Excellent breakfast (colossal light), atmosphere, and service. The homemade sourdough bread was delicious. The owner stopped by to say hello as well.

Great breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were excellent - some if the best I’ve had. I’d put them up against my Grandmas and that’s saying a lot!

Flappers were great. Didn't like the biscuit and gravy. Then she didn't offer a discount. A meal for just me cost me$40

Great food but be prepared to wait! The place is a great little local spot and people definitely know it so breakfast/brunch time it's veeeery busy. The biscuits are great as well as the flappers. We can never decide if we like the mushroom or sausage gravy best, they're both delicious. I also like their patio option which is tables out on the side walk but it's great to have an outside option and a few more tables. The servers are busy and working hard.
My favorite breakfast/brunch spot in Saint Paul. Coffee, service, food, coffee, cleanliness, consistency and coffee are all top of the line. Reservations are not accepted, which can be a drag, but they offer a waitlist you can join online before coming into the restaurant when it’s busy.
Parking: Parking lot across the street and spots along Grand Ave are often plentiful as well.

Love the flapper sandwiches! The pumpkin spice latte was the best I’ve had in a while.
On Friday for lunch my family of five was seated promptly. We parked on the street but there is a lot across Grand as well. They had activities for the kids, and the kids loved the pumpkin and banana bars/cake for lunch. I got a café au lait and a fruit/yogurt parfait. I was impressed by the amount of fresh fruit in the parfait, and once again I had a great experience at Colossal. All in, the place can get busy because it is a cozy breakfast/brunch spot that is non pretentious and family friendly.
Kid-friendliness: Family friendly with kids activities and kids meals.
Wheelchair accessibility: Automatic sliding door for entry, tables are close together so getting a wheelchair through might be somewhat difficult but not impossible.

Pancakes are disgusting turkey sausage is not good. Biscuits are hard and dry.

My wife and I have become regulars at this fantastic establishment, visiting 1 to 3 times a week, and we can't speak highly enough of it. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making each visit feel special. One of the standout features is the incredible staff; they are consistently friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about providing an exceptional experience. It's evident that the team is well-trained and takes pride in their work, which adds to the overall enjoyment of our time there.
Moreover, the ownership of this place truly sets it apart. They are actively involved and approachable, always ensuring that everything runs smoothly and that customers are satisfied. It's refreshing to see such dedication to both the quality of service and the community. We feel fortunate to have this gem right in our neighborhood. Whether we’re stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, we always leave with smiles on our faces. If you’re looking for a spot that combines excellent service, great management, and a welcoming environment, this is the place to be. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in the area!
Vegetarian options: Great options available!
Parking: Easy and always available!
Kid-friendliness: They always great my kids with a smile and provide them an awesome kids menu!
