CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Months after flood waters destroyed The Batch House in November 2020, the Charlotte bakery is getting a new home.
The beloved bakery has leased space at Station West, a retail development located at 901 & 919 Berryhill Road northwest of uptown Charlotte.
Owner Cristina Rojas-Agurcia, who is known to her customers as “The Batchmaker,” was forced to relocate from her former West Charlotte bakery last year. The devasting flood came just months after earning the titles of Charlotte’s Best Bakery and Best Cookie by Charlotte Magazine.

The original Batch House was not only known for its baked goods but as a place where customers felt as if they were visiting their closest friends or family’s house. The bakery was decorated with vintage furniture and included a slight nod to The Golden Girls, Rojas-Agurcia’s favorite show, all of which she plans to recreate for The Batch House 2.0.
The new space is currently under construction and eyeing an end of summer completion.
The Batch House will have a pop-up Mother’s Day event at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 8th, where the bakery will offer its award-winning pastries to those who have been eagerly awaiting its return.
“I am excited for a new season of The Batch House and I couldn’t be more excited that we found a home in Station West, where the heart of being a community and serving the community is as important to them as it is to us,” said owner Rojas-Agurcia. “We are thankful for every step that got us to this path and continue to be amazed at how things fell into place so timely. I’m forever grateful for everyone that helped us get here. We are ready to serve our beautiful city and excited for Charlotte to see our new shop when it’s complete.”
