Wake and Late
525 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Wake and Late earns its name by opening later than typical coffee shops while serving a tightly curated menu that clearly prioritizes quality over variety—their Double Americano is bold enough to turn heads, and the crunchy bacon breakfast burritos with soft flour tortillas and pickled onions have earned devoted fans, though portions can feel modest for the price. This is the kind of place where a small menu signals real specialization, perfect for when you want coffee and a thoughtfully made breakfast that feels a bit more interesting than the usual grab-and-go fare.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Open late.

I like places with small menus cuz it just means they specialize in the food they serve. Toh l'd like to say I'd give this a 4.5 stars. To start off with I've had churros in Spain and ceviche in Mexico and tacos from ave 26. The palette here is different from most places that…
First time visiting of the Ex-Star News building. Love the Double Americano but bit strong for me. Burrito with steak was savory and great combination with pickled onions and peppers.
Food: crunchy bacon breakfast burrito with crispy hash browns inside. The flour tortilla is soft and has a nice chewy texture to it. I do wish the burrito is bigger for the $18 price they charged. Service: quick and easy order process at register and pick up on the side. …
Good but burrito was so small. I paid over $20 for the tiniest burrito of my life! blah blah blah gluten free wraps are tinier I KNOW, but when u are charged more for them yet way less fits into them … seems like maybe a little price cut would make sense ? maybe I’M the sucker.…
I am visiting from out of town and I noticed a love/hate relationship from the reviews. I decided to give it a try. The bacon burrito was delicious with plenty of crunchy bacon, cheese, egg, and avocado. It tasted fresh and made to order. I would definitely recommend it. …
