I came to the farmers market to finally try Verdant and had to wait in a 10 minute line (clearly…read moreone of the more popular places). They had already run out of a few things, but I was able to snag a plain croissant and a cornmeal cookie. The croissant had an interesting earthy flavor but was not as buttery as I typically like them. The cornmeal cookie was the best thing I've had in a while. It was like a dense sugar cookie with an earthy corn flavor. Will definitely be back to try out some other breads and other goodies.

Greetings Yelpers!…read more Listen and learn from this Mensch Ex-Deli Man! - I've been so excited about visiting Joan's Bakery & Deli since migrating here to Charlotte in December 2024. "Oy Vey Iz Mir!" Why don't I get started? - I really wanted to give this place 5 Stars - for many selfish reasons; - But I was truly disappointed from the lack of response I received from management. The Yelp reviews advised avoiding the Matzah Ball Soup - so I took heed to these words from fellow Yelpers. Kinehora - B"H - Thank G-d, I was able to find this place. I believe it's facing some sort of Park. The location is wonderful - But wonderful, so long as the weather is cooperating. What is the long term plan for this place? Who own this? Is this some sort of experiment or trial? - The marking on the lovely bag that I was handed my order in - are puzzling to me. I can't help it - I'm naturally inquisitive. From what I can deduce, this place is owned by the folks who own Dressler's. Seating is strictly outsides! Again - Praise G-d! - It was unseasonably mild and lovely last Saturday Morning - I really should have been in Shul. This ordeal would teach me a lesson for being a naughty boy on Shabbos. Let's lay the cards on the table: Let's all stop referring to this place as a Jewish Deli; - There is nothing Kosher about this place. This is a "Hipster Spin" on "The Jewish Deli" - Why would you "Spin" things the way you have? "We" have been doing the Kosher Deli right for centuries. My G-d! Come on! I ordered the Pastrami Sandwich; - The Meat was pretty good; - Dry, despite requesting it "Juicy" - I got a blank stare from the friendly chap that took my order. This is more like "Montreal Smoked Meat" - The meat is cut thick and so, it has its own character. But, it is dry and chewy; - It just doesn't melt in your mouth the way it should. The so called "Potato Knish" was an abomination! Better to describe the entire episode as a "Shanda" - I'm sure those who are reading this understand! - Why / Who would fill a Potato Knish with Cheese? - Why did you do this? This made me sad the entire weekend! - This was the final blow! Our tragedy continues with a feeble attempt at Rye Bread - which was nothing more than White Bread with Rye Seeds; It was not good. Russian dressing was nice; Again - I had some blank looks on my face - when I requested it. Biggest disappointment was the "Hipster Mustard" - What planet did that come from? - Best to stick with the standard "Deli Mustard" - we've been doing it with this for centuries - Come on guys! Did you do any research? Because of our traditions, we've kept our balance for many, many years. Even here in Charlotte we have traditions for everything, how to eat, how to sleep, even, how to wear clothes. I was amazed at the diverse crowd of patrons that came with their own unique neurosis and mishegoss. Fortunately, for your sake they were an unsophisticated lot. Overall - an OK experience that was shattered by a "Hipster - Cheese/Potato - Cake" - Come on guys? Get some Kasha and take a ride up to Yonah Schimmel's. I was truly so saddened, that I didn't even want to try the delicious looking Babka, for fear of being let done. It did look nice! Tradition! Thank G-d for Lee @ Katz Deli in Charlotte who's knows a bit about tradition. I get it, a true Kosher Deli would not work in Charlotte! Too many obstacles! Not enough demand and way to expensive. To those reading this, I urge you to give this place a try. I just can't tell a lie! Tradition! Without our traditions, our lives would be as shaky as . . . as a fiddler on the roof! Constructive criticism, I truly hope you will make some changes. I truly hope you will allow me to return!

Loved this new Jewish deli and bakery in the Metropolitan area of Charlotte!…read more I got the pastrami sandwich and it was really good. The pastrami was leaner than I would have liked but still flavorful. The mustard was super strong, so I don't recommend adding any more than the little bit they put on the sandwich. The potato onion knish was amazing! I got mine heated up. It was super creamy and very flavorful. I also got the half dozen rugelach. I did half chocolate and half apricot. Both were very good. I liked the apricot a little more though. Overall, everything was really good! I would definitely come back and try the other pastries and cakes that they offer

Avoid the Pastrami - My G-d, felt like they popped it out of a package.

This was my first visit to this location. When I walked in, I was greeted by a young man who was…read morevery polite, which I appreciated. I ordered the Biscoff waffle and the Strawberry Specialty waffle. When my order arrived, the presentation was quite pleasant; however, the experience quickly went downhill. The waffles were cold and very hard to cut. The texture was not what I expect from a fresh waffle. I usually visit the SouthPark location (if it's still open), and this experience did not compare. I was able to eat the Biscoff waffle, but the Strawberry Specialty waffle was so bad that I ended up throwing it away. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I will not be returning.
