I went for the desserts, I tried the tres leches and a chocolate peanut butter cheesecake. The tres leches was ok and the cheesecake was better. Too expensive for what was served. read more

Delicious coffee for real coffee drinkers! Their Tortellini dish was so GOOD & the spice was tasty and has a kick! I added the sausage and it was cooked to perfection. I snagged a seat at the bar and it was nice and cozy. Would definitely come back. read more

Loved the ambiance, service was good, perfect for date night for coffee and desserts!

Update: I have been coming here a lot since I live so close and even celebrated my daughter's birthday here. So this is an updated review. They're known for their pastries but today was unfortunately disappointing since their pastry cooler broke down and therefore we were unable to get any cakes with our dinner. I was reassured that the cooler should be operational soon though. We didn't order any drinks this time as my favorite drinks are no longer available since they've cut back from the over 1000 drinks they used to serve a while back. Other than that, the food quality and service was great as it always is. This is still a 5* review bcos a broken down case for a few days won't change how wonderful Cafe Intermezzo is. It's one of my staples that I've patronized since the days of living in Atlanta. Btw, The Turkish Coffee and the case of Cakes are from my previous review 2yrs ago read more

My first visit at Cafe Intermezzo was amazing! Food was delicious and full of flavor. Our waiter, Michael, was an absolute delight! He should be given a raise!

We stopped by here on a weekend before a show at the Amphitheater & it turned out to be a great choice! Inside is a super cute cafe; they have a bar area and a to go counter and pastry/cake display. We opted to dine in and were seated right away. I got the Bruschetta ($9) to start. It was really good! Lots of great flavors and plenty of bread. And, although it's summer, I was soooo happy they still had a soup of the day & got the Red Pepper Gouda ($10) for my main. Loved this, too! The food came out pretty fast, as well, so I'm happy we ended up here before our show. Next time I'll have to try one of their old school cocktails! read more

Turkish coffee, dessert, and drinks are amazing. Service is also very nice. Recommend!!!

This cafe has a fun atmosphere! We came for coffee and breakfast. I had some a la carte items and a cafe mocha. All was tasty and hot. Others in my party had omlettes, traditional American breakfast and avocado toast. All enjoyed their meals. Scrambled eggs were fresh and generous portions. The wait staff was helpful and professional. For your listening pleasure, the bathrooms have language lessons playing! Silly entertainment we all had a good laugh about. The amazing looking cheesecake selections are made from scratch we were told. No one had any, but they looked delicious and the staff recommended the raspberry chocolate and the hazelnut/nutella if we were choosing read more

This French inspired cafe/restaurant was adorable! Lots of character and charm, from the ceiling tile detail, wall art to the fresh cut flowers on each table, this is definitely a charming little breakfast stop. Located in the corner, they offer indoor seating and have large windows over looking both streets, ideal for people watching. They have a coffee bar and full service bar, we indulged in both and both were wonderful! Cocktails and coffee our brunch selections were delicious, cooked to perfection. I gave a 4 out of 5 ONLY because I'm sensitive to smells and there was a strange egg smell in the restaurant. If you're sensitive to smells, just be aware. It wasn't enough to make us leave but noticeable. I'd go back! read more

Café Intermezzo never disappoints! It is some of the best desserts you can find in town! It is a family run chain with locations in Atlanta and Nashville. It is one of my favorites in Nashville to get a dessert, wonderful dessert drinks, and a date with my handsome hubby. I have yet to try their dinner menu or crepes. Also, who doesn't love learning a new language when you're using the bathroom! That's a thing over the speakers you will hear. Music plays in the restaurant, and different stuff plays in the bathroom. read more

I think this might be the best cafe I've ever been to. I felt like I was in a cute European cafe in the middle of Nashville, Tennessee. Cute, medium-sized place with outdoor seating and phenomenal food. You don't have to sit in and eat there, they have a bakery with so many desserts and pastries that you can take to-go or have right there with a side of coffee. We stopped in for breakfast here.. it was our favorite food that tried during our time in Nashville. The food was a 10/10, not overly filling but it was high-quality and just rightly proportioned. The only down-side was the wait time, it took around 40 minutes for them to seat us, but then again we came during a peak Sunday breakfast hour with no reservation. Either way, it was so worth the wait. If you're ever in the mood for a European feel or for a tasty breakfast, lunch, or dessert, stop in at Intermezzo Cafe!! read more

Summary: Loved it. Good coffeee (American). Good chocolate cake. Friendly service. The Experience: A light shower started while walking around Nashville (first time here) with my mother, so we decided to go for a coffee and wait for the sun to come back out. We just had breakfast at the hotel, so no heavy foods, just the triple layer chocolate cake, I had a coffee, my mother had a tea with lemon. All good. Service was excellent, the ambiance is beautiful. The cake was very good, too. read more

Cozy European style Cafe. The service is friendly. The peanut chocolate cake was tasty. They baked it in house. The cappuccino was good but I wish it was stronger. Personally I would add an extra shot so instead of two it would be three. My cappuccino came sweet because of the cacao and whipped in it but my friend ordered a plain cappuccino and it was slightly sweetened. We didn't understand why. She enjoyed it but just make sure you clarify no sweetness at all if you like your coffee sugar free. Mera's Tip: enjoy the atmosphere read more

The desert here gets a 5/5 but the service gets a 1/5. For the price and food quality, I really expected the staff to be helpful and kind. Boy was I wrong. We arrived for a late night desert trip around 8:45. We knew the place was set to close at 9pm and we wanted to be respectful of their timings. We didn't see anyone at the front so we made our way to the counter, where we saw a line of people ordering cake. We patiently stood in line for about 10 mins and when we made it to the front, we told the staff our orders and that we would like to sit down to eat. One staff member started yelling at us and telling us that in order to sit and eat, we needed to find the hostess. He added, however, that we only had 2 mins left to order our desert before closing. We couldn't even locate the hostess so didn't understand how we could be seated and order in 2 mins. Instead of finding the hostess, he just kept on getting louder and louder as he repeated the same sentence. Finally the hostess came by and got us seated. I explained the situation to her and we were promptly served. Everything went smoothly after this point and the cheesecake was incredible! However, for an upscale restaurant and a $14 (with tax and tip) piece of cake, I really expected better service than this. Coming and being served here was truly a bummer to my night. read more

Andrea was super efficient and friendly. The omelet was great! Fluffy and seasoned just enough, no salt, pepper or condiments needed. More places can learn on how to cook omelets from here. The house coffee was presented nicely in a silver pot, quite classical and classy... LOL read more

I've been to Spain and left my bear there. Now that I have been to Cafe Intermezzo I have also left a piece of my heart there too. Romantic coffee date or a boogie brunch date with your girlfriends spot. Immaculate vibes. Superb collection of coffee, tea and liquor. Amazingly delish desserts. The vibes were perfect, seated near the walkway. Just order rain for cozy vibes. read more

I was visiting Nashville with my best friend Ashley, and she found this place for our first brunch experience. I was amazed by the decor and the menu interested me to try it go. We went to Cafe Intermezzo at 11:00 sharp because we were afraid it would be crowded. I was surprised it was not and we got seated right away. Overall, the food and service was delightful. The food was delectable and served in an elegant manner. I wished I remembered the server's name, but he had a cheerful attitude and made our experience worthwhile. My best friend, Ashley G. has left a review of our experience, you can check it out for yourself to confirm how much we loved the place. We ordered the bruschetta, chicken sausage, avocado toast, a Cioccoloccino, and a mango tea. Everything was delicious and up to standards. You will see why in my photos and videos. I wish they had a location in California. I would recommend this place and will come again when I am back in Nashville! read more

Came in with a group of girls for breakfast and had just purchased a coffee from the four season hotel across the street. The Manager was extremely rude once we sat and ordered our drinks that we would be asked to leave if we did not give him our outside drinks bc it was "policy". I offered to put it down on the ground beside me and he literally stated we need to leave. Will never be back! read more

This is a very nice restaurant a couple of blocks away from the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in downtown Nashville. The vibes of the restaurant are all European cafe. You enter and immediately see all of the beautifully made cakes that they have. I ordered the spicy tortellini with petit salmon and a cannoli cheesecake. Both were delicious. Since it is in downtown Nashville, parking can be difficult in general. I parked at the Music City Center a few blocks down. This restaurant is a great place to go for a nice dinner on the way to the symphony like I did. read more

By far my favorite after dinner spot in Nashville. Their tiramisu is top tier and their espresso martinis are the perfect pair! There is also another drink named after someone that is similar that I forgot the name of but it is so good as well with the sweets. The vibe is a cool feel and it almost feels like you are in Europe. Our last server was so kind and friendly. Will keep coming back here for sure. read more
