My son and I tried Chori-Man yesterday for lunch and were pleasantly surprised to find this cute…read morelittle bakery/coffee shop tucked in next door. I consider myself a bit of a "Sourdough Snob" and I had heard about Colossus a while back but didn't know that there was one (or are there 2?) in San Pedro. I went on a sourdough quest in San Francisco a few months back and I think I found the absolute best sourdough in that city. And Colossus's version, the Country Levain, is right up there! Great crust and chew and flavor is awesome. We got a medium Country Levain and a medium Levain with Cumin and Olives....that cumin and olives....wow, so freaking good and unique. Loaves were about $10-$14 and service was great and super friendly. We didn't try anything else but the sweet treats and coffees looked good. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A branch of Long Beach's most beautiful bakery sits right next to Choriman…read more The display case is so small, be sure to snatch up multiple offerings before they're gone. The Country Loaf is their basic bread, very moist, great for anything, even eating it plain. Here lies the first Pecan Sticky Bun that I can call exceptional since Joanne Chang's from Flour in Boston. Then there's a Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Cookie and a classic chocolate chip, both amazing. Good bread, great bakes - you can tell they're made by a pastry chef because they're so polished and refined. Great bakes, please try!

It's a small shop as well where you can pick up some Italian groceries, definitely want to pick up some products next time we make pasta as it looks very authentic. Love seeing and supporting local businesses as I can tell there's strong San Pedro roots. I got the Proscuitto Caprese (medium size) and it was delicious! The ingredients were so fresh, the pesto was rich, the mozzarella was flavorful. My husband got the Godfather (medium size), big serving, great balance of flavors. Will definitely be back!

I've had a few sandwiches from here but the one I tend to gravitate to is the meatball sandwich…read more It's the kind of sandwich you have to sort of eat right away because it's saucy and it can make the bread soggy fast. Hence I usually get it with the freshly baked baguette because it can take it more. The meatballs are hearty and meaty. A bit messy to eat but I like to add peperoncinos in it because the tang balances out the flavors. I love it with salt and by chips too. Anyway the staff is usually pretty friendly. It's a little market too so you can get some prepared meals in the refrigerated section and some other Italian themed groceries. Yes I'll be back.

I've been here a few times. It's a butcher shop, a sandwich shop and a mini grocery store in one…read more I'm normally much of a sandwich person but I like this place. Their customer service is usually great and friendly. They are very respectful. I can't remember all the sandwiches I've tried but I usually go for the butchers special. It has 3 different meats. I think ham, turkey and roast beef. It's like the whole farm! It's simple but it's good. I never thought the bread made a difference, but I really like the bread they use here. It's simple, soft and easy to eat. Unlike some breakfast where it's a tug of war to tear off a bite. It's not fancy. There's no panini I press, no arugula, aioli or anything like that. It's simple sandwiches how they traditionally made them before we got extra will these fancy ingredients. Great for the picky eater. One of the best sandwich places in town. I'm definitely going back.
