This place is awesome! Love their matcha and croissants. The workers are super friendly and attentive. One of my go to spots for coffee or matcha. 9/10 for sure. Only thing is, it can be a bit pricey. 16 bucks for a matcha and croissant is wild, but it is what it is.... Overall it's a good experience :) read more

Colossus - Twice baked Almond Croissant & iced Matcha - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

Loved this little bakery we stumbled upon while in the area. There was a neighborhood-ey feel and a line at the door. The shop itself is small, and they share a friendly outdoor seating area with the next-door burrito place. Coffee was great -- I had a flat white. The pastry itself was wonderful and creative too -- a peppermint-chocolate, double-baked almond croissant that felt exceedingly seasonal. Happy Holidays! Would absolutely return if in the area again. read more

So far, some of my favorites include The Great Pumpkin (iced), the Matchai (hot), and Americano (hot). Also love their Pecan Sticky Bun, Apple Turnover, and Cardamom Knot! Street/neighborhood parking is competitive but is available. Their staff is always so friendly and enthusiastic! The only downside is there really isn't a good spot to sit... although they do have a couple of benches out front. read more

If you want your car to look like a trash can come here. I ate everything in the car and I only live by Terranea, literally a 4 min drive if you're going slow. I'm so happy I finally stopped by. The egg sandwich was crispy, buttery and just savory goodness. It's nice that they have a sandwich/savory and filling breakfast option. The iced pumpkin caramel latte was so good. Just overall everything was fresh and no weird chemically taste in abything. I'm pick and this place is 10/10. The line wasn't too bad and it was pretty busy. I think it took less than 10mins to get everything. The line moves fast and everyone in line is waiting for coffee. Pumpkin cinnamon roll=1000/10 literally the best cinnamon roll I've ever had. The cream cheese icing is so good! I need a bucket! The bread part of the roll is so soft and the perfect texture. Egg sandwich minus the bacon=good and fresh. Nice option. Looks small but really filling. There is a lot of egg. Love that. Will be back Also they have the TikTok butter. Stop and get it. Also in their IG they let you know when they're getting more. read more

We had ordered our burritos next door and were waiting for our food to be ready, so we walked in to order some coffee. It's a tiny place. Tables are outside but the inside is just the ordering counter, a pickup table, and a shelf with merch. They're mostly known for their baked goods, which looked really appetizing! I got an oatmilk cortado with a pump of vanilla while my sister got a plain oatmilk cortado. Not my fave. Didn't love the espresso or the vanilla. I think the coffee is just a side addition with the baked goods as the star of the show. Staff was nice. They even come outside to bring you your order! While their coffee drinks are nothing to write home about, I'd come back and get their baked goods! read more

Omg!! Came across this hidden gem on the way to a freelance job cause i needed a coffee and so happy i did. The pastries here are mouth watering and so delicious i could cry! I came back everyday that week cause i could get enough! read more

Checked out the original location in San Pedro. I had only been to the Long Beach spot before. It's a cute hole in the wall inside a neighborhood. Food is still great. The croissant breakfast sandwich is delicious as usual. Kept me full for 6 hours and I only finished 75% of it. Everyone is always friendly and the food is always yummy. Love Colossus! read more

Colossus - Breakfast Croissant Sandwich with bacon (with sweet hot sauce). - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

FANTASTIC pastries all around -- and the coffee is good too! Amazing strawberry scone and literally everything else I"ve tried from there.

The worst costumer service. After spending 150 dollars on pasties and some breakfast items. Was treated like I didn't belong there. Didn't get my order right and when I questioned it was just given a copy of my receipt instead of making my order right. Even if I had to pay extra. So disappointed read more

At 10 am both store sold out French baguette, and ham and cheese croissant. Make sure you got a lot of time to wait. Staffs are way to busy making coffee don't have time to serve you till all coffees order were made. read more

Got a coffee and some pastries (kouign amann and pain au chocolat). Coffee was decent. The pastries were very buttery and flakey, much yums. I bought some coffee beans, and the person at the front was very helpful when choosing which roast to buy. The parking isn't too bad, but it is all in a residential area. The turnover rate is quick; people come and go, so finding parking isn't too bad. Unfortunately, there is no sit down area. This is just a grab and go place, so you can't really study or sit down to have a nice chat with a friend here. read more

Colossus - 8/20/2021 coffee - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

Heard about this spot from social media and food post spots. Finally had the chance to check it out. Here was my experience. Parking: Street/neighborhood parking. There are a few 15-30 minute spots that should be accessible Seating: No seating, just a grab and go moreover. If you walk down yonder there's an unclaimed bench (at the moment) Feels: Nothing like neighborly San Pedro. Unique house setups and busy parking, on the plus is a gorgeous view of the ocean. The spot itself is very intimate, a grab and go in the neighborhood area and proximal to other spots parks or even beach hikes. FOOD: Breakfast Sandwich (Recommend) Freakin Delicious. You get a very savory and flaky croissant, a brick scrambled egg well seasoned with hers, and a nice thick slice of bacon. Delicious and fulfilling. The hot sauce is not your bottled sauce but lowkey creamy with a subtle kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Great! Friendly people with good energy. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Awesome! A pretty cool spot. Charming spot, reasonable price, good selections and delicious food. Definitely a spot to come back to when I'm in the area and great to hear they have a spot in Long Beach.

Colossus - Wooooo! - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

Wonderful morning stop to get their granola mix, jalapeno bread and London Fog. Located on some of the sleeper streets in San Pedro you can make a stop on your way to the beach or home. My wife and I love this bakery coffee shop. The service has been wonderful every time we have been. read more

Colossus - Outside the shop - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

What a lovely find in San Pedro! The pain au chocolat croissant was very good. Buttery, flakey and chocolate-y, just how you want a croissant. The breads look amazing. The prices are a little steep in my opinion, $6+ for a small latte bc they charge extra for pumpkin caramel and oat milk. My total was $40 for the latte, two chocolate croissants and 2 Turkey sandwiches (no sides just the sando) but I'll go back again so it can't be that bad! Lol I'd rather give a local establishment my money than Starbucks! read more

Colossus - Pain au Chocolate - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

Tiny neighborhood bakery that has a pretty decent Chai Tea. This is a hidden gem you will be glad you found. The Girls working were all pleasant and it took no time to put together me tea. Prices were reasonable I'll be back for more goodies but I could not resist this Cardamom Roll and it doesn't disappoint. Slightly sweet and soft inside with a gold ten crunch outside almost taste like something from an old world and all that to enjoy with my chai. read more

Colossus - Strawberry Matcha - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

I'm a big bakery and pastries person. Like whenever I see a bakery line, I can't resist standing in it. So when I saw this line as I was picking up burritos next door, I had to try it out. I've been a couple times now and it's SO great! They always have fun seasonal items. My favorite things I've tried so far have been the cardamom bun and the everything seasoning cheese scone and the key lime pie that was a Mother's Day special. I'm very excited to continue trying more items, their various coffee options and the pizza at their Long Beach location. If you see a long line when you pull up, stick it out! It's so worth it!! They also have an online ordering system so you can skip the line if you know what you want! It's all street parking which can sometimes be tough but it's all free. No meters. And it's a residential area so walking a block or two is chill. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Colossus - Mini key lime pie - a Mother's Day Special. So delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - San Pedro, California

Cute little walk-up bakery with friendly service. But I was expecting a whole lot more from the food itself. Croissant - from my understanding, patries made with the croissant dough is one of their specialties. It was overcooked - to the point that the end of my croissant was black. Pain au Chocolat - also overcooked, and hardly any chocolate. Pecan Sticky Bun - also overcooked. Not as sweet as I would have preferred or expected from a brown sugar and pecan filling. Ham & Cheese Croissant - only slightly overcooked (maybe I just caught them on a day when the oven was running hot??). All of the ham was on one side of the filling, so it didn't eat that well. Also, preference wise, I'm not so keen on the ham and cheese croissants that are covered in seeds - this one had sunflower seeds, poppy, and sesame seeds. It did have a crunchy texture, which was okay, but IMO, not necessary if the ham and cheese are done well. Kouign Amann - actually not overcooked (which is sad that I have to point this out), but I think it was missing 'something.' It wasn't as buttery rich as I was expecting. OG Cookie - I appreciate the use of Valrhona chocolate, but there was too my flaky salt. It drowned out the flavor of the chocolate. Nice cookie, but wouldn't get it again. Baguette - I do like that you get the hint of sourdough. Keep in mind that this is pretty much located in a residential neighborhood and there is very little parking. You may want to place your order online and pick up. read more

We live down the street and this place is always a treat. No other ham and cheese cepissant comes close to theirs.

I went there on a Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock, and it was already busy. The servers were extremely friendly and the croissants are delicious, warm nice and tender and flaky. read more

The bread and pastries are terrific! Counter service. Everyone is nice and helpful. The place is small so you have to go outside or take away which is fine. I drive from Hermosa Beach for the bread. read more

OMG... Everything here is delectable! I love it so much I bought a t-shirt and am proud to wear it! Love trying new items.

Such great bread and coffee and pastries. Always busy but worth it. No seating inside so be ready to sit on the stop seat :-)

I can't tell you how happy I am that San Pedro has a great coffee shop / artisan pastry option for when I come home to visit from Denver. Their pastries are amazing! I was introduced to the Ham and Cheese croissant by my little sister which is a lovely breakfast, and I always must get at least one; but I tried a few of their others this past time and OMG...the pecan roll (I think) was to die for. So good, you gotta try that one. Next time I'll have to get some bread but as it was a quick weekend trip I didn't indulge this time. And regarding their coffees. Any time I see a lavender latte on the menu I don't even need to look at anything else. Quite possibly the best lavender latte I have had in a looooong long time. In fact I can only think of one comparable (not better, on the same level and that was in Santa Fe NM) I wish they were down the street from my house cuz i would legit get this every day. The lavender wasn't all subdued like some of these other places but by no means was it overwhelming.... It was absolutely perfect. And the quality of coffee they use also top notch. Really just a wonderful coffee. I drank it altogether too quickly and then was sad when it was gone. Colossus makes me very very happy. read more

As a previous baker I deeply appreciate high quality baked goods. The spiced berry danish I had was perfectly spiced and flaky. Shoutout to the bakers that wake up at the crack of dawn to bring us the beautiful pastries and breads served at Colossus! read more

We went today this was are 4th time going. We won't be back for awhile. The food is fine it's the employees! We did not get half are order and when I told the young girl she said oops my bad sorry! Really!!! Coffee order was wrong also. Just not a great experience today. read more

I love bread and I am a fan of anyone who has the patience and skill to source quality ingredients and then allow them to ferment and proof naturally. Colossus Bread recently opened in San Pedro in a small storefront, serving only coffee, bread and pastries. My friends who live there are happy to have a quality bakery in town, and I was happy to not taste their Whole Grain Wheat and Olive Cumin and a few of their viennoiseries. My favorite was their Olive Cumin, studded with olives and with the earthy spice of cumin, this was fantastic toasted and spread with a bit of cream cheese or olive oil. They also freeze very well, wrapped and double bagged in plastic, so no worries if you can't finish the gigantic fresh loaves in one sitting. Their viennoiseries were good, but a bit too dense and too salty for my taste. Colossus is a bread bakery, and it is rare to find any bread bakery who bakes great bread and also does great pastry. I would absolutely get a pastry here to go with some coffee if I was in the area, but I would not go out of my way to come for the viennoiserie. I would however make the drive for the bread, so taste both for yourself and see what you think. I am always encouraged to find artisan bakeries in places where there are not any, so kudos to Colossus for breaking new ground in San Pedro, and I hope the gathering of people in and outside the shop when I went is a portend of more customers to come in the months to come. read more

Best bread ever. I personally love their country levain the most. With or without butter - this bread is so good. So doughy and chewy.. It's good to make grilled cheese, avocado toast, some mascarpone and honey if you want to get fancy, and left overs make for excellent croutons in the air fryer (just toss em lightly with olive oil). Other favorites are - OG cookie, olive cumin bread, kouign aman, pain du choc, and olive oil chocolate cake.. I still have yet to try a lot of their stuff. Would love to try their challah bread!!! During the coronavirus pandemic, they were open for a couple weeks and it was a godsend. We could still have their delicious bread. Before they closed, they were also supporting the community by offering pantry items and also offering CSA pick ups. I was able to get flour and yeast (srsly yeast was nowhere to be found). The owners are super conscientious and kind! Thank you for always producing superior bakes and spoiling me with good bread - now I can't eat mediocre breads. read more

Their baguette has the perfect crust & soft interior. The OG cookie is my favorite! Great staff too!

Hands down they have the best chocolate chip cookies. No doubt about it small little bakery kinda easy to miss but pass by early enough and you'll definitely not miss the lovely aroma coming from the baking. If your a cookie lover this place can be dangerous lol I only get a cookie at a time otherwise I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from consuming them all at once. Definitely a must try. read more

Amazing!!!! Love their scones and flat breads! All good stuff. The atmosphere is welcoming.

I have been eating Colossus pastries at some of the local coffee shops in Long Beach for a while now, starting with Black Ring Coffee. Big fan, I would always get one to eat there and one or two to go :) And I was supper excited to hear they had opened a shop, in my old neighborhood in San Pedro no less. We've been twice now and couldn't be more pleased. The pastries are even better fresh out of the kitchen. So far I've had the cinnamon roll, my only complaint was that I only got one. The pumpkin loaf is one of the best I've ever had - so moist and spicy. The brown butter fruit coffee cake wow. And not to mention great brownies, nice and lite not those big fudge bombs you get some places. It is in the middle of the Leland School neighborhood deep in Pedro. But it's worth the drive even if you don't live close. Get some pastries & coffee, drive over to the Korean Friendship Bell and enjoy the view of Catalina! Of course the downside of the location is parking, it's street only but you can always find a spot. The shop is tiny with no seating inside but they have tables out front and there is a nice park a block or so away. Since everything is made fresh daily, they do run out sometimes. I see people complain about this, but I say it's worth the risk! Oh, and the fresh bread is fantastic :) read more

I've been trying to make it to this bakery so so long and today was finally the day!! I ordered an iced vanilla latte with was perfect! The pastries we ordered were: the kougin amann (this one is perfect to pair with coffee or tea!!), plain croissant, chocolate croissant, the feta and spinach pastry (sooooo good as a savory option), and the raspberry/pistachio one (my absolute favorite for a sweet/fruity option). Needless to say, it all got devoured. So fast I didn't get pictures! read more
