Final Words
Acai Bowl at Costco Food Court is no longer available after the pandemic due to some major changes made in the Costco Food Court Menu due to the high preparation cost and growing people’s interest in other food court items.
Can’t say if it was a good decision or not, as people were keen to have this as compared to other similar items at the food court more often than not, but still didn’t make a huge impact as Costco added some special items in their food court menu which kept the customers interest high.
You can still try the Tattooed Chef Organic Acai Bowl, which is available in packs of 6 at $12.99 at the Costco store; it might not give you the same taste and pleasure, but it was enough for me to bring back the nostalgia of trying it for the first time at Costco Food Court.
