Colson Patisserie

The best coffee store in town. I don't drink coffee, but the tea there is amazing. I received a standard medium black tea for $4. In addition, they exclude any sweetener, so make sure to add your own sugar (I learnt the hard way). As I was buying my lunch, Jeff Buckley's "Lover, you should've come over" came on, and I nearly collapsed in heartbreak. The vibes are calm and composed. The music is neither excessively loud nor inaudibly quiet. Indoor seating is also convenient, with a limited number of tables but enough of space to do assignments.

I recently ordered catering from this place -- enough boxed hot coffee and mini-pastry platters for about 70 people. The pastries were delicious and the coffee was pretty good too! Their staff was responsive by email and answered all my questions, e.g. helping us figure out the right quantity for the order. They also hooked us up with napkins, sugar packets, etc. so that we had everything we needed for our party. I absolutely recommend their catering service!

The time just labeling French to attract clients is over. The regular croissants are okay, but they are really too salty. They taste more like frozen traditional croissants rather than fresh butter croissants. The baguettes resemble the shape of a classic baguette, but that’s about it. The flour has a taste that seems to be a mix of white and whole grain, and they are excessively salty, likely to mask a strong flavor. Additionally, they are not crispy. This experience was quite disappointing, and I cannot recommend these items.

I went in knowing I can’t drink cold coffee so I really tried to stop myself from getting an iced coffee so I went with a waffle and a hot chocolate and I’m so glad I did ❣️ the barista was so sweet and kind she said to me she made my chocolate interesting I believe, sorry I was in my thoughts, and I look and “Awww 🥹” and thanked her. It was so cute and it made my day! The little things 💗 I liked her cute pink bandana and sweatershirt! If you read this thank you 💖

Really good latte and pastries! 💯recommended!

Always solid. What else do you need to know? If you like financier or even thought about trying/liking them then you have to get the teddy bear financiers here. They’re sooooo good! I have to fight off the urge of buying Colson every time I go to Industry City these days. The smell from their kitchen is like a siren’s song

Easily one of the most popular bakeries in Park Slope, and well known in Brooklyn. Makes a fine and strong chai latte, offers many fresh cookies and pastries, and has some yummy breads to grab to go. The kid was always a fan of the bear cookie. Sweet spot.

Food (4/5): - I got the cheese danish and the cheddar chive biscuit - The cheese danish was so surprisingly delicious. I'm normally not a fan of danishes but this had the right amount of sweetness, crisp, and cheesy flavor. Highly recommend - Cheddar chive was good to try at least once but I probably would not crave for it. It is cheesy and a bit spicy. Service (4.5/5): - No complaints - Standard service Ambiance (4/5): - Cute little coffee shop with limited seating - Great for grab and go but I can imagine this place not being so great for meeting up with friends just bc of the limited seating

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!

Excellent almond croissant with a crunchy double baked exterior and a lush and creamy marzipan center. I was also very impressed with their banana muffin. Delectably moist. It is more reminiscent of a banana bread with whole walnuts baked throughout and which only uses bananas for sweetness.

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.

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.

Like most coffee shops, they are patronized by locals of the neighborhood and possibly see themselves as part it. On returning to Brooklyn after a six month absence, I'm looking forward to a pleasant coffee and treat but first things first as I head for the restroom. I'm immediately told I'm an undesirable and need to leave. I live in this upscale neighborhood and I'm sad to see the vocal representative of this business puts other interests above a sense of community. It's not a place to which I will return.

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.

After seeing a friend display her tour of various NYC bakeries on social media, I quickly added Colson Patisserie to the list. When I tried it recently, I was impressed by the array of baked goods on display. It was hard to choose, but I ended up sampling one of my pastry faves: an almond croissant. The croissant was flaky and had a great amount of almond filling. I thought it was a great version of this treat, and I would definitely order it again. I also got to try the teddy bear financier, which had an excellent almond flavor and a chewy texture that I really liked. Their danishes were also good, and out of all the pastries I tried, I did not find one dud in the bunch!

I love bakeries and I wanted to love this one, as it was just a half a block from where we were staying. But the pasty was just mediocre. Was it baked the day before? The dough was lacking flakiness, and butteryness and I actually had to pop it in the microwave to bring it back to life. So no, I want be going back.

Best muffins I've had. Banana Walnut muffins to be precise. All the other coffee spots get them from Colson. The chocolate chip scone, vanilla donut, and almond croissant are great. Staff is lovely.

Just amazing all around! Couldn't love the environment, food, and coffee any more! Very happy to spend my money here!

A really great bakery that offers a wonderful assortment of both sweet and savory baked goods: croissants, almond croissants, chocolate-almond croissants, and more. They have a "vegan muffin", which they call a "Morning Glory" muffin. I got addicted to them before I found out they are vegan. Wow - who knew? (Not me!) It is really, really great. Their brownies are really good as well. Chewy and chocolatey. Yum. The drive to Park Slope is a little long for me, so I was thrilled to learn that other places offer Colson's products: PRIME GRIND (corner of Beverly and Rogers) in East Flatbush has a lot of Colson products. This makes it almost too easy for me to get my Colson fix, just a few blocks from where I live.

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.

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.

Why did you guys change the shape of your cheddar chive biscuit? It's a biscuit not a pancake... My morning ritual will never be the same. :(

I visited this business today around 3pm. It has been saved on my Yelp 'places to go' for quite some time for some good croissants. Unfortunately when I got there around 3, there wasn't much left available for purchase. This wasn't the problem, the problem was the girl working behind the counter who made it seem like i was inconveniencing her for even walking in. She had an attitude and did not seem like she wanted to be at work or serve me. With prices going up everywhere i have zero tolerance for businesses that do not provide good service. There was one matcha loaf left that did look appetizing, but I refuse to spend my money on a business that does not treat you decently. This was my first time here and my last time. Management really needs to look into the employees that they are hiring because workers that do not provide good customer service will kill your business especially with Yelp being available for the people to have a voice.

Colson Patisserie has a location in Park Slope (this one) but also a larger one in Industry City. It's a cute cafe/patisserie in a the neighborhood with I was told by a worker once that the most popular item is the bear cookie. It's a coconut cookie, but it's not crispy/crunchy - rather it has a slight crisp on the outside (like toasted/baked exterior) but is soft in the inside. You can definitely taste the coconut but it's not overwhelming. I liked it much more than I thought I would! I expected it to be like a classic cookie which it wasn't. The other pastries are good too. I'm a bit picky with my croissants and like them very flaky and buttery but theirs is not bad. I have not had their coffee yet though but will need to try some time!

Picked up a waffle to go. Consistency of the wake was pretty good. Had some crunchy and sweet bits inside was added an interesting contrast. Service was quick.

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.

I am writing in regarding to always cold coffee and I was told by the worker I am always complaining about the coffee it's nevery hot enough once the milk is added and they mention to steam the milk my response was it upset my stomach the gentleman who seems to be in charge ask me to leave the store and not return how dare he he will s not a great person to deal with I mention I am a paying customer and you need to adjust St your temp dorothysworld1981@gmail.com

This French bakery makes a surprisingly good iced matcha and matcha latte. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, but I like pairing something sweet with a drink that's bitter and ideally caffeinated, so the matcha is usually my go-to here. The pastry display case can give you a case of Indecision. You go in thinking you'll get a croissant, then see five other flaky things that look just as good if not better. As a result of my constant waffling when I'm in here, I've gotten the Belgian waffle twice, forgetting that it was just OK. The vanilla donut is pretty good too. Haven't found that one pastry to write home about, but I'll keep coming back.

I know this place has a large neighborhood following but their customer service is the worst. The staff is pretentious and rude. It feels like they go out of their way to give customers attitude. I watched them ask a woman with a baby in a carrier wait outside in the rain the other day. I understand they are limiting people due to COVID but it was raining hard, come on. The coffee is mediocre although I do like their croissants. There are so many other coffee shops in the area I would pass this one by if I were you.

This is my buddy's local coffee shop. I am not a coffee drinker but I was happy to see that not only did they have iced tea available but I could 'Palmer' any of their tea choices. I picked the green tea as my base and it was tasty but gone in like, three seconds. I definitely am a big sipper but I thought it was a little on the small side. I also tried their apple galette though which had that balance of sweet/tart while still being slightly crisp but balanced with the rich, buttery flakiness.

There's something so wonderful about coffee and pastries in Brooklyn. Colson was recommended to us by our AirBnB hosts and it did not disappoint. A few minutes walk from where we were staying, Colson is a small but homey patisserie with pastries overflowing behind the counter. We had such a hard time picking just a few to try, but ended up getting a croissant, a ham and cheese croissant and a mini cherry pie. We also got some tea and an iced latte. I feel like you could never go wrong getting something from here. The pastries were flaky and tasty and so good! My sister, who recently traveled to Paris, said the croissants rivaled the ones she had in France. I don't know how accurate that really is, but the pastries are pretty amazing. The latte was also delicious! A little nutty but not bitter, and smooth. Our only regret was not getting to try any of the other goodies (ummm, crusty baguettes? Cakes? Scones!)!

As a big fan of all things coffee and pastries, I had to stop by on my last visit to Park Slope. It was so hard to choose what to get, it all looked so good! If I had a bigger wallet I'd have tried one of each pastry. I ended up getting a scone and an almond croissant, as well as an iced latte. The latte was the perfect balance of coffee-bitterness and creaminess from the milk. And the almond croissant was so delicious, with layers of flaky pastry and a sweet almond filling interior. The scone was good as well, though I liked the croissant so much I think that's what I'd get again if I go back.

Colson Patisserie is located a bit off the main drag in Park Slope. This beautiful corner bakery has a bright, welcoming exterior complete with big windows that show off baked goods in the window tempting all those who walk by. When you enter there is a bit of a narrow entrance. You go in, hang a right then hang a left to get to the counter. The counter is just as bright and welcoming as the exterior. When the sunlight pours in the light wood colors and bright tile are super pretty. My favorite pastry is the Teddy Bear Financier which is exactly what it sounds like. This palm sized, teddy bear shaped Financier is absolutely delicious. It is the perfect combination of ;chewy, soft with crisp edges and sweet flavor. Also a shout out for the Sweet Brioche rolls which are chewy (read: not dry) and delicious. There is not a lot of seating here, so if you want to sit on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, prepare to wait. It is not unusual to see a line going out the door waiting to order. Still, I think it is worth it and I know I'll be back!

A cute French pastry shop where everything looks delicious so I have to hold back and get my one breakfast item and teddy bear financiers. Always look forward to being near here for annual camp drop off and pickup. The scones are our top choice though if it were afternoon it would be something more dessert like.

Have heard about this place for so long. And walked past this place and wondered for so long. Finally had a chance to stop by with friends. The pastry were varied, fresh looking, clean and delicious looking (and they were)! I got a little bit of everything: brioche, rasberry financier, rasberry donuts, apple galette, ham and cheese sandwich, and tumeric latte. It was indeed fresh and delicious. ~$30, small seating. Nice and clean interior/staff.

A cute Patisserie! A small little place with 4 small tables. Free WiFi for laptop bring-ers! I wouldn't feel too comfortable bringing my laptop to work here though because it's such a cozy shop that people are coming in and out fairly quickly and looking for a table to enjoy their treats! I do enjoy their pastries! Not too sweet and not too buttery. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. The scones are more on the dry side rather than the Cakey side and the croissants and apple turnovers are flakey but not crumbling all over your shirt as you take a bite. They also serve sandwiches and have catering options. I'm on a coffee break at the time of this writing so I can't tell you about the coffee except that it smells delicious! The coffee prices are standard - 3$ to 5$ depending on what you order. Leave tips in the tip jar! The staff has always been pleasant. It's located across the park slope public library - grab a good book, and your coffee from Colson!

Excellent espresso coffee, with non-dairy milk options (soy, oat, almond). Lots of yummy pastries (croissants, muffins, brownies, cookies, doughnuts) including some vegan and gluten free items. Because of Covid-19, you can't sit indoors, but they have a bench outside where you can sit. They've really closed off the inside such that literally only one customer can go inside, which is a cool way of enforcing distancing, although if you have a stroller or whatever it's quite awkward. Contactless Carr payments, and they have hand sanitizer. About as safe as you can get! Support local businesses :)

Hard dry raisin roll. I wouldn't get it again. I'm not sure how everything else was, but it didn't seem that great. I can't say for sure.

Coffee is always excellent. Friendly helpful staff. Convenient location, and there is plenty of seating in the lounge and outdoors. Just a cute area.

I've had this spot bookmarked for some time and was in the area. I left my appointment to grab some coffee and a pastry since they were taking too long to call me. I ordered an iced latte with simple syrup and a couple of pastries. Before I even left the cafe the latte was leaking from somewhere. I wiped under the rim of the lid and left. As I'm crossing the street I feel more coffee leaking. After I see it's all over my leggings, my shirt & my sneakers which all were mostly white. I sat on the bench across the street to adjust the lid and it continued to leak so I tossed the whole latte and went back to my appointment as they were calling me to tell me I'm next. I just figured I'd leave a review about what happened and move on but I realized I should give them an opportunity to rectify the situation especially since I was still in the area. So I called them after my appointment to tell them I had to dump my whole drink after it was leaking over my clothes. They told me to come in and get a new drink and even offered me a pastry on the house. I purchased some raspberry financiers to show my appreciation. Everything I had I thoroughly enjoyed but I'd suggest a different lid. My second drink leaked but not as bad as the first one.

Nice staff. Delicious pastry. Had the vanilla cream and a raspberry filled donuts. The staff was helpful and kind. Strict Covid protocols with only 3 people allowed in at a time. No eating inside.

Love Colson! My son is obsessed with their flaky croissant and i love their almond croissant because it actually has a lot of almond paste inside. I've tried many things here and nothing ever disappoints. During Prime morning time, be prepared for a line out the door.

Just. Delicious. You really can't say much more about this sweet little baker but that. Their coffee is really good, iced coffee as well. But the real treasures hide behind glass at the counter. Croissants, Cakes, Muffins you name it. Be it a german Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte or a creamy cake with earl grey extract - these guys really know what they're doing. But don't visit TOO often - you might get fat ;) This stuff is irresistible.

I really like this place as they have some of the few decent breakfast sandwiches in the area. EXCEPT, I came in for a quiche and they MICROWAVE them. That's no way to serve a decent quiche. The crust was the same consistency as the squishy eggs. How do I know they microwave their quiches? Because it came out soggy, 45 seconds after I ordered it.

I come every weekday morning when they open for a latter and occasionally their pastries. Everything I've tried has been great, I see them coming out with fresh pastries every morning. I am a huge fan of their Suisse? Brioche and croissants. The only thing I don't love from here is their waffles because of the large pieces of sugar in it, I know many Belgium waffles are made this way, but it is personally not my presences. I love the strong espresso taste in their coffees and lattes. If you're someone that likes their coffee strong, this is the place for you! They Brew Brooklyn roasting company's beans. Their salads and quiches are also good, I've had the Lorraine quiche? This comes with a side salad and is packed with flavor. I've tried their avocado salad, I love the lemons dressing this comes with!

Dear park slope parents: it is kinda rude to come to a small crowded space with your spoiled, loud children ON A SUNDAY when people come to chill and have coffee... it's loud outside all the time and one needs a lil peace. Good for you for staying in the city & start a family but there's bigger family spots around, just how smokers have to stand outside bc the smoke bothers... so does your squealing child. Sorry

Brooklyn's version of the Belgian bakery of the same name. French born film-maker trained with the culinary creator Hubert in Belgium to bring us this high level bakery. I rediscovered this corner patisserie on Sunday after a long absence. Originally there, upon opening, the bakery has come a long way baby and the baked goods look absolutely gorgeous. Traditional pastries, scones, breads, brioches, and cookies. A chocolate chip cookie was super-fine and one of the finest around. Almond/chocolate croissant was also well done. Worth exploring more. 9th Street is a little bakery block with both Colson and Almondine bakery on the same block.

One of Brooklyns BEST bakeries!!! The gluten free, vegan muffins are some of the best vegan pastries I've had in the 5 boroughs

A great local bakery. I started going there for the pear tart, and now this is one of my favorite places for challah. Their coffee is great too, and the staff is helpful and friendly.

I came in this afternoon and I just wanted to say that the staff here is so kind! They have the most beautiful smiles. I highly recommend coming here, they easily made my day today.

Awesome local go-to park slope coffee shop. Hypes: - coffee - from drip to lattes (and i'm a huge latte snob/fan) - its very good. They take their time making their drinks - pastries - croissants are legit, the Belgian waffle is their specialty (i wish I had it warm though), and the donuts estan delicioso. Gripes: - Small tight space - definitely gets crowded on the weekends, especially mornings - with strollers and people and lines out the door. not your place to sit and enjoy your cup of coffee at times. just grab and go.

My go-to place every time I'm around Park Slope! Even if just for their great coffee, though their pastries and sandwiches are pretty awesome too! In particular I loved the Green Goddess sandwich! Service is very welcoming and hospitable.

I think I'm in trouble because I've just had the BEST almond chocolate croissant in my life. It was recommended to me by a sweet lady at the Park Slope food coop and I am hooked! It tastes like sweet and soft marzipan mixed in with rich dark chocolate. So yum! The brownies here are also delicious. So good and simple! I think that probably everything is so good here.

This eatery has an attractive presentation of fresh, delectable pastries. The first visit was a test; I didn't know what to expect. I opted for an almond croissant and I was in seventh heaven. The taste was so delightful that the rest of my day was great. Because of that almond croissant. My second visit I ordered a Spinach sandwich which consisted of egg whites only (1 dollar extra), cheddar cheese and roasted tomatoes on 7-grain bread. Staff was cheerful like it was her birthday. She was very nice and told me the wait wouldn't be too long. Which it wasn't since it wasn't that busy. After eight minutes, my sandwich was ready. They have seating but I couldn't stay. As I walked outside, I opened my sandwich. While walking, I closed my eyes as I took a bite and I wanted to cry. The sandwich was as tasty as it looked. I had to stop walking to eat this sandwich. Even a patron was walking by and said with a smile, "It's good, eh?" I just nodded because I couldn't talk. My mouth was full. The price for the sandwich was actually a bit high though; it was around 10 something As much as this place can be my new addiction, I would only visit during special occasions aka when I have extra money to spend.

Damn expensive. I'm so sick of New York and these ridiculously inflated prices. But. These treats were so daggone good. I got the teddy, king cake, waffle, flourless chocolate cake. They all were good. I would highly recommend this place for a nice treat. I also got an oat latte. Probably won't get that again because the small is ridiculously small. But I'd definitely go back for the treats. Mmmmmm
