Anchovy Classic Avocado Toast
Chelsea C.

This review is for the coffee, pastries and desserts only. When my sister comes to visit me from Northern California, she always goes to classes. The coffee's are perfect, not too sweet, but always rich and creamy. The pastries and the bread, incredible! Have never had a bad one. The showstopper....I had their Keylime pie and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had! It's a special they have for holidays, and the 4 in pie is $18....which is steep, but it is worth every cent. I highly recommend.

Sweet scone
Natalie N.

Great place!! I love their bread and pastries. Will always recommend. I love the extended hours of this location compared to Alma location or if items are out of stock there I can just drive here. Tried the sweet scone today. And a twice baked croissant to take home... (my favorite)

Whenever people ask me what's in San Pedro, I always say there's nothing exciting. Well, Colossus is one of the exceptions. We don't have very many great places to brag about here, but this place is one of them! The first one was on Alma and 24th st and they close pretty early. There's another location and Long Beach, but they close around 5 or 5. This place is open til 8! I've been to this location a few times and although it's small, it's bright and inviting. I can't remember all the things I've had but the recent ones was a the lavender honey latte. That was pretty good. I usually get a milk alternative like oat milk. The OG cookie is one of my favorites you should definitely try it. 5 stars The financier is pretty good too! 5 stars Also the vegan double chocolate cookie is like 5 stars. I can't remember the other items I've had but try them! I'm definitely coming back!

What a great spot on Harbor accross from the fisherman's Wharf area in San Pedro. The staff were welcoming, professional and kind. The vibe and ambiance was positive and chill. My wife ordered the Chicken Caesar Sandwich and I had the French omelet. My wife had hot water and I had a café americano. Lux was our server and was professional, kind and efficient. Highly recommended.

My husband has had this place bookmarked for a couple of months, and we were excited to give it a try. We were in the area for an errand and stopped by before we headed home. Our experience was underwhelming with a hint of strangeness. We ordered one of each of the following items: a pecan sticky bun, a cinnamon sugar knot, a traditional croissant, a kouigan amann, and a pan con tomato, with two drip coffees. The cost was at least $48 without tip. We smelled the fresh garlic from the pan con tomato, yet it was still bland. The caramel on the sticky bun was tough. The sugar knot and croissant were just OK. The kouigan amann was the best of all the food items if I had to choose. Lastly, the coffee was OK. Theres both indoor and outdoor dining areas. It was a cold morning so we opted for inside. Now for the strange part. We reached the counter and started placing our order. The person was entering them into the POS system. In the middle of my husband ordering, the person taking our order starts conversing with the two baristas behind him, as if my husband wasn't in the middle of ordering. It was strange and rude. After placing our order, he grabs a box and asks us again which pastries we ordered. It could be an off day. I don't know, it wasn't a pleasant experience. We'll pass on this location, but might try the OG location on Alma St. and maybe have a better experience.

Midsommar Latte & Black Tea
Ruby M.

The coffee and bread are undeniably good. Not sure if it's because I arrived later in the afternoon, but I do wish they would offer to warm the pastries up. Still delicious. They can crank a latte out pretty fast (probably because they get so many orders), but for some reason my plain black tea took a while to come out.. Overall, it was a positive experience & I would return.

Fresh bread

Took a Sunday stroll down to Colossus's harbor location. It was a beautiful day and there was lots of people sitting outside and they're open area, enjoying their coffee and breakfast. Walked in and was immediately greeted. I asked for a recommendation from the barista and she gave me two options and I settled on the Midsomer latte. When I picked up my latte, the barista waited for me to try it because she felt that it maybe too sweet, but I tested it and it was perfect. Not too sweet at all. I appreciated her waiting to see if I liked my latte when she was unsure of it. That's really great customer service. Inside had a good group of people sitting there eating their breakfast talking. It's actually a very great location because it's on a corner so you have windows so you can see out to the harbor to the street that day was the day of the downtown Christmas parade, so there was a lot going on. I would have given this place five stars, but I was a little upset because I had waited for the restroom and when I finally went in, there was no toilet paper. Which happens. The thing that bothered me was that it was an employee who walked out of the restroom and didn't say "hey hold on, There's no toilet paper. Let me get some before you go in." I did let the staff know before I left and that's when I saw the employee behind the counter. Will definitely be back to try some of their pastries and breakfast

Inside vibe

Stopped in for lunch and ordered the Chicken Caesar sandwich, which comes on their delicious bread, toasted well. The chicken was a lemon pepper recipe with Dijon mustard and olive oil and topped with iceberg lettuce. Not that it wasn't delicious, because it was, but it was just the small sandwich without any sides for $16 ($20 w/ tax and a $2 tip). That is about $6-7 dollars more than I would expect to pay for an item of this type without a drink or sides to accompany it. Even a handful of potato chips would have made it seem more valuable. I know this is probably a high-rent, preferred location, but this would definitely price me out eventually. Loved the ambiance. The fresh flowers on each table were a nice touch, soft indietronic music playing in the background. All that was great. I just think I am in a different tax bracket for those who could afford things at this location on the regular. I did enjoy the chicken recipe, the sauce and my sandwich. Just wish there was a little more of it or more to it for the price.

Mushroom French Dip

Colossus Bread did not disappoint. The Midsommar Latte was hands down the best iced coffee I've had--perfectly sweet and super smooth. The mushroom French dip was just as good, great portion and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients. Already planning my next visit

This location is the bougie version of the Colossus collection and more cafe than actual bakery. I highly suspect they don't even make the pastries at this location, but get it from the other ones. This one is located on Harbor Blvd very close to the USS Iowa in San Pedro. I got the French Omelette plate. Was it worth it? Eh, it's good for a small breakfast so if you're a hearty eater, this would be too small. If you're a light eater, this is the place for you. Pricey, but ok Summary: if you come here expecting to be assaulted by the smell of baked goods, you won't get it here. Go to the other locations for that. Pizza dough isn't even available here, you have to go to another location for that. All in all, just ok.

Colossus is one of those bougie cafes that has pricey pastries, but honestly, they're worth it due to the quality and taste. Each bread in the display case is between $5-$8, and there are impressive-looking features, interesting combos, and healthy options. I had fun chomping on a decent amount of the baked goods; most were delicious. My favorites were the Strawberry Scone with Passionfruit Glaze, Cacao and Sea Salt Brownie, and the OG Cookie. The scone surprised me the most - it was dense yet not dry, with a fruity sweetness that wasn't overwhelming. The brownie was fudgy and perfectly salted. I would like to try some savory items next time, and hopefully a Strawberry Cookie with Matcha Glaze since the OG Cookie was very satisfying. The Dark Chocolate Cream Pie ($18 for the regular/small size) was good, but I wouldn't get it again. The dark chocolate cream filling had a rich, ganache-like flavor. The crust was crumbly, as expected, but mostly stayed intact. I didn't love that there was a reminiscent taste of cheesecake since it made the chocolate cream pie too tangy for me. Staff were chill and ready to help answer questions. Inside was clean, modern, and airy, with huge window walls that let you peer into the harbor. We parked on S Palos Verdes St (free street parking), which was a very short walk to Colossus.

Croissant Breakfast Sandwich
Ashley P.

I ordered the croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon, it was excellent!! Dark Chocolate Mocha was good, but it was barely warm, but they surprisingly/unexpectedly replaced with a warm one after voicing my concern, which was appreciated. Service, good enough, Ambiance is cute! Price of bill was very steep though. I will be back though, but not often because of price.

My friends keep going to Colossus for their pastries, and this time I tagged along and tried the coffee. The cafe has a bright, trendy feel to it, and there's a few tables inside to sit down and enjoy your food. Ordering at the counter is quick and easy, but it's best to come early in the morning before the line gets long. The staff greeted us warmly and kindly answered all the questions we had about the delectable pastries in the display case. I got an iced americano, and it's good but not my favorite. I'd say it's in my top 5 though. Next time, I definitely want to try some of their pastries or pizza!

Best bread. Ever. Not just in the South Bay but in LA. Everyone is so nice too. When I'm in town, I always stop.
