    Lamb Belly Souvlaki
    Johnny T.

    Went to Colossus's first night of dinner service. Everything was very solid... I have a ton of caveats, but I have faith it will only get better from here. You can tell the staff were a little nervous, which was to be expected. For example, we sat right by the kitchen and they came from behind us and awkwardly placed our food on the table instead of going to the front of the table like usual. This felt pretty janky and normally I wouldn't note something like this, but it felt unpolished. The wine list is decently expansive and had a wide range of prices, which is great! I got an orange wine (Russian River Valley) which was $11 for the glass; way better than a $20 cocktail. You MUST order the lamb belly souvlaki, that was the best bite of the night. It was extremely tender, yet the skin was lightly crisp. I've never had lamb belly before and now I wonder why I never see it on menus. One of the co-owners, Nicholas, came out and told us that his wife and co-owner, Kristin, is part-Greek, so she brought that inspo to the menu...I'm glad! I honestly think lamb belly would be an amazing main course...wow, wow wow. Next, I am adding this to the review because my friend went the day after: they said the pizza is REALLY good. I can attest to this because just about every table had it. The pizza has no flop, there's a nice char on the crust, and it has the perfect amount of "grease" you want in a pizza. The plus is that the cheese pizza is $22 which is way cheaper than the steak frites or roast chicken mains. Now I'm kind of regretting not getting it, but I'll come back and taste the rest of the menu. (I will update the review when I try the pizza). We also got the "bread service" with rosemary focaccia bread. It came with a side of olive oil and a very high quality butter. It was okay... kind of disappointing for a place that specializes in bread; it had a fluffy interior but a little too hard than I like on the exterior. Not enough rosemary flavor either. We had the Panzanella salad that was perfectly balanced between the tomatoes and stracciatella cheese, but the country bread "croutons" were a weird texture hybrid of too chewy and hard. The charred eggplant with beans dish was hearty and solid - it felt like a proper winter-y dish, but I wouldn't order it again though. The Caesar roast chicken could use some work, especially for $34. It was served on polenta with charred greens and didn't come through enough in flavor or texture. The chicken should have had a nice pan sauce, as the breast was a little dry. I saw other tables get the steak frites, which made me want to order a side of fries. They were visually very good but was about as good as diner fries. This is a huge miss. I'm hoping this gets a massive upgrade. It had no crunch and tasted slightly raw. Also, no side of any sauce whatsoever, either - should at least come with an aioli. I think your mileage will vary based on what you order. This is what I think would get a better review: get a pizza or two, mushroom polenta, and the spicy feta dip... I need to try the dessert next time as well. Although my review above sounds very rough around the edges, there's a lot of opportunity for polish. I still give it a 4! Total came to $126 including tip, which is pretty good for a date night with a TON of food. I would order less than I did, it's too much for two!

    My $7 latte
    Mari B.

    Great coffee, yummy pastries & cookies!!8 got the Midsommar Latte & a regular vanilla latte hot. I got the huge salted chocolate chip cookie which was to die for. I didn't get it warmed because it already looked soft and I didn't want it to be all over me if I got it warmed (too messy). I just love the flavor of the Midsommar latte it's like earthy, it has espresso, house-made anise caramel, cold foam, fennel, and bee pollen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ps. They are making their inside space bigger so now people can hang out inside and be cozy like a nice little coffee shop with comfy seats and environment overall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Honey lavendar latte
    Deanna K.

    There are a lot of great coffee houses in LB, and I would say this one is in the top 5! The line was out the door, on a Monday at 10:00 and now I see why. I love a lavender latte and their honey-lavender one was made to perfection; I also love that they have soy milk! Also, their butter croissants are ginormous and so fresh; perfectly crispy on the outside! They make fresh breads and pastries too. Prices were fair and about average. Def my new favorite!! :D

    Colossus new dinner menu did not disappoint. We ordered the meatballs, steak Frites, and half Caesar roasted Mary's chicken. Everything was also yummy. The staff was very attentive and sweet! We will be back! Highly recommend checking it out

    Colossus used to be one of our favorite places in Long Beach for fresh bread and interesting sandwiches. Our favorite sandwich is their Turkey and Brie with fig mostarda. The Turkey and Brie sandwich has changed over the course of time as it has a less prominence of brie and fig flavors; however, this sandwich costs $16. Their star of the sandwiches are their fresh breads. Cost of lattes range from $8 to $8.50. They have some good pastries here; however, they're also priced on the higher end. I don't come as often as we did before because parking is pretty inconvenient on 2nd street and their are also prices are on the higher end. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They're expanding their space to have more seating, which will be nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At this time, you mainly have to take what you buy to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Interesting display choice

    Pretty disappointed. Based on the quality of their bread I expected more from the restaurant side. It started with the 15 minute wait while we stared at half dozen empty tables all clean and ready to go. When we finally got seated it was at one of those empty tables. I Had the drip coffee which the server proudly stated was from a local partner coffee roaster. It was sour. She brought a fresh brewed cup. Still sour. So I stuck with the room temperature water. (Yep, room temp). I was semi thrilled to see their French omelette on the menu so I ordered it. Their chef needs to take a food trip to France (or maybe Ubuntu) because this was not a a French omelette. The most basic premise of a French omelette is slow cooking over low heat so the eggs don't color and stay soft and creamy. These eggs had plenty of color, had a crisp (not soft) texture and had the taste of overheating. I could have just gone to a regular breakfast joint if I wanted an overcooked omelette, and it least it would have been meal sized. The salad was nothing special. The toast was very good. My husband had the Caesar chicken sandwich. There was nothing stand out about this sandwich. After breakfast we ordered the special dessert. It was on the specials menu (which consisted of two items). Oddly, despite their specifically bringing the specials menu to our table (we didn't ask for it) the specials were only for the evening. Umm, ok, why did you bring me the menu? So we ordered the kouign amann. It was oddly served upside down so the stumpy bottom was facing up and the crispy top of the muffin was down on the plate. Complete lack of attention to detail. How did they think an upside down, 7 dollar pastry slapped on a plate would be perceived by the customer? As I write this I'm still hungry and drinking the coffee i made at home. I'm not going back.

    bitten, more than twice

    Unfortunately this will be an incomplete review of sorts because we arrived at around 10am and the pastries that I wanted to specifically try out which was the cardamom and the almond croissant were all sold out. Major sad face. Now, I know that bakeries can only keep stock what they can and I really don't know if it's right to blame or be upset, but it was still relatively early, and we just simply struck out. I did pick up a few selections that they did have, but it truly was slim pickings even though what we did snag was pretty ok--sorry, I think my mood was not the best and I can't remember what they were. It doesn't help that I recently went to a popular bakery in Pasadena with a line and another bakery in Long Beach, and both experiences were more positive and successful than this one was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a pick up and go spot as there are no tables to dine-in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We stopped by Colossus Bakery for coffee this morning. It's so fun to come in here and see all the delicious baked goods! Additionally, they have a mini deli with all kinds of interesting ingredients and condiments, even Rancho Gordo Beans from central California!! The coffee was great and with had lovely conversations with other customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a great place to start the day[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    honey lavender latte and turkey and brie sandwich
    Samantha H.

    Honestly, Colossus is a solid cafe and I bet they'll be booming once they finishing expanding. Still, I'm more a fan of their food than coffee. I got a honey lavender latte, as I've only tried their drip in the past. The honey lavender notes were definitely there, but the latte is much more on the milky side than coffee side, which is what I didn't like. However, their sandwich was soo good. The turkey and brie has a nice fluffy bread, a healthy portion of turkey, a mix of herbs, and this super sweet and fragrant fig mostarda, which is like a fig mustard spread. Definitely would come back for the sandwich, maybe not the coffee though.

    Preparing to make my first latte ever from here!
    Shay J.

    I asked around--with so many coffee shops on 2nd Street, one has to stand out above the rest. EVERYONE I asked had the same response--COLOSSUS! And their recommendation let us here today. Folks, trust the baristas, if they recommend a coffee, go with their recommendation. Rose Cardamon Latte. I don't think that is even a combination that even makes sense, yet it was a flavorful explosion I am glad I experienced. It's not too sweet, it's extremely creamy and the exotic combination does not overpower the essence of the coffee. I see why so many say Colossus is the best; simply put, THEY ARE!

    I stopped in for a quick snack, but I honestly can't even remember what I got. If you can recognize this latte let me know. I remember it being a little too sweet, but I think that's in the design of the drink by looking at it. I remember also getting a pastry like a ham and cheese croissant and liking it, so I would definitely come back.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Yummmyy!! Quaint, cute and delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My hot matcha was perfect and their holiday drinks are worth a try. I loved my pastry -- a type of croissant with vanilla bean inside. It was the perfect amount of bread with sweetness. The vegan cookie was also a hit -- super duper chocolatey like a brownie [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes are vibing. It's like a teeny tiny market inside with coffee and baked goods at the end.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can buy wine, clothing attire, and other cool food things.

    Midsommar Latte ICED ONLY Cinnamon Sugar Knot
    Wilson S.

    Cinnamon Sugar Knot, Midsommar Latte ICED ONLY This was my first time trying out colossus after always passing by it on my walks along 2nd street. I ordered a Cinnamon Sugar Knot and a after looking at the coffee options I decided to go with the Midsommar Latte. The Cinnamon Sugar Knot was pretty yummy, it had, in my opinion, a very good distribution of sugar all along the pastry and wasn't lackluster like I feel most places are. If you are craving a sweet bite of something I recommend the Cinnamon Sugar Knot for sure. The Midsommar Latte on the other hand had a pretty presentation and at first glance looked like it would be pretty good. Sadly to me the flavor wasn't there, it tasted very milky and lacked any other flavoring. It's suppose to be a spicy Carmel as described to me by the barista but as I stated I was just milky. If you crave more of a stronger coffee taste, as I tend to personally like, i definitely would stay away from the Midsommer Latte. The service was quick and the baristas were nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There wasn't any music playing though when I went, maybe it was paused in accident, so it was extremely quite which isn't a bad thing but perhaps playing some lo-fi music to just set a nice relaxing tone would be great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, not a bad little cafe, nice interior, yummy pastries, and good amount of options to choose from within the drink menu[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cinnamon Sugar Knot was good

    What is the difference between Brunch Takeout and Brunch Takeout (3P0)? The items are the same, but the prices are different.

    Hey Chris! The (3PO) menu is for third party online ordering like Uber Eats and Door Dash. When ordering through our website, which will take you to Toast, choose the regular Brunch Takeout menu. Hope that helps!

    Is breakfast served all day?

    Is this a good place for working with a laptop?

    No not particularly. They have very limited seating. Maybe 3 or so tables inside, and some outside seating.

    Do they have any gluten free options?

    Yes they do with their buckwheat pastry. but most things are not gluten free.

    Do you guys offer delivery through postmates or maritime courier?

    Hi! You can order directly through our website through Toast, or with third parties Uber Eats / Grubhub.

    Can you get the Lavender Caramel Latte iced?

    Yes!

Located in the quaint Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, street parking was plentiful right outside the restaurant. We came around noon on Saturday, and thankfully despite their busy brunch rush we were seated immediately. Even though all of their seating is outdoors, tables are shaded by overhanging canopy and just added to the cute southern Italian bistro vibes of the place. The menu had a solid selection of both brunch and lunch items - I loved the Burrata di Campagna, which was flavorful with just the right amount of tart from the heirloom tomatoes. For my main meal I had to go with the Casarecce - one of their pastas that's made fresh in house daily. The braided pasta was wonderfully textured and soaked up all the pesto sauce without being overly oily, a perfect meal for a hot summer day. We finished our meal with a Nutella Croissant, from their artisan bakery that also makes their bread fresh every day. Perhaps I am a little biased, but the laminated dough was perfectly light and flaky, encasing a very generous filling of hazelnut chocolate cream. Our check at the end of the meal even came with a custom drawn postcard by one of the Nonna Mercato service staff - another present to add on to what was already a gift of a meal!

Charging someone after acknowledging a cancellation under those circumstances is unacceptable. This place clearly lacks the heart and humanity that a neighborhood business should have. I spoke with the restaurant manager Patrick after calling multiple times to speak with someone and he basically said he is not willing to refund the charge because they order food ahead of time. The food here is great but the service I received is awful.

What I love about this place is that everything is balanced. Its not too much of anything just perfect. The concha isn't too sweet. It's balanced by the sourdough which is complex. The coffees which anywhere else would be a sugar bomb are just right. The sugar highlights the brilliance of whatever it is paired with whether that is bread or coffee.

I also tried their new seasonal sandwich--the pulled pork melt and the very popular nonseasonal sandwich crispy chicken sandwich. Both were very filling and packed with flavor. Just make sure to eat these fresh, as they will likely get soggy if you try to save them for later. They have a great selection of desserts and coffee drinks that I didn't have room for this time, but I'll definitely be saving those for my next trip to Long Beach. If you're looking to try something a little different from the usual spots like Porto's, I highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be returning to try more flavors!

    My partner and I visited OBRA HandBakery for brunch after our marathon and this was a solid choice…read more It's quite the small shop with seating on the counter and 3 tables on their outside patio area. Parking - Free in a shared large parking lot, plentiful We were both intrigued by their potato balls, empanadas, and breakfast burrito in which we ordered 4 potato balls (2 chicken/2 beef), 2 empanadas (1 chicken, 1 beef), and 1 breakfast burrito to share. Our order came out in about 10 minutes or so, not too busy. Total came out to about $42 which is quite expensive for the amount of items in my opinion. 1. Potato Balls - By far my favorite menu items from the visit, they weren't as crispy/crunchy as Portos but they're bigger. Portions are big and it's filled with your choice of filling, very delicious, highly recommend 9/10 2. Empanadas - Usually I love empanadas but these were a bit disappointing on my end. They were softer than empanadas that I usually have, although delicious still but definitely not my favorite from the bakery. 6.5/10 3. Breakfast Burrito - Talk about portions, this breakfast burrito is loaded with ingredients, eggs among many other ingredients, super flavorful and savory. It does have a bit of a kick to it which adds to the taste, pretty good! 8.5/10 Overall, a solid brunch spot, although a bit expensive, it's still worth to check them out. Pretty decent tasting potato balls, breakfast burrito is big in portion and delicious as well, along with their empanadas which can be a hit or miss depending on the style of empanadas you like. Definitely a good spot for a snack even if you're in the area.

    I can only speak on the red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Solid 5 stars. Tender crumb,…read morenot overly sweet, creamy but dense frosting with little walnut bits for texture. My coworkers rave about the chicken pot pie in spite of it only having a top crust. Put it on the bucket list!

    This spot is located right on Atlantic and 37th St. so find parking on the street…read more First time coming here, one thing to know is that if you're by yourself or with a party of two and you don't mind sitting at the counter, the countertop is first come first serve so you don't have to wait on the waitlist and make the same mistake that I did. At the end of the day, that's exactly where I sat on the countertop realizing it's first come first serve. Our server was great we were immediately greeted. She took our order this place has a lot of bake goods muffins, cinnamon rolls, cake pies you name it. couldn't help it to order the cinnamon roll, which is pretty huge. Unfortunately the cinnamon roll is bland but pretty big good enough to share. What are their protein omelette which comes with a muffin or toast, picked out of toast and this omelette is all egg whites spinach, grilled chicken, breasts, peppers, onions, tomatoes, with cheese also comes with a side of potatoes, my friend, what are their huevos rancheros. I like how their jams are homemade which is pretty nice pretty busy so do you expect the wait time but it kind of goes by quick I highly recommend
