Excellent coffee and pastries. The employees in this store care about their craft shows in the quality of the product that they deliver.

Cute coffee shop. The staff is friendly, coffee is very good and so is the Hu bear! Highly recommended!

This is the most delicious patisserie in the Park Slope. Delicious croissant and excellent coffee. It's perfect place for breakfast!

I visited them a lot before the pandemic and went back a month ago for a couple of times, I don't know if I have just gone late but they had pretty much nothing left by 1-2 pm!

Great coffee, amazing pastries, best macarons and the counter staff today was very nice and friendly.

Great challah bread for the Jewish high holy days. Great bagettes and coffee for regular days

This is the absolute best place to stop for an espresso en route to Prospect Park. The pastries are perfectly sinful, one can always gaze at local art on the exposed brick walls and the staff is nothing short of delightful. I don't care if a massive stroller is blocking the entrance at all times. It's worth the scuffle. Miss you, Colson!

I am having the latte for the first time in my office on 5th street and 6th ave and the coffee is great. I would love to drop off some coffee sleeves so that my hand stays protected. Great pastries also. A great spot.

while i’ve only been here once, everything I got was so good that i trust the next time i go back, it will blow my mind again. I had the chocolate croissant, swiss brioche and baguette, in addition to the latte. sometimes bakeries can really miss the mark wih espresso drinks, but i thought their lattes were really great! it isnt somewhere i would want to hang out though, because it gets really busy and is a pretty cramped space. although, this might just be the time of day i went and it might be quieter off if rush hours

This is the go-to weekend AM stroller/dog park crowd stop. Opens 7:30, grab a cold brew and some pastries, and enjoy your morning in the park with your baby (fur or otherwise). I am very partial to the cold brew here paired with an almond croissant (if they are looking right) and/or a cheddar chive biscuit.

Perfect place for breakfast! Their coffee is great, huge choice of delicious pastries. Right after we came, there was a big line ending outside. Definitely recommend this place!

Pulled out of the cold wind for a latte and a bite to eat.The latte was good and the tuna salad nicoise was surprisingly tasty and very fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Ambiance was mellow and familiar. Through the course of my salad - and those irritating business texts that require an immediate response - I was joined by a number of others taking respite from the cold wind. A gay couple, a young mother with two young kids off to a doctor's appointment, a grandfather bringing his grandson in for a tantalising pastry, and a dad coming in with his daughter that he had just picked up at school and was treating to a sticky waffle. An interesting and eclectic cross section of Park Slope in Brooklyn. Highly recommend this stopover on 9th street for a coffee & pastry or something more substantial - I noticed that there is a breakfast menu, but that it is only served until 1:00pm.

I understand now. I have seen the light. this is the bakery. this is the one.

Outstanding coffee, and delicious (if slightly pricey) breakfast sandwiches. Can't tell if the manager is genuinely a toxic narcissist or just bad at kidding around, but I was feeling a bit sorry for her staff the other morning.

A great local bakery and coffee house that serves fresh pastries, cakes, egg sandwiches and superior espresso. This staple of the neighborhood is one of the reasons Park Slope is a great place to live.

my favorites are always the cheddar chive biscuit, apple turnover/galette, croissant, and now a new one: black pepper parmesan twist.

Super delicious pastries and warm beverages. It is a crime to not get the hazelnut tart. So very buttery with a crisp crust and cool, chilled hazelnut that hits the spot. Anytime.

Great pastries, coffee is good too. Little crowded early in the mornings, but they keep up good customer service end speed even when it’s busy.

What a lovely neighborhood patisserie in the heart of Park Slope at the corner of 9th Street and 6th Avenue. Always nice to stop there for one of their delicious coffees and pastries. Ask for the daily specials!

Best patisserie in park slope, friendly staff and good coffee. Everything in here is baked on premises

We ogled as we walked past their Industry City located. Their pastries made the most incredible aroma. Their muffins were top notch, definitely make a stop here on your Brooklyn tour

Pastries are great. Very tasty and fresh. Latte was good too. Chic & clean environment. Sitting inside is an issue. It fits 4 tables.

Great coffee, yummy pastries, welcoming staff. I love Colson's! I do wish they had more savory pastries but the pastries they do have are excellent. And I do really miss the sandwiches they used to have; the cauliflower romesco one was on point.

I have never been, but my name is also Colson!!

My go-to order is an Iced Oat Milk Maple Latte &&&& if they have it get the chai danish it is unbelievably delicious

Really nice patisserie. The pain Ai chocolate was great. Highly recommend

Love, love, LOVE the cappuccino! Especially since they always add a little design that stays until your last sip! The staff is very friendly and inviting. The teddy bear cookies and the almond croissants are to die for! Please don't get me started on the baked oatmeal! ! ! Love this place on an early Saturday morning! Yum!

This is a super cool cafe a little off the path in Park Slope. The staff is super nice and has a range of tasty food to offer. Their coffee is great but the real start is the Teddy Bear shaped financiers. Not only are they adorable they are delicious - made with almond flour they have a rich consistency and a great nutty taste. I love stopping by here whenever I'm in the neighborhood. The cafe itself is a little small so don't always bank on getting a seat.

Cute coffee shop in park slope! Staff was super friendly, service was quick and the raspberry donut was 💯💯. They also have community events after hours, vibe is definitely worth checking out

Can't even fully describe my love for this place. The croissants are amazing! I've only branched out and tried something different on a few occasions. Very friendly and helpful staff. It can be hard to get a table at times but worth waiting around for a bit! Chai lattes are a great alternative to coffee there.

Best quiche ever. I am not a fan of quiches. But this patisserie makes it taste like a really, really good omelette or pot pie. Both fluffy and filling. Thank you for making me know what a quiche was meant to be like. The service is laid back in a great way and the salad that came with the quiche was wonderful...made you feel okay about eating the entire decadent quiche.

Fantastic coffee and pastries. I will say watching them be berated by rude and dare I say it- down right entitled park slopers is not great. Ex: Being rude at the employees when they are late, but can't seem to manage their own time well enough to arrive early. They are still working through a pandemic, treat them like humans and tip well.

Friendly staff that make you feel welcome, and delicious baked goods+teas/coffees! I'm definitely planning on coming back here again for the chocolate cherry danish alone!

Excellent pastry shop with seasonal European traditions as well. I've been a regular for more than a decade and never been disappointed. It's always pleasant visiting the very professional staff, lots of character there.

Perfect pastries, great coffee. A bit on the pricey side, but the quality backs it up. Family favorite are the bear shaped Financiers - perfect almondy, slightly chewy texture with just a hint of crispness at the edges.

Love this place. The almond pain au chocolat is delicious!

So delicious omg, my bestfriend for months told me how crazy she was about their coffee. I finally went and ooooh my! the coffee is yummy but the pastries!! Unbelievable! I had the most delicious apricot danish, please go, highly recommend!

If you look for German style bread or Baguette, you are welcome. Great assortment and all other sweet things you will get at a bakery outside of Germany ;-)

Really good latte and pastries! 💯recommended!

Always solid. What else do you need to know? If you like financier or even thought about trying/liking them then you have to get the teddy bear financiers here. They’re sooooo good! I have to fight off the urge of buying Colson every time I go to Industry City these days. The smell from their kitchen is like a siren’s song

They have very high standards for their baking, along with a very tolerant position regarding the varied customers. How so? Last winter they advertised a specialty French Christmas cake, and a Sephardic Jewish Hanukkah specialty (don't call sufganayot a Jelly Doughnut!) ON THE SAME SIGN.

This is an excellent pastry shop in Park Slope. I love the assorted minis and they are perfect for parties, events, or if you don't want an entire pastry to feel good about yourself for exhibiting self control. Another big reason to rave about this place is the customer service. I placed an order and paid for it but had a cancellation on a private airplane leaving the following day. Tristan, the manager could not have been kinder, and treated me like a human and appreciated customer. He allowed me to cancel the order with his support (although I had the decline the charge with my credit card and he said he would support it if it were being disputed. He offered several options to help as well. I sincerely appreciate this high level of customer support and I will hell or high water make sure I am as loyal to this shop! Well done, Tristan at 9th Street location! You have 1 loyal customer here!

I recently ordered catering from this place -- enough boxed hot coffee and mini-pastry platters for about 70 people. The pastries were delicious and the coffee was pretty good too! Their staff was responsive by email and answered all my questions, e.g. helping us figure out the right quantity for the order. They also hooked us up with napkins, sugar packets, etc. so that we had everything we needed for our party. I absolutely recommend their catering service!

The best coffee store in town. I don't drink coffee, but the tea there is amazing. I received a standard medium black tea for $4. In addition, they exclude any sweetener, so make sure to add your own sugar (I learnt the hard way). As I was buying my lunch, Jeff Buckley's "Lover, you should've come over" came on, and I nearly collapsed in heartbreak. The vibes are calm and composed. The music is neither excessively loud nor inaudibly quiet. Indoor seating is also convenient, with a limited number of tables but enough of space to do assignments.

I went in knowing I can’t drink cold coffee so I really tried to stop myself from getting an iced coffee so I went with a waffle and a hot chocolate and I’m so glad I did ❣️ the barista was so sweet and kind she said to me she made my chocolate interesting I believe, sorry I was in my thoughts, and I look and “Awww 🥹” and thanked her. It was so cute and it made my day! The little things 💗 I liked her cute pink bandana and sweatershirt! If you read this thank you 💖

Yuruani Olguin

The best coffee shop in the neighborhood! The baristas are always super friendly and make lovely drinks. Their pastries are also delicious. Highly recommend!

🎵 I drove all night 🎵 ( thank you, Celine Dion) from Iowa to visit my kiddo in the hospital. Their only request was an iced coffee, so I chose this place after searching for savory pastries (for myself 😉). Two kind humans were working. Their selection was beautiful. I bought an assortment, and they made my kiddos coffee without ice, so I could add some later ( I chugged my delicious iced coffee stat #neededit). They directed me to where I could find better toothpaste for them (hospital toothpaste out the window). They even gave me a token for a free drink for my kiddo when they got out of the hospital, as they live in the area. Big big props from this Midwestern girl! Thank you.

Wall Fish

Such a wide selection of pastries! The cream filled pastry, no idea what it’s called (oops!) was great. The croissants and other treats all tasted fresh and there was no end to options. Coffee was good and they were pretty quick. Still observing proper COVID guidelines and most of the patrons mask up as well from what I saw.

Justin Rogers-Cooper

Easily one of the most popular bakeries in Park Slope, and well known in Brooklyn. Makes a fine and strong chai latte, offers many fresh cookies and pastries, and has some yummy breads to grab to go. The kid was always a fan of the bear cookie. Sweet spot.

Sara Durkacs

Spiffy interior. Delicious coffee drinks with plant based milks. All of their muffins are vegan: Strawberry Ginger, Morning Glory, Blueberry. Yay! No other vegan options, alas. At least they have one option and almond milk!

Sweet tooth heaven right over here... I’m still reminiscing about the lemon tart 🍋 deliciousness. Golden Turmeric Latte is a must! Industry City’s Food Hall is a delicious culinary gathering. Colson’s ads that cherry on the Sunday! MON - FRI: 7:30AM - 6PM SAT - SUN: 10:30AM - 6PM BUILDING 3

Mia P

Great expresso coffees, which can be difficult to find. Amazing pastries and breads that are fresh each day. The service is friendly and helpful delivered with a smile. Highly recommended to anyone in the area.

Love the food and service here. Macarons are pretty good, maybe one of the best in Brooklyn. Quality, taste, etc. is always consistent and the service is always friendly. I have never had to wait long even if it is packed. Must try here: financiers, macarons, tarts, ispahans, eclairs. I would say the only thing I don't like are waffles, but I prefer waffles to be eaten as soon as they are made imo. Coffee is good here as well (have onky had lattes, chai, espresso).

Seeded Multigrain Pullman - excellent, very dense and rich in seeds Baguette - promising texture but was burned Morning bun- fine, but not as rich as I’ve had a other bakeries Vegan muffin - texture was strange, taste was off, will avoid in future Chive cheddar scone - terrific Donut - good, but not memorable Almond croissant - tastes like they put too much almond oil in it, will not have again

I visit often. I buy myself a delicious coffee buzz and once in a while a scrumptious morning muffiin or scone. A cozy cafe on a busy corner, they play good music, the staff is friendly and they work hard behind that counter.

One of my favorite coffee / tea shops that has excellent small plates and phenomenal baked goods - including some gluten-free goodies. Limited seating (about 10 people), but an excellent spot for a mid-afternoon coffee.

This French bakery makes a surprisingly good iced matcha and matcha latte. I'm not the biggest coffee drinker, but I like pairing something sweet with a drink that's bitter and ideally caffeinated, so the matcha is usually my go-to here. The pastry display case can give you a case of Indecision. You go in thinking you'll get a croissant, then see five other flaky things that look just as good if not better. As a result of my constant waffling when I'm in here, I've gotten the Belgian waffle twice, forgetting that it was just OK. The vanilla donut is pretty good too. Haven't found that one pastry to write home about, but I'll keep coming back.

So friendly and great coffee. Impressive selection of baked goods but just not the flakiest or best tasting I’ve had here. Still highly recommend and I’ll try the others!

Everything is fine, but be aware - there are no sandwiches and salads. Only baking and coffee

The four stars are for the croissants: we sampled a chocolate almond and a plain. The croissants are buttery and flaky; there's a very slight rubberiness otherwise it would be a 5-star rating without question. The coffee is from Brooklyn Roasting Company.

The little Frangipane cakes with chocolate on the bottom are delicious! I like that their pastries are not too sweet. We went for the jelly donuts and ask for one jelly and one custard donut and wound up wit two custard donuts. This is not the worst thing in the world. I do really love their jelly donuts so I'll make extra sure next time we go there. Also got a pastry called a gosette filled with sour cherries. It was nice but not as good as jelly donuts or the chocolate Frangipane. We were happy that we got out of there without buying any eclairs. It took all our strength!

Apple Turnover and Donut Berry are amazing. They are not sweet at all, but they are really yummy. It is the best Bakery in Brooklyn, but they have no toilet, which is not convenient to eat and enjoy there

Perfect neighborhood patisserie - with the pandemic one can no longer linger inside with a coffee and croissant, but there’s always the bench outside. Or take it to the park. The teddy bear financiers are lovely and moist. Love bringing them to family with kids. The savory tarts and waffles are also tasty. Not widely advertised, but nearly all their yummy muffins are vegan and wheat-free. They are so well done, that I didn’t know until after I tried them.

I tried a sour cherry🍒 hand pie and an almond croissant. Both were delicious. They had all the usual coffee/barista type offerings. It was quiet with a few tables available. Quite a few neighborhood moms wandering in with their child to get them a treat. I’d definitely stop in again.

Quaint and charming local neighborhood bakery with both sweet and savory options, good coffee, small bread selection, friendly service.

E.

Best croissant around the area very buttery and flaky 10/10 recommended They wholesale their croissants to other places so had to come in and try it from the source.

T. Luana

Coffee was really good but the almond croissant was honestly kind of mediocre (very hard, and not much filling). Seating outside is nice though

Katie Cisneros

Everything here looked so tasty! Ordered a bacon and egg sandwich and apple cheddar scone, both of which were delicious. I especially liked the texture of the scone 😋 the service was super friendly, even with a very long line. Can’t wait to try more here!

Andy Ng

Small neighborhood corner patisserie with a nice selection of pastries ranging from cakes, tarts, breads, and viennoiseries. Seating is limited and tight depending on the time of day. Space is bright and welcoming given the north west exposure from the large windows.

Nandika Mukherjee

Very nice French place that has so many beautiful tarts and croissants. Their drinks are always well-made. They do run out quickly, so make sure you come before the lunch crowd.

What happened to the tables and chairs? It's cold and winter and Colsons used to be a cozy place to stop.

Rich and sweet French pastries, great coffee and bakery goods. Also gluten free options but this all comes at a cost cause it's not cheap.

Decent sweets but no longer serve sandwiches or salads which was why this place was worth going. Please update your menu on your maps listing.

It's 4:50pm on a Monday and my first time here and there is no cook which means no sandwiches and OJ. It looks like it might be a nice place to eat as selection looks ok though prices seem a little higher than most. Has outdoor seating and a grade A rating.

I was surprised by the chocolate filling inside... it was hard like a chocolate “stick” and it dropped after my second bite! Also, the dough was lack of the butter smell, not crispy outside and not soft enough inside.

Lisa Yu

Came here twice for almond croissants and lattes; the food and drinks were good but the services could be better. Especially in the morning time, they seem to not want to work. Asked for 1 croissant but saw him put 2, then I told them I only want 1 croissant but ignored me.

Markus Schober

Excellent coffee! But lumpy matcha. You have to sift matcha powder before using it! 😑 So yeah, I recommend the coffee.

Everything is so dry!! We bought 4 pastries (sweet and savory) and they were all dry, flakes falling down, lacked butter and filling. As a Frenchman, that “patisserie” didn’t lived up to its name…

The food here is fine. The counter layout is really bad, and leads to really poor wait times and bad customer experience, often waiting pressed up to sitting customers. The staff have to endure poor treatment by grumpy customers who just endured the poor line system.

My wife and I go there quite often as we are French and normally love their Patisseries. This is why I was surprised yesterday when returning to the counter an almost untouched very dry flan (it's ok we all make mistake) the only thing they proposed me was to buy something else.

Maybe popular because it used to be so good and DiBlasio goes in there sometimes- I find that the quality of the pastries has really declined. There is nothing more disappointing than a stale, overpriced croissant. Step it back up Colson.

Dylan Wong

Ordered a few pastries and was disappointed with the quality we received. The almond croissant tasted stale, and wasn't particularly flaky. Only the filling was buttery, not every layer. The chocolate croissant had a meager amount of chocolate inside. The cherry scone was dry , tough, and lacked sweetness. The raspberry donut was quite good though! Would recommend a few other bakeries a few blocks north of here instead.

I don’t understand pastry shops that sell old and stale pastries. Do they think customers won’t notice? I ordered a gosette and a donut, both so stale they tasted like bread.

Been going here for a year, was still worth it even though the wait for food was always long. Today I called in an order was told it would be ready in 10 minutes and after a half hour of waiting I asked again - at that point I was told they didn't have the food I ordered and they would have to make something else. I asked for my money back at which point I was told "next time get off your ass and come in here to order". He continued to go on until another employee shoved him in the back. They don't communicate, don't know how to take phone orders in new york, and there are plenty of cafes in park slope where someone in a french accent doesn't curse you out.

I’v been going there since the first day they opened and never had a problem until a week ago. I went to buy a coffee and muffin as I do every morning. It is always 6 dollars. I had a card with a free coffee that day and they wanted to charge me 50 cents more for a muffin. I asked the cashier (GUY) why is he charging me 50 cents more. Instead of being professional he response by swearing at me using the F word and never answered my question. I asked why he was swearing at me. Again never answered my question. The next day I went to buy a coffee the manager (GIRL) came out and said I was lying about the employee swearing at me from the day before. so she told me that I better not come back there anymore. She was very rude to me. This place either needs to train their employees on how to be professional and deal with customers properly or hire new ones. Employees should never be swearing at customers and getting aggressive.

Colson use to be one of my favorite coffee shops in Park Slope but since lately that have fallen off. Let’s first start off by saying the barista in the front have no respect, and is very sarcastic. The blueberry scones are always sold out and the chocolate croissants lack butter, the chocolate inside is HARD and not really as soft as it should be. The chocolate scone is new but not worth the try.

Stopped in to purchase 3 of their large cookies. No hard copy receipt was given. It was sent to my email. Did not want to spend time reviewing the receipt on my phone in the store. I stead waited until I got home. Unfortunately, I was charged for 4 cookies instead of 3. Reached out by email for them to correct the purchase or at least provide me with the cookie that was already paid for....3 days later I have yet to hear from them. in thd store

The time just labeling French to attract clients is over. The regular croissants are okay, but they are really too salty. They taste more like frozen traditional croissants rather than fresh butter croissants. The baguettes resemble the shape of a classic baguette, but that’s about it. The flour has a taste that seems to be a mix of white and whole grain, and they are excessively salty, likely to mask a strong flavor. Additionally, they are not crispy. This experience was quite disappointing, and I cannot recommend these items.

Came here to buy some pastries and I had to make sure the items I picked out were gluten free since somebody in my party has severe celiacs disease. They ensured certain items were gluten free and after I swiped my card, I noticed the back of the packaging said "may contain wheat". I inquired what this meant since they insisted the gluten free items are truly gluten free. So now while I'm paying, the female worker stated their baked items are gluten friendly. So this means it may contain gluten? she now changed her story saying the baked items are made in the same space as gluten items. So she had to grab the manager who insists it is gluten free. I was then rushed to complete my transaction and before I could ask for my receipt texted to me, she completed it and said I was done. I didn't get a receipt so I can't even get a refund, at that point I was so done with this place and left. I don't understand why they were being so rude and rushed us towards the end. There was only one other patron in the store, nobody was starving to eat their bread. Customers are allowed to ask questions. I don't understand why you would advertise your products as such and then flip flop your story. I guess I was expecting too much for the bare minimum customer service. Will not be returning to this place. If you like attitude with your pastry, you will get it for free with your purchase. Enjoy
