| - This place is easy to miss, tucked as it is on the first floor of one of the many office towers in downtown (or, rather, "uptown") Charlotte. That would be a shame because this was a nice place to grab a made-to-order but quick, casual, and tasty Sunday breakfast. That said, I don't know that I would necessarily go out of my way for a return visit (for reasons I give below).
Hazelnuts offers breakfast, savory, vegetarian, and sweet crepes, as well as "do it yourself" options. My friend had "The Maple Dream" (egg, chedder, bacon, maple syrup, butter and powdered sugar with walnuts added). If you think of crepes as being very thin pancakes (a la Talladega Nights), then you can see this is like a great American breakfast all in one neat package.
I prefer savory, so I had the curry chicken crepe, with "medium" heat (yellow) curry and the heat was spot on and the flavor very good.
So, four star food. I took a star away from my overall rating for two reasons: (1) everything is served on paper plates with plastic silverware, which I dislike for environmental reasons. (2) They charge $1.00 for a refill of a small coffee. Ouch. These two things left a bad taste in my mouth.
