Joan’s Bakery & Deli (Coming Soon)

Opening this fall, Joan’s Bakery & Deli will have a selection of desserts on the menu including cheesecake, apple cake and carrot cake. In addition to sweets, Joan’s will become the new home for the popular Jewish deli pop-up, Meshugannah, which will carry staples including pastrami, corned beef sandwiches and more.

The History of Joan’s Bakery & Deli
Joan’s is named for owner Jon Dressler’s mother, who operated her own bakery, White Thumb, in New Jersey until 1980. She baked recipes derived from her mother and grandmother and was (and still is) most well known for her cheesecake. She returned to baking when Dressler’s opened their first restaurant in Charlotte. Joan made cheesecake for a weekend dessert feature, but it quickly became a staple on that menu and at every Rare Roots restaurant. For more than a decade, she baked all of the cakes herself but recently passed down her recipes to the Rare Roots team to continue her tradition.

Lost Worlds Brewing (Coming Soon)

Overlooking the greenway, Lost Worlds Brewing will be adorned with historical and archeological artifacts and will serve award-winning craft beer, cocktails, wine, cider, seltzer and experiences like beer pairing dinners. Lost Worlds Brewing prides itself on being an entertainment venue as much as a basecamp to grab a drink with friends and plot your next adventure. Expect book signings, running and cycling club events, holiday celebrations, special trips to important archaeological sites and beer education classes. Lost Worlds Brewing will be opening this winter!
