The food and staff here are amazing. We ate here for three weeks during trial. They were such a breath of fresh air. Very welcoming and kind. The food is very fresh with many healthy but extremely tasty options. Thank you for being our home away from home.

it was exactly what we were looking for and definitely will be back! Delicious fresh thoughtful food, something for everyone. As a vegetarian I was delighted at the options. I had the roasted cauliflower and yam salad and it was scrumptious. Not to mention they have outdoor seating in the shade which is lovely and they welcomed my doggies with a bowl of water and chunks of chicken! thanks!

Somehow missed Baked It Myself until I walked past it, but it's SUCH a neighborhood gem! I got the smoky vegan beet burger (so good, exactly what I wanted) and will be back to try more! There was an option between a cookie and a fruit cup - get the cookie.

I've been here 3 times! I found my lunch place. I was so sad when my doctor put me on a vegan diet because I have no idea how to prepare these types of meals. The next day after my doctors appointment, I came in for "coffee," and to my surprise, their menu is exactly what the dr prescribed!!! I am absolutely in love with their sesame noodle bowl. Can't wait to try the rest of their items. To make it even better, their service is absolutely wonderful.

I've lived in the neighborhood and always knew Baked It Myself was here but because of work and just being plain forgetful, i never had the chance to try it until a few weeks ago. I've been there once a week since and i'll continue to be a regular. Some of the best food in the area for a great price. I've stuck to their sandwiches so far: hanger steak panini, brie prosciutto and pear and the fried chicken and fries special. all three HIT. and the delicious free cookie with them is icing on the cake. it's a side street on van nuys, no frills cozy inside with outdoor seating that's actually on one of the nicer feeling streets in this area. Highly recommended.

This is our go to place for lunch! The food is delicious, lots of healthy options. I recommend ordering ahead if you’re coming by at lunch. The orange dot trio is my go-to. Hubby loves the Niçoise Salad. But I’ve not had a bad meal there.
