Holy crap this was the BEST eats I had on my most recent Nashville trip!! They have an insanely large variety of coffee options to start, both normal selection as well as some that you might never see at most coffee shops - turkish coffee made in the old fashioned way, and an insane number of alcoholic coffee options. It took me quite a while to settle on the alcoholic coffee: "Cappucino la scala" - cappuccino italiano with chocolate and almond liquer. It comes with the alcohol on the side because the waitress explained that they are quite proud of their coffee there... and LET ME TELL YOU. My first sip of that cappuccino and I immediately understood what she meant - it was the best coffee I've had in FOREVER. Perfectly balanced and left me wanting for more. The liquer was also quite tasty to sip, but I did add it into my coffee towards the end. 10/10!! For brunch item, I ordered the egg white omelette and swapped the goat cheese for swiss. It was absolutely delicious!!! All the ingredients tasted extra good, I was shocked but definitely think Nashville has an upper hand when it comes to brunch compared to Los Angeles. 9.5/10! For dessert, we ordered the frutti di bosco, 11/10! It was actually the highlight of the meal if you can believe it - a shortbread pastry base filled with Chantilly cream.... Just so light and perfectly tasty without being too sweet. 100% dreamed of having another slice the days after. If you're in Nashville and looking for breakrfast/brunch, look no further. This is absolutely the best in town. PS the service was also so so friendly, I loved the vibes in this restaurant! read more

Desperate for my morning coffee stopped into this local café. It feels as a French fill, but I'm not sure if it is, but the ambience is nice. Is quiet on Friday morning however staff are not smiling. . The cheesecake selection is a word I can't describe because I love cheesecake so much, but it opulent comes to mind. read more

This place is such a good breakfast spot, makes me wish I lived in Nashville. Our server was cooper I think, and he was very nice. Recommended me the hot chocolate deluxe, and I'm glad he did! Me and my brother shared the Belgian waffles because we were getting lunch 2 hours later. Those are THE BEST waffles I have ever placed into my mouth. The water doesn't taste very good, but that's fine, everything else makes up for it. They played Christmas music and i believe Mozart pieces, as I came here on january 2nd. The art is nice, and the tables were clean. No complaints! 10/10, I WILL be coming back. read more

We came here looking for a good brunch spot with a big menu that would offer a variety of options. This place was fantastic. It had a very cute cozy, old world feeling place to it. after you walk through the doors, you come across this glass case of cakes and I couldn't tear my eyes away. The whole time I was thinking I'm going to make room for dessert. I had gotten the seafood crêpe, and that was very flavorful and a tad too rich or intense in flavor. I also had my husband's bacon and it was amazing. It had this crispy, almost pork rind, like texture or taste to it. It was delicious. I would love to come back and try other items. The service was great as well and the prices were reasonable. I took 2 desserts to go the Keylime cheesecake and the lemon berry torte was sublime. I may ask my friend that lives there to bring those back next time she visits me. read more

We visited this cafe with European decor on a Sunday afternoon. The cafe wasn't too busy considering it is located quite close to Broadway. The service was very quick and the team was very warm. We ordered coffee from Alpine, and I must say I have tried coffee at plenty of places in the city, but the coffee that I ordered was amazing. Cafe Intermezzo is a must-visit for people who are coffee and or hot chocolate enthusiasts like me! read more

After debating between breakfast and lunch, I settled on the Mediterranean veggie wrap, which was served on soft, warm naan bread and filled with a delicious hummus mushroom tapenade paired with fresh tomato slices and spinach leaves along with goat cheese (I went with feta cheese instead) and artichoke. The end result was a refreshing and flavorful wrap that wasn't too filling -- a perfect lunch entree. I chose a side of strawberries, which complemented the wrap wonderfully. The service was great and I really enjoyed the eclectic decor inside. I look forward to returning to explore more of the expansive menu (including the cheesecakes!). read more

I've lived in Nashville 12 years and it was my first time at Cafe Intermezzo and boy I have been missing out. Just went for a quick cafe coffee and bite to eat and what an absolute gem this place is. Quick service. Warm greetings. Simple to understand yet diverse menu. No frills European style cafe. I will be going back when I can. Parking of course is an issue but it's downtown so that comes with the territory. See you again soon Cafe Intermezzo. read more

Great decor and ambiance as soon as you step it. This is a smaller, more intimate restaurant so expect a little wait (10-15 minutes) around late breakfast/brunch time. There is some seating and area in the lobby where you can wait. The waiter, Michael, was very enthusiastic and kind. He checked up on us a few times to ensure everything was up to par. The Cafe Intermezzo is very tasty - similar to a latte with a hint of almond flavor. It comes with slivers of almonds on the side as well. I went for the Eggs Benedict with Rosemary potatoes. You have a choice of the potatoes or fruit as a side. Everything was delicious including the potatoes which were roasted and seasoned well. read more

Food The good: I had the open faced croissant sandwich and it was delightful. The true star was the rosemary potatoes... I could eat them by the pound. We also had the French press coffee which was just what we needed the morning after a long night out in Nashville. I had the Key Lime cheesecake afterwards and I would eat that by the ton if I was physically capable. My wife had the vegan raspberry mousse and loved it! The bad: Nothing bad to say about this place! Service The good: Our server was very friendly and super responsive. Everyone in the place seemed happy to be there. The bad: Nothing bad about the service here! Ambiance: This was a well adorned cafe off broadway. It was clean and laid back. read more

Absolutely love the coffee, food and feel of this place. Great option for coffee in Nashville. Stopped by here after our hotel coffee failed us. Its a nice cafe with sit down tables, a small bar area and of course carry out. They have a selection of food as well as a display full of cake. They have a pretty large variety of coffee drinks. I personally loved the coffee. It was rich and tasty. The cakes looked good and we ended up trying one of the chocolate cheesecake options. It worked! We didn't manage to try anything off the menu because we were there for coffee and sweets but overall this place is great. read more

We stayed in the same building as the restaurant and we didn't want to go far for dinner so decided to check it out. It was 6 pm and the restaurant only had 2 parties of 2 in the entire place. Made me wonder if I was making a poor choice. Pretty atmosphere...candlelit, white linen tablecloths and a European feel. I had 2 different espresso martinis and split a bruschetta appetizer, Caesar salad and Spicy Tri-Color Tortellini meal with my husband. Really enjoyed the meal but would have preferred the app to be served before, not with, the salad (I didn't think to ask in advance and the server didn't ask us) but everything was very good. We added chicken to our pasta dish, which was grilled, and really added to the meal. The service was just okay. Had to wait to start on our salad, anyway, as we wanted pepper and could not catch our server's attention, for anything. Ended up stopping another employee to get us some salt and pepper (they do not leave it on the table). Overall, it was a good experience and we would dine here again. read more

What an amazing restaurant oh my God is all I can say from entering this place. You just feel like it's a very beautiful atmosphere. It's calming the food smell really good. You're able to see the chefs cook right there. It was amazing experience. The staff was amazing. Our waiter was really really nice and was able to get our food to us very quickly. We came here for breakfast and what can I say? This place was really good. I would return to this place 1000 more times if I was in the area you cannot go wrong. The only thing that I was sad about was for dessert I wanted cookies and cream cheesecake and they did not have any and I wanted some so bad it broke my heart but other than that I give this place 10 out of 10. Just to give you guys a heads up this restaurant is a cashless restaurant only cards is accepted. read more

The baked Brie was absolutely delicious! The food was also really good & the service was not too bad. We thought because we went later in the day and it was quieter the service would be better but it's all good. The coffee was so yummy & so was the dessert! Overall enjoyed it & recommend. read more

I love the decor and atmosphere in Cafe Intermezzo. The brunch/breakfast menu is delicious and I highly recommend the eggs Benedict. Their coffee is delicious but the hot chocolates steal the show! They are decadent and delicious. They also have a bakery where you can purchase slices and whole cakes and other desserts. Definitely a must when in downtown Nashville read more

Hello. I was there again stupidly expecting something different from 2 years ago and nothing changed. I don't need a manager to reach out and I don't need anyone to do anything special other than maybe update your philosophy on how to treat clients. That's all we ask. You're not on Broadway. I realize that you think that you're fine, because you're close to the action but you'll never earn anyone locals business by treating people like their tourist or the worst on a Tuesday afternoon read more

The 5 stars are purely for the cheesecake. Don't go here expecting quality service or food, only go for the cheesecake. I have loved Cafe Intermezzo from my days in Atlanta and I was so excited to hear they were opening a location in Nashville. I have been to the Atlanta location many times, unfortunately, the Nashville one doesn't compare in selection. But they still do have some excellent cakes and cheesecakes. My favorites are the Black and White cake, Tiramisu Cheesecake and White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake. I also love the Carrot Cake Cheesecake but I haven't seen it at this location yet. Their cheesecakes are so rich and dense... my tastebuds have never been happier! The service here is always a little slow. Even ordering cake to-go takes a long time, but it's worth the wait. At $12 per slice, the price is hefty for what you get... but tbh, I'm still going to continue to go back. This location is in downtown so parking can be challenging so plan accordingly. read more

Lovely place with amazing cakes. I went here twice- once for brunch and once for dinner and both were amazing. The service was quick and friendly both times. Dinner is quieter- probably because people dont think of going to a cafe for dinner? I would definitely come back when i'm in the area. read more

Absolutely excellent coffee and European-style ambience at this little cafe in downtown. They have a variety of desserts and dishes to pair with your unique coffee drink. Do yourself a huge favor and get the Cappuccino Gianduja.. amazing drink with a hazelnut spread rim that melts into the coffee as you drink it. Absolutely amazing beverage! I went back for it three times in four days. All the servers are extremely friendly and helpful. We had a delightful experience and recommend stopping by when you're in town. read more

Our gang of four stopped in Café Intermezzo for mid-afternoon drinks and desserts. Amaretto White Chocolate and Heavenly Lemon Torte desserts were delicious, fresh, and high quality. Cozy. Inviting. Warm decor. Friendly service. Block from Cumberland River. While a limited bourbon menu...though suspect patrons don't come here first for their bourbon...we sampled a delightful maple-wood finished bourbon from Company Distilling (TN). You can also find this craft bourbon at TotalWine. Small Gripe: Was surprised that the bar was out of vermouth...so drank our nicely chilled martinis with straight gin. Like KFC running out of chicken. read more
