Renton-based Boon Boona Coffee is headed to Costco.
The East African coffee roaster has landed a deal to sell its Bereka Blend in eight Puget Sound warehouses.
According to The Puget Sound Business Journal, Boon Boona already sells in about 150 regional grocery stores and recently won a bid to open a cafe at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
The coffee will be sold in two-pound bags in Costcos located in Seattle, Tukwila, Kirkland, Shoreline, Issaquah, Covington, Lynnwood, and Redmond.
“Getting into Costco is very competitive, and it’s an opportunity that we’re not taking for granted,” Boon Boona Coffee CEO and founder Efrem Fesaha told The Puget Sound Business Journal.
Costco ran in-store demo trials carrying samples of Boon Boona Coffee for most of 2026 before completing the deal.
Boon Boona Coffee also has five locations across the Seattle area, including one in Pike Place Market.
Costco brings back beloved food court item for first time since 2024
Costco is bringing churros back to its food courts.
Churros will return to every U.S. location for a limited time. Costco’s chief financial officer, Gary Millerchip, confirmed the news during an earnings call.
“For a limited time, the food court churro will be returning to all our U.S. locations starting this month,” Millerchip said, according to The Tacoma News Tribune.
For just $1.49 per churro, customers can enjoy a foot-long churro coated in cinnamon sugar. Churros haven’t been available in Costco food courts since 2024.
Costco’s food courts generate an estimated $1 billion in gross annual revenue across its global warehouses, but they earn virtually zero net profit. Instead, they’re part of the company’s loss-leader strategy, maintaining memberships by creating excitement around bulk shopping.
It is unclear how long churro will be on menus, as of this reporting.
