Tomato feta turnover
Lina F.

This is place is a stable in our neighborhood! The staff are friendly and patient. The pastries are amazing. They got rid of the bacon and cheddar scone so I am still sore about that! However their selection is amazing regardless!

My partner and I got an Iced Matcha and Iced Mocha, both of which were creamy and delicious. We also were delighted and surprised to find Challah bread so late in the day. It looked delicious and if this review is unedited by tomorrow morning, then I was right! Both employees were incredibly kind and personable, not just to my party but to the folks who walked in after us.

Almond Pain Au Croissant

As a person who has no chill when in need of the restroom, I loved the gentleman working there! He pointed out their restroom was out of order and advised I go across the street to the library. For his awesomeness...I bought an almond chocolate croissant and a cup of joe. Holy moly was the croissant good! It had a glazed and powered sugar exterior. The interior had ofc chocolate and an almond custard (?). With all that's happening, the croissant was still fluffy (I expected it to be dense). The combination of flavors and textures worked really well.

Large Cold Brew

Visited Colson Patisserie for breakfast on Saturday morning. Excellent pastries and they have a decent drink selection to go along with them. Quality: A solid cold brew, but the pastries are the stars here. I loved the Apple Cheddar Scone, which had incredible flavor and a nice texture. The apple came through, but it was the savoriness of the rich cheddar that makes it standout. Quantity: Standard drink sizes and pastries. Value: $4.50 for a Cold Brew. $4 for an Apple Cheddar Scone. Ambiance: Colson Patisserie is located on a busy corner in Park Slope. The inside area is only for ordering and preparing your coffee. They have a long counter displaying pastries with the coffee machines behind it. Seating is limited to outside, where a half dozen pink metal tables and chairs wait. Not the best place to hang out as the slanted sidewalk causes drinks to slowly slide. Crowd: Most tables outside were filled on a brisk Saturday morning. Service: Quick and friendly service. Parking: Some street parking in the area.

Popped in for a midmorning pastry and coffee pick-me-up on a Monday. Short line out front with a few people enjoying their treats on the benches in front of the store. Ordered a coffee and a rhubarb scone. The rhubarb scone was good as far as scones go - slight biscuit crumb, not too sweet - but severely lacking in the rhubarb department. Might have to try a different pastry next time but service was quick and friendly.

Apple Galette
Gail B.

For my weekly Sunday drive, I drove over an hour from Eastern Long Island because another Yelper told me that Colson Patisserie makes high-quality foods that are currently popular in Belgium. As both a European food and smoked salmon connoisseur, I ordered the smoked salmon sandwich. It was fresh, flavorful and creatively presented, and all ingredients brought out one another's flavor. The chef who prepared the sandwich today was Chef Roshon Martin, who prefers to be called by his professional name, Chef Roe. An outgoing and polite NYC native, he came out from the kitchen and introduced himself to me after he overheard me rave about the sandwich to staff. Chef Roe certainly knows how to prepare a tasty sandwich. I will definitely return to Colson Patisserie to taste another one of his sandwiches. Chef Roe told me he also prepares the salads and the yogurts. So the next time I return here, I will order the Salade Niçoise. I am going to compare it to the one I was introduced to in its city of origin: Nice, France. For dessert, I ate the Apple Galette and drank some cafe au lait with it. Both were fantastic. Overall, my dIning experience here was as close to what it was when I was vacationing in Belgium many years ago after I graduated from college. Colson Patisserie has my vote as a place to go to have a tasty meal. I highly recommend this eatery especially on a Sunday when street parking is free and plentiful.

Colson is a nice little pastry and coffee shop in BK that has a nice emphasis on pastries. If you like a wide variety of high-quality pastries with your coffee, this a great option. Most shops have ok pastries that they order in from someone else. Colson has the pastries and the coffee. The biggest challenge I have is deciding what to get because it all looks so good. On the coffee side of things, they have excellent coffee, my espresso was tasty. The store itself is not that big. There is room for a couple of people in your group to sit, but not for you and 10 buddies on a coffee run.

Cute little spot in Industry city, ordered a cold brew. They have a lot of pastries, bread and donuts. Cold brew was pre made but delicious. Fairly quick line but we were here around 11 AM. Large Cold Brew was about $4. Accepts cash and card.

You must have the Brussels sprouts!! I'd go back for those in a minute! I very much enjoyed my salmon dish. Lovely presentation and preparation but portion a bit small. However, the Brussels sprouts were so generous portion that even after sharing there was "take home" for us. The chocolate mousse was extraordinary! I don't even want to know the calorie count - but worth it!! My one negative was the chill of the Cabernet Yes, I know that's the trend but personally I prefer room temp especially in cold weather The restaurant owner was gracious, staff actually charming and accommodating We are recommending this place to family and friends and plan to return especially when going to BAM ENJOY!!

Walked in and was able to get a seat without reservation, but it definitely filled up by 6/7 pm. The place is dimly lit and the tables are quite small. For the food, we got their Brussel sprouts, shrimp, salmon entree and chicken entree. Our favorite were definitely the shrimp. But everything else when eaten together tasted a bit too greasy and felt monotonous in terms of flavor. Brussel sprouts were fried and held to a decent amount of oil, then the addition of tahini made it even more oily. Pan chicken we expected whole pieces of chicken but it was more like a thin chicken cutlet. The salmon came with a cauliflower puree which tasted so rich (with butter), but I couldn't finish it bc it was so rich.

People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
