It was amazing. We went there a couple of times during our trip for breakfast and dinner.

Cafe Intermezzo is an excellent choice for breakfast. We enjoyed the American omelet and Eggs Benedict; both were delicious and cooked to perfection. The iced coffee was excellent, although the cranberry juice contained a bit too much ice. The atmosphere is one of the highlights of this location. The interior features a vintage 19th-century European coffeehouse design inspired by Viennese and Parisian cafés, with dark wood, dim lighting, and classic details that create a cozy, romantic ambiance. Paid parking is available across the street for $10. Our hostess, Tina, was very welcoming. Please note that the establishment is cashless and does not offer a military discount. If you are looking for great food, prompt service, and a unique atmosphere, I would recommend Cafe Intermezzo. read more

Brunch in Atlanta done right! If you're ever in ATL, Café Intermezzo is definitely worth the stop. The atmosphere is cozy and elegant, the food was fresh, and every bite was delicious. We had: Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict Creamy seafood dip served with toasted bread French toast topped with fresh strawberries And one of the most over-the-top #WHITE hot chocolates I've ever had! From the presentation to the flavors, everything was on point. If you love a good breakfast, great service, or brunch spot, add this one to your list. Definitely a place I'd visit again! #AtlantaEats #CafeIntermezzo #BrunchGoals #Foodie #BreakfastDoneRight read more

Pleasantly surprised! Sat outside...great cafe ambiance, pleasant service. I ordered the croissant sandwich with Swiss cheese, sub chicken sausage, and salad for the side. I also requested a side of aioli. The sandwich was enough for two people! I rolled the tomato and onion from my salad into the half sandwich I ate and with the aioli, it was delicious! To drink I ordered the Turkish coffee. I didn't realize it was served espresso style, but I added cream and sugar to it and it was very flavorful! read more

I had such a really nice time here. The inside is small so it gives an intimate feel. My server was Betty. I was a little under the weather so I asked for tea. They have a very extensive tea menu, organic and caffeinated. They also offer many options for hot chocolate. Many options for food including sandwiches, pasta, and crepes. I got the tortellini pasta and added chicken. It says it's spicy on the menu so I asked for "less spice" just because of the cold I had. Now the desserts were the star of the show lol my friend and I got cheesecake to go. The serving size is massive. Took me three days to eat it at home. Some of the best cheesecake I've had in a very long time. I'm only giving four stars because our server wasn't the best but she was nice I'll say. I'd definitely go back. read more

Came here recently for late night drinks and had a great time. When we got there past 11pm, there was a 15 min wait for tables so we sat at the bar and opted to stay there the whole time because we liked the bartender and didn't plan on ordering a meal anyways. The cocktail menu was one of the best I've ever seen, multiple that I really wanted to try. I loved their signature deluxe take on an espresso martini with salted caramel liqueur, would 100% recommend. The peach martini was a little underwhelming but the Vi Olson Inside Out was amazingg. We got hummus which was a great serving size and came with warm naan. The cakes looked amazing although we didn't try any. Service was so nice and there was way more seating inside than I thought from seeing the outside. Loved the ambiance. Reasonable prices too. Overall: amazing late night vibe for classy drinks with a great drink selection, good apps, amazing service, and what looks like tasty cakes too. Would love to come back to try some. read more

We went strictly for deserts because this is a perfect place to get a desert and a nice glass of Cava to enjoy anytime of day. They have a variety of cakes and similar treats and a very nice selection of things to drink as well. We were sad to find the breakfast menu looked amazing because we didn't have a chance to have breakfast here and wished we had. Service was friendly and accommodating to our larger group who didn't know what we wanted to order. read more

Service- our waitress was very attentive and kind. No qualms. Ambience- has that classic traditional euro cafe vibe with lots of warm dark wood, small round glass tables, and indoor and outdoor seating. Classic, no problems. Food- I ordered a Belgium waffle with coconut mango, which was basically a waffle with powdered sugar, mango jam, and coconut flakes. The waffle was hot, crispy, delicious. The jam was sweet but tasted a bit generic and could have easily been mistaken for peach jam. The mango flavor just wasn't very apparent. It was good but not memorable and overall it was very one note and too sweet. I think the usage of fresh mango and a coconut cream, or a crunchy coconut flake, and an herb such as basil mint or thyme would have really elevated this. I also tried their spicy tortellini. This was good, the portion is nice, the temperature was piping hot, the tortellini had a good bite and texture. Where it lacked was in flavor and dimension. Again, it tasted like very one note and the cream and cheese and pasta just all kind of blend into one experience in a very bland way. There wasn't no variety in texture or flavor, no pops of color, no sense of fresh herbs or citrus, no differentiating textures. Overall, with what limited portion of the menu I tried, I wouldn't return for these items. They were just okay and they didn't perform to the level I expected for such a well known cafe in Atlanta. read more

This cafe was right next to the hotel we were staying at (Loews Hotel), so we decided to stop by for brunch, and we were very happy we did! We visited on a Saturday morning and were immediately seated as a party of 5, which we were surprised by considering the people in front of us were given a wait time. The vibe of the space gives off European chic and made the experience even more enjoyable. I ordered an iced vanilla latte, which was decent. I really enjoyed the American Omelette. I also tried a side of the French toast to satisfy my sweet tooth, which was decent and got the job done (but nothing super memorable). Overall, all of the food was a hit amongst our table. Our server was very kind, attentive, and answered all of our questions. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Cafe Intermezzo! read more

Cafe Intermezzo in Midtown has long been one of my favorite spots for desserts to go, but this time my party and I decided to dine in and really enjoy the atmosphere. I ordered one of my personal favorites, the tres leches cake, which is always a solid choice. We were seated in Betty's section, and she was very attentive and quick throughout the evening. We only ordered desserts and water this visit, but the experience was still lovely. There was a slight misunderstanding when the tiramisu cake was brought out instead of the tiramisu cheesecake that was ordered. Betty immediately corrected it with no issue and quickly brought out the cheesecake, which ended up being really delicious. Cafe Intermezzo is such a great spot for catching up with friends, a casual date night, or simply satisfying a dessert craving. Their cheesecakes and cakes are consistently good, and they also make some excellent cocktails, although I skipped drinks this visit. Overall, it is still one of my favorite dessert spots in Midtown. read more

I just stumbled across this place while shopping at perimeter mall. I was originally looking for a coffee shop. I briefly looked it up on Google and thought to trying it. It's in the cutest shopping mall with other restaurants and shops. The café is French themed. Very dark and moody with lots of mirrors that make the café feel much bigger than what it is. Multiple water fountains, music was peaceful. We had ordered coffee and salad. Everything was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and kind. Although I didn't get to try their desserts they looked delicious. It looks very fancy, but don't let it fool you. This is a very low-key cool spot to go to. Would definitely go again. read more

This was my first time visiting Café Intermezzo in Atlanta, and it was such a wonderful experience. I met up with a few friends there, and I quickly learned about the history of the restaurant and how it has been a part of the Atlanta area since the 1970s. The ambiance was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect setting for catching up and enjoying good conversation. Our waiter was attentive, accommodating, and took great care of our group of five throughout the visit. I ordered the white chocolate hot chocolate, and it was served in a beautiful cup overflowing with marshmallows, making it feel like a special treat. My meal was delicious, and everyone in our group seemed to thoroughly enjoy their food as well. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience, and I can definitely see why this restaurant has remained a favorite for so many years. read more

Food: I only ordered cake here since I heard this place is best known for their cakes and coffee, and not as well liked for their food. I was surprised that they only had cheesecake and not actual cakes. Nonetheless, we got the cannoli cheesecake which I enjoyed. It was a good balance of light and fluffy from the makeshift cannoli cream with the rich and creaminess from the NY-style cheesecake. I will say I was disappointed that they didn't add real cannoli cream, or they make their cannoli cream very different than how it's typically make. Even the half cannoli on top was stuffed with whipped cream and frosting, instead of cannoli cream. Also, they added an orange extract or liquor to the cake which gave it a strange taste. But it was still tasty and the slice is massive - definitely enough for two people. Ambiance: the place is very cute instead. It gives off European-vibes and I really liked the ambiance. Location: they are located in Midtown, a few blocks from Piedmont Park. They validate parking (up to 2 hours) at the Loews hotel garage around the corner. Service: the host and server were very kind and attentive. They constantly checked in on us and refilled our waters. read more

Not one, not two, but THREE delectable vegan cake options!! I tried the chocolate raspberry mousse and the strawberry cake, and both were absolutely out of this world. They also had a carrot cake, making this hands down the best spot for vegan cake options in Atlanta. Service was impeccable. The hostess and server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. The ambience was lovely and I would absolutely come back. Update: I seriously struggled with parking. (It took about 20 minutes just to sort out bc parking across the street runs $20, the deck is $10 per 30 minutes, and while street parking is cheaper, it's nearly impossible to find); however, I was later informed (see manager's note below) that parking is free and they'll validate you for up to 2 hours if you park in the deck off of 12th St! So, don't repeat my mistake and get your ticket validated! read more

An Atlanta connoisseur, my husband made it a point to have us stop here - directly after landing at the airport and before checking into our hotel. From long ago, he has fond memories of the previous location and has raved about it. His nostalgia was bittersweet, as this new location is trying to carry on the vibe, but he feels strongly that it feels less charming and more corporate/transactional, given the area. On this Friday night, around 11 pm, I was impressed to see the cafe full and bustling with guests seated at outdoor tables in addition to a full indoor dining room. There was a short wait for a table for two, during which I admired the cheesecakes and cakes in the dessert case. The hosts were super friendly and welcomed us with charm and smiles, and our server was great. Our table was perfectly in the middle of it all, giving us a great view of all the happenings around us. This cafe is moody and dramatic and certainly exudes what you would picture as a European cafe. Picture marble statue motifs, heavy tapestry, ornate gold details, deep burgundy, and chocolate-brown decorative elements. The menus presented to us were last updated in June 2025, and I would have loved to see a fresh lineup for January. We weren't very hungry but decided to have quick drinks and share the baked Brie, which was a game-changer! The Brie is loaded with honey, pepper, and almonds, served with four toasted baguette slices. Baked Brie is a tried and true appetizer, but this one takes the cake as my favorite at this point -- and I will be trying to recreate it at home! I love that this Cafe is known for a great gathering place even in late hours. What a great option to grab a bite and enjoy conversation until 1 am! read more

This place is a great option for brunch. Their menu does seem to be limited on what they actually have but the dessert which is a tiramisu was phenomenal. Service is a bit slow, but they do have inside and outdoor seating. Making the ambience into good Day sitting outside and enjoying the fresh air. I definitely recommend this if you're not pressed for time and can sit around for a few hours having mimosas and enjoying the outdoors. read more

One of my favorite dessert spots of all-time that also serves up an excellent choice of liqueurs. This visit I had just enough time to get a chocolate cake to go. Deliciously rich a triple chocolate cake. Truly decadent and worth every penny! I was also happy that they provide validation for the nearby public parking lot. The place was packed (as usual). It's a great place to hang out, socialize, wind down, or wind up depending on your mood and time. read more

Girls' night out and we picked the perfect spot! To sum up, we demolished the bruschetta, mussels, and seafood dip (all phenomenal). Then the cucumber martini did EXACTLY what it needed to do. They were definitely felt. Service was on point throughout the night, and I loved the warm, dark brown tones that made everything feel so cozy despite the place still being pretty spacious. I even grabbed a dessert to go because...why not? And it was just as flaky and buttery as I could imagine (even for someone that doesn't like sweets much). I haven't tried their breakfast yet, but believe I'll be back for that. Quick note on parking: there are plenty of garages nearby, so you'll surely find a spot. Just be prepared to pay for it. I think it's worth it though! read more

Our daughter chose this restaurant for her Uber order on Tuesday, September 30. Since it's midterms week, she wanted something that would be nice and fulfilling and something different. We ordered the smoked salmon, pasta, and spinach artichoke dip. Everything was packaged very well.. and the taste of the food was good also. The order is a little pricey via the Uber app. It may be a little bit cheaper if you order online through their website, but the price of everything was about $35 not including tax and or tip. read more

Celebrating my son's 15th Birthday! I thought this was going to be a treat for them but service is horribly slow and it was not crowded, we were able to immediately get a table but they seem to be short in staff. Presentation of the food was beautiful but it was not hot. And,after eating at other breakfast spaces in Atlanta, the french toast is underwhelming. I love eating outdoors and people watching- my tip is to sit in the back or inside seat as the sun was brutal., read more

Ok I was leaning towards getting the tres leche but their tiramisu is imported from Italy! You already know that was the best tiramisu I've ever had. Perfectly creaminess and espresso flavor. It's not overly sweet either. Just make sure you share it. It was pretty filling! Shoutout to our server for the recommendations! read more

I've been coming to Cafe Intermezzo for years and had some friends in town and wanted to show them do an after dinner coffee and cake. I had a terrible experience and left embarrassed that I brought people here. We ordered the hot chocolate intermezzo and the triple chocolate cake. The hot chocolate arrived to my table ice cold-- no exaggeration. Like they forgot to actually warm the milk before making the drink. The cake was stale and tasted like it was baked days ago and kept in the refrigerator. I couldn't even stomach one bite. Nothing was fresh or made well. The worst part was our server was hanging out and took 10 minutes to come to our table to check on us post food delivery. Terrible experience, probably won't be back for a while. read more

Sunday night, babe, and I decided to have an impromptu date night here. We showed up around 7 p.m., and we were seated immediately. I decided on the Mexican hot chocolate, and he ordered an Americano. He enjoyed his cup of coffee, but my drink was more exciting. My rich cup of chocolate goodness had me feeling warm and cozy on the inside. We weren't hungry, but I'm a sucker for a cookies and cream cheesecake. I loved looking at the different layers. It was filled with cookies, and the slice was more than enough for 2. The creamy goodness was worth every calorie. 2 hours late, we were still there, so we decided to sip on some alcoholic beverages. I got my fave, Expresso Martini, which was really amazing. He got a man man drinks, but once again, mine was more exciting. My only dislike is finding parking. We opted to park across from the hotel, and that was $21. Besides that, we love coming here after shows or just for a warm sip. Always good customer service, nice ambiance, and delicious drinks. read more

Can't believe that I've never been to this place. The desert and tea was everything that I hoped it would be. It was light and fresh, so flavorful and healthy tasting. The vibe is very chilled. I sat at the bar. Ky is very attentive and friendly and suggested some excellent options to choose from. The place is constantly busy even now at 10:45 pm. I believe they close at midnight. Absolute French Bistro vibe with outdoor seating and cozy corners on the inside. The music is jazzy but not loud and people are chatting . This location is central with the excitement of midtown right outside . I will definitely be back. read more

Intermezzo is usually a good choice. Food and service are good. The beverages & desserts are great. The cakes, pies, & torts are varied and tasty. They each have their fans. I'm happy to be adventurous but my old favourites are a pair of classics. Carrot cake with cream cheese icing & Red Velvet cake with cream cheese icing. The cheesecakes are delicious too. I dislike the physical location of the midtown café. It has too commercial a feel - office building retail use. The cafe's decor is consistent with the Perimeter location. Neither meet the level of charm of the original restaurant on Peachtree. Plenty of paid parking across the street from the restaurant. The 4 stars are ultimately for the desserts and wonderful beverage menu. Indulge! read more

Stopped by for desserts to-go on a busy Saturday night. Free validated parking in the same building as Loews Atlanta Hotel (bring to host). It was about 8pm when we arrived, and there was a ~30 min wait for a table. Ended up ordering a slice of apple crumb cheesecake and raspberry chocolate torte cake from their large display case of sweets. Took about ~25 min waiting in line, ordering, and packaging. Comes with a couple containers of whipped cream. Cheesecake and cake slices were fine - cheesecake was alright, no too sweet; chocolate cake was a bit dry, and there was a thin layer of raspberry gel on top. Overall, pretty overpriced for what it was ($25 for two slices of mediocre dessert). Not sure I'd be back, but atmosphere is definitely nice - low light, very intimate, old-school bar and mirrors. read more

Great outdoor seating and great service. We sat outdoors right up by the street and we had a nice breeze and a great view for people watching. You can definitely go just for the coffee whether you want it in the morning, afternoon, or evening. The coffees are so good that I actually had to order two specialty coffees. The food was good, but in all honesty I would not go back just for the food. If you like chocolate, definitely go and get a coffee and whichever one you get ask them to put Nutella on it. The Nutella goes all around the rim and it was delicious. read more
