The 5 Best Aldi Breakfast Items Of 2026 (So Far)

If you're a breakfast lover who has fun trying different breakfast products, especially at an affordable price, then you should be shopping at Aldi (if you aren't already). Aldi offers a wide range of breakfast options and continues to update its selection throughout the year, either bringing in brand new products or bringing back fan-favorite returning items. There are so many breakfast items to choose from, we've already made lists such as the best breakfast finds at Aldi, according to customers and a ranking of some of the frozen breakfast items.

But if you're curious about the more recent Aldi breakfast items — specifically from this year — then you'll want to read on. We've put together this list of some of the best breakfast finds that Aldi has offered this year, all of which are loved by shoppers. Many of these products are returning, so you may have seen them at Aldi before and, if you didn't get a chance to try them before, now is your chance. Of course, the year isn't over yet, so there may also be more delicious breakfast finds to come — and we'll certainly be keeping an eye out for those, too. But in the meantime, be sure to look out for these the next time you're at Aldi — you may just find your new go-to when it comes to the first meal of the day.

Firstly, we have a must-try for waffle lovers: the Breakfast Best Stuffed Waffles. This filling breakfast, which hit Aldi shelves in February, takes waffles to the next level. If you want to stick to all sweet flavors, there are two yummy options for you: the blueberry filling in a buttery brioche waffle or the apple cinnamon filling in a cinnamon brioche waffle. But if you're someone who has a hard time deciding between a sweet or a savory breakfast, try the third option: a maple brioche waffle that has been stuffed with chicken sausage, egg, and reduced fat cheddar. Whichever flavor you go with, try adding extra maple syrup to make it even more decadent. Or, with the sausage-egg-cheese option, maybe you want to make it a bit more savory by dipping it in something like spicy mayo.

As for what Aldi shoppers think of this product, it's certainly made a wave on Reddit. In one thread, someone posted a photo of the box and wrote, "Delicious 10/10 recommend!" In the comments, one person wrote, "I love them in the air fryer! Stock up whenever I see them." Another commenter noted that they're filling and felt like a complete breakfast all on its own. And one commenter added, "So good. Bought one of each flavor." While there are some commenters who weren't as big of a fan, there are definitely enough positive reviews that it's worth a try.

Who says you can't have pizza for breakfast? While a breakfast pizza can be fun to make from scratch at home (such as our sunny side breakfast pizza), if you want a faster option for this specific breakfast, then buy Mama Cozzi's Biscuit Crust Sausage Pizza, a returning product that came back in March. It consists of a biscuit crust and country style gravy as the sauce, as well as breakfast sausage, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. It's hearty, savory, and tasty — and the perfect concoction of breakfast foods as a pizza. 

This is another product that fans love, as evidenced by several Reddit threads. One Aldi shopper started a Reddit thread about the product, writing, "This pizza is fantastic! Super flavorful." Meanwhile, in another thread about it, one person declared it "a really excellent pizza." And another person had a tasty suggestion of how to serve it, writing, "We make a bunch of over easy eggs and put one on each slice. The drippy yolk really adds to the flavor." One Reddit original poster said they added scrambled eggs and onion to it, for another upgrade idea. But of course, this pizza is delicious all on its own, so even on the laziest mornings, you can just pop this in the oven and, before you know it, you have a satisfying and tasty breakfast ready to be enjoyed.

If you like bite-sized foods and you also love all things breakfast, then this next product may be tailor-made for you. It's the breakfast meatballs from Breakfast Best at Aldi, which returned to the discount grocery chain in April. There are two tasty flavors to choose from (or, you could always buy both). Firstly, there's the pork-based meatballs with a French toast flavor — so you can expect that irresistible sweet-savory combination that we know and love. The other flavor keeps it savory, consisting of bacon, egg, and cheese all wrapped up in the meatball.

On Reddit, one Aldi shopper posted a photo of the savory option, deemed them a 10/10, and wrote, "The serving size is 6 meatballs but I honestly believe I can eat the whole bag." In the comments, someone declared, "These are my absolute favorite." Another commenter added, "They're even good from the microwave. I like to wrap them up in a keto wrap that I've toasted with cheese." You can take that Redditor's suggestion or you can simply enjoy them on their own for a quick breakfast — or pair them with a couple classic breakfast picks, like eggs and bacon. 

Here's a scrumptious breakfast product for you to look out for in the fall months: the Breakfast Best Pumpkin Spice Waffles. These waffles, which returned to Aldi in August of this year, are hard to pass up, especially for those who revel in all of the pumpkin-flavored foods that pop up in time for autumn. These waffles are the perfect way to start your morning with a burst of warm, pumpkin flavor — maybe even alongside a pumpkin spice latte, to really bask in pumpkin season.

Aldi shoppers love this product, with many posting on Reddit about their thoughts. One original poster started a Reddit thread, writing, "I just have to chime in about my obsession. These are FANTASTIC and my whole kitchen smells like pumpkin after toasting them ... I just grabbed my third box at Aldi last night!" In the comments, one person enthusiastically added, "I love these! The kitchen smells AMAZING after toasting them and they aren't very sweet. You can easily add maple syrup if you want more sweetness but we love them with just butter!" There are plenty of other suggestions on how to serve these waffles in the comments, too. One person enjoys them with cream cheese and cinnamon, while another person tops them with apple butter. Another Aldi shopper goes all in on the sweetness, adding chocolate chips and syrup. Waffles that taste delicious and make the kitchen smell amazing — what more could you ask for? 

Finally, we have one non-frozen breakfast item that is just as attention-worthy: the Croissant Buns from Specially Selected, a returning item that popped back up at Aldi in May. Basically, it's a buttery, flaky croissant in the form of a bun, so you can use it for things such as breakfast sandwiches. You can start with something simple like egg, bacon, and cheese. Or, try something a little fancier, like using prosciutto as the meat of choice. Whatever you decide to go with, just know that these croissant buns are beloved amongst Aldi fans.

On Reddit, one Aldi shopper posted a photo of the buns and wrote, "I got the Croissant Buns for the first time last week and was immediately obsessed." In another thread, a Redditor posted photos of the breakfast sandwich they made with the buns, writing, "Croissant Buns are back! Worth every calorie." In the comments, someone suggested another way to use these for the perfect sandwich, writing, "[An] over medium egg, a nice slice of cheese and these buns I think would be heavenly!" There's also a whole thread of Aldi fans discussing when the buns will be available again, so it's safe to say that this is quite the popular breakfast item.
