In the heart of DTLA, Wake & Late serves up crave-worthy breakfast burritos—perfectly packed with fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and tater tots, all wrapped in a fresh tortilla, ideal for a grab-and-go feast, minus the seating.
"Known for its breakfast offerings, favored by Mona Holmes." - Eater Staff
"With options and add-ons galore, Wake & Late is meant for all morning commuters — even if it is available throughout the day. The soft, cheesy eggs and tater tot base really set this one up for success no matter what a diner might throw at it, making this Downtown walk-up one of the best places for a burrito anywhere in Southern California. The breakfast burritos are also available at the second location in Pasadena." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
"Sundays By Wake & Late is a bonafide DTLA breakfast burrito specialist. We typically order the steak burrito, which comes with medium-rare sirloin, avocado, pickled jalapeños, fluffy scrambled eggs, and as many tater tots as a middle school lunch plate (this is a good thing). Their house hot sauce on the side is also excellent. Our only complaint is that despite the quality, it's not a large burrito for the price. So if you're just looking for some protein and potatoes to fill you up, this might not be your place." - nikko duren, garrett snyder
"Wake and Late is one of those freaky perfectionist types. After they all but perfected the breakfast burrito, they decided to add sourdough bagels to their menu, and, well, they're nearly perfect, too. This DTLA window (with a Pasadena location) offers small “rip-and-dip” bagels that arrive warm in a bag, with a glossy, snappy crust and insides that are fluffy and moist with big air bubbles. True to their name, the bagels tear apart effortlessly, but more strangely, there’s also a minimum two-bagel order (which at $6 for two, we're fine with). Two dips are also included—we love combining the sweet caramelized onion bagel with the lox cream cheese, which has lemon zest, capers, and fresh dill mixed in." - sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder
"Something about a Sunday morning makes the call of a breakfast burrito sound like a siren song. It just doesn’t get much better than crispy potatoes, cheesy eggs, and salty bacon wrapped in a warm tortilla with salsa on the side to drizzle. It also doesn’t hurt that Wake & Late is currently making some of the best breakfast burritos in town, along with rip-and-dip bagels (don’t knock it until you try it). The burritos are available in a bevy of options including bacon, pastrami, vegetarian, and vegan, which is made with a tofu scramble. Best of all, they hold up to takeout." - Eater Staff
