Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks Review

Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks in package

Hellooooooo, carb lovers! 


Maybe we spent too much time at the Olive Garden as teenagers, but we cannot resist a breadstick. (Do you call them breadsticks or bread sticks? Trader Joe's uses two words.)


Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks, close up

You'll find Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks in the store's fresh bread/bakery section. They're not frozen or refrigerated but come in a vacuum-sealed package. They cost $3.99.

I actually served these at a dinner party BEFORE trying them. I knew I'd have my hands full with the entree and side dish, but I still wanted to serve bread. The short bake/warm time on these convinced me they'd be worth the risk of not trying first! (So brave!) 


Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks, baking instructions

Each package contains 8 breadsticks, which are pre-baked and must be baked/warmed before serving. We found the 3 to 5 minutes suggested to be perfect for heating, whether we baked them on a cookie sheet or placed them directly on the oven racks.

Trader Joe's Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks Review


She says (Bridget): SO GOOD when warm from the oven! The cheese on the outside of the breadsticks crisps up, making these hard to resist scarfing down. Outside, they are super flavorful with a combination of cheese and seasonings. The interior is soft and fluffy. Once cooled, they're a little less spectacular. I wish the cheese and seasonings had been kneaded into the dough as well. Overall, they're handy to heat up quickly when you're busy with other cooking/meal prep. 
Overall rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

He says (Mark): Easy, cheesy! The flavor, especially right out of the oven, was well-balanced, with just the right amount of cheese on top. By the way, if you have leftovers, reheat the day after in a 350 oven for about 3-4 minutes (just on the rack, no baking sheet needed). The size is just right. I like how I can prop one up on the side of a wide salad bowl. This is a winner, whether solo or with dinner.
Overall rating: 4 out of 5 stars


You could serve these alongside other Trader Joe's offerings like Chicken Meatballs, gnocchi, or vegan pepperoni

  4. We tried these once, they were just ok because they had cooled down. I guess we should have read your review and suggestion about only eating them heated.
