I had heard good things about the Crepe Cellar, so when a friend suggested it as a the location for group Sunday brunch my interests were piqued. Having passed by en route to other NoDa locations, I knew that seating was not particularly plentiful, but I was pleased when my roommate and I arrived first in our group (at 1:15) and were able to score a booth for six.  We ordered a french press of coffee to split (with the acknowledgment that we could always order another later) while we waited for the rest of our party. It was fresh, tasty and the timer they gave us to determine when the coffee was to our particular strength liking was both helpful and adorable, but there was no doubt we would be ordering seconds. I hate to admit it, but as a coffee fiend I would have sacrificed some on quality to add some quantity.\n\nOne of our friends used to work at Crepe Cellar, and she ordered a plate of pesto brie fries for the table. I owe here thanks for this because they were delightful, particularly when paired with their tomato ranch which she asked for on the side. I had had a hankering for shrimp and grits all week, so I was pleased to see that they were on the specials board. The grits were creamy but not pasty, the shrimp were plentiful and the gravy was perfectly seasoned and tasted of white wine and hugs. One of our friends ordered the mussels special, which came with a lemongrass & sweet chili sauce and between she and her boyfriend, not a mussel escaped uneaten. Our ex-employee companion got the eggs benedict. The roomie opted for the Sausage & Egg Breakfast Crepe. The flavor from the sausage and red peppers really shone through and the homefries which accompanied were nice and crisp. Where the coffee lacked quantity, the food certainly didn't (particularly the crepes) and I was forced to abandon my last shrimp to the dish pan.\n\nIt is hard to comment on the service since the waitress was friends with someone at our table so we were obviously well attended, but I did not get the impression that we would have been left wanting otherwise. The atmosphere was bright and perfectly suited for a Sunday brunch. Prices ran in the 8-13 dollar range for our main dishes, though be warned coffee will run you about 5 bucks.\n\nOverall, Crepe Cellar hit the spot and was a nice change of pace from our normal Sunday pancake routine.
