Spring has officially arrived! In addition to longer days, warmer weather, and gorgeous flowers popping up all around us, that also means there are tons of new and returning seasonal items to stock up on at Trader Joe’s. Whether you’re craving something sweet to snack on or you still need a nice soup to warm you from the inside out on the chillier days, TJ’s has you covered. Below, we’re rounding up a few of the best limited-time foods to keep an eye out for this Spring.
1. Hold the Cone Coffee Bean
The first item on our list can be found in the freezer section, and is a fresh take on a classic. The fan-favorite Hold The Cone that normally comes in vanilla and chocolate flavors now has a third sibling: Coffee Bean. Hold The Cones are the perfect sweet treat to close out the night with. Bite-sized ice cream cones coated in a layer of hard dark chocolate, these treats have only been elevated by the arrival of the new coffee-flavored ice cream.
2. Cinnamon Danish Twist Pastry
3. Thai Peanut Satay Sauce
We love the international fare at TJ's, and now there's a new sauce to look forward to. This peanut satay sauce is sourced in Thailand, blending flavors of coconut milk, peanuts, red curry paste, and delicious spices and seasonings that will take your taste buds to heaven. According to "Inside Trader Joe's" host and marketing executive Tara Miller, this is TJ's best take on peanut sauce yet. We can't wait to try!

4. Calabrian Chili Tomato Dumpling Soup
As much as we wish spring meant warm temperatures every day, that's not often the case. Sometimes, we still need something warm to ease the chill in the air, and the Trader Joe’s Calabrian Chili Tomato Dumpling Soup brings the perfect amount of heat. A creamy, tomato-y soup with bite-sized dumplings, this soup will thaw out any bad day. Serve it with the Trader Joe’s Garlic & Cheese Breadsticks for that extra comfort, and you’re all set for any last minute snow storms March may bring.

5. Lemon Mini Sheet Cakes
Make any day a celebration with these new Lemon-Flavored Mini Sheet Cakes! “Moist, flavorful lemon cake topped with lemon cream cheese frosting and sprinkled with lemon zest,” Trader Joe’s describes it as. If TJ’s does anything right, it’s a sweet treat, and this mini cake is no exception. And fans agree: “Omg this is so addicting,” one fan wrote in an Instagram comment.
“I remember this from last year, it’s absolutely heavenly,” said another. “Perfect amount of tart and sweet.”
6. Brown Sugar Boba Mochi
Love boba? Love mochi? You're in luck. This limited-edition snack takes a boba pearl and puts it inside delicious mochi dough, according to Miller. And with a brown sugar flavor, what more could you ask for in a sweet treat? Each one is individually wrapped for easy snacking—but let's be honest, that's not going to keep us from eating way too much.
7. Piquant Popcorn
Popcorn is one of our favorite snacks (and usually one of the healthiest), so we're especially excited that there are two new flavors to look out for at TJ's. In addition to Chocolate Drizzled Strawberry Kettle Corn that was perfect for Valentine's day, there's also Piquant Popcorn. This savory treat is simple but delicious. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, onion, sea salt, and garlic, it'll take your taste buds to heaven. This is a seriously munch-worthy snack that you'll want to add to your cart on your next Trader Joe's trip.
8. Glazed Chocolate Donut Holes
Who could possibly resist donuts (even if there are some health risks involved)? We love donut holes, in particular, which offer a bite-sized way to enjoy our favorite sugary treat. Trader Joe's has just recently added donuts to their repertoire, and these new Glazed Chocolate Donut Holes prove they've already nailed the recipe. Believe it or not, they're even gluten- and dairy-free—but they taste just like the donuts you know and love. One Instagram comment raved, "I can inhale those donut holes." Us, too!
9. Dulce de Leche Ice Cream
The flavor geniuses at Trader Joe's are always rolling out a delicious, creamy new ice cream. And this variety is one you'll definitely want to get your hands on this spring. It's pretty self-explanatory: perfect for Dulce de Leche lovers, it combines caramel ice cream with a dulce de leche swirl, and it should be popping up in freezer aisles near you very soon. Yum!
