The fake reviews are killing ne. Anyone saying this is the best burrito in LA has been paid or had a stroke. Food is mid. Waited 25 minutes past when we received text saying order is ready. Kept telling us us it's coming. Then 5 minutes later stated that they are firing up the order now. Then 2 minutes later turns out its been sitting there the whole time. 2 burritos and 2 bagels for $55.00! Get out of here.

25 minutes for drip coffees. Disappointed. Only one size. No hot lattes. No almond milk.

I never leave reviews but felt the absolute need to after coming here for the 2nd time.Food is mid and definitely not worth it at the price point. The grease of the tater tots mixed with the cheese in the burrito masks a lot of taste to think that it's better than it is. I could've looked past it but the service i received today was very frustrating.My food was ready on their rack but they refused to help look for my order even though I asked 3 times. I was told to wait and that's perfectly ok because they were very busy. For the next 25 minutes, I wait and watch other customers go up to the counter and receive help. Not sure why I was the only 1 who wasn't helped and told to wait. They finally get through everyone and go through the sitting orders only to eventually get to mine which was sitting there the entire time. I asked why they made me wait and they said "they called it out." Hilarious. Then why did I ask 3 times and still not get helped if it was called out?I advise any other Angelenos to steer clear of this place! They'll rob your wallets and time! More like Wait and Late!

Good quality and friendly service at this new breakfast burrito place in Pasadena. I had the steak burrito and although it was smaller than I had expected, it was packed with enough flavors. Will definitely come back and try their other burritos.

Wow! If you like a warm toasted bagel with a thick chewy inside this is the place. This is my favorite bagel since my kids brought them home. Five stars for that. So now the reasons for less stars? They are manipulating there customers by the following:You are required to buy 2 cream cheeses with your bagel. Therefore, bagels are about $7-$10!!! They don't price it that way on their micro menu that you can't read but told that at time of order. Second, the design layout of order and pick up is wrong. The order counter is right in front of the door with seating on the left and pick up on right. Customers are meant to line up outside the door or back up into dining area. I told the manager they should reverse the counters to flow traffic better ie, not cross the order line from dining to pick up order, customers to stand in cold, rain or heat but he said it is intentional so it creates a hype! It is a marketing tactic!Mind you this place is huge since it was an old cooking school. Therefore, between the forced purchase of buying cream cheese and making me stand in the cold wind I've taken away their stars. I don't like to be manipulated!!!! We have to many food options to be played.

Food is very overpriced for what it is. Portions are very small as well and the space is uncomfortable inside. Also they have a 2 bagel minimum? Wtf is that?

4.6/5.0 I had TWO bacon breakfast burritos and will be back again for more. Expensive treat, but I do think these stand apart from cheaper burritos. Taste: One of the better breakfast burritos in NELA. I had two of them it was so good. Also because they were not that big.. the tortilla was really nice, flaky in the right ways, not dry though and the tortilla to filling ratio was perfect. Salty, savory, aromatic. Very nice. The sauce was really good too. I also had a rugelach which was too small but delicious Experience: honestly bad vibes inside. Feels totally unfinished. Really high ceilings and 75% of the restaurant is hidden by cheap divider wall. The menu was physically small and not visible until you got up to order. Though I guess if you're a regular you'd know the options are limited anyways. I have driven past this place a million times and thought they had not opened yet. Server was friendly. Mood Before/After: I was tired and hungry before and left antsy to leave but sated in appetite. Fullness: I would eat 1.5 burritos. 1 was a little too small, 2 was a little too much. What else did I eat/do today affecting my experience: didn't do much that morning.

Oh my goddd! So so freaking amazing! What a wonderful experience first of all- the workers were so so sweet! We got all of the sauces & they all paired so well with the burrito! The vanilla bean latte is the perfect balance of a latte- not too sweet & just the right among of milk. I'm obsessed with this spot & I'll be visiting much much more in the future! The searing was also great- lots of space and you have the choice of outside or inside!

Oh? My god??? Like actually the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. It was the perfect size and I finished the whole thing. The steak in it was amazing, there was so much avocado (already included too it wasn't an extra cost), and everything in it was spread out SO well. The tater tots in it were insane too. And the chipotle aioli YUMMMM wow wow wow I will literally be dreaming about this place until I go back again. The staff was also super nice!

Amazing bacon breakfast burrito. Coffee was nice too. The atmosphere is a bit stale/cold. Also I thought it was closed since it looked dark though the tinted windows and nothing was in the pastry case. Think they should build a proper space in the front and separate the kitchen.

Loooove this place. The bagels are amazing, the cream cheeses are delicious. The parmesean bagel with honeycomb butter is chef's kiss! I do wish the price was lower, because 75 dollars for a dozen bagels isn't very feasible for a family. I don't love the inside with the windows covered in paper - there isn't much natural light...but I don't usually eat there anyway. The iced coffee is great. There was a line out the door when I went on a Sunday, which is always a good sign.
