee that if you cant afford a monthly membership just buy a giftcard and you can go in and shop and avoid the monthly membership!!!!

I purchased a battery for my Taxoma, I saved about 75 bonz compared to local auto part stores.

Was not too crowded when I went at 4pm. Was in and out of there in 20 mins.

Love this place. They even have some good vegan things now.

Im curious on what people comment about Costco anymore. Because obviously its been around for awhile and I guess people talk about the individual stores, but if Im honest, and someone transported me to a completely different Costco in the middle of my shopping experience I wouldnt know. But this Costco, they have something special...

Great selectionReasonable prices. Ample free parking.Should put gas station in.

Quick service 🙂

Costco prices are a scream for joy.No gas at this location.$60 membship feels payed for itself in only a few ruiteen visits. By intelligently just because its all a good deal doesnt mean you can handle it all.

Got a gift card went to use it in the end met with a lot of guff told I had to spend my card their way not cool thats why I hate this place. Sorry COSTCO you dropped the ball!!!! OHHHH also pressured into getting membership. JOIYCE to happy to get me in as a member wayyyyyyy tooooo?

Very well run location, every thing very well organized, very helpful staff. Id like to point out a super awesome employee. His name is Micha, super positive person,its very apperant he loves his job and loves helping others. Thank you for what you do!

As always, good prices! But of course also as always, there is no way to find a product except by wandering up and down the long aisles! I know this is intentional to make shoppers buy things on the spur of the moment! BUT it sure would be nice if there were a store guide!

Staff very helpful in locating item I was looking for.

Beautiful store, very clean. Small meat department.

Always good deals! Lately staff and customer service in general have been lacking.

Standard, but especially good wine and meat depts.

It can get quite busy so Id highly recommend self checkout if you can do it (no alcohol or heavy items).

No water... is there a crisis coming up?

Love Costco! I wish this one had a gas station.

Gotta love the prices on bulk items

Its everything you like about Costco and in a newer store that is attractive in a beautiful area. I so wish my local Costco was like this one!

Membership to use the food court now at this location? Made me walk back to my car charging a bit away to grab membership so I could grab a hotdog after waiting in a massive line. I was in the middle of conversation with the worker when she yelled next & completely disregarded & degraded me like I was an insect because I didnt have my membership on me.I will not be renewing my membership and am an active agent against Costco, and will be boycotting them as long as this policy is in place. Food court has gone down hill, and they used people suffering & dying from Covid as an opportunist excuse to eliminate most of the menu to make more $. Chicken bakes are terrible now and you cant even get onions on hotdogs anymore.

Go there to buy tires, household stuff like paper products, cheeses, wines, stuff a big box store has to buy in bulk. Good prices on clothing too.

Nice shopping place. Poor customer service

They need to do something about line management so it stops clogging the rightmost isle. Other than that its a great experience. Massive cheesecake for $15? Youd expect it to not be great, but it was one of the best cheesecakes Ive eaten. 8/10. Checkout has issues with line logistics but the staff does well by scanning the next person in line before the first person has left, so this improves things a lot.

Great selection, quality products & amazing customer service.. great savings as well.

Nice goods. Like costco

I mean its Costco, whats wrong about this place?

Love coming here just never come during the weekend, everyone crowds on the weekend (it is hell)

Great staff! Always the best service. Yes, Costco rearranges stock constantly...it is always a treasure hunt. Cant find something this week? Ask Jimmy or Chalmers or Meredith, if they dont know they WILL find out.

Always a good spot to fill the tank

I come to eat at Costco every other day with my housemate after shopping and the experience is usually the same. But today I saw an employee who was working harder than any worker we have seen here before. That is not to take away from the credit of other employees, but simply to emphasize how impressed we are by his work-ethic. Absolutely EVERY table was spotless, and the moment someone left a table he made sure the table was cleaned and polished for the next customer; if anything got on the floor, he quickly swept it up; if a condiment was getting low, he filled it fast and sparkled the area. He had a good attitude, strong work-ethic, and an apparent genuine concern for the wellbeing and experience of the customer - a rare combination in any employee today. I believe he deserves to be recognized. Thank you, Jason. We saw your qualities today.

Ive always loved Costco. I belong since the early 90s in Oregon. Although theyre a little limited in variety there is still definitely enough variety for most people.I like to buy in bulk when I can, as long as I have space for it. The only thing I never really like is when they start moving things around. I really dont like when they move things around and sometimes I have very specific things I need to get and I dont have much time to do it.Their return policy is still among the best. Sometimes you have to be a little careful with their electronics because it may not be the current model.I also get the impression that they treat their employees well as I see a lot of the same faces year after year.

Amazing shop for camping, food and lectronic

Staff was very helpful if you are a out of towner or local lots of Booze etc.

The store is clean and orderly. It was busier on a Sunday but no line to get in. All the employees are extremely helpful even if they are busy. A rotisserie chicken was $4.99. A Minnie Mouse coat reversible with soft pink fur for $19.99. A Minnie sweatshirt and t-shirt for $14.99. I got womens Puma tennis shoes with memory foam $24.99. Skechers on sale too. A lot of excellent deals. I am so happy with my purchase.

Good prices. Helpful staff

Offered most, if not all, kinds of daily necessities. The Goleta location is a favorite in Santa Barbara for the local residents and UCSB students. Iconic meal with a soda and choice of meat in the loooooong hot dog is a super bargain. Or, top it with other menu items, OR, just go in and taste testing all kinds of food promotions......it can be so filling that one can skip a meal! Self check out in here!!!

Always love going to Costco. Different locations with different products. Easy Parking. Always nice employees

Outdoor dining with churros again!

Oh my gosh! It was so beyond packed! Although my cashier was very quick

I love everything about this Costco. I would never recommend going to the Oxnard Costco EVER!!

Always well stocked, friendly service

One of the best floor plans in Costco buildings, with a very efficient check out.

John the cashier a very rude employee. I was choking while drinking water and started to cough and this guys told me that he didnt want any coughing customer in his cashier lane

Sunday before Labor day holiday, alottle crazy there. The staff inside the warehouse are always nice and friendly, but the tire station staff alittle rude or may be the hit made them moody, I dont know. I always love costco and their customer service.

Only store in sb that has Kirkland signature food.

Rep at store helped me to make purchases when I firgot my membership card. He found my membership info using my drivers license. Excellent customer service!Thank you.

Good deals, great service,

Yeeeep, just as nice and clean as any other costco

Well stocked store!!

Always, a very good experience at this Location in Goleta. The Staff is always very helpful.

Out favorite place to shop. Costco always provides quality goods.

Its at Costco so you know whats going on. Dont worry about not knowing where to find stuff

Clean, well run and always well stocked

Favorite place to buy food. #TheKingofGSW #GoArmy

Spoiler Alert: Costco has them deals! 💰There are few places in this world that bring this much joy to my heart. How can something of this magnitude of greatness exist and not be considered a national treasure. Nik Cage cant even get on this level. Question: If Goleta didnt have Costco, is there even Goleta? Discuss.

I found great things in costco every thing I need happy holidays

No gas station, this is not a real costco. also very claustrophobic compared to other costos near LA.

I havent been in a lot of Costcos but this one here is great! Its the main store I shop in of all the stores in Santa Barbara.

Great wine sales going on now.

Not all the things we like were there... no falafels...no sweet corn and no outshine popcycles

I find what I need good prices

Its costco nuff said.

They have all the best stuff with great return policy. Good adaptations to CoVID-19 virus have been implemented

Honestly I am so amazed with their customer service and friendly manner through the phone to get the business done.I purchased an item and they shipped it to me from their Costco warehouse store to my place in San Diego and it was very convenience service.I admire their customer service above and beyond what I thought.Also very blessed receiving calls from Josh Trainor personally the Assistant General Manager following up with me and to inform me about the tracking number of my purchase and the delivery time in a nice respectful manner. So thank you.Thank you so much everyone and big thank you to Eddie Razo the Receiving Manager and Costello, and their store stuff for the Great experience.

I don’t have a single complaint about this place! I started shopping late here but since I did, I never looked back! Costco price and the guarantee they provide for all the merchandises is unbeatable.

Costco is a great place to shop, but you must be a member.The food emporium however is available for everyone. The prices are very reasonable. Tips are not accepted.Costco has a reputation for treating workers with fair wages and equitable treatment.Membership is not very expensive. Good place to buy large quantities of items.

Normally the workers do everything well...but they need to social distance better.

Nice folks work there. No lines!

Love me some Costco!

Today I stopped in, and clumsy me, when I was loading my car up, dropped a bottle. I went in to tell them about the glass, and I was gently directed to a supervisor who assisted me in getting a replacement. This wasnt necessary, and the crew this evening was kind, quick, and understanding. Thanks for caring about your customers, and for your patience.

Some items are very good price, while other items are more expensive. I wish the store have some smaller food, meat, seafood, packages instead of big one. For some of small family like us(2 people), we wasted more food everytime we bought at Costco rather than saving money.money.Be aware of wild fish, I got worms in the flesh of wild fish fillet, which scared me to death. I dumped the whole package into a trash can without a second to think about return👎😳😱😨

Compassionate care

Cant go wrong here

Clean, organized, just like any other Costco. Workers were helpful.

Great place to shop. Opens at 9am for Seniors.
