Café serving sweet and savory crêpes heads to South End. When does it open?

Hazelnuts Crêperie’s internationally-inspired treats can soon be found in South End Charlotte. The restaurant is poised to open a new location at 1750 Camden Road, just off West Boulevard, at the Camden Gallery Apartments. Owner Asi Agajan told CharlotteFive he’s aiming for an early 2027 debut. It will mark the crêperie’s second location; the other is on Rea Road in South Charlotte. “We originally started in uptown Charlotte in 2012, where we operated two locations, so we’re especially excited to be returning so close to where it all began,” Agajan said. Hazelnuts Crêperie offers both sweet and savory crêpes alongside espresso drinks from local roaster Enderly Coffee Co . Breakfast options include the “Americana” — made with eggs, cheddar, smoked turkey, avocado, spinach, tomato, red onion and a chipotle aioli. The delicate, French-style pancakes are typically enjoyed as a dessert — and there are plenty of indulgent options on the menu. “The Maple Dream” is topped with butter, powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Other treats include the Banana Nutella, Berry Delight and S’mores à la mode. What’s worth trying at Charlotte’s new Wegmans? Go for the sweets and sourdough “We’re not just a dessert or breakfast restaurant,”
