    Scrambled Eggs
    Stacy C.

    This place is located on Demonbreun street between third and fourth. So many incredible choices here and I like that it is fairly quick service. The interior is as European as it gets and the staff is always so pleasant. Pay close attention to the coffee and drinks menu as it offers so many great options. Whatever they are doing to the scrambled eggs puts them top of the list. They are some of the best I have ever had. Also try the breakfast potatoes - they will keep you coming back.

    Traditional Cheesecake
    Viraj M.

    Cafe Intermezzo in Nashville was amazing. The ambiance alone is worth the visit! There was moody lighting, candles, and such a cozy, romantic vibe. We ordered the peanut butter hot chocolate and the deluxe hot chocolate, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Rich, indulgent, and perfectly made. We also tried the traditional cheesecake with schlaag, and WOW! It was so creamy, so good, and the perfect dessert to end the night. This is an ideal spot for a date night or a fun, relaxed evening with friends. On top of all that, the servers were fantastic. They were super friendly and always checking in without being overbearing. Can't wait to come back!

    Stopped in for a pick me up before dinner and got to energy I needed. Had to circle back the following morning for the Cubano latte! Service has been great on both visits and everything was made fresh with quality ingredients.

    Take an intermezzo (intermission) from your busy day and slow down at this European inspired cafe. This has quickly and easily become one of my favorite spots in Nashville and I already can't wait to go back. It literally felt like I stepped into a cafe in Europe when walking through the door. The decor is absolutely STUNNING. From a long list of coffee and brunch options to their stunning pastries, this spot is perfect for slowing down between life's busy acts. What I ordered: -Cafe Latte -Baked Brie, Banana & Nutella Crepe, Strawberry & Nutella Crepe Parking: Pay to park lots and garages

    Cafe Intermezzo gives me all the feels. If you're up for brunch, lunch, dinner or dessert they have options for you. We walked in on Christmas Eve morning and were quickly seated. I indulged myself with one of their Belgian waffles with mango toasted coconut. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet and you get a little crunch from the toasted coconut. The mango was a surprisingly refreshing touch and I would definitely get it again. I also had the Cioccoloccino. Not only was it beautiful and filled to the brim, it had a super strong coffee flavor that was great to start the day!

    Cappuccino Gianduja
    Amanda C.

    I have heard such great things about Cafe Intermezzo and have always wanted to try it out. After leaving an event at Bridgestone, we finally decided to stop by for some dessert! It definitely exceeded my expectations. We were able to get a table right away, and when you walk in, there's a big dessert display case which is always exciting. Our waiter was extremely nice and was able to explain some questions we had about the menu. I ended up getting a cappuccino that had hazelnut spread (Nutella) in it, and it was fantastic! We also ordered the hot chocolate Berlin which was the same thing as me just in hot chocolate form. That was also incredible!! We all split the chocolate raspberry torte and the tiramisu and both were also fresh and delicious. The ambiance felt like I wasn't even in Nashville, and since it was cold, it definitely felt very cozy. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and can't wait to go back! It's definitely a little pricey, but I expect that in the downtown area.

    White Chocolate Raspberry
    Jasmine C.

    I had a taste for something sweet and Cafe Intermezzo is where I ended up. I popped in to see what cheesecakes they had and settled for the white chocolate raspberry. I walked right in and went to the bar to place my order. Smooth and easy process. All I have to say is pull up! You will NOT be disappointed. They say the cookies n cream is a crowd favorite.

    Espresso Martini & Oreo Cheesecake
    Joanlie H.

    Stumbled upon this place while we were headed to a different place for espresso martinis & so glad we went here instead! Our waitress was the sweetest. So many options for coffee and dessert. The oreo cheesecake was so good & the slices were so big we had to take home the rest! Very quiet, relaxed vibe if you want to get away from the craziness of broadway for a moment.

    Really enjoyed my iced Intermezzo cappuccino at Café Intermezzo. The service was great--our server even mentioned she could make any of the drinks in an iced version, which was a nice touch. The coffee was smooth and refreshing, and the atmosphere made it a great place to relax!

    White chocolate amaretto cheesecake, so light and fluffy and yummy
    Corrine P.

    Comfy, cute, and fancy little restaurant with amazing desserts, a plethora of coffees and delicious bites from around Europe. They definitely have a neat theme with not only the food, decor, but also various language lessons playing in the restrooms. The food and drinks are amazing and the service is top notch. If you park at the top of the hill and walk down you might even find some $4 street parking. Very worth the visit. Great for dates at any time of the day or night!

    Traditional cheesecake
    Rebecca Y.

    Such a unique and intimate dining experience! Definitely had an old-timey feel and kind of felt like I was transported to France. When walking in, they have a case full of different assortments of cheesecake. The mood lighting was really nice and added to the date night vibe. We ordered the peanut butter hot chocolate, the hot chocolate deluxe and a slice of the traditional cheese cake. All came with Schlag (fancy whipped cream) and it was all so so yummy and rich! some of the best hot chocolate and cheesecake I've had. Highly recommend on a cold winter night and as a nightcap after dinner! The only thing I'd say is it's all very sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth this place is definitely for you- I don't, so it was a bit too sweet for me.

    Salad with grilled chicken
    Kevin B.

    This is such a lovely cafe and we can't wait to come back. We stopped in last year after an event downtown and we had a great meal. Our server was attentive and helpful and the atmosphere inside is just so relaxing (you really do feel like you're in a European cafe). My wife loved her salad with grilled chicken and I really enjoyed my sandwich with a side Caesar salad. We really enjoyed coming here and will definitely be back!

    Only visited for a quick grab and go coffee while downtown, but they had plenty on their menu if you wanted to eat. There was some street parking nearby too.

Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Fifteen trips to Nashville (together) and it's still one of our first stops. That's probably the strongest review I can give. Five stars.

The spot is in an old building in the middle of the entertainment district (Lower Broad area). It has a small outside seating area, for when it is not a sauna, Inside there is a nice sized bar, if you are just seeking a drink. They are known for their mac & cheese, which I have never tried in all of the times I have been to the Stillery. Very creamy, cheesy mac & cheese. The Nashville hot chicken has a nice spice to it. A bit mild for the serious hot chicken fans, but the flavor is there. The chicken tenders are fairly standard. And the crinkle fries are mid. I enjoyed both of the drinks. At $14.50, they are at least $1.50 less than the standard Broadway cocktails in the star bars, so iti s a less expensive option to get a drink. I don't think they ever have live music, unlike some others here, so you are going for the food, not the noise. Service was great, as always. The staff is always prompt and knows their menu. It is more bar food and the menu is limited, but what they do, they do well.

And yes, Cinco de Mayo was just a few days away. One member of our party just wanted a soft drink, which was not possible that night as their CO2 was down. That did make me wonder whether the non-alcohol drinkers had much to chose from here. I suppose we could have then wandered over to the Redemption Bar at Chief's?
