Costco's Shortage of This Beloved Frozen Treat Is Over
In case you haven't heard, there's a major shortage of Boba Tea across the country, and it's not only affecting restaurants but grocery stores like Costco as well. The warehouse chain has a frozen version of the treat, The Brown Sugar Boba Ice Milk Bar, that's been sold out for a while… but it's finally been spotted again by some laser-focused shoppers!
Reddit user @s_howl said they found them in the Kirkland, Wash. location (also known as the former Costco headquarters), while, others say they've seen them in areas of Washington, Utah, Georgia, Minnesota, California, and Oregon.

The Brown Sugar Boba Ice Milk Bars, which come in a pack of 12 and cost about $13.99, aren't a new product. For those who have tried the frozen treat, some say they're fans of its taste (like pancakes and syrup), while others aren't. Considering there's a nationwide Boba shortage, though, the treats are certainly a hot button item.
The tapioca Boba balls (and the tapioca starch they are made with) that are the main ingredient of Boba Tea are hard to find right now thanks to a shipping block on the West Coast. Retailers have been preparing customers for the shortage for weeks, but that hasn't done much to soften the disappointment. Although the Costco Brown Sugar Boba Ice Milk Bars are in frozen form, they may help hold you over until the shortage is gone. They aren't available on Costco's website, so you'll have to head to your local warehouse to find them.
