Beautifully Buttery Brioche Bread
Specially Selected Brioche is a light and slightly puffy bread with a beautifully dark, golden, and flaky crust. It's not really bread because it's not dense in either flavor or composition. When slightly toasted, biting into the Specially Selected Brioche Buns is what I imagine biting into a cloud would taste like. Specially Selected Brioche Buns tastes good on its own or you could use it as it is probably meant to be eaten with hamburger. The flavor of the Specially Selected Brioche Buns is subtle enough to let other flavors (like hamburger meat) stand out, but tasty enough to bring some extra flavor to the sandwich. I cannot believe that this Specially Selected Brioche Buns was imported from France, tastes this delicious, and costs less than supermarket hamburger buns which are not as tasty as Specially Selected Brioche Buns.

Fresh and tasty
I made ham and swiss sandwiches with these buns. They were so soft and the outside was almost pretzel like. I did toast the bun and next time I will get those for my burgers from the grill.

Average Buns, Somewhat Fell Flat
Beautiful brioche buns, but they are not quite real brioche tasting. As someone who bakes and who has made brioche buns, they did not have enough substance to them to really be brioche. Also, while eating them, they completely flatten, which is disappointing. They are not bad, but I don't think they should be labeled as brioche.

Nice Buns!
I was surprised by the quality of the Specially Selected Brioche Buns. The Specially Selected Brioche Buns were soft, but also very pleasingly chewy. I could toast them to use as garlic bread or shred them up into croutons or whatever, extremely versatile and tasty in every variation. The Specially Selected Brioche Buns were such high quality for such low cost, helping me stretch my food budget farther without compromising on quality.

Amazing brioche hamburger buns
These brioche buns were absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly shocked when they tasted better than other brioche buns I've ever had. I toasted them and ate them with turkey burgers. Will purchase from now on.

Great taste. Better than plain bread
I used the for my sandwiches at work. The bread was soft and tasty. I was impressed. I do to go to Aldis often but I will pick these up from now on. My sandwich was so much better than using plain bread.

Perfect veggie burger bun!
These buns did not last long in my house-as you can see from the picture. I used them for my black bean veggie burgers and they held up well with condiments and has a great taste. My husband at them just buttered and loved them as well. Very fresh!

Good firm buns
These were really good brioche buns. They were soft, yet didn't get soggy from the burger. They held up really well. They had a delicate flavor that complemented anything put on it.

Delicious
I loved the taste of these buns. My only reservation on purchasing them again, is the price. $1.99 for only 4 buns, is a little on the high side, but they did taste very fresh.
Verified member
Soft, Sweet and Different
Specially Selected Brioche Buns are a nice alternative to hamburger buns. I found them to be better tasting and last longer than your traditional hamburger bun - they don't dry out as quickly. They are on the sweet side, reminiscent of a Hawaiian bun. They're not the best bun for all types of sandwiches, but great with ham.

Best brioche
Best brioche buns i've ever had. These are the perfect pairing for your hamburger. Very happy

Yummy! Love them
I went home and made spicy tuna salad (spicy tuna packs from Aldis). Best sandwich hands down. This is my first time trying the Brioche buns, they are so soft and heavenly. Absolutely great with my tuna salad. Definitely worth it to buy these for any occasion. I will be. Aldis bagels are one of my favorites too, just saying.

Light and fluffy brioche buns so yummy!
I wasn't sure how impressed I would be with these brioche buns, but they exceeded my expectations! Tasted incredible as breakfast sandwiches filled with bacon, egg, and avocado!

These taste incredible
We made hamburgers and even over cooked the hamburger but these made it taste so good.

Eat your sandwich, don't wear it
These buns stand up to whatever you place in the middle. Burgers, a mile high ham and cheese sandwich, whatever your favorite fillings are. They're soft, but they don't fall apart when cut in half for eating, or during eating. They have a slightly sweet taste that doesn't compete with the rest of your sandwich.

Brioche buns
I bought these buns to go with the burger patties that I purchased. I wanted something a little different for our Friday night dinner. These tasted great with the burgers and the vidalia onions that I topped my burgers with. My kids liked the tasted also. I like that there were 4 buns in the package as this is the number of burgers I normally make. I also like the clear package that the buns were wrapped in.

Soft and delicious!
We loved these buns! They were soft and had a great flavor. I ate one of these by itself with a bit of butter. .. they reminded me of homemade bread. I made my husband a sandwich for lunch using a brioche bun instead of the usual bread. He loved it! I've seen brioche buns similar to these at other stores for more than twice the cost. These are an excellent buy!

Brioche Buns
Better for a group, as they can be used all at once. As a single person, it was a problem because the bag is not re-sealable; so I had to put them in another bag. But they were moist, and good flavored, even to the last one. And in one way better for a single person, as they are only 4 buns to a package.
Verified member
fresh and delicious
I loved these Brioche buns. They were soft, fresh, and delicious with pulled pork! Great flavor and not dry at all, like many buns can be. I just wish there were more buns in one package. When I was at the store, there were only a couple of packages left that I could see so these buns must be popular with other folks as well.
Verified member
Delicious and soft
The buns were very fresh and tasted buttery soft.. I would definitely recommend this product
Verified member
Tastey, but too delicate
My husband really enjoyed the taste of these buns, but felt they were too light and fluffy for a burger or other hearty filling. He felt they were somewhat dessert-like, so not quite right for burgers.
Verified member
Great tasting bread
I never have tried this kind of bread before. It tastes good. Since it's pre-sliced it's easy to make a quick sandwich. I wish the package had a ziploc style bag, because I couldn't find a clip. I wish the label was better designed to make it stand out more.
Verified member
Surprisingly good!
I didn't expect much of the Brioche Buns. They look like a basic hamburger bun. However, they taste great! Very buttery! Definitely an indulgence, but will take basic sandwichs and burgers up a notch.
Verified member
Good sweet taste bun
They have a pleasant buttery aroma, fresh looking and very inviting. The brioche burger buns are silky and golden brown in color and have paper-thin flaky crusts. They are pre-sliced and the buns inside are light yellow in color. The texture is light and puffy. They are deliciously moist and soft. There is a light touch of sweetness with a rich butter and egg taste. The sweetness of the brioche complimented the burgers well. They do not fall apart and are big enough to hold a big, juicy burger. Only downside is the price. It is a little pricier than regular generic buns. However, I would definitely buy it for special occasions.

So fluffy
We loved the fluffy round buns that soaked up the sauce that came with making steak sandwiches with them.
Verified member
These buns were comparable to a bakery product.
These buns were soft, buttery and tasty. They were more like a high end product or a bakery product. Very fresh tasting. But, you only get 4 buns instead of the usual 8 buns for about the same price.

Light, tasty buns
These airy and light buns make for great sandwiches and burger buns, and are a great value.

Bakery Fresh
I used these buns to make hamburgers. They were bakery fresh and very soft. They tasted like a Brioche bun with slightly sweet undertones to the flavor. I lightly toasted them , which worked wonderfully. They tasted great & were worth the fifty cents each they averaged out to be.

Great tasting brioche bun
I found this brioche bun to be light and soft and a little more like a hamburger bun than other brioche buns that I've had in the past. I liked the taste of this product, not too sweet.
Verified member
I enjoyed the flavor but not the texture.
These brioche buns were a little dry, too soft and spongy. I like a firmer bun for burgers and sandwiches. They were sweet, and in another style they'd be great as dinner rolls.
Verified member
Delicious soft buns
The buns are very soft and have a slightly sweet taste. They are perfect for sandwhiches. I used one for a peanut butter and banana sandwhich and another for a turkey sandwhich. Delish. I would recommend you put any buns you have not used after opening in the package in a ziploc cause they will get hard if exposed to the air.
Verified member
Tasty, high-quality buns
These are high-quality, tasty buns. I have never had brioche before so I can't really do a comparison; however, these were good buns for the steak sandwiches we had. They held up well (didn't crumble) and they had a nice flavor.

Light and fluffy
I've never eaten a Brioche anything and really didn't know what it was...wow, I'm impressed! This bun is light and fluffy. Great for sandwiches but also great toasted with butter and garlic or butter and cinnamon!

Very Good Brioche Buns
These buns were soft and tasty. Made a good sandwich. Would purchase again.

Soft, delectable buns!
Aldi's brioche buns taste like they just came out of the oven, with a soft, doughy inside and a buttery outside. I found that these brioche buns were of great quality for the price you pay, and make for great eating when paired with cajun food. Overall, I would recommend this brand to anyone who wants the homemade taste without having to cook!
Verified member
Light, fluffy buns
These buns are extremely light and fluffy, much nicer than the brioche buns I've had at some restaurants. They're pre-sliced, although they don't look like it, and very easy to use for that reason, but not at all dry. The only change I'd make would be a way to close the package, since I don't normally eat 4 at once. I'll be going back for more, though.

Great with leftovers

Picture Perfect Buns
I originally bought these buns because of the way they looked, I like to take pictures my cooking and these photograph well. My family and I loved them. These are the only buns I purchase. They are light and buttery yet sturdy for a giant greasy grilled burger. They hold up well and I have never had one tear or break. At the same time they are light and airy enough for tuna fish salad sandwiches. I have had all kind of sandwiches with these buns and have not been disappointed. They also freeze very well.

Delicious rolls
I would serve these rolls at family gatherings.?zyhe rolls were soft and buttery. Taste expensive.

Rich Bread Taste
These buns are higher quality. I tried one just to have for breakfast, and it tasted good just on it's own. I can think of many uses for this. I might actually make some French Toast with it or a bread pudding. I will be looking for this product to buy occasionally in the future.

A nice yummy bun!
These are a really great product! They are soft and work well if you want to fancy up a hamburger or make a really good lunch meat sand which. I plan to get more of these on my next shopping trip

A Slightly Sweet Bun that Tastes Great
I am a fan of brioche bread and am very pleased to find these buns at such a decent price. The bread is soft, slightly sweet, and provides a nice amount of bread for hamburgers. I like that it makes a satisfying substitute for the kind of 'fancier' bread you get at a restaurant.

Very light and slightly sweet flavored buns
We used these brioche buns for sandwiches. The bread's texture was very light and almost had a melt in your mouth quality. The flavor was just slightly sweet. Overall we thought they were delicious and we are happy that we got a chance to try them!

Brioche buns
I really like the freshness and taste of these buns. They are very light and airy, and product is still very fresh, 4 days after purchase. I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing these for fear that they would be too sweet for sandwiches with veggie burgers, but the sweetness is very subtle.

Big Hit With The Fam!
I often buy different kinds of specialty breads and buns to serve to my family. I really love these brioche buns. I served them with BBQ Pulled Pork and everyone raved about how great the buns tasted. It's a win!

Not worth a premium price.
These were slightly better than the cheap soft white bread buns. Not a very "brioche-y" taste - sort of sweet, but not as rich as I expected. Also floppy rather than tender.

Fresh Buns
The Brioche Buns were exquisite. They were soft, fluffy and tasted like they were just baked - very fresh! These buns really added a wonderful twist to a turkey burger sandwich. I will continue purchasing this product!

Looks like regular bun. But it is delicious treat!
Lately, I try to limit my refined flour intake, and do not buy that much of bread. Only when it is special, or different. These buns did not look like much - some regular hamburger bun with funny-looking french name on it, unfamiliar to a regular american. I know what brioche is and what it takes to bake it, I tried to bake brioche few times myself. And, though these buns did not look like "real" brioche should look, they were absolutely delicious. I had intention to make some sort of a sandwich, tried a little piece of bread itself first, and ate one half without anything at all. I lightly toasted another half, and it was again, very good without even anything on it. Next time when I want my "carbs" craving - these buns will be the ones to look forward to buy.
Verified member
Great taste & texture
These buns taste good and are very fresh. They are a little overpriced compared to other buns. I probably would not have bought them without the incentive from Shopper Army. I might buy them again occasionally, but probably not on a regular basis.

great buttery taste
Light and fluffy with a perfect buttery flavor.

Sweet, soft enjoyable but would only serve special
Like 0 trans fat. Seems like more sugar than I should be consuming in a sandwich bread.

Good tasting
The brioche buns were very soft. I ate them with tuna salad. The slight sweetness of the eggy bread was a nice contrast with the salad. These buns are a nice upscale alternative to sandwich bread.

Expensive treat for your sandwich or burger
The Brioche Buns are a bit expensive, 4 Buns for $1.99. But the taste is worth it. The sweet Buns are pre-cut (this is great!) and come in at 170 calories, so are manageable for most diets. The packaging is a bit problematic if you only want 1 bun. You have to open the top of the plastic wrapping, but there is no way to close the wrapping up. I put the remaining Buns & plastic in a Ziploc bags with the hope the Buns will stay fresh. All in all a good treat, but not for everyday.

Vive la Brioche
This was a very tasty and soft bread. The texture was perfect and the bread was sliced evenly. I used it with plain butter and as a sandwich with deli meat-both were equally delicious making this product quite versatile. There was no odd aftertaste and the consistency was light and fluffy. The golden top of the bun made it look very appetizing. The value was good-though I would pay slightly more for a 6 pack instead of a four. The ingredients weren't as healthy as I would prefer-but it tasted so good that a small indulgence should be ok! I would definitely buy this product and would recommend it to others.

Thick, not dense flavorful, sturdy
I used these brioche buns as the sandwich buns for our ham sandwiches after Thanksgiving and they were perfect. We wanted something sturdy that could handle the piled on leftovers that regular buns or bread just couldn't do. These were able to take being slathered with cranberry sauce and piled with ham and dressing and then heated without falling apart. They were also good room temperature and slightly heated with equal goodness. The texture is not too dense or mealy which is the main complaint with a lot of most of the hardier breads, it stays soft and pliable, ready for you to fill it with your choice of tasty gourmet filling.

Perfect size!
I love the size of these buns, great size for my favorite costco turkey burgers. I like oversized Buns and I love Brioche. Wish they came in a 6 pack

Good taste but not price
I find that the buns taste was good. I wish the outside had more of a crust. The size of the buns was nice, large, and pre cut. The cost for 4 I thought was a little bit expensive. I would purchase them for special events.

Good Brioche Buns But Not Unusual
The buns had a pretty good flavor but seemed ordinary. They didn't really have a slight sweet taste and seemed slightly dense. They were sliced already which was a nice bonus. They seemed more like dense hamburger buns that brioche buns.

Gourmet buns at affordable price
I love making sandwiches at home and always want to try new things. I bought these buns, toasted them lightly and made ham and provolone sandwiches. I added tomato and red onion on one and added guacamole to my turkey and provolone sandwich. It was a great sandwich and the bun was soft on the inside with a buttery taste.

Delicious, delivering high quality results
This product is a high quality product which elevated the food we used with the buns. We tried these buns two ways, one untoasted and the other toasted. We used them for hamburgers. Definitely impressive taste, quality and overall a good product that I would buy again. They are not overly heavy but more airy and light than many other buns. They are more expensive but they are worth it in my opinion and I will buy again. I also would recommend these to others.
