Colossal Cafe - Pancakes with cinnamon apples and walnuts and Brie, oh my! And avocado toast with pork belly and a perfectly poached egg. - American Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Solid omelettes. My dad and I stopped here for breakfast today and I was very satisfied with our meal. I had a sausage omelette with some pretty amazing house habanero, pineapple hot sauce and my dad had the same. Both were cooked perfectly and had nice little dab of sour cream on top. Service was quick and friendly. Bonuses for me they have sparkling water on tap with plenty of limes. They also seemed to have a plentiful selection of fresh baked items. Certainly worth a stop in! read more

I've driven past here my whole life and finally stopped in today. I got the chicken breast sandwich and it was to die for. The bun, the chicken, it was all perfect and the basil Parmesan aïoli I would literally buy gallons of. My mother got the pork shoulder burrito bowl and she's says the combo of ingredients was outstanding. 10/10 will be coming back read more

Though Colossal does it all well, the pancakes are (in my opinion) the notable star. They are made with a special recipe that involves yeast, which, turns out, makes for an outstanding and unique pancake. The house-made biscuits are also ridiculously good. Parking is easy, but dining area is on the smaller side so you might have to wait. Well worth it though. read more

I went to Colossal Cafe for breakfast. If you are looking for a more relaxing cafe with simple but delicious breakfast food, I recommend this place. The pancakes are HUGE and fluffy. They also have a variety of breakfast sandwiches if you are looking for a cheaper option. I had the prosciutto with sundried tomatoes sandwich on whole wheat bread. All of the ingredients were very fresh and flavorful. As a side note, I was too full for dessert but they also offered a variety of cakes, cinnamon rolls, and other sweets. Needless to say, I will definitely be going back to try more! read more

No table service Bomb ass biscuits and gravy Die screaming baby Driven past this place for quite sometime now. Very glad that I finally stopped in. Walked in and it was pretty crowded for about 1PM on a Wednesday. Sat down at table near the window. Waited quite awhile for someone to come to the table and give us a menu. Took awhile to figure out that you order up at the counter and pay up front. Once the food was ordered, it came out pretty quick. The biscuits and gravy with two eggs was excellent. Some of the best I have had, but it has been quite awhile since I have had any. Co-worker went with the Colossal Breakfast (toast, eggs, hash browns, bacon) and was as pleased with the food as I was. Couple next to us both got some kind of chicken sandwich which also looked really good. Just kidding, screaming baby. However, you were wearing on my last nerve. Please stay out of this place in the future. read more

The St. Paul Colossal Cafe was a surprise in all the best ways. My mom and I had brunch here last Saturday and I now desperately wish I lived in the neighborhood. This cafe is so cute it makes me want to pinch its cheeks.** I know the food is fantastic at the other location, so THAT wasn't the surprise. Unlike the 612 location, this is not a dive and it's not so tiny that the only option is takeout. It's an order-first cafe with breakfast, lunch and now... da-da-da-daaa---dinner! They started dinner service yesterday. On a busy Saturday morning, there was a happy community vibe to the place. We chatted briefly with our table neighbors and even the staff was incredibly friendly. So many smiles. We came at the end of the brunch rush, so thankfully we were able to loiter and chat at our table (for a ridiculously long time) without any dirty looks. The design of the restaurant is beautiful and they really paid attention to details. For example, there's this long table in the back that can be curtained off for private dinners. And there's an open kitchen with bar seating. And the bathroom has this gorgeous subway tile. And there's a water tap for regular AND bubbly water on the self-serve station. WHAT is this wizardry? I love fancy water. But you only care about the food, right? Well, it's delicious and the breakfast sandwiches are a surprisingly good value. My mom ordered an $8 bacon-green onion-cream cheese omelette and I got the egg-bacon-cheddar sandwich on toast (they bake the bread in-house; you can also get the sandwich on flappers or biscuits), plus coffee and extra-crispy hashbrowns for $3 because it was that kinda morning. Mmm... bacon. My sandwich was only $5 and it was about as big as the omelette, just inside the buttery, fresh-baked toast instead outside. This sandwich is definitely a keeper... as is this entire cafe. I have to give up the five stars for a place that does made-from-scratch SO well. **You can thank Alexis M for that line. read more

Cash only. Only 6ish tables.Cramped quarters. Pretty good food. Arrived at around 10:30am on a Sunday morning and it was packed. This place accepts cash only which is rather inconvenient especially since there's no ATM in the building. But perhaps I'm fairly imposing my Los Angeles expectations on a smaller midwest town. PLaces in LA that are cash only usually have an ATM inside their building in order to accommodate those of us who don't carry cash. We ordered the spinach and blue cheese scone which was delicious. I ordered the prosciutto and swiss breakfast sandwich ($6.95) which was a bit of a let down because the prosciutto seemed like it was ham rather than prosciutto. Food was good, but the restaurant is too cramped for me. read more

Came here for a late brunch on a weekday and it was still extremely busy. I chose a spot at the bar just so I could be seated more quickly but it was actually kind of nice to be up where the action was. The server was quick to offer coffee/tea to help get me through the rest of the morning which is always a plus. Loved the homey, welcoming vibe of the venue and the staff. While the specials looked amazing, I opted to go for the fried egg sandwich with prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes, and swiss cheese on the highly-recommended biscuit. Added a side of avocado to add the sandwich since I was hungrier than usual. It took a while for the food to come back but I assumed that was because it was busier. Unfortunately, it came on sourdough bread instead of a biscuit by accident which was still good but I wanted to try more of the food that they were known for. They also forgot to put in my order for a side salad but were quick to get it once I let them know. All in all, the food was savory, well-prepared, and paired flavors well so my hunger was happily fulfilled. Would be interested to come back and try some of their specials or check out some of the lunch items. read more

Anybody who knows me understands my deep affection for brunch and all that it offers. Thusly, they also know my craving for a better brunch place in the twin cities. My friend recently put me on to Colossal Café and I now have it in my regular rotation. They simply do brunch really well and I would guess dinner too, but I have yet to try that. However, I am so impressed with their brunch that I am going to write them a stellar review anyways. For one, the artichoke frittata is amazing and full of the green gold that is virgin olive oil. They have probably the best biscuits and gravy in town which features really awesome sausage gravy. Lastly they have this amazing toast that comes with many of their dishes. I don't know how you improve on toast, but I think it may involve more extra virgin olive oil and a really hot oven. Now so you understand how the process works, their brunch service is a cafeteria style. That does differ from their dinner which is traditional table waiting from what I understand. The atmosphere is a casual rustic café with a more upscale feel. This is no dive café for hipsters but rather fancy casual brunch for your preppy liberal. So get brunch this weekend at Colossal Café as their toast is magnificent and their sausage gravy hearty. After all, a Sunday without brunch is rather not like a Sunday at all and will leave your weekend feeling wasted and unfulfilling. Perhaps that is just how I feel about it, but regardless did I mention giant cinnimon rolls? read more

I really thought the food at Colossal was very good. All the things you'd expect from a place that touts local, fresh and from-scratch-cooked food. However, the restaurant leaves something to be desired in terms of making things easy and comfortable for guests. I guess part of it is that the space is just too small for the amount of traffic this place does. But I really think they ought to consider revising their system to make things easier for guests. OK, so specifics... The food was great. We were lured by yummy breakfast deliciousness and solid reviews here on Yelp. My husband got the brie apple and walnut pancakes and I got the biscuits and gravy. The pancakes were very dense and yeasty, in a good way. I wish we'd know just how heavy they are, though. The short stack of two would definitely have sufficed. We loved the idea of this stack of pancakes, but wished the apples had been cut up smaller, the walnuts had been chopped instead of whole and that the brie cheese had been somehow prepared in a different more bite-sized way rather than just sticking two thick slices of brie on top of the pile. The flavors were amazing but no big points for ease of eating with this dish. Tasty, though. The biscuits and gravy was also truly yummy with delicious sausage gravy and a big fat biscuit. I will say that I thought the biscuit was pretty heavy too, not flaky. But still tasty. And the poached eggs on top were 100% perfect. Saw a plate of homefries go by and wished we'd ordered some. So food wise, really high marks. We will definitely come back just on the merits of the food. Now for the system... as newcomers and first-time visitors, we found the whole thing really odd. You walk in, get in line and place your order at the counter. You are handed a mug for coffee if you ordered some and a street sign (ok, a stand with a little paper version of a street sign) that serves as your calling card. Then you proceed to stand around awkwardly where there's nowhere to really stand while trying not to get in the way of other people and also not hover obnoxiously over people who are actually seated and eating food. We waited about half an hour before an employee found us via our street sign, sat us at a table and then we waited another 10 minutes or so for food. The fact that you serve yourself both coffee and water added to the chaos since there were constantly people getting up and down from the tables to get refills. In all, it just seems really weird and confusing for people. I think that with the volume this place does, it might be in order to consider table service with a hostess and a waiting list that is more traditional but also a lot more clear and leaves those patrons lucky enough to have a seat at a table the chance to actually enjoy their food without feeling like everyone around them is staring at them and urging them to eat faster. i am not sure that this place ever has a down time, but if it does, that would be the time to come and grab a most enjoyable bite to eat. But if it's 11 a.m. on a weekend, be prepared to deal with people and have some patience. The food may still be worth it, but as a lover of things that are easy, visiting this restaurant does not make my list for hassle-free dining. Take it for what you will. read more

One of the best cafe in Twin cities I've ever been! I would score this cafe as; -Atmosphere of the restaurant: 5 -Surroundings environment: 5 -Quality of the food: 5 -Cost performance: 5 My mom and I came here for late lunch together, both of us wanted to take pancakes so she took apple, walnut, and brie flappers, and I took the ordinal flappers to compare the taste of these two. We decided to take the short stuck (2 pancakes) since we usually cannot eat a lot, however our choice was not still right...The flappers were huge and thick so we couldn't finish them, even the half of them! It was happy surprise when the waiter brought us the dishes. It was HUGE!!! Also we were surprised at the texture and the taste of flappers. It was soft and fluffy. We liked it a lot! Of course the taste was very good. I liked the cinnamon flavor of the syrup with grazed apples and walnut. The combination of the taste with salty and sweet was really good. After tasting this special flappers, the ordinal flapper seemed boring a bit. But it was a great lunch. The tip I should note for you is, bring back the flappers to home by box, the tastes and texture of the pancake goes bad quickly, and it's very disappointing. So I would say you should order smaller size and finish it all! read more

The first time I went, I wasn't impressed at all. We waited 45 minutes, received bad service and the food was subpar. However, we went there again for the first in months and were incredibly surprised. Their apple, brie and walnut pancakes are delicious and decadent. Their sausage omelette with pepper jack cheese is hearty and full of flavor. The place is smaller, so expect a longer wait on the weekends but overall, pretty good food and service. read more

Outstanding service and excellent food. Came down to the final four and stopped in for breakfast wow, I took home half my meal and it was still delicious. The two hostesses were very friendly and clear of what to eat and the place is clean and cozy. I highly recommend to anyone that is hungry or just want a good meal. 5 Star read more

I had been wanting to stop in to check this little spot out for a while since the Minneapolis location is always jam packed and I've always enjoyed the food, but with this location I think the bakery is different and not in a good way. I had the chocolate "croissant" and there's no way you can call the thing that was on my plate a croissant. A pastry-sure, I'll reluctantly give it that label. But this thing weighed 3 pounds-croissants are supposed to be light and flaky! Either way though it was only ok and I could only take about three bites. It's filled with half a jar of Nutella, and there is this raspberry syrup drizzled on top (and I THINK there was some inside, but I couldn't say for sure because I was wading through too much Nutella) that really put it into the "so over the top sweet that I can't even cut it with black coffee" realm. Bottom line-pretty in the case and on the plate, and it might sound like a good idea, but it's not a must-have or a have ever again in my case! My recommendation to patrons: stick to the good, tried and true menu, skip the bakery all together and you'll probably be happy. My recommendation to Colossal: get a baker who knows what a croissant really is! P.S. The seating system is the same as at the other locations, and while I agree it's a little obnoxious, at least if you go in prepared for it you won't be disappointed! read more

Colossal Cafe - "Croissant?" Not in a million years! - American Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The name is appropriate for the portion sizes. This is a great breakfast spot, especially if you're seeking to start off your day well fed. One tip is to know what you want quickly so that you lessen your wait time. Also, the St. Paul location is bigger (a smidgen less postage stamp) than the Minneapolis location. If you don't mind rubbing shoulders with strangers, the "bar" can decrease your wait time over a table. They are very good at egg-white omelets and perfectly cooked bacon, which is what I had. They also featured adult head-sized cinnamon rolls, but I'm not ambitious enough to even go there. Maybe if I were with four other friends, I may have gone for it. This is a neighborhood gem that doesn't disappoint. Give it a try. read more

I always try to get the "signature" item when visiting a new place, so I ordered the Apple Walnut Brie flappers (short stack). They were pretty good though I could only eat one. I asked for the toppings on the side so I could take leftovers without them being soggy. Anyway, the toppings were full of whole, crunchy walnuts and so yummy. The flapper itself wasn't quite what I was expecting, but still good. If I were to go back I'd probably get a more traditional breakfast. The toast looked great and the biscuit sandwiches look killer. read more

Just got back from lunch at Colossal Cafe with my mom. First off, the location is perfect, I love St. Anthony Park (plus it's close to my work). The inside is modern, yet cozy. You order at the counter and then servers bring the food to your table. The menu is fairly small and consists mainly of breakfast dishes like omelets and breakfast sandwiches, as well as soups, salad and other sandwiches. I decided to go with the ham, cheese and egg breakfast sandwich on toast. I was a little hesitant to try the flapper after reading a review that said the flapper wasn't fully cooked on the breakfast sandwich, plus the girl at the counter told me the bread for the toast was a sourdough made in house. The food came out reasonably quick, and the sandwich is a good portion size. You get a lot of ham and egg, and the toast was quite good. My only complaint is that it seemed a little greasy, like they buttered the bread too much before putting it on the griddle. We also ordered one of their strawberry scones to share. I'm a sucker for scones. The scones at Colossal Cafe are moist and tender, but to be honest, I like mine a little sweeter. I think this scone could have used more strawberry and perhaps some white chocolate chips. I did enjoy the cinnamon, and the scone kind of reminded me of a snickerdoodle. read more

Believe the hype - this place is super tasty, super cute, and pretty damn cheap for the quality! I ordered the artichoke frittata with onions and feta. TASTY. Oh so tasty. A little greasy (olive oil?) but I'd definitely get it again. The two slices of lovely toasted bread went great with it as well. The bf and my buddy both got the biscuits and gravy...YUM. What really caught my eye though was the lovely bowls of soup sitting behind us! Yes, behind us. I was staring. Not sure what it was, something with beans, but I will definitely be back to try some of their soups out since I am the epitome of a soup snob and those bowls looked beyond worthy of being in my belly. I can see how it probably gets packed on the weekends, and since it IS a really small establishment, won't be back to try Colossal again then...but a weekday? For sure! read more

I was meeting a friend who lives in St. Paul from breakfast. Not living in be area/having limited familiarity with the area, I was at her mercy. She recommended this place and after looking at the reviews, I obliged. We got there at around 9. You walk in, stand in line to order and then grab a table. Not a huge fan of this concept, but whatever works I guess. I got the egg and cheese sandwich on the buttermilk biscuit, and based on my friend's recommendation, I also had to order the colossal cinnamon roll. I was not disappointed with my choices! The buttermilk biscuit was amazing. The cinnamon roll was probably, no, definitively the best I've ever had. Did we ever come at the right time, arriving at 9. Once we sat down and got out food, there was a line OUT THE DOOR of people trying to order food. At that point it became survival of the fittest when trying to get a table. This made us feel kind of rushed because we felt bad that there were so many people waiting. Probably one of the only few downside to this place. read more

The s'mores cheesecake was also really good. read more

When you see a line going out the door, you know you have found something worth trying, so I decided to not let the busyness keep me away. It's my fault going on a Sunday morning but I digress... Surprisingly I got to the order counter pretty quickly, but that could have been that people in front of me were waiting for the rest of there party. I got the ham, swiss, and hash brown omelette, and it took about ten minutes to come out, which honestly was faster then expected with how busy it was. It was really tasty, and was cooked pretty much perfectly, the ham was flavorful and there was lots off it! I think I would suggest going at a non peak time if you don't like crowds, otherwise, don't miss this place! read more

I was very pleasantly surprised, I assumed this would be a general breakfast spot with limited selections... but those selections were awesome! I'm more of a brunch so I ended up getting the grilled cheese and cup of French onion soup, hubby was confused why I would order just a grilled cheese but this is a yummy toasted bread, warm gooey Brie, apples and caramelized onions grilled cheese... and it was delicious! I could have probably scaled back on the amount of onions but it was super tasty.... the French onion soup was so good! The only thing that confused me was the cheese that was missing from my soup.... either way I ate it cus it was yummy! The hubs went with the sweet potatoes onion and Brussel sprout hash and we got the pancakes with fruit to share/try... the hash is mindblowingly delicious! The Brussel sprouts just bring it to a whole new level! Now on to pancakes- by that time we were so stuffed but they are amazing! They're yeasty so a little heavier then your usual pancake but I'd get them every time! The maple syrup is warm, flowy and real! The only down side is that no one ever came by to grab the empty plates. read more

This cute, quaint cafe was awesome. The seating was a bit hectic but it was a late Saturday, brunch time of day. Like just about every restaurant and visit these days, I found it through yelp. I was in search of pancakes. And just any old pancakes won't do for me. I can't help it, I'm a foodie! The Apple Bree Walnut pancakes on the menu is what caught my eye and made me give this place a try. While the pancake satisfied my desire for a gourmet flapjack, my daughters Bacon/cream cheese/green onion omelette was freaking awesome! And my other daughters chicken sandwich was...Lacking in gourmet goodness that was displayed in the pancake and omelette. But would be perfect for someone who likes just plain grilled chicken sandwich with not a lot of flavor. And it came with a side salad. Healthy. Over all when I return to try this place again? Absolutely! They had some scrumptious looking cupcakes that I'm kicking myself for not getting one! read more

I regret not ordering breakfast and getting a sandwich for lunch instead. I had just arrived at MSP and was looking for a place to have lunch that was on the way to our destination. This café popped up on a list of must-visit places in the area, so we swung by with about 40 minutes left until closing. I asked the cashier what she recommended to eat and she listed the Cubano sandwich and the salad of the week. All four of our party got the Cubano sandwich with side salads and two of us got black coffee. It was a pretty tasty and filling sandwich but nothing unusual from a standard Cuban sandwich. I wished the meat wasn't split side by side rather stacked on top of each other. The bread was the best part of the sandwich; great crust and perfect density. The coffee was also fine, not the best. Although we arrived just before closing time, the staff was very friendly and didn't rush us in any way. Cute interior with a decent amount of seating. read more

I love breakfast food, but my deal is if I can make it at home I will not purchase it. I tend to pick more complicated breakfast dishes. Food: I decided to give the Fritatta a try. It comes with artichokes, spinach, green onions and feta served on toasted bread. It was basically scrambled eggs with the ingredients mixed with it and the artichoke was overwhelming. The jam was homemade and it was the best jam I have ever had, hands down. You must try their jam with their toast, it was the best part of my meal. Service: You pay up front, you get a number sign and they bring their food to you. Easy and if you prefer not to be bothered, this would be the place for you. Ambiance: The place was cute and I went on a Saturday morning so it was difficult finding a seat that was available. Misc.: I parked in a neighborhood and walked over. I would give this place another try and I will most likely try their Apple Walnut and Brie Flappers because I love brie and I love pancakes. So why not, despite the 2 stars for this review. read more

Bigger is not always better. This is one of those times. I really wanted to love this place. As a warning, portions are HUGE; you could even say colossal. My ham egg and cheese on a biscuit was good. Generous pike of ham. The biscuit was dry and there was a lot of it. Chopping off the top and adding homemade strawberry jelly helped a ton. Hubby ordered the frittata if the day. It had a lovely flavor, We wanted to try the pancakes so we ordered a short stack of the walnut/ apple/ Brie. They were huge with heaps of cinnamon stewed apples and nuts. Points off for not having lattes. (Note: other locations do have them.) Points in for having carbonated water on tap right alongside the regular. I wavered back and forth between three and four stars. I went with four because everything is homemade. read more

Such a cute spot! I really enjoy the bright light and the setup they have. We went on Sunday morning which is super busy but they do a great job getting people through quickly. The food comes out like lightening as well. Had the cold press which was good. My friend got the brie and apple flapper which I tried a bite of and was delicious! The lovely combination of sweet, tart, and BRIE! I love brie (so I might be biased)!! I got the fritata which was good but the eggs were a little over done. However, the homemade toast was delicious, I could have eaten that with their homemade jelly and would have been content. Tried a flapper and I personally like the flavor of these and the heft. But they don't taste like a regular pancake if that's what you're looking for. The hash browns were also good - nice and crispy on the outside. Overall an enjoyable experience and will be back. read more
