Colson Bakery This review is for Carol S. In Virginia Beach. Colson pastries are my latest find and addiction. I'm not going to be happy until I try all the scones and delicious pastries. They deliver to my local coffee shops and my favorite coffee shop bakery. The prices are higher than most pastries but they're worth a try. The unusual flavor combinations are what attracts me. I rarely ever saw Rhubarb Scones and these are delicious. First they had a traditional scone shape but the last ones I purchased were round scones. Some other flavors are Oat Cherry Corn Scone. Yeah three tastes in one scone! Apple Cheddar is an interesting combination. I like the Chocolate Chip and Blueberry too. The dough is very flavorful. The scones and rolls taste great heated in the toaster oven in the morning. If you are near a Colson patisserie I recommend you try the pastry. Otherwise do as I do and find them at your local bakery or coffee shop! Ask the employees who supplies their pastries. Twice recently I've been told Colson Bakery. I'm recommending you know who makes your meal! I'm also recommending Colson. read more

Holy moly, the wild blueberry scone is fabulous. I did not purchase in store, but rather at Brain Food on Court St. Now I must run to the patisserie itself and try everything. I almost didn't get it as all the scones I've had in the past at other places were always so dry, but my goodness! This was heaven. Wow. I didn't even stop to drink my tea. Wow. No pictures, sorry. Next time! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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

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. read more

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!)! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

But don't visit TOO often - you might get fat ;) This stuff is irresistible. read more
