Crema's Take

“This Long Beach espresso bar earns its stellar reputation with impeccably crafted classics like silky flat whites alongside creative signatures like the Honey Lavender Latte that strike an ideal balance of flavor and finesse. The team—particularly staff members like Bree and Leah—treats every order with care and consistency, while the bakery offerings from fresh bread to full breakfast items justify the quality-focused pricing for most visitors, though portions on certain items like avocado toast have recently disappointed some regulars. It's a quick-grab spot that punches well above its weight, beloved enough that customers eagerly anticipate the planned expansion that promises a proper sit-down experience.”

$17.55 for the tiniest avocado toast. Not worth the money. I come here often, so im shocked they cut the portion size in half for the same amount of money.

The coffee is on level 1. I’m just a classic flat white girl, no perversions lol. Well done! And bakery looks delicious, haven’t tried yet.

The staff here is AMAZING. The coffee is perfect everytime. The bread and all of the breakfast meals are incredible. They are expanding so hopefully they will have a sit down area soon. Bree and Leah and THE BEST!!!

I needed to kill some time before my nail appointment, and I stumbled upon this bakery. I didn't get a chance to try a coffee (gave it up for Lent 😩), but i did try the iced tea/lemonade. The name escapes me but it was really good! The breakfast sandwiches were sold out, so get there early if you wanna try them. I had the egg in a basket....the bread was so good! I'm definitely coming back again. No seating! Grab & Go!

Colossus is worth the hype! I dropped in while killing time in Long Beach and am happy I did. I ordered the Honey Lavender Latte which was a perfect balance of sweet and herb 🌿 For baked goods, I went with the following: 1) Cardamom Bun : $5.50 - Loved the simple yet elegant nature to this one. Just a hint of cardamom with a soft, warm interior made this a lighter option. 2) Pumpkin Almond Chocolate Twice Baked Croissant : $8 - seasonal special croissant that was unique. I loved the duo of 🎃 and 🍫! 3) Twice Baked Almond Croissant : Great outer crunch with soft interior. Solid croissant!
