Costco members debate quality of Cold Brew Mocha Freeze
A Reddit post titled “Is the Cold Brew the current worst Food Court item?” has garnered attention, with users sharing their opinions on this divisive beverage. The original poster expressed disappointment, stating, “I love coffee. Especially iced coffee. I’ve gotten it a couple times now. It tastes so burnt.”
Some comments agree that this food court offering isn’t up to par. One user reminisced about the previous version of the Cold Brew, expressing dissatisfaction with the changes made and the subsequent price hike. They lamented, “I loved, and was addicted to the previous version of this. Then, they changed it up (for the worse) and significantly increased the price. So, there went that.” Another commenter remarked, “Not too much of a fan of it. It tastes like a White Russian just without the alcohol.”
However, amidst the criticism, there were also positive reviews, with some users proclaiming their love for the Cold Brew and finding it quite tasty. One user simply stated, “I love them.”

In response to the criticism, one commenter speculated that inconsistencies in preparation might be to blame for the burnt flavor. They offered a glimmer of hope, saying, "This may just be someone new making the coffee or something. I only drink 3/4 a year, but I have never gotten one that tasted burnt before. Maybe wait a couple weeks and try again."
A few users also jumped in to nominate their own least favorite food court items as "the worst," including the mango smoothie and ever-controversial roast beef sandwich.
