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!!

Breakfast burrito with bacon
Lys G.

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.

The Matcha Latte ($7) was so disappointing. I requested it with less ice and less sweet so I got it 80% full. It literally tasted like milk and I couldn't taste any matcha at all unfortunately. They used to use very high quality matcha but the matcha used now is completely different. I was really looking forward to enjoying the matcha latte because it used to be one of my favorites but this was most likely the worst matcha latte I've had. Overall, the panini was good but the matcha wasn't good at all so I will definitely not get the matcha again!

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!

This did not disappoint! I got the pandan latte. Definitely heavier on the vanilla flavor but the pandan still comes through. My mom got the crème brulee latte and it was probably one of the better ones I've had. It wasn't just sweet - you could get the essence of that burnt sugar topping. For food we had the spam kimchi cheese croissant and it was so good! The croissant was nice and flaky. There was the perfect ratio of filling. It is a very craveable sandwich. All of this in itself deserved a 5 star review already, but one more thing happened I need to mention. We were just about to leave and I wanted a straw in my drink. I want to put it in the lid and instead I spilled it all over the counter. A woman who I presumed to be the owner immediately came over to clean the mess and told the girl at the counter to remake me a new drink. Given I was taking care of my mom and my daughter today, that small kindness meant a lot to me. Overall, highly recommend Dash. Good coffee and good people.

I stopped by Urth Caffé in Pasadena on my own, and what I appreciate about this place is that you don't have to be a coffee enthusiast to enjoy what it offers. The food menu has plenty of substance, with options ranging from breakfast burritos and sandwiches to salads and fruit smoothies. A breakfast burrito paired with a smoothie is exactly the sort of caffeine-free combination that appeals to me. There's also something to be said for enjoying a café by yourself. No elaborate brunch plans, no coordinating schedules, no obligation to make conversation. Just an opportunity to enjoy a meal and a little time to yourself. Urth has the kind of broad, all-day menu that makes it appealing beyond the usual coffee-and-pastry routine. Whether you're looking for a proper meal or something lighter, there's plenty to choose from. I can't offer much insight into their famous coffee, and I suspect that's what brings plenty of people through the doors. But as someone who isn't there for the caffeine, I still found the experience worthy of five stars. I'll happily be returning, even if I never order a latte.
