Very clean 👍. Very busy on weekends. I like the selection here as well.Upvote16Downvote
I like this location the best even though there is one closer to me. Nicely organized.Upvote13Downvote
Go early. Don't bother around noon or mid afternoon on weekends. It's crazy! Same applies for the gas station.Upvote16Downvote
Josh LehanJanuary 6, 2015Blindly turn south on Brokaw before you see the Costco, then take unmarked alley just before FedEx entrance. By the time you see Costco on Coleman you are too late and have passed it!Upvote1Downvote
Good inexpensive quick bite for lunch - slice of pizza, hotdogs, did I mention cheap & good? Sure I did!Upvote5Downvote
Get the USDA Prime beef. It's amazeballs and priced great. It's like eating butter made out of meat. ;-) Look for the blue foam trays.Upvote4Downvote
Turn your barcodes up so they can scan you faster and get you out!Upvote6Downvote
Friendly, considerate staff handles crowds efficiently. Great deals.UpvoteDownvote
Katie YamadaJuly 27, 2015Kind of hard to get into and find parking, don't come during peak hours but Costco is awesomeUpvoteDownvote
Victor SolanoyFebruary 17, 2013Be careful. While other Costco's have a plethora of stupid people, this one is full of assholes as patrons. The staff as with all Costco's I've been to are wonderful. All you assholes need to chill...Upvote1Downvote
Dominic RiosJuly 28, 2013Best sample selection is on Sunday mornings between 10AM-12PM.Upvote3Downvote
Ryan KingslandNovember 23, 2015Go there with the intention of spending 50 bucks, but leave having spent 300. Two weeks later throw out half of what you bought because it went bad. Repeat.UpvoteDownvote
This Costco is great midweek. Short lines and clear aislesUpvote1Downvote
Have to shop here on the weekend? Before 10:30am on a Saturday is betterUpvoteDownvote

Not a fan of the wine snob employee hovering around the liquor aisle. I will pick my own thank you very much.Upvote1Downvote
Ruben LunaMarch 9, 2014Pick up a package of the Mexican Coke!! Made with real sugar cane!Upvote2Downvote
They stopped selling the hand-dipped ice creams. D:Upvote1Downvote
Gas lines are mad long now that prices r even higher. Lines r shorter an 30 min before pumps close (ps pumps r open one hour after coscto closes) weekdays r better!Upvote1Downvote
Chitradip MandalMarch 27, 2011Cheapest gas.. Long lines. Go early in the morning (6AM) or late at night (9PM) to avoid the rush.Upvote2Downvote
If you get gas in the morning there's hardly any line and you can pull right up to the pump!Upvote2Downvote
Forget the checkout lines. The line to enter the parking lot is horrendous. People fail at the 4 way stop in the lotUpvote2Downvote
Is there some magical time when I can get gas without waiting in line? 2 years and I have yet to figure it out.Upvote2Downvote- Weekday late morning early afternoon you'll find shorter gas linesUpvote3Downvote
Worst churros ever!!! How do you make a bad churro?? These dry churro-shaped pieces of cardboard aren't even sweet. Bleh! Get the very berry sundae instead.Upvote1Downvote
Christin SanchezDecember 3, 2009go during the week only. the lines are insane on the weekends!!!Upvote1Downvote
Dear Costco, the smell from all the sample cooking is gross.Upvote1Downvote
Go to a different one. Check out clerk was rude, place was packed and they were out of a lot of stuff.Upvote1Downvote
Gas up @ any station, the long gas hoses will stretch no matter which side your gas cap is on.Upvote8Downvote
No samples when it's not busy. To deal with the crowd or not .... That is the questionUpvote1Downvote
Jesica McgeeJanuary 15, 2010I only like the slices of piZa in the food court not the hot dogs , they up set um stomachUpvote1Downvote

"Quiet shopping - only when SCU is out of session. A smaller stocked market leaning towards ready to eat meals, beer, liquor & tiny in store Starbucks. Shop at your own risk during the academic year."
