San Pedro’s artisan bakery and café Colossus is getting even bigger, with a third location opening with a more robust menu.

“We want to make sure that we’re as good as we’ve always been and getting better,” said Long Beach-born pastry chef Kristin Colazas Rodriguez, who started the popular bakery that made its mark with made-from-scratch pastries and breads.

The new spot, however, will be a little different from the original San Pedro bakery, which opened as a counter walk-up in 2019; and the second location, which debuted in Long Beach in 2021.

The 24-seat location, also in San Pedro, is also serving the pastries and loaves baked in small batches that made Colossus a neighborhood favorite, but unlike the other spots that focus more on bread, the new cafe will also offer a full brunch, lunch and dinner menu including sourdough pizzas and a wine list.

“I’m really excited about having a new space where all the young families in San Pedro can come hang out,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez, who previously worked at Bay Area fine dining restaurants including Octavia and Petit Crenn, where she was the pastry chef, created the menu alongside Executive Chef Jeff Paletz.

The menu includes breakfast dishes like a French style omelet plus a soft, scrambled egg toast dish creme fraiche and chives on country bread. For lunch, people can expect things like the lyonnaise salad made with frisée and bacon lardons, a soft egg, and country croutons cooked in bacon fat, while dinner highlights include the meatballs. The dish includes a rich tomato gravy with sausage and spare rib.

She’s also serving many sourdough pizzas, which had been previously available at her Long Beach location.

Pie options include classics like marinara and pepperoni and creations like the Calabrian chile honey, made with crushed tomato, mozzarella, sweet peppers, sausage and chile honey. And Rodriguez expects the menu to continue to grow.

“We’re going to continue to add new things,” she said.
