    I'm not usually a fan of burritos, but this breakfast burrito was delicious! I chose the bacon version and it was the perfect bite. Love how the tater tots stayed crispy inside and the eggs were so fluffy. It was well worth the hype!

    Steak burrito and vanilla latte

    Love the simple concept and vibe of this location, visiting family here in Pasadena and this place caught my eye because of the raves of the burrito and it did not miss!!! I am still thinking about it, I will come back every time I visit now. My vanilla latte was perfectly made not too strong and not too sweet and the right color lol

    Amazing food quality and great coffee! A lot of people complain about the burrito size compared to the price but they also have a no tipping policy. They're pricing, which honestly isn't crazy, reflects tip and benefits for employees. Wish more places did this

    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.

    My wife brought me here knowing how much I love breakfast burritos. I love the location of this spot. Great part of Pasadena. The inside does remind me of a "pop up" location. The customer service was pretty good. The food and coffee were made pretty fast. The quality and food and drinks were excellent! Packed with flavor. My one and only issue was for 2 burritos and 2 drinks, I paid a little over $50. The burritos are a decent size, not too small but not very big. I'd definitely recommend this spot and I'll definitely return just not quickly.

    I've been wanting to try this spot for awhile, but they have limited hours. You can order online or in person, but it took awhile for someone to come take my order. The burrito was pricey after adding different types of meat especially for the size of the burrito. I thought it was going to be bigger. The burrito was so delicious and flavorful. It had crunchy tater tots and I tried both the cilantro crema and chipotle aioli sauce with it. I thoroughly enjoy both of the sauces. There's a bunch of seating inside, bathrooms around the corner, and water station.

    A dystopian vision of food, that feels like it's created by a combination of an MBA class, an algorithm and a private equity house. The food: The burrito is basically fine. But the menu feels like it's entirely built around upselling pricing strategy. The breakfast burrito starts at $12 but you want beans, that's extra. You want bacon, that's a 40% premium at an extra $5. So for what most people would think of as the basic building blocks of a breakfast burrito (eggs, beans, potato and a breakfast meat) isn't actually $12, instead its $20 which I think is why so many people complain about it being expensive. And given the fixed size of the tortilla, adding beans and bacon probably means putting in less of everything else anyway. And the avocado in my burrito was seriously over-ripe and should not have been used. I've seen other reviews saying that people have been served rock hard avocados so clearly there's poor quality control and produce management. Also, the crema is disgusting. All powdered garlic and indigestion. The location: This is probably the worst part. It feels like stepping into a ghost kitchen with a temporary space to sit in. The music is unpleasantly loud, the windows are covered, the seating area is blocked off from the kitchen by some temporary barriers, and it's a thoroughly inhospitable space. 80% of the orders seem to be made online and through delivery apps and every attempt has been made to take the human out of the experience even down to the collection lockers that people open by checking in at an iPad. That could have been a job for a human, instead it's a larger profit margin for the company, because it isn't showing up in a lower cost of product. I fear this is what restaurants will all start to look like in the era of AI and post-Covid food delivery, and I'm not here for it. Even if the burrito was excellent I'd avoid going back, but it was mid and the avocado was rancid, so that seals the deal.

    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.

    Disgustingly rotten avocado in a freshly made steak breakfast burrito
    Kevin L.

    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.

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

    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.

    Matcha latte

    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?

    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

When I asked about the prep station and whether gloves or utensils could be changed, she refused to ask the cooks. From what I was told, nearly everything shares the same grill. The only item that might potentially be safe would be eggs cooked in a separate pan, but without changing gloves or utensils, even that would not actually be safe for someone with Celiac disease. I ended up not eating at all. I actually left my party and waited in the car because I wanted to cry. It was embarrassing and honestly heartbreaking to feel like asking questions to protect my health was treated like an inconvenience. I completely understand not every restaurant can accommodate Celiac, but kindness, honesty, and basic understanding go a long way. I hope the staff can receive better education about food allergies and cross contamination in the future.
