    Inside
    Lawrence H.

    Got a Traditional Croissant ($5.50). The croissant was buttery. However, it could have been more flakier. I also wanted to try their Country Levain Bread but they did not have a bread slicer machine on premise (I really like uniform sliced bread and my knife skills are horrendous). Service was very friendly and upbeat. They are located in the middle of a residential area. I went on a Saturday around 09:00 and ended up parking about a block away near the school.

    Came in to try their coffee. I wasn't sold on the variety they had to offer. Nothing about their coffee stood out that separated them from other coffee shops. I tried their drip coffee and it was okay. I also tried their hojicha coffee and that too was just okay. I wouldn't come back here again.

    Ham & Cheese Croissant
    Katelyn O.

    The pastries here are incredible. Their kouign amann was the best one that i've ever had, the bottom was perfectly caramelized and the inside so buttery. My favorite was their seasonal squash, mornay, and pumpkin seed gremolata savory danish, it was unique and tasted so good, i wish i could get another one! Another big hit was the cinnamon sugar twist, it kind of reminded me of a way better version of a cinnamon roll haha. The ham and cheese croissant and the garlic herb and cheese scone were also incredible. I'm usually pretty let down by chocolate chip cookies but this one didn't disappoint me at all! Every item i got here was amazing and i will definitely be coming back when i'm in town again.

    Happy people enjoying their coffee and pastries in front of Colossal

    Hands down one of the best little hole-in-the-wall coffee and bakery spots around! Everything we tried was amazing--you literally can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The cappuccino was perfect, and the barista absolutely crushed it. Pastries are generous (perfect for sharing), and the bread is baked fresh every day. Only tiny downsides are limited parking and not a ton of seating, but honestly it's in such a great walkable neighborhood with a park super close by--ideal for taking the kids afterward and letting them run around after we've had our coffee fix. We'll be back for sure!

    If you only get one thing here ... let it be the OG cookie!!!! I try to stay away from sweets as much as I can, but the OG cookie is definitely my weakness. It's perfect every single time and I always buy more than one at a time. Service is friendly. This place is small but has a lot to offer. I haven't tried their coffee yet, but I have had their matcha and it was just ok. Perhaps their coffee is better or maybe they were having an off day. Parking has never been an issue. It is street parking, but I am usually able to find one nearby and right away.

    Front of store

    Bottomline - save your gas money and time, and go to Porto's for better taste and price Drove out to try this based on reviews and NPR spot. Very small shop / store front. Parties - Croissant and sticky buns - all $6 or above. Chocolate amount in the croissant was small and lacking. Sticky bun felt overcooked and hard. Appreciate the small shop effort - but not worth the price and drive.

    Top left scone (I don't recommend the scone), bottom left fruit/custard pastry, top right croissant, bottom, right chocolate croissant.

    Great pastries! Delicious croissants! Skip the scones, they are very dry. Tiny place. Take out only. Worth the wait if there's a line. There was a 5th cinnamon pastry in my box but it accidentally fell in my mouth It was delicious!

    Double chocolate muffin
    Anabel B.

    I was near by and in the mood for something chocolatey. I got lucky and pulled up right before they close on Sunday at 2pm. The double chocolate muffin caught my eye. While it's $5.50 and it's not very big. It's mos definitely worth every penny. It's moist, flavorful and airy. Not a bad combo in my opinion. Kinda bummed I only got one. Cute little spot too fyi

    Katelynn R.

    I've had plenty of their sweet pastries so I decided to try a savory scone today. The herbs and garlic were so balanced and delicious. The little pockets of cheese made it. The flaky salt on top was just the right touch. I got their salted caramel latte too with oat milk. I've never been disappointed here. As usual everyone was so nice!

    Been coming here for years. This cute bakery has great baked goods and coffee. We always grab a burrito next door and coffee pastry from here. Friendliest staff. Last time I was here had the double baked croissant didn't disappoint.

    Matcha Latte and Housemade Chai Latte
    Zeeshan Q.

    Colossus is a small bakery and cafe located in the heart of San Pedro. They offer a great selection of bakery products, coffees, teas, and even breakfast sandwiches. I ordered the chai tea latte, and I have to say it was one of the best ones I've ever had; strong hints of cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg while being nicely sweetened. My friend ordered the matcha latte, which is one of his favorites, and the breakfast sandwich, which is a bit expensive but a great one and done experience. Parking can be tough, but there is street parking available on nearby streets. They're definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

    Cinnamon Sugar Knot
    Payton V.

He was happy and excited ! Which made me happy and excited !!!! (Customer service is the key) ... he served me a HUGE delicious sandwich !!!! Guys the bread alone was worth it !!!! Whatever the price was IT WAS WORTH IT... I must point out that for such a great sandwich I'm pretty sure the Au Jus was just regular ol chicken broth (let's work on that) lol Anyways I enjoyed the sandwich, did some work before I needed a pick me up ! So this time instead of relying on the cashier since he didn't help with the matcha, I researched and went for the MIDSOMMAR LATE !!!! YOOOOOOOOO! I love when I take a first sip or bite of something and it's literally unbelievable !!!! This drink has to be top 3 for me ! And I literally travel for a good drink lol!!!! Overall I loved it! It started off rocky with a lack of customer service Which I'm a strong believer that customer service and my taste buds are connected hahaha so maybe work on that in the beginning. And if you're not into pushing matcha than just take it off the menu. I can't be a hater and not give credit to the food and drinks !!! Overall I like it, if you're a local this shop is definitely NOT local friendly vibes, more like "transplant local" vibe 8/10...could've been higher I might've just came at a wrong time. I want to make it very clear ! That even though bro started off a bit "bland" his energy picked up as time went by, deff not bashing him just being honest.

The cortado was smooth and very spot on. I'd recommend it to anyone. Pastries were very delicious, muffins were full of nuts not just on top but in every bite and they come from an amazing nonprofit organization. That Bánh mì sandwich had a bread that tasted so fresh, good-quality, soft inside with the perfect crunch on the outside. Spanish latte was just okay for me; I wasn't a huge fan of the syrup they used, and it didn't have any cinnamon (not sure if I needed to ask for it). Customer service: It did take a little while to get served and get my order down but totally worth the wait. Most busy places would notice you and say, we will be with you in a minute, but here I had two girl in the back notice me and kept working on drinks and other kept cleaning, Shoutout to Ethan who was an awesome barista who saw me and had great customer service. Overall though, this place checks so many boxes we'll definitely be back.
