Just Walk On By - Edit
They have a very limited vegan selection of baked goods. All the cookies and cakes are also gluten free. I bought a small cake. The best I can say is it edible but I would never buy it again.

Vegan and gluten free treats - Edit
Did you know inside of Bak & Jo in Mesa there is a vegan and gluten free baker??? Sweet Simon Cakes is the name. In the case daily, they have mini cakes called Bento cakes (chocolate and vanilla with sprinkles, perfect for the last minute I need a cake 😉), single cupcakes and huge cookie sandwhich - ALL VEGAN & GF !!! You can also call ahead and request something custom.
Read moreNow IMO the frosting is on the sweet side BUT I also mostly eat unrefined sweetened foods and lightly sweetened drinks as well but the flavors are there and most people have that sweet tooth so it won’t be too much for those types 😂
Yesterday we finally made it to Bak & Jo and even though they are not fully vegan they have really delicious breakfast/lunch options as well that also include gluten free options. Honestly probably one of the best tasting breakfast burritos I’ve had (requested to be made on a gluten free wrap), just notify if you have an intolerance or allergy. Also devoured by my 7 year old who is just as a foodie as I am.
The staff is really friendly and informative as to what was vegan and what was not and everything in the displace case is properly labeled.
I honestly can’t wait to try more treats.

NOT VEGAN ANYMORE - Edit
This was the BEST bakery around while April & Johnny ran it. But their nonvegan business partners kicked them out in May 2023 after only 1.5 months because they weren’t happy with the financial outcome. They converted it to a meat-serving location with minimal if any vegan options but kept the same name. I do not recommend supporting them when there are many better vegan, mission and value driven restaurants locally.

KINDNESS HAHAHA

Yeah it wasn’t very kind what happened to these beautiful people who spent their life savings in a vegan company.

Also lmao with your “non veg” status calling me unkind. Sounds like a projection to me.

So bashing their choice of how to stay in business as to location is helping these kind folks? They still provide vegan (and gluten free) treats to the community !!! Telling people to boycott them because they are sharing space with a place that serves non vegan food is crazy and out of pocket. Not to mention the place they are doing business out of also has great vegan options!!!! Wow!!! Please be a better human!!!

When I wrote this review, there were zero vegan options on the menu and I was very upset at how the vegan owners were treated by their nonvegan business partners. I stand by what I said. Reviews are opinions, mine doesn’t make me a bad human, get a life. You are a terrible representation of the vegan community. ✌️
