| - I was looking for a new place to grab a quick lunch with a friend in Uptown and decided on Hazelnuts Creperie for something a little more out of the box than the usual sandwich and chips. I'd seen their sign on Tryon Street a few times, which was the only way I knew this hidden spot existed, so I put on my metaphorical beret, hopped aboard my bicycle and pedaled over to Hazlenuts for a Parisian-inspired lunch date.
The place is small, but a good amount of seating is available in the lobby area of the office building where it's located. The menu isn't incredibly extensive, but they do have both savory and sweet options and a "create your own" choice that leaves it pretty much up to your imagination with a combination of meats, cheeses, toppings and sauces. My friend and I went the savory route - she created her own chicken and ranch crepe and I ordered the pesto chicken crepe. Both were $7, a good size, pretty tasty and ready in a flash. We would have gladly stuffed our faces with a dessert crepe smothered in Nutella, but alas, willpower won out and we resisted the temptation.
They had a little trouble ringing up my friend's "create your own" option at first, but the manager came by to check on us later and offered to sign us up for the free loyalty card, so the effort was definitely appreciated. Overall, Hazelnuts is a great option for a quick and tasty lunch.
