We went for dessert and it was fabulous. The expresso martini is one of the best we've ever had, the chocolate chip cheesecake is to die for and the tart was smooth and light. The service was very kind and welcoming and the ambiance was a slow moving cafe vibe to enjoy time with friends! read more

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

From the Business

Specialties

In 1971, Brian Olson traveled to his homeland of Germany, where European coffeehouses served as thriving places for friends to gather and relax. He imagined that this "third place", outside of home and work, had potential for a home in America. So Café Intermezzo was born. We provide a space where people can enjoy life at a more measured pace and take an "intermezzo" (intermission) from the hectic demands of life. In a world where everything feels rushed, we invite you to slow down and savor. Enjoy a delicious beverage and pastry, connect with a loved one, or simply retreat to enjoy life's pleasures.

Café Intermezzo began as an idea in 1971, when Brian Olson traveled to his heritage homeland of Germany. Visiting a konditorei in Berlin (bakery-Café), and then many more throughout Germany and Austria, brought conviction that the Europäische Kaffeehaus (European coffeehouse), as a significant Place in the lives of its guests, had a potential for a home in America. As a respite in a person's day, a place to stop, to relax, to think...as an "intermission " between all of the activities and responsibilities, Olson believed that the Kaffeehaus would provide a distinct and wonderful refuge in the ever-expanding world of fast-food and environments designed to expedite takeout beverages and foods.

It feels historic in the best way, like it's lived a few lives (old house shoe repair shop now a coffee spot that somehow makes you want to slow down and stay awhile). We didn't try any food this time, but based on the long line of people happily waiting for it, I'm taking that as a strong sign. The coffee, though? Legit. You can tell the beans are fresh, smooth, clean, and more "grown-up, sophisticated coffee flavor" than sugary coffee dessert. We ordered an iced caramel latte and an espresso martini (hold the cream) and both were excellent. The latte was balanced and smooth, and the espresso actually came through (not hidden under caramel). The espresso martini was the surprise star: they add an orange liqueur that gives it a little citrus lift, which makes it taste brighter and more interesting than the standard version. Naturally, we left with a bag of their espresso beans because now we're convinced we can recreate that martini at home. Will it be as good as Frothy Monkey's? Probably not. But we're going to try... you know, for science. If you like places with personality, history, and coffee that tastes like someone actually cares, this one's top of the list.

I enjoyed my coffees each day and loved the seasonal offerings they had as well! My daughter tried the chorizo biscuits and gravy one morning too and said they were very good! All in all, a cute location, great service, yummy food and drinks!

The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either!

There was a line when we arrived, but it wasn't so bad. It moved by pretty quickly. While in line, you bypass all the pastries displayed behind the glass and they looked beautiful! Everything looked amazing. I ended up ordering the Twice Baked Croissant and the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich. The Twice Baked Croissant was just incredible. It had pistachios on top, a pistachio cream inside, and also a cherry or raspberry jam inside too. I love pistachios, and the pistachio cream inside was so light, creamy, delicate, but flavorful. I absolutely loved all the different textures. The croissant was airy and fluffy inside, and the outside had a nice flaky exterior. And the fruit jam inside complemented the pistachio cream very well, it added a nice sweetness that blended well with the cream. For me, it tied the whole thing together. I will definitely be thinking of this pastry when I think of pistachio croissants. And for the Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich? Wow. I didn't know what to expect, but it was much larger than I anticipated. It was tall, like when I was bringing it to the table the top part of the bun almost fell off my plate because it had height. The fried chicken piece was great: juicy and had a nice golden color. It was crispy and also quite large for a chicken piece.. All the components about it were executed well: the fried chicken, the coleslaw! (i'm a coleslaw fanatic), and the sauce inside the sandwich was wonderful. Also last but not least, the fried egg too? Wow. I love a good runny egg. I'm not exaggerating, I was drenching the pieces of my sandwich in the sauce on my plate. It was just that good. Genuinely, I couldn't believe I finished that sandwich because it was very filling and that fried chicken piece was huge! Service was fast and friendly, I liked interacting with them. It is pretty small inside and we came on a weekend so it was busy and packed. We were lucky to snag a small table but it was difficult to find seating when we got our food. All in all, I'm so happy we came here. Yes it is a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. The quality is clearly there and showed up through everything we got. I had such a memorable time, thank you for taking care of us!

I absolutely loved Cafe Intermezzo! The ambiance is fantastic, with its charming European-inspired decor that really sets the mood. I started with the Cioccoloccino, a rich blend of pure Dutch chocolate steamed in cream, combined with espresso, Schlag, and a dusting of cocoa powder. It was delicious, though I'd recommend giving it a stir as most of the sweetness settled at the bottom. The smoked salmon benedict was definitely a highlight! It was so much softer than any other benedict I've had, practically melting in my mouth. The side of potatoes was perfectly seasoned, crispy, and flavorful. The avocado toast is another winner. Served on a slim baguette, it's easy to grab a bite, and the added onions burnt chile oil gives it a unique kick, making it extra flavorful. It's also served with a side of scrambled eggs, which pair perfectly with the toast. For dessert, the Frutti di Bosco was irresistible! We were seated next to the pastry display, which made it even harder to resist. The dessert is lightly sweet, with fruits that are slightly frozen, adding a refreshing chill to each bite. So satisfying without being overwhelming. read more

I heard about Cafe Intermezzo at the Symphony's Beethoven Birthday Bash a couple weeks ago where I sampled a piece of great cake from the Cafe. So I decided to try this place for dinner before going to last night's concert. My friend and I were wowed by the ambience. It was like being transported to a European cafe. The service was very friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. I had the Butternut squash ravioli which was very tasty with pesto and nuts. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a very generous portion. My friend had the chicken crepe and thought it was tasty also. We saved room for the decadent cakes for dessert. My Black Magic cake was sooo good! And even the decaf coffee I ordered was good. The big downfall to the feeling of elegance was the chintzy silverware. It was what you'd find in a budget cafeteria. As soon as I unrolled it from my napkin, I remembered that there were pedal taverns on the streets outside. read more

What an amazing addition to the downtown lineup. I love how it is not directly on Broadway and therefore outside the crazy zone yet still close enough to feel like you are part of the experience. Such a warm inviting atmosphere and a staff to match. Great food. Great people. Great late night hours. I would like to see a wider variety of items available on the menu. I would also like to see a "sampler" offering for desserts for those of us that have an impossible time deciding on just which pastry to get. In the meantime i guess i will simply have to return weekly until i manage to make it through the entire pastry selections!! Thanks Cafe Intermezzo for giving me a new favorite place to spend my weekends! read more

I had a pleasant experience at Cafe Intermezzo recently. Our waitress, Brooke, was attentive and provided good service throughout our meal. I tried the American omelet and avocado toast, both of which were well-prepared and flavorful. The caramel latte was enjoyable, but the standout for me was the Cafe Intermezzo latte, which had a delicious almond flavor that I can see myself craving in the future. Overall, it was a nice visit, and I would recommend it to others looking for a cozy spot to enjoy a meal. read more
