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.

I really wanted to like this place. Ruebens are one of my favorites! Unfortunately, the rueben sandwiches my group got were really inedible (except for the person who got the turkey rachel). The corned beef was rubber. The sandwich was $27 and it’s really just a normal sized sandwich. And no indoor seating. The knish was alright.

Have ordered the plain cheesecake a couple times. Outstanding cheesecake with a dusting of cinnamon on top makes a nice touch too. Haven’t tried anything else but the great cheesecake is a wonderful start! YUM!!!

Ordered from Dressler’s menu. Cheesecake definitely best, but apple crisp needs less cinnamon, couldn’t taste anything else but it.

Original recipes from Joan herself and Chef Scott and Rob overseeing every aspect of the operation, you know you won't be disappointed. Indulge in the very best of Rare Roots Restaurant desserts and delicious sandwiches inspired by Jon Dressler's mother's recipes. And let's not forget about the baked delights! At Joan's, they never skimp on the details. Trust me, you won't want to miss out on exploring all that this finely tuned operation has to offer. Check it out for yourself, you will not be disappointed!

Joans Bakery and Deli - very good! Loved the rugelach, worth a visit for sure! Guess it would’ve helped if I had explained what everything was. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sorry finally got my 2nd cup of coffee in me this morning. We did a corn beef sandwich Reuben style, the other was pastrami, a half and half pickle and chopped chicken liver.
