The best breakfast and coffee in town..
We have eaten here many times. This is the second time the pancakes have been under-cooked (the first was in the fall with their pumpkin pancakes when there was liquid batter in the middle of the pancake).
This time they were still wet even at the edge, so I sent them back. They remade them, but they were still undercooked (edible around the edges, but not in the middle). I talked to the waitress and she just said they are supposed to be "doughy" and "looked done to her"....read full review
It is in your best interest to eat here… it’s TO. DIE. FOR. 😋

Colossal Cafe is a popular restaurant known for its amazing food, often compared to a million chef grandmothers' creations. The menu offers a variety of delicious options, including a unique Korean Beef bowl with a kick. The cafe specializes in bakery items, with phenomenal cinnamon rolls and cookies, as well as house-made biscuits and gravy. The pièce de résistance is their house-made pineapple habanero hot sauce, which ranges from 2.5/3 on the Minnesota hot scale to a mild 1. The restaurant takes pride in making everything from scratch, from sandwiches to sauces. The atmosphere is perfect for families and friends, making it a long-time favorite for many.
While the food is great, guests should be prepared to wait, especially during busy breakfast and brunch hours. Many love the biscuits and flappers, with both mushroom and sausage gravy receiving high praise. The cafe also features outdoor seating, which is a nice option for those who prefer to dine outside. Reservations are not accepted, but they offer a waitlist that can be joined online. Parking is available across the street and along Grand Ave. Don't forget to try their special Benedict options and the classic American Breakfast. Coffee and service are top-notch, making this a favorite breakfast and brunch spot in Saint Paul.
