Trader Joe's shoppers know there's one bakery item that ranks above all: the Kringle.

According to a popular Trader Joe's fan account on Instagram, the grocery chain has dropped a new Cherry Almond version, which is perfect for summer.

Sharing the discovery online on Tuesday, July 14, the account wrote, "We have a new Kringle in town at Trader Joe's and it's cherry almond. Have you tried it? I haven't yet but I can't wait. I can imagine it'd be perfectly tart but sweet and I will be adding some ice cream."

Fans were quick to share their excitement in the comments.

"Ok so I tried this today. Immediately wanted to go back and buy more…. I have no self control, I need help," one quipped.

"Oh no, I've managed to never have one of these but cherry almond??? Come on 😋🤤," another wrote.

A third said, "Absolute Fire…IYKYK🔥."

The limited-time pastry joins Trader Joe's lineup of seasonal Kringles, which have become something of a cult favorite over the years. While many shoppers associate the sweet treat with Trader Joe's, the famous ring-shaped pastry is actually made by O&H Danish Bakery in Wisconsin, where the traditional Danish dessert has long been a local specialty.

Fans know the bakery item rarely sticks around for long. Throughout the year, Trader Joe's rotates flavors including Pumpkin Caramel, Raspberry, and a cheesecake-inspired spring variety.

The new Cherry Almond version is expected to be another limited-time offering, making it one shoppers may want to grab while they can.

And each one-and-a-half-pound pastry serves up to 12 people, making it an easy dessert for summer barbecues or weekend brunches. Of course, plenty of Trader Joe's fans would argue it's just as good enjoyed straight out of the box-or warmed up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-indulgent treat.
