Spanel really is lovely.
A very familial little joint, the buckwheat crêpes are also fantastic. Granted, buckwheat isn't everyone's jam- if you're inclined towards crêpes of the purple-grey variety this is your spot. I was rather pleased with the brunch special which is one of the crêpes with a latte and a mimosa for $20. Right up my alley.
Major pluses: they take reservations if you're a bigger group and they'll gladly veganize most of the menu. The crêpes themselves are vegan so it's all about subbing the filling for something you can eat. Just make sure you mention that's what you're up to otherwise they'll butter the crêpes.
If I really had my morning game together I would definitely check out one of their morning specials.
