The Best Bakeries in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"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

The Best Restaurants in LA’s South Bay, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"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

Colossus - Review - San Pedro - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"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

The Best Dishes Eater LA Editors Ate in 2019, Mapped | Eater LA

"San Pedro’s windswept, seaside fortunes have been slowly changing for years as new developments, restaurants, and customers flood into the sleepy far South Bay town. Next up is Colossus Bread + Pastry, a peach of a newcomer located right next door to the Chori-Man’s busy shop on a mostly residential stretch. Forget waterfront views; the eyeballs here are on all the colorful pastries, from sweet strawberry galettes, to peach danishes and house-made croissants painstakingly sheeted every morning. There are, as the name implies, loaves of bread (and coffee too, of course) to be found inside, but for those making all their carbs count, opt for some pastries soon. —Farley Elliott" - Eater Staff

While I loved the array of merchandise and beautiful atmosphere, I found the food slightly underwhelming considering the price. I paid over $30 for 2 food items and a canned drink. Once again, the food was not bad by any means- just on the pricey side. While I don't think I'll be back for the food options I liked the pastry options and think the stop is worth while if you enjoy that :)

Cute little coffee shop to stop by! They had a menu of breakfast foods and pastries. You can dine in or do take away easily. Parking is hard to find as it’s right on a busy street. I’d recommend walking if you can, or biking. Staff is very friendly and menu is easy to read. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Good place for quiet study or work time, or some self reflection. They had fresh bread for sale and some merch. Really cute stop for something yummy in the morning time. I’ll be back soon :)

Lovely little cafe super close to the cruise terminal! The Pecan sticky roll was TO DIE FOR ! So So Yummy!! Super fast wifi and a lovely atmosphere. Plenty of things on offer and also a little shop with bits and bobs in, great for gifts! Colossus has now become my go to place to come for a morning coffee and a good wifi connection! The speedy wifi isn’t the only connection you’ll get though as the staff are really friendly and attentive ! With new items coming to the menu for special events it great to come and see the place evolve over the months. Just tried the honey lavender latte and it’s delicious, sweet with a herbal undertone which is just lovely !

This was was just as amazing as the other Colossus bakeries we have been to in Long Beach and San Pedro except now they have dinner! First of all the location is awesome because it is right next to all the navy museum and the new walkway just across the street. Inside the restaurant it was filled with fresh baked bread, great pastries, and our breakfast oh my gosh amazing. I am bring my parent back here to try the breakfast sandwhich and potatoes hahaha. My toddler daughter had the omelette and she actually at the whole thing which surprised us because she doesn’t really love to eat solids yet. I just love it and I am happy San Pedro could attract such an amazing restaurant to the waterfront. I hope more restaurants will come and join them. Ambiance and service were on point and amazing as well. Overall well done! P.S I would probably come back to study as well since the inside had nice lighting and tables too.

The staff are so friendly and amazing!! The matcha is pretty good tbh, a deep matcha color good quality. It's not whisked it's from their own concentrate however I haven't tried any other drink yet however it's a cute place, I've heard their food is good my toast was okay not the greatest avo toast I've had but will definitely be back. It's a cute vibe.

So pumped about the new location on Harbor Boulevard! Lots of places to sit and enjoy the tasty treats, outstanding coffee, and Vibing with the local San Pedro people! Too much fun every day of the week and especially on Sundays! Don’t miss this place!

This past Sunday I stopped in for a pastry and coffee. Hands down the best coffee and pastries in the area. On my way out I saw the pizza menu and made plans to return. Last night I came in 20 minutes before closing with a group of five for pizza. The staff was happy to make us 5 pizzas and did not rush us to leave even though we were seated after closing. The pizza was also hands down the best pizza in the area. Whether you are looking for sweet or savory, this is the spot!

Colossus Coffee is an absolute gem in San Pedro! Their OG chocolate chip cookie is a must-try -- rich, perfectly chewy, and seriously addictive. Pair it with one of their coffees, and you've got the perfect treat. The location is unbeatable, right across from the harbor, with a relaxed, modern vibe that makes it the perfect place to work, catch up with friends, or just take in the view. What really makes this place special, though, is the team. Maddie, Dylon, and everyone there are so kind, welcoming, and sweet. You can tell they care about the community and love what they do -- and it shows in the service and atmosphere. Can't recommend this place enough!

Colossus means something huge in presence, power, size, or importance. This begs the question what is colossus about Colossus? And the answer to that, at least for me, is there bread promise fulfilled. Sure, bread can be sliced, standard, and useful. I mean try to play poker and try to eat meat--- having the meat in between bread helps you succeed in the task, as in one hand you can hold your cards, and in the other you can hold your meat in between bread. But this place carried the utility of bread into expressive domain because it showcased the wondrous ways that bread can be. Much like a person, bread can be dressed for a sweet occasion, be anointed with (olive) oil, be dunked in liquid, be bitten with gusto, be topped with fruit (like Carmen Miranda's hat) and in general be a reason why your morning is made complete, and today that happened to me. Although not pictured, I bought the honey lavender Latte. Its description is on the pictured coffee menu. I tried it, particularly because the menu describes their honey lavender syrup as homemade, which is appropriate for a bakery that makes their bread in house. I wonder how one mixes honey and lavender? For a moment, I imagined bees making honey in combs, and other bees bringing lavender petals from their outside garden, while others fly in an intense circle to mix the two principle ingredients in a simmer pot. I mean, I did not take a tour of their kitchen, the Wiilly Wonka-esque scene can be true, until I am proven wrong. What I do know for fact is that my honey lavender iced coffee was prepared by a person named Violet, which is an ironic twist that I welcome, like my morning buns being made by a man whose last name is muffin. The coffee was great, from first sip, it was a reminder as to why my favorite color is purple. It was refreshing, sweet, but not cloying. It is a perfect complement to a sweet morning treat that hits differently. Black coffee cuts the sweetness of syrup with welcomed intention, like a traffic cop interrupting the flow of traffic for other cars to flow! But here the sweetness of the coffee is like having cop cars escort you to the hospital when you are about to have a baby: the private escort elevates the moment of urgency, not to an inconvenience, but to welcome support. I also ordered the soft scrambled egg toast. I was attracted to the dish because it had creme fraiche. I have seen enough Gordon Ramsey shows to know that properly cooked eggs are simple but require creme fraiche. During this visit, I also learned the correct spelling of "creime fraiche." Spelling the words in french elevates its importance because it sounds more fancy than spelling or saying fresh cream. The actual egg dish on top of bread was great! It was deceptively simple--- eggs on top of bread. But the bread was thick yet light. The chives elevated the dish with color and snap taste! I got the dish to go go, and once I saw the carts with breads and bacon frying, I decided to stop my dad and eat in-house. I was provided fork and knife to eat my bread, but I ate it with my hands with gusto. I also took home a sea salt cookie for a nephew and a baguette. I tasted the baguette and its edges were over crisped and my nephew's cookie was spoiled by giving it to a child, as he has not yet develop his taste buds for discerning consumption. But if you eat to enjoy and not care to decipher than the cookie is a great home run! To the help the reader I have included the pictures of the coffee menu, and the food menu to help make informed choices. I am also happy to see that this place has found a home and following in San Pedro because I have always felt that San Pedro was a place that did not house the best restaurants for foodies and their gourmand cousins. But this place signals a shift, that I for one welcome!

This review is not about the baristas but about the integrity of the mid shift cooks on Tuesday July 1 I order 3 items from the menu around 4:05pm -Caesar salad -fingerling potatoes -meatballs As I waited for 25 minutes -- I watched the two cooks picking at food while they were supposed to "prepping for night shift" and cooking orders I then asked the eta on the food and barista kindly said a few minutes because "they had to prep some of the food" A few minutes later it was 5 more minutes By this point I was grossed out that not only the cooks did not have their hair properly tied back--they were eating parts of my food order as they cooked it The barista was kind enough to refund my food order I will not be ordering food from here again The coffee and drinks are great tho!

Worth a visit! The interior design of the place is well-thought of and modern. High ceilings and immaculately white inside. Though the place is on the small side, there is ample seating indoors and outdoors. They have a small section dedicated to craft foods and souvenirs. Which makes the place seem darn well crafted and hipster. I ordered the Calabrian chillies with honey and sausage pizza and Olives with orange. The pizza was artisanal and tasty. Although the middle of the pizza was a bit soggy with the toppings being cheese and honey heavy. I just dealt with it and thought the pizza was still delicioso. Some of the pizzas the other tables got had some burnt tops, but ours didn't have a burnt top, so we got lucky. One of the few kinks they have to work out of their system. I also got a fancy Italian orange soda that was crisp and refreshing. The place is an offshoot of the Colossus bakery on Alma St. with the same name Colossus. San Pedro finally got their artisanal pizza joint. They serve brunch, lunch, and dinner menus along with pastries and crafted coffees and matchas. One of the chefs/owner, Kristin Colazas Rodriguez is Michelin trained and coordinated Colossus' menu.

Thrilled that this local favorite finally has an expanded space with dine-in options. It's technically not full service but it's still nice to have an option to sit down and eat. They also have pizza in the evenings but I've yet to try it. One thing that is note worthy is that some time ago they raised their prices significantly and went tip-free. Sounds reasonable to me. But it seems that at least in this location they brought back tipping once again even though the prices remain the same.

Parking is on the street. I got a vanilla latte with almond milk and it was smooth and perfectly balanced. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Just right. The cardamom bun was amazing. Soft, a little sticky in the best way, and packed with flavor. Especially with the pearl sugar. I also tried the salmon toast tartine, asked for no cucumbers, and it still came out beautifully plated. The bread was fresh and had that perfect crunch to softness ratio. Salmon was super fresh and paired great with everything else on the plate. The whole vibe of the spot is calm and inviting. Staff is friendly and the place just feels intentional. You can tell they actually care about what they're serving. Highly recommend.

Chai latte with almond milk 9/10 $8 - good balance of spice and sweetness - it's not leaning too much on the sweet side - comes in one size Decided to stop by while driving around. Their chai is very good and was not a disappointment at all! I do prefer mine in the sweeter side but just the way it is was great! The customer service was great as well, the baristas are pretty friendly here. The shop is kept very clean and tidy. It's a Sunday and it's not so busy making it a great place to get some school work or work done. They also have Mitch and unique food items for sale here. Even wine.

The food was made to order and it was delicious!!! Pastries were also fresh and great service was provided by all employees. Great ambiance with huge windows that allow you to see San Pedro Harbor and Harbor BLVD. Outdoor seating was also available. Clean restaurant and clean restrooms.

Was in the area due to our cruise stopping for the day. After touring the USS Iowa, we were hungry and had been tipped to this spot by one of the cruise port staff. I ordered the smoked salmon tartine, which was on lovely bread and had a nice overall flavor. A little messy to eat. My wife had a tomato sandwich with the bread toasted a little too aggressively so the crust was hard to bite off. But tasted good, she said. Also got four cookies to take on board with us. Ship did not have good cookies. Counter service was polite.

This is a pretty cool coffee shop! They have lots to offer from breakfast, lunch, and dinner items. They also have typical morning pastries for most on-the-go customers like me. I had their iced Midsommar latte which had homemade anise caramel topped with fennel and bee pollen. This is a unique blend and something I've never had. It was sweet with peppery notes. I actually like this drink and enjoy every taste. My wife had their iced vanilla latte which was regular tasting but still delicious. Their croissant was pretty decent with a chewy fluffy inside and flaky crust. This place really caters to their specialty breads which is awesome. Next time, I'd love to try their baguette with a side of authentic European butter.

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.

Have been a fan of their business on Alma and super happy that they opened up close by my place! They have pastries, pizza, sandwiches, bread, and some little speciality gifts. Pastries: overall very good but hit or miss sometimes. I've had very good pastries, whereas once I had a super burned sticky bun (the burnt side was placed upside down in the display case) and I wouldn't recommend the lemon poppy cookie. Pizza: tasty and quality ingredients. Only complaint is that toward the middle it gets super soggy. BLT: again good quality ingredients and tasty. It's just very large (slices of bread) and very greasy as I think they butter both sides of the bread. For me it irked my sensory issues lollll but it was good. Caesar salad: tasted fine but a bit warm and soggy. Would prob not get again. Coffee is always good here. It is on the expensive side aka 17 bucks for a sandwich... ~25/30 for a pizza. Pretty typical coffee prices.

I really wanted the OG cookie. The location I normally go to is the one on Alma. However, when I went today, they didn't have any of the OG cookies. *Sad face.* Then, I was told about this location that just opened. They literally just opened. Today was their first day (February 14) and they were definitely busy!!! There's no signage yet, not that I saw, but it's located on the corner of 5th and Harbor. I literally just came for the OG cookie. I made sure to get my fill since I went to two different locations just for them. I wanted to order a drink, also, but they were so busy, and I didn't have time to wait for the drink to be made. Service was good and I definitely will be back.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Love the special flavors they can come up with when new ingredients are available. The Jalapeño bread is delicious and is sometimes hard to get a hold of due to demand. Definitely recommend showing up before 11am to get all the amazing options. The service is friendly and the place well kept. No indoor seating but we take our order and go to the beach.

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...

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.

I remember when colossus opened on Alma. We lived down the street at the time and would walk there. Then they opened their location in LB which I've never been to and now this location on 5th and harbor. I drove by it twice realized it was a coffee shop and made a stop today. I really love the aesthetic part of this shop it's pretty inside. Like an urban , but unique indie style coffee shop. I also appreciate that they have added more to the menu and extended hours. Only giving 4 stars because I didn't care much for the service. The staff were not rude but definitely not lively! Everyone looked as though they had been working since 3 am and were not ready for conversation or answering questions lol, which is understandable for a bakery/coffee shop but I really wanted to give them a Celsius instead of my money. Wasn't a dealbreaker though! It was a relaxing environment to enjoy breakfast. Will try it again. The coffee had good flavor! The breakfast sandwich was so good I called my husband to come and try one on his way home from work. I am happy for the owner of Colossus! I hope she gets to expand to more cities and does well, her bakery has some of the best pastries and sourdough. ‍

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!

Colossus is my husband's favorite bakery. Personally their kougin aman is my favorite in the county and my husband loves their OG chocolate chip cookie. I love this location because it's an easy 15 minutes from my house. I like that they've expanded their menu and have breakfast and pizza at this one during more hours than their other locations. I think one of the owners was there when we had breakfast and he was super attentive to us. They have a few tables outside and we were able to sit with our friends from out of town and our pup. Such a great breakfast I wish my wallet and my waistline could afford to come here every day but we will have to settle for a few times a month.

Thank you Colossus for bringing delicious high quality breads and pastries to San Pedro! As a previous baker I have so much appreciation for cafes that serve fresh breads; I had the savory scone which was extremely flavorful and buttery! I always recommend getting your pastries heated up right before serving!

I stopped here for an early dinner, and was very pleased with the meatballs. There are just three, but they are delicious, and with the sauce and cheese and fennel it ended up being a very satisfying dish. Espresso was really good as well. This new space is ultra modern and minimalistic, but they play lovely music, somewhere between jazz and classical instrumentals. I'm eager to come back for more coffee and a pastry. I was helped by a very friendly, nicely dressed young man. But i noticed that several of the female staff were somewhat careless in their dress and presence. Just an observation.

Soft scramble toast on country was delicious!! The crème fraîche and chives made the eggs creamy, light and fluffy. I'll never eat my eggs any other way again. And dont skip on the buttery and flakey croissants. They were perfectly baked to perfection. I can't wait to try their other delicious pastries! The bakery is tucked away in the corner of a building. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Very aesthetically pleasing cafe with friendly customer service. The girl at the register recommended the chai latte iced with cold foam

Perfect location for brunch and a walk along the San Pedro promenade. The food is delicious, the drinks are excellent. The space is open and inviting, a casual place to relax and enjoy a few meal.

I used to live near their first location on Alma, which is amazing, it just has limited hours and menu. I had always hoped that they would expand to a bigger location nearby (2nd location expanded to LB)... And now, my dreams have come true! San Pedro needed this. It has everything! Tea, coffee, pizza, breakfast. Worth every penny. Enjoy!

Was really looking forward to catching up with a dear friend at Colossus's new location on Harbor Blvd in San Pedro. Unfortunately, the experience was a bit disappointing. The outdoor tables were covered with dirty dishes and trash on the ground, and despite waiting over 30 minutes, no one came to clean up. Service inside wasn't much better. It may have just been an off day, so I'll give it another try in the future -- hoping for a better experience next time.

I've been going to the original one on Alma St for a while but wanted to try the new location because they have a much more diverse menu, including pizza and breakfast sandwiches. I tried their breakfast croissant sandwich and my mind was blown! The croissant is super soft and flakey...the egg was as fluffy as a cloud...the mushrooms I added were out of this world! Not to mention, they have the best honey lavender iced lattes! Great paired! My husband and I have plans to try their artisan pizzas tonight and I'm sure we won't be disappointed! Colossus is one of the best bakeries in town by far, besides hometown gem, Joseph's Bakery.

Colossus Bakery's new spot in San Pedro is a cute retreat WITH seating, so you can sit and enjoy their amazing food and drink cafe-style (was so sad they were forced to lose the tables at their Alma St and Long Beach locations). Their pizza has an amazing a sourdough crust. The coffee drinks and chai latte exceed the expectations of this coffee snob. And the pastries and bread are definitely among the best in the Southbay - and LA at large. As a woman-owned business that genuinely embraces inclusivity, Colossus Bakery makes everyone feel welcome and at home on top of being scrumptious.

I've done takeout pizza via their website ordering three times now and it's always been a very smooth experience and the pizzas have been so good bec the sourdough crust is so plush and the toppings super high quality. I usually get the sausage one or the pepperoni and add sausage and hot honey and a side of their ranch. Nice young lady at the counter and easy parking.

Great new location in downtown Pedro. Came here on a Sunday afternoon and service was good. Ordered a midsommar ice latte and I highly recommend! Beer and wine coming soon to this location. Can't wait.

Additionally, if you're going to order pizza, unless you liked it burned in places, when you order it be sure to tell the cashier that you don't want your pizza overdone and/or scorched in places.

What an amazing place! We live right above Colossus and were looking forward to the opening. First day was wildly busy and it exceeded all of our expectations. Everyone was very sweet despite a million hungry customers there. Best BLT I have EVER had. Already went back this morning!

So thrilled that a place like this has opened up in the area! The other location in San Pedro is more of a storefront, and I was not impressed with service or quality there. But this location couldn't be more different. Lovely ambiance, great service, and reasonable price points. Excited to try their wine selection when that becomes available as well!

Great food and staff. I have never successfully ordered what I wanted because they are always out. Sort of a bummer for people who can't come in at opening.

This was was just as amazing as the other Collosus bakeries we have been to in Long Beach and San Pedro except now they have dinner! First of all the location is awesome because it is right next to all the navy museum and the new walkway just across the street. Inside the restaurant it was filled with fresh baked bread, great pastries, and our breakfast oh my gosh amazing. I am bring my parent back here to try the breakfast sandwhich and potatoes hahaha. I just love it and I am happy San Pedro could attract such an amazing restaurant to the waterfront. I hope more restaurants will come and join them. Ambiance and service were on point and amazing as well. Overall well done!

Service fine, food presentation and description attractive. Main reason I've decided to review is to nudge them to match presentation with actual taste. We had salmon/lox and French omelette plates. Both gorgeous-looking, but far too bland, almost devoid of taste.

So excited to welcome the expanded Colossus into DTSP! I was there day one at the Alma St location, have followed them to Belmont Shores, and am so excited to see them expand their offerings here in SP! We came to try the pizza (2 adults 1 kid) and ordered 2 pizzas. They are much larger than I expected, so excellent value for the price. My only suggestion is maybe a little less crust? Parts of our pizzas were almost 1/3 crust, which is a lot with the sourdough style. Very bready. But flavor was awesome! Some kinks with the wood fired oven and even cooking, but I guarantee that will be sorted out. Haven't tried it at this location, but at BS, their BLT is one you will dream of. Even off season, they manage to make the tomatoes the star, and it's divine. Please try it!!!
