“ It was very crowded, but it was still incredibly quick with the food. Servers were a joy to meet. Even with so many people, it was still very enjoyable. The food was immaculate. The eggs, sausages, and hashbrown were delightful. Was a bit messy, but that was probably just me, haha. 5/5 ”
“ It was my first visit after COVID-19 and after I moved to a different state. The colossal Cafe was my favorite hidden spot during my time with U of MN, and it always offered warm dishes and a great atmosphere. It’s so precious that I only share this with a few friends. And I visited again during my short trip to the twin cities, and I feel like my lovely gem is more beloved. I miss the cafe, and I highly recommend it here. ”
“ The food came out quickly and was so good!! The chorizo benedict monthly special was AMAZING, best eggs benedict I’ve ever had and thats my go-to order. The bison biscuits and gravy was decent, but not bad. Kind servers and good coffee. Will return! ”
“ Cute lil cafe great blast sandwich and I’m not a beast person but it was great!!! Jose the cook and all the staff are great and welcoming ”
“ Mouth watering. Delectable. Enormous. The things dreams are made of. Just a few ways I'd describe our first experience at Colossal Cafe. Ordered the roasted pork shoulder breakfast burrito, cheddar & bacon sandwich, coffee and maybe the largest cinnamon roll I've ever seen. Every single bite was paradise in my mouth. Quite possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. Also quite possibly the best cinnamon roll ever. Oh, and that massive cinnamon roll? How much did it cost?? SIX DOLLARS. Are you kidding me!? That thing could be 10 and I'd still pay that. What an incredible deal for a palm-sized sugary explosion of flavor. Excellent coffee, salsas and service to boot. Well done Colossal. You now have 2 return customers. ”
“ Nice start to the weekend morning - a stop at the Colossal Cafe. The Colossal Breakfast was great - over easy eggs, bacon, hash browns, and sourdough toast with homemade rhubarb jelly. Also the breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon and cheese. Enjoy and stop in! ”
“ If you’re looking for a place with great made-from-scratch breakfast food, this spot is a must-visit. They truly know how to do breakfast right. While the food might take a bit longer to arrive compared to a chain restaurant, the wait is definitely worth it. The flavors are exceptional, showcasing thoughtful and delicious flavor profiles in every dish. If you’re unsure of what to order, I highly recommend trying the Colossal Breakfast. Don’t forget to add a side of pork bison gravy—it’s the perfect complement to your meal. The portion sizes are generous without being overwhelming, and the prices are very reasonable, ranging from 10 to 15. Be prepared for a bit of a crowd, as this place can get busy, and parking might be a challenge. However, the quality of the food makes it all worthwhile. It’s definitely a breakfast destination worth checking out. ”
“ Amazing food, great music and atmosphere to enjoy a great meal. The pancakes with Apple Brie and walnuts are ridiculously good. The biscuits and gravy will knock you out. Great staff make the whole experience even better. Get here early it gets busy!! ”
