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!

Small little shop with probably the best sandwiches in the valley. Open only at certain times during lunch. Cute indoors and very enjoyable staff. Limited outdoor space though

This place is dope. The ladies that work here are so nice I wish they could adopt me and give me words of encouragement. The baked goods are so good you'd think they're made in a lab. The food omg. My boyfriend LOVED his steak sandwich he almost ate the whole thing and that boy never eats. Such a cute little place with a nice outdoor area to eat. I wish nothing but the best for this business! Y'all are baddies with cooking and baking skills!

What a find! My office staff told me I had to try it and they were right! The food is outstanding, so fresh and delicious. We ordered for an office patty and everyone raved! I then ordered a few items today for my kids and they raved at how good the food was. Their first comment was it was so fresh and good I will need to put this place on speed dial. Highly recommend. Amazing food.

Cheryl and her team were absolutely amazing. They catered my vegan wedding in May of 2021 and they were amazing to work with from start to finish. Cheryl was super responsive and prompt in all communications leading up to the wedding. The tasting was so much fun and the day-of staff was amazing. As the bride and groom, you have a lot going on but Cheryl had one specific staff member chase us down multiple times throughout the night to grab us drinks and snacks and make sure we ate!

So thoughtful and amazing. Every guest was blown away at the food. It's rare for wedding food to be good, let alone VEGAN wedding food! All our guests said the food was so amazing. So glad we had this team at our wedding, wouldn't want anyone else! Thank you Cheryl and the Baked It Myself team for an amazing night and a meal that none of our wedding guests could forget even if they wanted to!

My friend and I decided to order lunch. We called in the our order. The food was ready very quickly. Great menu and they have vegan/vegetarian options. My friend ordered the salmon dish and I had the cauliflower pasta. I enjoyed my dish. I plan to order or visit this spot again.

My top site for quality Cafe food. Arrived at six, it was not packed. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. The bill was good for what you get.

I have not physically visited this establishment, I'm only familiar with this lovely gem through DoorDash. I have fallen madly, deeply in love with the Tofu Bahn Mi. My goodness, where do I even start. The tofu is perfection. The bread is toasted just right. The slaw is a thing of beauty. The sauce, pure magic. Those jalapeno bites. Mmm! This sandwich has the ability to realign your karma so that nothing but good things happen to you the rest of the day.

You will feel loved by the universe and nothing, NOTHING, can ruin your good vibes. You will eat it, love it, and then think about it forever. It will come to you in your dreams like a siren's song wistfully beckoning you forward. If you had a genie in a lamp and asked it for the perfect sandwich. it would bring you THIS Tofu Bahn Mi. Seriously. I want to eat it all day every day. Forever and ever. And ever. I love you, Tofu Bahn Mi.

This little gem is truly a hidden treasure. Used to come here almost every week when I worked in Van Nuys. Amazing food, sandwiches are top notch in quality and taste. Prices are super reasonable and there's no reason you shouldn't come check this place out!

Good food although I feel it's slightly overpriced. My bread has always been 'toasted' to the point of straight up crunch.

I came here for a tasting and all the food I had was amazing! I think this was the first time in my life I've ever had a falafel that wasn't dry, it was moist and delicious! I wish my husband was with me to try it because he always complains about dry falafel, haha. Also had a turkey burger slider, beet vegan slider, and chicken skewers all on point.

Lemon bars, blueberry bars and brownies? Yes please! If you're in need of a caterer they will build a menu to fit your style and desired menu. I was so happy with this tasting, definitely recommend!

A hidden gem in Van Nuys! They're without a doubt my best option for lunch time, I love everything on their menu. The owner is so nice and sweet and so is her staff, if you're looking for something healthy and delicious, this is the best place to come. Their cookies are a must cinnamon are my favorites.
