"With locations in San Pedro and Long Beach, Colossus is one of our favorite destinations for bread and pastries, not just in the South Bay, but anywhere in LA County. Their naturally fermented country loaf is thick and moist, ideal for dipping into beef stew and pretending you’re an extra on Game of Thrones. The kouign-amann is salty and sweet, and the sticky buns combine the texture of a buttery croissant with pecan flavor. If you’re heading to meet some friends (or are just extra hungry), grab one of their assorted pastry boxes: it comes with six sweet treats, based on “availability, farm selection, and whims of our chefs.” We like to think of it like a breakfast omakase." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, cathy park
"It’s not uncommon to see a line out the door at San Pedro’s compact Colossus Bread. Founded by Kristin Colazas Rodriguez, a pastry chef and baker whose resume includes Petit Crenn, Outerlands, Octavia, and Osteria Mozza, Colossus specializes in laminated pastries and sourdough breads. The croissants and kouign-amann are a highlight of the menu, and no trip is complete without leaving with a baguette or country loaf. While the San Pedro location serves a tight breakfast menu, the larger location in Long Beach offers sourdough pizzas from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m." - Rebecca Roland
"This tiny but mighty bakery in San Pedro makes some of the top laminated pastries, cookies, and bread in the South Bay tucked away in a local neighborhood. The array of baked goods every morning can sell out most weekends, but will often include croissants, pan au chocolat, kouign amanns, and twice-baked almond croissants. The sourdough country loaves are nourishing and satisfying while the olive and cumin loaf brings in something head baker Kristen Rodriguez brought to LA after first serving it up from the Bay Area. Another commendable aspect of Colossus is its transparent labor model, listed in detail on its website, which shares wage structure, its gratuity-included policy, and community-minded hospitality. The bakery has since expanded to Long Beach and a full-service diner in San Pedro with breakfast through dinner." - Matthew Kang
"San Pedro is now home to second Colossus Bakery outpost, which means more naturally leavened bread and sticky buns near the harbor. The new space is on the ground floor of an apartment complex, with their full food menu of breakfast sandwiches, scrambled eggs on toast, and pizza in the evenings. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Cathy Park
"Since 2019 the bakery has opened locations in San Pedro and in Long Beach, and the team has secured a second outlet in the San Pedro Waterfront Arts District, perfectly timed for a Valentine’s Day debut. Founder and Long Beach native Kristin Colazas Rodriguez will expand the new outpost into all-day service, including dinner. The newest location will serve the bakery's popular sourdough bread selection, sourdough pizza, natural wines, a Lyonnaise salad, and meatballs in a fennel sausage and spare rib tomato sauce. The space features tall windows and open space on the bottom floor of the Vivo on Harbor building overlooking the water and sits one block away from the Battleship USS Iowa Museum and the San Pedro Fish Market. Starting Friday the new location will be open at 511 S. Harbor Boulevard, San Pedro, CA, 90731, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m." - Mona Holmes
