Joan's Bakery and Deli
1100 Metropolitan Ave, Charlotte, NC
Crema's Take
“Joan's Bakery and Deli is a neighborhood gem where original recipes from Joan herself shine brightest in the pastry case—their cheesecake is genuinely outstanding, and the rugelach alone is worth the trip. It's the kind of warm, unpretentious spot that does the classics well, with homemade sensibility baked into everything, making it perfect for a quick coffee and something sweet or lingering with friends over lunch.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
