When it comes to Aldi's bakery aisle, the possibilities feel endless. From the sweet and flaky chocolate croissants to the hazelnut-filled crepes and mini eclairs, your sweet tooth is calling. But there's one Aldi bakery item that made the list of Aldi products consumers feel flew under the radar in 2025: brioche buns. In a Reddit thread asking for consumers' most underrated finds, one user brought up the buns, and a slew of commenters agreed. "The sesame seed brioche buns are amazing, if they ever stop making them, I'll cry," one user wrote. Another user recalled stumbling upon the brioche only because the store was out of other bread options, saying, "Best decision ever, perfect, delicious."
Not only did customers say how great the bread was, but they also shared the different dishes they used the brioche for. Some favorites included a classic burger, grilled cheese, French toast, and even homemade croutons, proving just how versatile the bakery favorite is, making it one of the best breads you can buy at Aldi.
Consumers say Aldi's brioche buns taste exceptional, but the packaging could use some work
The brioche buns, which were one of the best Aldi finds that hit shelves in June 2025, are priced at $3.99 per six-pack, coming to 67 cents per bun, which is quite the steal given fans' rave reviews. Brioche is made with eggs and butter, which helps to elevate it over your average bun.
The only downside? How easily the bag rips. One customer took to Reddit with a thread titled, "Does anyone know why brioche buns come in these horrible plastic bags that rip up the side too easily?" Fellow users said that even though it hasn't happened to them, the bag does feel a lot thinner than other bread brands' bags. While it isn't the ultimate deal-breaker, it can cause your bread to spoil and harden quicker — without you realizing there's a problem.
They advise storing your buns in zip-close bags to avoid any tears. You can also buy reusable beeswax-lined bread bags on Amazon for a more eco-friendly option. Keep in mind that the buns will remain fresh for up to five days at room temperature while in airtight bags/containers. Although storing them in the fridge will cause them to harden and get stale quickly, if you want your brioche buns to last longer, you can use freezer-safe zip-close bags to freeze your buns for up to three months. Despite the flimsy packaging, Aldi's brioche buns are still a budget-friendly bakery find that is worth adding to your cart on your next trip.
