Customers beg Aldi to bring back discontinued fan favorite as store confirms they 'have no return da
ALDI customers have been begging the discount retailer to bring back a beloved bakery favorite, but Aldi has so far ignored pleas for the item to return.
Aldi is a go-to spot for high quality foods at affordable prices, but occasionally the retailer discontinues even some of its most popular items.
The bargain retailer’s Croissant Buns are one such item that shoppers are desperate to get back.
The buns made a perfect addition to any breakfast or lunch sandwich, but they were not built to last.
One shopper took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to inquire about the lost but not forgotten item.
“Can you provide an update on your croissant buns?” the shopper wrote on the platform.

“It's been months without them, and we're beginning to think they're gone for good. Please tell me they will return to our store shelves.”
In response, Aldi said:
“The croissant buns were an ALDI Find item. At this time, we have no return date to share.”
Aldi Find items are seasonal and constantly rotating products that the store offers at discounted prices.

Other shoppers have also been shocked to find the fan favorite croissant buns missing in stores in recent months.
“I haven't been able to find croissant buns in my local NJ store. Are they missing from yours too?” a Reddit user wrote a month ago.
Several shoppers confirmed the buns were gone in their local stores as well as a result of being a temporary Aldi Finds item.
“They've been gone in Albany, NY area for a few weeks. I check both stores near me weekly. I'm heartbroken. This is my favorite thing ever,” another shopper said.
The product’s departure doesn’t mean customers didn’t adore them while they lasted.
“They are so good! I like to toast them then stuff a piece of dark chocolate in the middle to melt,” one fan wrote.
Another said: “These make amazing ham, egg, and cheese sandwiches for breakfast.”
MORE ALDI NEWS
The discount grocery chain has come under fire after disappointing fans of several other products at its stores in recent months.
One fan asked on X: "Will Bake House Salted Caramel chocolate chips cookies be back this year???"
Aldi confirmed the disappointing news shortly after.
"It doesn't look like the Bake House will be available, but we will have salted caramel cookies under another brand," Aldi confirmed.
While Aldi didn’t technically discontinue its Moster Roth dark chocolate bar with 70 percent cocoa, shoppers have also been complaining about the lack of availability.
A shopper inquired about the item on X, and Aldi responded:
"It doesn't look like it's been fully discontinued, but there is an update in progress that seems to be affecting the availability," the chain said.
"The case mix is being updated to include more options. Hopefully, you'll see it back in stores for you soon!"
However, shoppers were pleasantly surprised when Aldi announced its popular Mama Cozzi breakfast pizza would return to stores this season.
The take and bake option was the Biscuit Crust Sausage and Cheese breakfast pizza, available at just under $5.
Each pizza featured eggs, sausage, and a biscuit crust, making it a unique and hearty meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
“It’s light and flaky like a biscuit with a buttery flavor,” one shopper said on the Aldi website Aisle of Shame.

Another Aldi fan shared their top seasonal finds, and they start at just $1.99.
