Usually, I really enjoy their iced vanilla lattes and their Midsommar Latte. However, the past five times I've ordered either of the two, it has been disappointing every time. The ratio is off and it's just not as good as it could be. I'm a fan of their Passion Fruit Matcha Tonic. It's not a drink I would normally order but I'm glad I did because it's delicious! I've ordered it at least twice and it's been consistently good. Their pizza is YUM. The Rosa was really good and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Smashed Fingerling Potatoes: these were just ok. Nothing super special about them. I love potatoes so they do the job when I want potatoes. Croissant Breakfast Sandwich: very greasy. This one was a thumbs down for me. Parking can be difficult to find, but I'm usually able to find one.
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.
This location is right on the main street of Harbor blvd so you got to find parking on the street I didnt order food so this is solely based on the drink i ordered which is their iced Midsommar latte ($8.50) A little pricey compared to other coffee shops but its because they use quality ingredients and coffee beans that you can taste. It was balanced with just enough sweetness and from the cold foam which i liked didnt really care for the garnish that was sprinkled at the top which i believe was fennel and something else it just left a robust after taste onve you get to the bottom of the drink. Overall a really good quality of coffee
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!

Service was good when they opened but new staff doesn't care about quality or customer service. They served me burned pizza and when I notified them they stated they would let the cook know... that's it. So I pay good money for a burnt pizza and must now eat it because it was served to me. Also, after staring at my salad sitting ready on the counter I walked up to pick up my salad and was directed with her finger to sit down by the staff member saying she would take it to me. Just completely rude. Burnt pizza is terrible. read more

The thing that keeps in my mind about this place is that the ingredients are really good. The atmosphere is touristy cafe but it's informal and quiet enough for a nice meal. Service is limited all in all, but the folks behind the counter seem nice and helpful enough. The BLT is a favorite. The pizzas are real good (not cheap and no slices) my favorite is pepperoni because that flavor combo lest the taste of the sourdough crust shine. read more

Finally got to visit the new-ish Colossus location in San Pedro! Absolutely love that this spot has dine-in seating and a breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu in addition to their usual fresh bread & pastry options. Service was friendly and warm as usual. Baked good were amazing as per usual. I went with the spanakopita and the olive focaccia. Highly recommend both. Can't wait to dine in and try some food off their menu! I will most definitely be back. read more
Arrived for dinner service ( it was afternoon and closer to 5 pm), but the pastry counter was still well stocked. Small space inside and it was packed, but we lucked out as lunch people left soon. We got the meatballs in Sunday gravy (fennel sausage in the sauce) and gnocchi (flavorful but a tad dense for me) plus three pizzas to share. The Calabrian chili honey and sausage pizza was delicious, not overly spicy nor sweet. The Rosa pizza was also quite tasty. We added pepperoni to both. Also got a white pie that had ricotta and mozzarella, we added white anchovies for a little kick. We brought home maybe a third of each pizza. All the sourdough crust are came out blistered from the hot oven, had a great chew and bite. A lot of pastries made fresh, I got the pecan sweet roll ( think of a croissant base with lots of pecans and a caramel bottom, maybe it should have been warmed to make the caramel soft), Kouguin Amman, and chocolate streaked cookies- this last one was wonderfully chewy plus hints of salt. Also a whole loaf of sourdough to go. Ended my meal with a honey lavender latte and a matcha on ice for the daughter. All the staff were very patient in serving the dinner crowd. Plus busy takeaway business this late afternoon. The barista was working solo but my brews came out in no more than a few minutes. Two gender neutral bathrooms , changing table in one of them. Street parking was not easy but we got a space after rounding about twice. Merchandise available with bags, tshirts and fresh bread, wines, roast coffee. Outdoor seating available but it was windy! read more

Stopped by the new location in San Pedro when I was visiting my mom. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Ordered the vanilla latte with Almond milk my coffee was delicious and loved the cute design. The place is beautiful and very clean and new. The only bust was the parking situation I took a couple loops around the block to finally find a spot as I was about to give up glad I didn't and made it in. read more

Gone is the cheerful service and "no tipping policy." I think I would go support Colossus because of that. I didn't feel cringey at the register because I had to figure out tip for ringing me up. I don't think I would go out of way to come here again. We do have better bakeries all over Los Angeles like Proof Bakery, Republique, and Tartine. For San Pedro locals, it's a quality bakery that's needed without treking over to Los Angeles or to Long Beach for Gusto Bakery. For someone from Los Angeles, I would not go out of my way for a visit. The kouign amann at $6+ seems smaller now and seems a bit different in shape than before. The sourdough bread was priced at $10+ and a bit smaller than the loaf I buy at Jyan Isaac Bread in Santa Monica. It was a bit of a let down when I cut into it to look at the crumb and found out why it felt heavy because it was dense and not airy with an open crumb. The new space is modern and they have some artisanal products for sale. There's seating, a self-service water station, and a restroom now, but no table service. They've expanded their menu offerings including pizza. I sense the excitement of locals and Colossus has taken advantage of the lack of competition that they now have two locations in San Pedro and one in Long Beach. I would not order their sourdough bread again as the crumb looked dense and amateurish. I am not sure if it was underfermented. My go-to was their almond croissant or kouign amann. I would probably stick with their specialty almond croissant only if I was in the mood for a pastry while in San Pedro. I've ordered the regular croissant before and I prefer the almond croissant as the regular croissant lacked flavor. They've kept their steep prices when tip was included and are now asking for additional tip at the register. I get it. Operating a business at this location is more expensive. I didn't have problems finding street parking on a week day. Not sure if there is parking in the building and I found parking on the street. Recommended for locals and tourists in San Pedro for their almond croissant. read more

Heard about this place from my boyfriend's son. We ended trying it out & soooo glad we did! That buckwheat muffin was BOMB!!! I can't remember what drink i ordered but it delicious . My boyfriend said his pumpkin spice latte was really good as well. I'll definitely stop in there again next time in town. read more
Went to the location near the water Saturday morning around 9:30am and it was packed. It only got busier. There was a good amount of parking on the cross street (5th). Inside is cute and clean and there are various types of pre-made bread that you can buy. Got the cinnamon twist (not bad) but it was the midsommar latte (iced) and croissant breakfast sandwich that really shone. Everything is on the pricier side but it's a nice place to splurge at. read more

Nice, quiet atmosphere. Food is good and fresh, the coffee is delicious and strong. Customer service not good at all. The girl at register was not friendly at all. Cool location to walk around the port after having breakfast. read more

PSA: I want Colossus to be a Success!! This is my 3rd visit to this new location since they have opened in February. The bread and drinks were to Colossus standard- amazing! This time I came in to try their food with my husband and daughter at 5pm. The ambience was so nice, bright and airy, the floor to ceiling windows, modern tables, and the fresh wildflowers on the tables. I felt like I was in Seattle or in a port restaurant in the PNW. Last night we ordered the gnocchi, Rosa pizza, and caesar salad. We waited for 15-20 mins to get our food because there was a rush of to-go pizza orders. The Gnocchi- the sauce and pork was very good, seasoned well and very appetizing. The dough itself was a bit crumbly and dry? But it was still enjoyable. Rosa Pizza- the sourdough was great! Very chewy, with a perfect crunch and scrumptious. The ingredients were good, a teaspoon too much black pepper in my preference but overall tasted like an elevated cheese pizza. Caesar salad- sigh. It was the worst caesar salad I ever had. As a caesar salad aficionado, (literally my husband has to stop me from ordering at every restaurant) I was incredibly disappointed. The greens were completely drenched with sauce and black pepper. Like almost felt like a mistake, like someone accidentally mixed the salad twice with dressing. Also it tasted very warm, like the salad was sitting out for an hour or so. The dressing was incredibly salty, more like sauce than dressing really. And it kind of gave a bad aftertaste, like my throat hurt. Kind of like gulping a spoonful of Worcester sauce. (I don't know if thats the ingredient but it tasted similar). The staff seemed to be very busy/tired and only social amongst themselves. It also seemed like they are not trained in restaurants because out of 7-8 staff, only one friendly guy (who also took our order at register and served us) actually came around a few times to bring water and utensils and food. He came to work!!! Probably deserves a raise. (Are you guys prepared to run a restaurant or not?? Got to keep the priorities straight if you want longevity and word of mouth advertising.) We spent over $80 on this meal, but at the end of it I said to my husband, "I'll just cook dinner at home. I need to drink a gallon of water because my mouth was so salty." and he replied, "Just come for bread and coffee like usual babe." As I'm writing this review the morning after, I am still incredibly thirsty after that meal. I am sad to give 3 stars but honestly don't know if I can try a meal there again for a long time. 5 stars for their baked goods and drinks, will definitely be back for those, after I rehydrate myself... read more

I love colossus in general but this location specifically has very kind and professional staff. I love the pizzas they make here and I can always count on the staff to make good recommendations. Their drinks are consistently good and I love to stop by here whenever I can. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of space so it doesn't feel crowded. It is on a busy street but there is parking on the side street as well. Overall it's a great place to get a coffee or tea, or even dinner. I havent tried the brunch yet but their menu items look great. Their brownies are insanely fishy and rich, with the perfect pinch of salt. read more

Amazing food, super fast service and nice vibe. Never been to California before and this being our first stop is setting high expectations! Highly recommend for a quick and tasty breakfast. My latte wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be but I like both so that was no problem at all. read more

This is really hard to write but unfortunately they have no listed phone number so there is no way to contact the store directly but all of the produce was covered in sand / dirt! I got a side salad with a BLT this morning and both of those dishes were completely ruined by lettuce that was sandy and dirty. What makes matters worse is I personally have sensitive teeth and when biting into the rock hard sand sent sharp pain through my jaw. So disappointed, unfortunately I just can't trust this location anymore as it is not worth the risk. Especially when you're spending $60 for food and drinks, this is just unacceptable. Not to mention that they have also changed their sandwich bread from the nice thick and fluffy bread to a more traditional sandwich bread. read more

Amazing sourdough pizza! I've tried it a few times now and the crust is exceptional and filling. Love the pepperoni, but the pizzas without meat are also excellent. The cookies are amazing, and so is the fresh bread. You can't go wrong with this place. Lovely storefront, and wonderful staff make this a delightful addition to downtown San Pedro! read more

OUTSTANDING! I don't need to say more, but I will (lol) I have at least one loaf of the seeded sourdough each week. It's baked to absolute perfection. Nice crisp crust, but I believe keeps it fresh for a whole week, protecting the pillowy, moist sourdough inside. Just don't buy this bread, though, don't. (Why?) cause I need it. I NEEEEEED IT! Okay, so we move onto the almond croissant that I had this morning. Paris, Cape Town, Florence, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Denpasar, Dubrovnik, never found a pastry this divine. And it's in my own town. Blissed and Blessed this Sunday spring morning. read more
my mom and i went here for lunch. it must've been an off day for the staff because nobody gave us water or napkins till we were mid way through our meal, even though we ordered three entrees and coffee. it was also pretty empty, so we were surprised the service was so.... lukewarm the french omelette was stellar as was the mushroom sandwich. unfortunately, the other salad we ordered was.... oily... like oily to the point that when we boxed it up... the oil soaked through the cardboard box... the sourdough croutons, although delicious, were also drenched in SO much oil. we only finished maybe 1/4 of what we ordered. we wish we could like this place more, but we were disappointed by the lackluster service and the oily food the flowers on the table were a nice touch though. hope they're nicer to the next diners who come in! read more
