I think this could be one of the better breakfast burritos throughout LA but between staff and execution of the burrito, there were too many misses.
I placed an ordered online maybe 10 minutes before arriving and it was ready a few minutes after I walked in.
However, when I walked in and stood at the cashier, the two girls working did not acknowledge me, ask if I needed help, greet me, anything. They both seemed to be scrambling to hand off prior orders which I don't have a problem at all waiting for my turn, but it was pretty much one handing off the bag of food to the other then handing it to the customer. They both didn't need to do one person's job.
Once they acknowledged me they had my order on the pick-up shelf.
It's a hefty burrito and filled will. But for $17 it hardly had any cheese, and the bare minimum aioli or sour cream was at the last few bites of the burrito, not evenly dispersed.
The bacon was super crunchy, the potatoes were very crispy, the eggs were a bit dry, and overall the flavor was solid. But the side salsa sucked.
A few missed that would make me return to give them another chance and hope for better results.

Decent size and flavor, but 100% not worth the price. I tried the chile verde burrito and it had decent flavor but was also pretty oily and I would prefer it to be spicier. There are better burritos at better prices in Pasadena, but bbad could be a nice “one n’ done” if you want to try something different.
Can confirm that the burritos are delicious. Even better than I expected

This burrito is worth the $17. Get it how it comes. Don't let the sour cream deter you. Just get it. Those pave Potaoes will change your life.

Got the chili verde w/ pork breakfast burrito with an over easy egg. They don't skimp on the pork, but the green chile is very underwhelming. Mine was also too salty. In general, not a bad burrito but not one I'd make a point to have again, especially at these high prices.

Thanks to Kristie Hang’s IG reel for sharing this breakfast burrito spot! It’s located inside the Pasadena Hotel, which is a beautiful building.
Parking: You can park in the hotel parking structure (B1, B2, and 2nd level), then enter via elevator. There’s metered/paid street parking along Colorado Blvd. Bbad has a street-level entrance as well.
Food: I got the chile verde burrito $17, which has slow-cooked pork. It is on the salty side, especially as I got down to the end of the other side of the burrito. I chose to get scrambled eggs. The potato wedges inside were crispy! I highly recommend eating this while still hot otherwise the potato’s will be soggy. They gave me 3 different sauces to try. None of them were spicy. The brown one was pretty good. Forks and knives and napkins are on the bench/counter. Limited indoor seating here, but you can take the food to the hotel lobby or courtyard.
You can order via one of the two kiosks. On a weekday afternoon there was no line, but I did see that they had take out orders on their shelves.
Credit card/touch pay only (via kiosk). Hotel has free WiFi. Hotel has bathroom.

What did I just find here? These folks are pulling excellent shots however the breakfast burrito is something else entirely. Sorry no pictures. Didn’t put it down. My only complaint is that my tears of joy made the tortilla a little soggy.
Burritos are good but overpriced. They do have a good taste and are quite filling but even these days $17 is a bit for a simple breakfast burrito. You can certainly find a better burrito in Pasadena for about $5 less. I’ll still be heading over to seed bakery for the breakfast burrito fix.
The Chile Verde Burrito is THE BEST breakfast burrito i've ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection. The breakfast potatoes in the burrito's are actually made mille-feuille style which is INSANE. If you've ever tried to make a potato mille-feuille yourself, you'll know how much love and time goes into it. The pork is soft and juicy. Flavors and sauce were perfect. Wish i lived closer so I could come here more often.
Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? Abso-friggin-lutely

The Basic Bae-con is INSANELY DELICIOUS. I recommend both green and red salsas!

Great place to grab a top notch breakfast burrito and enjoy it at the beautiful pasadena hotel!! The staff is friendly, seating is lovely and the chile verde with braised pork is my fave breakfast burrito of all time!!

I saw this place mentioned in the LA Times as one of their favorite breakfast burrito places and this place lives up to the reputation and recommendation. The potatoes on these burritos are amazing and unique. The salsa isn't too spicy. Customers are allowed to use and sit in the lobby and courtyard of the Pasadena Hotel which is quite a gem.

I never thought espresso, oj and tonic would be so delicious. It totally works 🔥
