    Bottom line: It's a breakfast burrito place. A little pricey for the size you get. It's a nice space to sit and enjoy the burrito. The burrito was tasty but not sure I'd be heading back except the Americano was one of the best I've had.

    Breakfast burrito

    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.

    Restroom is on the right side. Good breakfast burrito. The lunch burrito is good but anorexic but still good if tryna lose weight

    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.

    Food was good once I finally got it. It took almost an hour (the estimated time was 20 mins) despite them only having two food items on the menu. Breakfast burrito with chipotle aioli was very tasty.

    Disgustingly rotten avocado in a freshly made steak breakfast burrito

    I did not expect to eat the tiniest breakfast burritos of my life, especially for $12 with no meat and $17 with steak. They are about the same size as those frozen bean and cheese burritos you get from the market. The steak burrito had about 2oz of beef in it. The worst part is the steak burrito came with rotten avocado in it. We ordered and ate at the restaurant so there was no time for something fresh to turn rotten. We lost our appetites after biting into this burrito. I showed the woman at the register and she offered to make us a new one, but I opted for a refund, which she gave for the bad burrito. I'm very confused by why people like this place. It's honestly the worst and most overpriced breakfast burrito I've had.

    As we walked in at 11:30 AM, the cashier was ready for us but we weren't ready. Shop have a lot of seating area. The food was actually super delicious. I loved it spicy and the juarez was full of birria meat!!!! This portion was still a bit small for my stomach though and it costed $12. The matcha latte was actually super delicious surprisingly. It was not overly sweet and the flavor of matcha was very strong. I just saw other pictures of Crossaint and did not find it anywhere on the menu but that might be a breakfast menu?

    Came here on Friday with my partner. She has been dying to try this place. So we finally came here. The space is HUGE and the sound echos. The music was loud in the background and it was hard to hear our name when the food was ready. We had the corridor coffee and their burrito. Good on all fronts. Like others have said, the burrito is on the smaller side but I thought it was the perfect size for portion control. For the size and price, I thought it was a good price. I will come back again.

    Ok i finally wanted to try so hopped on the metro to come out to pasadena. You can take the metro A line to memorial station and walk about 3-4 blocks here. I knew what i wanted so i jumped on the breakfast burrito $12 bucks with added steak $5 and bacon $4 bucks. Expensive yes, cost me $24 dollars for this which is way over priced. The burrito was very good though. It had a nice crunch with the tater tots with every bite but with little steak and bacon to justify the $9 add ons. Get the cilantro crema (best sauce) and the chipotle aioli to go with it. It's a huge place and i picked this over the LA location one because you can actually sit down and enjoy it here. The LA one i passed by has no real seating, only to go orders. They have free self serve water station which is a bonus at pasadena location because i wasn't trying to pay $7-$9 bucks for a small cup of orange juice to push the price over $30 bucks for it. Customer service was good and i was greeted right when i walked in. Overall, easily in my top 3 breakfast burritos i ever had but this will be a once in a while visit. Food rating: Breakfast burrito with steak and bacon 9.2\10

    Bagel is less like a traditional bagel and more like fresh crusty bread imo
    Belinda T.

    I went to Wake & Late only once for the food but twice for drinks cause I was thirsty from standing in the sun waiting for Matu's cheesesteak and W&L was on the way back to my car. The space is really interesting, it's huge and industrial with two big counters at the front, one for ordering and one for pickup. Even with my second visit I wasn't positive where to order because they don't have countertop POS machines. Their burritos taste good and I enjoyed both the bacon and the steak, especially with the hot sauce and cilantro crema but WOW. All the reviews warned they were small for $18/$19 and I was still wholly surprised by HOW small the burritos are. They're actually ~6 inches. I liked the bagels but definitely wouldn't come here for a bagel fix--they're different than traditional bagels, more like homemade or Pop Up Bagels in NY if that makes sense. Lastly, their drinks taste pretty good but the price is insane. $10 for a 10/12oz dirty matcha. $7.50 for the matcha alone. There's free (for now) 1-2 hour parking on Colorado and the side streets, but the city installed parking machines and most street parking will become paid soon.

    Nice box, but maybe cut the cost and lower the price of the burrito
    Jason V.

    Let me say that the flavor of this burrito is 5 stars. Its just extremely f*cking tiny for price. $19.50 for a burrito that size is crazy, no matter how good it tastes. I even had beans added, but it seemed like there was many 5 beans in it. My daughter wanted a OGBB (OG Breakfast Burrito) so we went there as well. I included a Pic to show the size difference. Also, when I went to get the burrito, I was told I was in a locker, but when it opened, there was no burrito. The employee was holding it. But yeah, would I eat here again, maybe. It was really good. But not $20 good.

    This was surprising a really good burrito. The burrito itself was $12 and if you wanted an extra protein that would be an extra $4-$5. It was a decent size burrito, definitely enough for one person. I would come back again.

    Steak burrito
    Michelle T.

    Wake and lake is always a treat. It is pricey for a breakfast burrito but I must say it is flavorful. My fiancé got me on the sauces, I normally only get the crema but he introduced me to using both the crema and chipotle aoli. Using both is so much better. Definitely won't get this often but it's nice to get once a while when hanging out in Pasadena.
