Cute little find! Worth the one dollar I paid in the lot (to park) next door. It reminded me of Northern California ... a bake shop you might see in Berkeley (but in Sherman Oaks... imagine that!?). The neighborhood has really been built up in the past few years and since I lived in the area 20 years ago. Now I know where to go when I get my car serviced at the dealer... where to walk for a great sandwich! I had the vegan Bahn Mi and it did not disappoint! I had a vegan cookie while I waited (for my to-go order). The place gets real busy at lunch time so it's probably best to order ahead. The counter gal was super friendly and working those "to go" orders like nobody's business! Give that girl a bonus! It's a quaint place to dine in. The windows are high up, tho the place has a nice natural calm light ambiance, and you are not distracted with neighborhood construction or goings on. A better stop than the usual blank-bucks or other drive thru. The sammies are yummy and the bread is baked fresh! read more

Another restaurant I have to stop going to for letting dogs in the restaurant. Not only do they permit dogs but the person working the counter gave the dog a dish of treats while the owner waited for their order. This was a pet not a service animal. I thought this is against health department guidelines. It disgusts me. Pet owners are so entitled but management should discourage this behavior. I am a dog lover but this is getting to be too much. read more

Just had a wonderful lunch here while serving jury duty across the street. Service was super quick. Food was incredibly tasty and fresh. And the vibe is clean with a simplistic coolness. Oh, and you get a cookie with each menu item. I opted for the snickerdoodle. Delish! The only thing that was a miss was that I asked if my Mediterranean bowl had any garlic or onion because I get very bad reflux. There were some red onions in the dish, in the couscous I believe. I'll definitely be back since I'll be here for 2 weeks :-/ read more

Been here a few times. Food is always good and fresh. I've tried the bulgogi bowl, steak, and a couple sandwiches. Prices are a little high but the quality is there. You also get a choice of fruit or cookie with every meal and the cookies are pretty good. Owner and staff always very friendly and accommodating. Restaurant has a small indoor seating and a couple of tables outside. Seems like they do a lot of catering and to go orders. read more

Fresh, delicious and very affordable! I got the bulgogi bowl and finished every last bite. This place is a real gem hidden in the valley!

Was looking for a Starbucks or a coffee place to grab something to go as I surprisingly found this place. The vibes are super welcoming. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back to try something on the menu. read more

The only complaint I have for this place is they are ONLY open 11-2. Sometimes on my way home from work I think.... Maybe Ill pick something up but of course they are closed. Otherwise..... a GREAT lunch spot if you are in the area during that time. Everything Ive tried there is pretty tasty and super Fresh. The food is clean, and there are a ton of vegan options. The salmon is cooked perfectly every time. Although I try to sample everything on the menu, I would say so far the salmon is my favorite. The sesame noodle bowl is yummy also. I want to try the beet burgers also as it is popular. Today for lunch I had the choose 3 option where you choose two sides and a protein. I got the brussels, rice , butternut squash and salmon. So good......... Also the service is outstanding. You can eat there, inside and outside seating available. read more

I got a Mediterranean bowl with the skirt steak and the food was fresh, delicious and healthy! Upon arrival, I could not find the location, so I called and the woman on the phone did not make me feel dumb or rushed. She took her time to help me find where I was going and I was so appreciative of that. The ambiance was calm, cozy and quaint. I would definitely return and recommend for a quick and healthy bite to eat. read more

Really cozy and nice spot tucked in a van nuys neighborhood. Plenty of parking and quiet area. The service was friendly and food came out fairly quickly. Looked great and tasted amazing. I'd recommend for a casual brunch or lunch outing. They typically have cafe drinks except when I went their espresso machine was down but they have regular coffee. read more

Clean, high quality, delicious food. Friendly staff. What's not to love. I would be down to eat here every day. Thanks for existing and sharing your food with us. read more

This is THE best cafe to eat next to the Van Nuys courthouse. I ate here every day for lunch for 3 weeks while in trial. The sandwiches, salads, and bowls are all delicious and so fresh. Every meal comes with a yummy cookie of your choice! The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming. Such a gem of a place. Highly recommend. read more

Drove 20 minutes from Valencia to stop here and it's worth the drive. I had the fried chicken sandwich with french fries with homemade aïoli sauce and got a white chocolate chip cookie on the side for free.! Sandwich was crispy chicken and juicy on the inside. Pickles and slaw were wonderful. Hubby ordered the barbecue chicken Panini with a side salad and also got a cookie. Cheryl, the owner is very kind and gracious , service was super fast, and I highly recommend this read more

Everything always goes well! Always fresh and delicious. Amazing food and Cheryl is just so personable and beautiful. My only complaint is it closes too early! read more

I used Eileen for my graduation lunch on June 5th, and I honestly can't say enough good things! The food was absolutely delicious--every guest was raving about it--and as someone who is gluten- and dairy-free, I was beyond impressed by the variety and quality of options available to me. It's rare to find catering that's so thoughtful and inclusive without sacrificing taste or presentation. Eileen was kind, professional, and made the whole experience stress-free. If I'm ever in LA again and need catering, I'll absolutely be calling her again. Highly recommend! read more

This is a fantastic place to have lunch. I've eaten here at least 100 times. The food is incredible--great ingredients with recipes so well thought out that I literally leave every day telling the chef how much I enjoyed the meal. That is a fact. The prices are very reasonable. Further, the owners are incredibly welcoming and sweet. Yesterday I came in with my heel falling off my dress shoe. At the end of lunch, one of the owners repaired my shoe with a glue gun! Now, where else can someone get service like that! Nowhere. Specifics: I recommend the Mediterranean Bowl, but I've been impressed greatly by some of their weekly specials. They also cater so consider them for all of your large gatherings!! I recommend getting there around 12:30 to avoid the rush. The place is small but very nicely decorated. They offer takeout. Lastly, they serve many extremely healthy options so everyone can find something they will love. If you are in Van Nuys for lunch...Baked it Myself is the place to be. read more

Just found this spot. Good food and good service. The menu has options for a lot of different appetites. It's a solid local spot with a minimal, clean atmosphere. I'd go back. read more

For lunch today I was craving a sandwich. Baked it myself happened to be a recommended spot for me in Grubhub and menu looked good. Ended up ordering the tuna salad sandwich and the prosciutto caprese. Both came with a side salad and cookie. The food was delicious. You could taste the quality ingredients and freshness. I absolutely loved the fresh vegetables and their lemon dressing. I would've given this place 5* but the actual bread was a let down. I don't know if it was just an off day but the bread was dry and stale. Given this and it still getting a 4 rating blows my mind. That's how good these ingredients were!!!! I ended up having the tuna salad sandwich without the bread. The tuna was not overly mayo based. The balance of the red onions celery and lemon zest was impeccable. I'd honestly order for lunch again tomorrow! read more

This place was jus amazing, from my sandwich to the snickerdoodle cookie. I am not sure if they baked the bread that my sandwich was in, but it was so good. It was obvious that they take pride in what they serve. The bacon was top quality and the lentil soup was so hearty. Great spot for lunch. read more

It's a nice sandwich and salad place for lunch. We had the grilled chicken sandwich and BBQ panini. Both were delicious and they came with salads and cookies. Plenty of metered street parking available. Please support your local business as this place is a good one! read more

This place is a hidden gem in Van Nays near the Courthouse! It's away from the major street but there is street parking available. It small, but let me say the sandwiches are fire and the best part is the killer cookie that comes with it. They offer a fruit cup if you're trying to be health conscious- but please enjoy a free cookie!! There are several types of cookies, chocolate Chip, snickerdoodle, Oatmeal raisin & macadamia! The price isn't too expensive as most places near by. If you want to dine outside there are 3 small tables on a little deck to do so. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich which comes with a side salad. The salad is small with cucumbers & tomatoes and I believe they put some sort of lemon vinaigrette or maybe just a squeeze a lemon juice. It was hard to tell but it was good. Definitely a place to check out!! read more

I had the steak panini and it was absolutely delicious! They were very kind and helpful. It's not a super fast option BUT great if you are serving jury duty at the courthouse and have a long lunch. read more

Very good sandwich at a reasonable price. We got it "to go" and it came with a complimentary fruit salad, which we appreciated (I know that sometimes they send cookies instead). My husband's tofu salad was even better, and the dressing was right on point. Portions are filling and it's a good option if you're looking for a healthy lunch option that will not leave you hungry. read more

I workout right next to this place. I always run by and smell the food, so i decided to give it a try. Best decision !!!! This place is so good. I love my self a good Pesto sandwich! It's a great size, it's stuffed, and the salad was amazing as well. Then, I got some cookies! Omg forget about it! The cookies are yummmmmmyyyy I will for sure be back. It's like a cute small cafe, super clean. They even have an outdoor area you can sit at. It's perfect to grab some lunch anytime, and they have many healthy options! read more

Wow it's been a while I've had a skirt steak sandwich so gooood!. Omg first time here and impressed. Comes with a small salade and the dressing very well balanced dressing the bread fresh and the sauce on the steak all together is a homerun! Just make sure your car parking meter is paid they are fast here with ticketing almost got one ran out just in time. Can't tell how the cookies are they forgot to put it in my takeaway bag but I'm definitely coming back for more. Very friendly and attentive owner and staff. Great place. read more

Everything was so good. The food came out fast and it all tastes so fresh. The owner has been in business for 27 years and i see why! She was so friendly. Customer service was 10/10!!! Don't forget to try the cookies!! read more

We ate here everyday during trial and the food and service was great! The cookies were a nice treat too!

Delicious food! I was pleasantly surprised since it is in such a small random area. Will go back again

I'm so glad we found this place! The steak sandwich is fantastic! And for only $15 it comes with a side salad AND a cookie! This has become a go to spot for my husband and I to pick up two steak paninis and head to Lake Balboa or the nature preserve for a lovely local picnic. But they also travel really well because one day we picked them up and drove over an hour to the river in Azusa and they were still absolutely delicious with great texture all that time later. We haven't even tried anything else on the menu yet because it's so good. We also take food out but it's got a cute vibe and cute patio under the trees if you're dining in. read more

Delicious healthy food, reasonably priced, wonderful friendly service. Love that they have lots of vegetarian and vegan options, as well as gluten free bread for all their sandwiches. I love the trio where you can pick a protein and two sides. Their sides are so flavorful, especially the curried vegetables. I also really enjoy the tofu banh mi. This place is a treasure! read more

I am so excited to find this place. Came here for my lunch during jury duty expecting it to be packed and it wasn't. Food comes out quickly! And it's hot, fresh and DELICIOUS. I make beet burgers at home and am picky about my veggie burgers. This vegetarian beet burger was unreal. Very moist, but didn't fall apart. Great flavors. Comes with a small salad with a nice vinaigrette and a cookie. The actual establishment itself if bright and clean, with outdoor and indoor seating. What a gem.

Baked it myself has set the standards of baking cookies right at the throne. I have never tasted cookies so fresh, with every bite combination of white chocolate and whole macadamia nut!! It's insane and when I shared it to mums her eyes brightens up like a child! She say it's one of most savory cookies- reminded her of her childhood. I have ordered many times and every time it tastes as good!! I hope one day I can visit this wonderful place in person. Thank you so much for your wonderful cookies. Your place definitely earn the title of the hidden gems! read more
