According to some shoppers, Costco’s attempt to replicate Starbucks' iteration was a complete success.
Several have already declared the Kirkland Signature egg bites an exact replica of the Starbucks bites.
“Kirkland Egg Bites are Starbucks,” one shopper asserted in a recent Reddit post.

“You won’t convince me otherwise.”
The importance of such a comparison?
Choose from Bacon & Gruyere, Egg White & Roasted Red Pepper, and Kale & Mushroom.

A two-count order of each flavor cost me $5.45, totaling $17.43 after tax.
The main difference is that Kirkland adds parmesan.
My biggest critique of all, however, has to do with the texture.

While the Starbucks bites were smooth and firm, the Kirkland bites were slightly wet and spongy.
Kirkland’s flavors are still enjoyable despite being weak, and the value is exceptional.
The Kirkland egg bites cost just about $2.40 per two-pack versus $5.45 for a two-pack at Starbucks.
