I've loved these burritos for as long as I can remember, and they're still my #1 spot for breakfast burritos. The staff is always so kind and greets you with a warm welcome as soon as you walk in. It does get pretty packed, so I usually order ahead on the app and just walk in for pickup. There's plenty of seating inside as well. Their menu has changed over the years, and the one thing I still think about is their bagels. They were SO good, and I really hope they bring them back someday! The burritos are a little smaller than some of the competition, and some might find them a bit pricey for the size. But what they lack in size, they definitely make up for in flavor. Still one of my favorites!

This is one of the best breakfast burritos in LA. First thing I noticed the tots were still really crispy. The bacon was flavorful and crunchy, the eggs were fluffy, the avocado added richness, and the cheese was nice and gooey. Overall, every bite was delicious and so satisfying. The sauce on the side added a nice zing.

Iced coffee and burrito, love the packaging

Wake and Late has become my new go-to breakfast/lunch spot in Pasadena! I discovered Wake and Late about three weeks ago, and I've already been here about 6 or 7 times! I can honestly say I'm hooked. Their burritos have become a staple for me, especially because they're not overly filling and, unlike a lot of breakfast burritos I've had, they don't leave me feeling super bloated afterward. I keep my burrito pretty basic since I don't like meat in my burrito. I usually get egg, cheese, avocado, and tater tots, and it's SO good. I did try adding the refried beans once, and the first time they were delicious. Unfortunately, the second time they tasted a little off, so now I just stick with my usual order without the beans. And let's talk about the iced coffee! This is probably one of my favorite things here. I work in the area and parking in Pasadena can be a nightmare, so I usually walk about 15 minutes from work. By the time I get here, especially on a hot day, I'm completely overheated and that iced coffee hits the spot every single time. Definitely recommend getting one! The service has also been consistently great. Everyone I've interacted with has been kind and friendly, and the whole operation is really efficient. I also love their app. If it's your first time and you download the app, you get $10 off, which I thought was a great incentive. You also earn rewards with your purchases that you can use toward future orders, and I really appreciate that. Those little perks go a long way! My only complaints are the prices for add-ons. I think $2.50 just to add refried beans is a little steep, especially when you're already purchasing a burrito. Bacon being $4 is also on the pricey side. I don't mind paying typical Pasadena prices, but I do think some of the add-on costs could be more reasonable. Overall, though, I really enjoy Wake and Late and it has quickly become my go-to breakfast/lunch spot when I'm working in the area. Great burritos, AMAZING iced coffee, friendly employees, and a really efficient operation. Their packaging/logo is very nice also. I definitely recommend checking them out and get the iced coffee!

steak breakfast burrito & bacon breakfast burrito
Sydney J.

I LOVE wake and late. This is my favorite place to get breakfast burritos! My favorite part is the tater tots, they're so crispy and add the perfect crunch to each bite. I also love how compact the burrito is. A lot of people say the size is too small for the price, but personally I think it's the perfect size and fills me up so I'm not too full or still hungry. I usually get it with the hot sauce & chipotle aioli too. I love having it with the iced vanilla bean latte which is not too sweet. I've also had their matcha latte which is pretty good too. The service is also great, the workers have always been kind to me. Good amount of seating inside but if you go during a busy time (weekends late morning) it can be a bit tough. Overall, great service and delicious food!

Went during lunch on Saturday. There was. Lot of people. The line was not obvious. There isn't a counter with a cash register. So I'm guessing no one pays cash?? The menu is at the register table so there isn't a place where people can see the menu. While they took our order, we prob waited 20 min for our food. The burrito is small for the price. For ~$15, I got the Burrito with Pickled jalapeño and chipotle aioli. I ate the whole burrito and was still hungry. I feel like it was an appetizer size. It is a really good burrito. The avocado, tater tots, cheese, and eggs blended so well with the pickled jalapeños. Flavorful and not salty. There are indoor seats but is limited. Parking is metered street parking.

Breakfast burrito + steak and bacon
Sam M.

Heard from several people that this place had one of the best breakfast burritos so had to check it out. Inside of the place is nice and service is welcoming, friendly, and helpful! We had their breakfast burrito, one with bacon and one with steak along with the cilantro crème sauce and the spicy sauce. Would definitely say the burrito itself is a 9/10. However, the size of the burrito and the price for it is the only downside. It's pricey! Other than that solid place!

Breakfast burrito with steak
Stacy L.

I needed a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast before work, so I decided to stop by here. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito and a vanilla bean latte. The café is surprisingly spacious with plenty of tables for dining, hanging out, or even studying. The steak burrito with the cilantro sauce was the perfect combo. The worker recommended that sauce, and he was absolutely right--it paired perfectly. The burrito is on the smaller side, but it was delicious. The crunchy hash brown, avocado, and steak all worked really well together. My coffee was great too, and they offer different milk options, which I appreciated. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

Ice Caffe served Frozen! Yum!  Very small but enough sweet for the day.
Janet M.

Cute little place right next to 24 hour fitness. It was like 1 min walk so if you're starving after a workout, this is the place. The food: Very limited option, it's for burrito only. However the burrito has everything I needed: eggs, potato totes, avocado, cheese and bacon. They also have 2 creamy sauces that I like: cilantro and chipotle. I had the Ice Caffe served frozen. It was quite small but strong and enough after the workout. It was delicious too! The vibe: It seems chill but not too much decor. They blocked out a lot of spaces behind the counter and there were limited seating spaces. It was also hard to hear when they call your name for the order. I think it's better if we can get a text message when the order is ready. Overall, it was nice and definitely will go back again.

Breakfast burrito
Pawan S.

I got the steak breakfast burrito 10/10. The tater tots crunch was perfect and all the flavors blended together perfectly. Both sauces on the side are amazing. Chipotle aioli is really good and so is the cilantro crema is super good as well. I've heard a lot about this burrito on TikTok and people say it's overrated but honestly it was really good. I know a lot of people complaint is about price for size but idk I think this is the perfect size for a good breakfast. The vanilla latte was good nothing special like a 8/10. The service was good the girl at the front was nice. The inside is huge it was pretty empty though. I like the interior simple.

Chile verde burrito
Steve F.

We had delivery from this spot and it was simply amazing! The burritos are authentic Juarez style, so long and thin. We tried the steak burrito which was thicc and delicious. The bean and cheese was authentic and delicious but the chile verde was the award winner of the group! Can't wait to go in person and enjoy the atmosphere and the service!

Burritos
Hannah K.

first time and it stood out in allll the ways. 1. "no tipping policy because the prices reflect accordingly" love the openness of it! and the bold choice in such intense tipping culture 2. FOOD: base burrito ($12) with others as add ons. I did the refried beans add-on and it was sooo good. They do a light like toast of the burrito and it....that first crunch bite (and then following ones) were SO GOOD! It looks small and my dumb american brain thought it was too teeny but it was REALLY filling. I wanted to stop halfway but...finished it and my partner that does eat more than I do said it wasn't HUGE but he felt FULL like he didn't crave or want other things which is solid- a fuullll meal. *healing from that american brain* 3. Ambience: it is HIIIGH ceilings, lit up, and I like the vibess of where you can hear the people and the cooking and all so liked it a lot. there was only one big table and I was glad that we got it, but a lot of little tables around. OVERALL: Soliddd spot and really love #1 for them : ) also... that tortilla and toasting of it!!

Vanilla bean latte - also nothing special but very sweet even though the coloring is good. Matcha latte with oat milk - good nothing special 7/10 Breakfast burrito - 8.2/10 small!!! Not too much egg you can actually finish it. Not too heavy or oily. It's really cute in here and tons of seating very clean and lots of natural light. Quick service and doesn't look like there's wifi here :/ no outlets to work from here also.

We arrived just before noon and there was already a wait list and line for a table. When checking in, we were told it would be about a half hour wait or so. It's fine, they take your number and text you to let you know when your table is ready. Also, it's advised to look at the menu beforehand as when your table is ready, you order before being seated. It did take about half an hour or so till we got seated. We originally asked for a table outside but it wasn't available so inside it was. You order before being seated and a number placards is given for the table. Menu, it has a a lot of good dishes to choose from. The last time we were here the meal was great so we knew what to expect again. Started off with some mimosas, which was about 10.00 a glass. Also water was brought out. Every single one of the staff were so friendly which is nice to walk into a place so welcoming. Friendly hi, making sure everyone was taken care of and if anything was needed. Great customer service. Drinks didn't take long to arrive followed by the first item. The cinnamon apple French toast. It was quite nice with the crunch and apple jam. Everything was great when brought out that no extra syrup was needed. Also served with whipped cream. Within a Couple minutes after that, the entrees came out. An order of the kimchi buttered fried chicken Benedict. First off, it was delicious. Two big portions of Benedict, with kimchi added and the chicken had a lot of flavors. It wasn't too powering with the kimchi and worked really well. That came with their potatoes and a side salad. And the Norwegian Benedict with smoked salmon. Basically a smoked salmon Benedict with all the trimmings. The meals were great and the dishes were massive. We've seen a couple of people sharing plates and lots of leftovers. The food was great and delicious. Service didn't take long after ordering and staff were all very friendly. The only waiting was for a table but that's a given during the weekend. They are limited in hours. Mainly breakfast and brunch but the food was great. Until next time.

I had the Nashville Benedict, which was pretty good, I would've liked the chicken to be a little spicier, but it was tender, and the eggs were excellent.

They have 2 units' worth of seating space so order at the counter and just find a space to sit. They'll call your name for you to pickup unless you order a food item. Americano ($4)-- Good espresso! It wasn't mine so not much to mention haha Latte ($5.5)-- Super smooth, good ratio of espresso to milk! It was just such a good classic latte. Not too milky and espresso was good not burnt/crazy acidic or anything. Mocha ($6.5)-- The mocha is real dark chocolate vs something like Hershey's syrup. You can definitely taste the difference! Good ratio of espresso and milk and I liked the dark chocolate! But if you're used to super sweet mochas then this isn't for you! Pretty reasonable prices for Pasadena no?

The place was packed, and we were lucky enough to grab the last available table.

Our food took quite a while to arrive, close to 30 mins! But the staff was very apologetic and even brought us a complimentary muffin while we waited. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and delicious. I swapped the bacon for tofu, and it made for a satisfying breakfast. However, my husband wasn't as impressed with his brisket burrito, saying it was a bit dry. Based on this visit, I'd recommend sticking with the breakfast items, pastries, and of course, the coffee. Copa Vida still makes a great cup of coffee!

It's a cute little cafe with a nice and welcoming interior located in Downtown Pasadena. Service was super friendly, and the owner took the time to explain some of the best dishes to us. Now for the food, everything was fantastic. Here are my thoughts: La Bordelaise - This was such a unique savory crepe. The balance of flavors was so good, with salmon and spinach mixed inside. Everything just worked together. I've never had anything quite like this, but I would easily get it again. (5/5) Fantasy Crepe - This is your sweet crepe. It's simple but makes for a nice treat. The crepe had a great texture, and nothing was overpowering. Who doesn't love Nutella? Really enjoyable. (4.5/5) Croque Madame - Another simple yet delicious dish. It's basically a ham and cheese sandwich with a runny egg on top. Super simple, but you can really taste the freshness of each ingredient. (5/5) Canele de Bordeaux - This is a MUST GET. I've never had a canele that tasted as good as these. The flavors were perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a crunchy outside and soft interior. Literally perfection! (5/5) Viennois - A fun little way to take a shot of espresso. It's topped with whipped cream, and I was told not to mix it and just drink it all together. It was bomb. (4.5/5) White Tea - I've never had white tea before, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste, but this was simple and refreshing. I had it over ice, and it went really well with the meal. (4.5/5) Overall, definitely a must try if you're looking for a simple yet really good French spot in Pasadena. Everything tasted clean, fresh, and well made, and I left feeling very satisfied. Price is a bit higher than other places, but they import ingredients from France, so you're definitely getting the best stuff. A hidden gem indeed!

I really wish the kitchen staff had just told me that instead of telling me to wait. Since the hours listed say they close at 2 PM, I'm unsure when the kitchen closes. What time do they take their last order? Maybe they should consider adding that information to their Google page, because it would have saved me a walk. I've eaten here before and the food was delicious.

Amador's next check-in came at the end, when he asked whether we wanted the check. The hostess was attentive, and we would have preferred to direct our tip to her. Instead, our bill included a mandatory 20% gratuity, with tax applied to that charge--bringing its effective cost to approximately 22% of the food and beverage total. In my view, a mandatory charge is a service fee, regardless of whether it's labeled a "gratuity." Being required to pay it despite such inattentive service left a poor impression. One star for the service and mandatory charge.
