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

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

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

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

The staff is always kind and welcoming. 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

Stopped by Cafe Intermezzo for a warm hot cocoa on a cold night after the theatre. We were able to walk in and be seated right away. We ordered the Hot Chocolate Deluxe Truffle and the White Hot Chocolate DeLuxe. The hot chocolates were good, but kind of cold. We also grabbed dinner as well. The Tomato Basil Pasta with chicken was delicious! The Salmon Pasta was just ok. The service was great; and parking is validated for 2 hrs in the garage. 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

BEST desserts ever! Service is GREAT! Love the international feeling. Clean establishment.

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

Stopped in for breakfast before a flight home. Uber driver recommended it. Cool vibes, very cozy, smells like fresh pastries and coffee, super friendly servers. The avocado toast was weird. Served on a baguette, which was good itself, but the "avocado" part was smeared old guacamole. It was supposed to be topped with chili oil but all I got on mine was pure oil. It was messy, weirdly spicy, brown, and not fresh. I have ordered avocado toast at a million places and it has never looked or tasted like that, it's usually fresh sliced avocado or at least smashed slices with some salt and tomato. I also got a peanut butter hot chocolate, which was delicious, but the smeared peanut butter around the rim was very messy and made it hard to drink. read more

Intimate and cozy. Feel like I'm in another world in another era waiting to satisfy my sweet tooth and partake in a sinful chocolate torte and a chioccollino? Drink.

My friends and I decided to get a little dessert after dinner on Valentine's Day. I will say it was quite busy inside. But I expected it to be because this restaurant does not take reservations. We did end up waiting about an hour to sit down and have a little dessert. I decided to do this decadent looking hot chocolate. Which was the hot chocolate truffle and a slice of the Tres Leche cake. The hot chocolate was so good. You can definitely tell they make their hot chocolate with milk and not water...lol. The Tres Leche cake was just OK for me. Not as moist as I'm used to for that type of a cake. My waitress was able to let me change it out to the carrot cake. I still wasn't a big fan of it, but I took it home and ate the rest of it later. Next time I'll try a cheesecake and see how I like that. The ambience inside is always nice and moody like I like. Café Intermezzo is always a great place to stop and have some dessert, coffee or grab you a bite to eat. 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

I have been coming to this Cafe Intermezzo for quite some time. I don't really go as often, but this time around I came with my wife and two of our friends. We came for a night cap after eating dinner elsewhere. We got some hummus and we all got an espresso martini. The hummus was pretty good, but the espresso martinis were even better! They were made to perfection and tasted really good. Our server was super friendly too. He was very attentive and was quick to make some changes when we changed our mind on what we wanted. We opted out of getting any cheesecake (which Cafe Intermezzo) is pretty famous for. But I have had them before, and they all are really good! The vibes of this place are very romantic. It's a really great place to go to on a date with your loved one. They do offer a full food menu as well, and they do brunch as well. I came here for brunch a very long time ago, and our entire group had a really good time. This particular location is right in the heart of Midtown, but they do have a few other locations as well too. read more

We visited Café Intermezzo in Midtown for the first time recently, and it was such a wonderful experience -- all thanks to Ethan! We initially stopped in just for an after-dinner dessert, and Ethan made the entire visit memorable. He was incredibly patient and kind, walking us through the cheesecake and torte cases, explaining the different options, and helping us choose -- even though we were a bit indecisive. We ended up with the tiramisu cheesecake and the berry cheesecake tart, and both were absolutely delicious. But what truly made the night special was Ethan's outstanding service. His warm, friendly demeanor made us feel completely welcome and elevated the whole experience. Because of him, we left not just loving the desserts -- we fell in love with the entire café. In fact, we loved it so much that we came back the very next night -- this time for dinner after a concert. They're open until 1 AM on weekends, which makes it the perfect late-night spot for a cozy meal. We tried the soup of the day and the famous spicy tortellini pasta, and WOW -- it was so delicious. Rich, flavorful, and comforting -- everything we were craving after a long day. Whether you're stopping in for dessert, drinks, or a late-night meal, Café Intermezzo delivers on all fronts: ambiance, quality, and service. We're already looking forward to our next visit -- and hoping to see Ethan again, too! read more

This was a nice wholesome after work happy hour. Our server was amazing. We sat outside so we could people watch. We saw the actor who played the Colonel on a different world and he was so sweet and came to talk to us before he left. We ordered rounds of lemon drops with tequila reposado and shared two plates of the Italian bruschetta. I don't know what they marinate their tomatoes in, but it is amazing. This is a nice simple stop either after a date, after work, or just a solo outing. Glad that I put this place back on my radar and I will be back soon. read more

Where do I even start everything was so good! The Midtown location truly has the best ambiance. The outdoor and indoor spaces gave a warm, intimate and cozy feel. JB was our server and he was the best!!! Not only did he deliver great customer service, we loved his personality. We were chatting it up with him all night! We landed at Cafe Intermezzo for dessert. My friends and I each ordered the white mocha hot chocolate. Yum! I love the size of their mugs, they're huge! (See pics) We then each ordered a slice of cake. We ordered the key lime, the strawberry crème torte, and the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. We were all MORE than happy with our choices. I had the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, I could've licked the plate clean if I wasn't in public my goodness it was TOO delicious ! One of the many things I appreciate about Cafe Intermezzo, is that while they're known mostly for their desserts, they have really good food options too. It's also good for any type of occasion too. Date, girls night, birthdays, catching up with friends etc... just a little fyi if you're not already familiar with the area, they validate parking up to 2 hours in the garage attached to the building. read more

I had heard of this place as one of the popular spots that people talk about a lot in the city. I finally went here on a date. I love the ambience, it looks very European chic, classic, almost Victorian vibe? I also didn't realize that they sell breakfast all day, which is great to remember when I'm trying to find brunch spots that are open past 3 PM. They have a pretty extensive coffee menu if you're into coffee, and I think there is also a bar so if you want a drink that option is there too. They don't have a bunch of entrées because I think it mostly is a coffee house, but there are enough breakfast dishes, and lunch and dinner options to satisfy most people. Would definitely go again, but probably for breakfast or lunch as opposed to dinner. read more
