Can park for free in the parking deck. During peak times it can get pretty busy. Fortunately I was able to get seated quickly. Inside is a nice, upscale cozy cafe vibe. The Mexican hot chocolate was huge and very creamy and chocolatey. The tiramisu was light and fluffy. read more

I tried both the Americano and the Caramel Macchiato, and they were definitely two very different experiences. The Americano leans on the stronger side with a darker roast. I found it a little one-note and somewhat mundane--nothing particularly memorable, although it's still a solid, perfectly drinkable cup. The ice helped balance the flavor a bit, but overall, this would be more of a "good enough" order for me rather than something I'd go out of my way to get. The Caramel Macchiato was very sweet, even for someone with a serious sweet tooth like me. The caramel flavor really takes center stage, to the point where it almost overpowers the coffee. If you love sweet, caramel-forward drinks, though, this could absolutely be your thing. The ambience is definitely one of the highlights. It's cute, cozy, and very photo-friendly, although the space itself is pretty small, so I wouldn't necessarily come here expecting to settle in with a large group. What really stood out to me was the service. The barista who helped me choose my drinks was incredibly kind and genuinely knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to answer questions and make recommendations, which made the experience feel much more welcoming. If you're unsure what to order, definitely don't hesitate to ask! Overall, I'd come back to explore more of the menu--the drinks I tried weren't particularly memorable for me, but the atmosphere and friendly service definitely left a good impression. read more

What a charming spot at Avalon. When the weather permits the outside patio is a great brunch spot. Delicious specialty coffees and teas, desserts and a nice breakfast / lunch menu. Service was fabulous by the hostess, manager and gentleman serving us on the patio. They seem to work well as a team. read more

The appetizer of spinach artichoke dip was fantastic. The bread was soft and buttery. The artichoke dip was perfect with Parmesan shreds. The spinach was a delicious addition. The French toast with the maple syrup was the best French toast I have ever had. The syrup sweetened the cinnamon covered toasts. The strawberries complemented the dish very well. The French dip was wonderful, the roast beef well done, and the horseradish aioli was great. The ciabatta bread was fantastic. It was fresh and tasty. I loved the caramelized onions and the molten cheese. I will definitely order the French dip again if I visit this restaurant! read more

I had the chance to get back to my old neighborhood last week and was able to visit the trendy Avalon outdoor Mall. I was never able to try Café Intermezzo and this was a perfect opportunity. What a cool business. Very smarty decorated with upbeat servers and a menu filled with creative choices. I was trying to be a little healthy with my choices so I went with the Mediterranean Veggie Wrap. It came on soft fresh Naan Bread, fresh made hummus, mushrooms Tapenade, tomato's, with spinach leaves, goat cheese and artichokes. It was absolutely delicious. A side of fresh strawberries made for a tasty and perfect lunch. Great service and a good price point will surely make for a return visit. Not very many tables so plan accordingly, especially during the lunch rush. read more

Food: Delightful - my cafe au lait was perfect, and the surprise cheese cake slice was generous and perfectly balanced with the right amount of European sugar; non of the American sugar levels that leaves you wanting to drink water all day Service was personalized; the young lady serving me was enthusiastic and attentive; she surprised me with the cheese cake, and checked on me 3 times in the 40 minutes I, dined in. The atmosphere was relaxed with moderate noise. They have outdoor sitting, it was busy with the weather being so nice. I had an experience! I felt appreciated; a feeling I rarely feel. read more

My wife and I visited this establishment again today and again, everything was outstanding. I had the omelette with a Belgian waffle on the side and she had the strawberry Belgian waffles. Delicious does not do it justice. I also had the Bailey's cappuccino, 2 actually, and they were great as well. The entire staff is friendly and attentive. Another 10 from us! read more

Stopped by for to-go coffee but the delightful European cafe ambiance and classic music captivated me as well! As did the array of decadent desserts (my friend was in a hurry) and the indoor and outdoor tables begging me to sit and savor. A little bit of European old-world elegance and delish dark chocolate mocha... this is a must-see nestled in the Avalon. The outdoor fire pit and seating is perfect for people-watching! read more

Went here with friends for brunch. The decor is fabulous, very elegant. The menu was good, server was nice, to a bit of time to get our food, he said the kitchen was backed up, did not look that busy. Food was good, a little bland. The French press coffee was a nice touch. read more

Intermezzo cafe - true to its name is connecting musical movement between other musical work, or in this case a small meal between larger meals! That aside it is made to look European but theme is all over the place. German/Austrian interior, with Italian and French food. The language tape in the bathroom is however teaching Korean and Chinese... I dined here about half a dozen times. It is a nice place with mixed results. Sometimes it is really good, other times not so much...in particular I could say Hummus is good, White Hot Chocolate, Bosco cake is delicious (imported from Italy). Service is good and servers are polite and friendly. Management is not great. If they are busy they will have a wait which could range up to an hour. In my experience one hour wait could turn out to be 10 minutes. Other times 40 minutes wait is actually 50 minutes. As I live close by I have attempted to call and put myself on the wait list and arrive when they are ready but management would not budge. This will be on their terms with zero flexibility... They also sell cakes but cakes are always turned away from the customer...I have not seen this anywhere else...it really points to the fact that management has little experience in hospitality industry.... Lastly this place does not accept cash. Not sure why since they are located in super safe area. Consequently a 5-star review is really a three star and perhaps I am being very generous here... read more

Went to this cafe for the first time ever! Was very very excited just to be extremely disappointed with the bad service. My server was Arfan and he was nice and was kind, it wasn't that good of service. I had menus on my table with my friends for a good portion of our meal. He also checked in on our only twice throughout my entire dine in experience. I had to ask for water about twice. For it being such a nice restaurant the random dusty fans surrounding the tables seems very off putting and is gross. read more

This was our second time visiting Cafe Intermezzo on a trip into town, and it never disappoints! The cozy interior feels like popping into a French cafe for the day, and I love the decor and all of the windows. We started with a baked Brie for the table, which was great! We also had a variety of drinks, including the fabulous hot chocolates and a hot latte. The latte was excellent! I enjoyed the American breakfast with a croissant, and everything hit the spot for me. I love classic breakfast food! My boyfriend ordered the avocado toast and the croque-monsieur and he really enjoyed both, though the carbs really filled him up! There's always plenty of food here and we always leave full. Service is always kind and efficient, but we don't feel rushed through our meal. Can't wait to visit again! read more

Seating was a pain - we were told 45 mins, which turned into well over a hour, but the food was worth the wait! I'd been to the one in Midtown a couple times, but only for coffee and dessert. I was planning on trying the chicken Florentine crepe, but our server got excited and talked up the spicy tortellini. She was right! It didn't disappoint! I ordered mine topped with chicken and my friend chose salmon. Both were delish. The portions were hearty so we were stuffed but still made room for dessert and hot chocolate. This meal was easily 3000 calories, but worth it! I'll def be back. (But not for the potatoes...they were just meh.) read more

Ordered the American omelette with potatoes on side . Hands down the best omelet and potatoes and cappuccino I have had in Atlanta.

Amazing coffee and service but the COCKROACHES my lord. Gotta get some traps out there to enjoy the outdoor seating. Otherwise everything was Devine. Way better than the other locations. read more

Came in last night after a lovely dinner at the Italian restaurant up the road. We were aware that the restaurant is closing, but they were at least 8 to 10 tables still eating. We asked for 3 Fra Angelico shots, & some waters. The bartender's response... "you know we close in 1 minute, right?" I was taken back having worked in the fine dining restaurant industry before... I've literally never been talked to like that before. Our friend who we were with offered to pay the bill... $41 for the 3 drinks, & I encouraged her not to tip because of the rude interaction. The bartender proceeded to sit across from us & hysterically laugh with his coworkers, & make it known that we tipped $0... further justifying the decision was the right one. My wife was very excited to share an after-dinner drink at this Cafe... & left astonished that anyone would ever treat guests the way we were treated. Needless to say, we will never return. Shocked & disappointed at such unprofessionalism. read more

This is our first time at Cafe Intermezzo. Enjoyed the atmosphere and wonderful service. Tried their seafood dip, French dip sandwich and chicken Florentine crepe. All are delicious. Ended lunch with chocolate cake. A must visit when in Atlanta! read more

In a non-busy time of the day my group of 7 was looking at the items in the display case. 3 of us, 2 older and one younger sat at a table while each person in our group ordered desserts. We were asked to stand. There was NO ONE inside. Very odd. After we all got finished ordering the lady in the black dress said, "we'll since we are not busy you can sit." Odd behavior since there isn't much room to stand for a large group. read more

Loved my visit to Cafe Intermezzo at Avalon in Alpharetta. A friend of mine recommended me come here since it was her favorite when visiting the area. I was super excited to see a location not far from my hotel. We sat outside for simple tea and donuts from across the way. It was relaxing and carefree. Everyone working here was friendly and I waited for my teas to walk outside and enjoy the fresh air. Hope I can come back here and have more. Everything sounded so great and it was such a nice spot. read more

I wish they had more gluten free options. Their espresso martini is good and service was good, but I couldn't eat anything other than a salad! read more

Overall, an okay experience. As fancy as this place is, the price is a bit much for an espresso drink. I asked for a coffee drink that came not even half full. We ordered a coffee and latte. Service and atmosphere were great though. Visuals were wonderful. Beautiful set up; interior and exterior. Great for small and large parties. There is inside and outside seating. They serve small snacks, coffees and alcoholic drinks. Not a restaurant, just do everyone knows. Till then, let's sip! read more

The atmosphere really elevated my dining experience when the service and food were slacking. We chose to sit outside, and it was gorgeous at the outdoor seating. It was simple yet peaceful. There's only a handful of seating out there, and the tables are small. Menus were provided via QR code, and I like how they had separate menu for drinks, food, and desserts. Love the creativity for the drinks, I don't think a lot of places serve coffee or iced coffee with alcohol. I got cafe dulce vita. It was sweet, and you don't taste the espresso or alcohol after you mix the drink. For my entree, I got the smoked salmon bow tie pasta. The photo doesn't show it but they sprinkled bits of smoked salmon in it. Yummy, who can go wrong with pasta? There wasn't much of the tricolored tortelini, and it was not spicy at all. It was like the kick of some sprinkled pepper. It was creamy, and we got one with some overpriced grilled chicken. For dessert, we got a tiramisu to share. Very soft, but I don't think it was worth $11. Overall, I think the food and drinks are on the pricier side compared to their proportions, but the presentations were decent. There's a free parking lot next to Avalon. The location of this place is still ideal and adorable. The inside seating seemed too dim for us, but it gave a very nice, modern, intimate quiet dining dinner date vibe. On the other hand, service was slow. I think we went around 8pm and there weren't a lot of tables. It took a while to take our orders, drinks, and food. read more

Cafe Intermezzo has a lot going for it, especially when it comes to ambiance. The European-inspired decor and cozy atmosphere make it an ideal spot for catching up over coffee or enjoying a leisurely dessert. The coffee selection is excellent, offering a range of specialty drinks that cater to serious coffee enthusiasts but don't expect to find matcha latte here. Service was pretty good during my visit. I was offered a seat at the bar instead of waiting 35 minutes for a table, which was a nice touch. The food didn't quite live up to expectations, though. I ordered the Belgian waffles expecting something freshly made, but I watched them come out of a package and warmed up instead. (Maybe the bar seat wasn't such a great idea?) For a place with such an upscale vibe, that was pretty disappointing, especially given that the food is somewhat expensive ($11). It kind of took away from what should have been a better dining experience. Overall, Cafe Intermezzo is a great choice if you're looking for an impressive coffee or a place to relax, but the quality of some menu items leaves room for improvement. Worth a visit for the atmosphere and service, but don't set your expectations too high for the food--especially for the price. read more

This is a very cute cafe. It feels like you're in Europe when you're here. I stopped in for lunch. They offer breakfast/brunch. Food was delicious. I got the bruschetta as a starter. It was SO good!

Staff was amazing and responded promptly. read more

I love everything about this place the staff the service and the cheesecake all amazing it's a must try

--Location/Parking-- Located inside of the Avalon shopping center. There can be a rush to find parking during the busy crowded season. --Ambiance-- The café is in the center of the walking street area, which makes a small nice cozy coffeeshop, but the wait time can be a bit long. --Service/Staff-- The hostess was friendly in helping me get a table. I didn't realize the long wait time. She was able to help even during shift change in getting me a table for two in such a short time frame and without my phone to text me. --Food/Products-- Flat White was typical, but not as sweet. The pies portion that was off in the corner which they are known for was a bit difficult to see and was mixed in with a to-go line, which makes sense for a big bakery. --Capacity-- Limited seating during rush hour, but plenty during off-hours which is a perfect time to go. I saw only about 7 or 8 tables available on the inside. I didn't get to see how many tables were on the outside. --Overall-- Recommended for a dessert place or you are shopping in the Avalon district. I would not come here to relax and chill or work. This is more of a high-end bakery then a café. read more

First, the good. It's located in Avalon amongst all the stores and I came upon it as I was walking. Thought I'd stop by for a latte but wanted to sit outside. I asked the host if I could see the menu before ordering and he said no, that I could go to the counter at the end to look at theirs. I get there and there's short line and no menu in sight. Now, it's my turn and I don't know what they have to offer. The young man was helpful after I looked at the extensive menu that was overwhelming. I place my order and upon pick up was heading outside to sit and enjoy it. Then, a new server tells me I have to order something else outside in order to sit there "because you're taking a table away from a server". I show him that I just ordered at the counter and the host told me to, and he simply reiterated that I had to order more to sit there. I started feeling the emotional rise, told him their whole process was confusing and unhelpful and left. Lucky for me, I found a beautiful tree to sit under in the front and enjoyed my drink. It was only an okay latte; nothing to write home about. That's my review and I'm sticking to it. read more

I loved everything about this place. well drinks done right, one of the best burgers I had in a while though this place does not strike me as a burger eatery- it was on a recommendation by a bartender that I opted for burger with bacon. sweets are incredible. I am not a fan of over the top sweet pastries so it was refreshing to find flawlessly executed high quality ingredients French style pastries. Double espresso was spot on. If there is one critique I can provide is that a lemon twist peel to go with an espresso would have made this experience 100% satisfying. I guess I'll have to settle for 99.9% satisfaction! Well done! read more

I love Cafe Intermezzo!! I've been going to all their different locations around Metro ATL and visited this one on my most recent visit. My family and I came for drinks and dessert on a Friday night. The wait is always pretty long for Intermezzo, but it was pretty long on this particular visit, waiting about 45 minutes! We were finally seated on the patio. We split a few coffee drinks and dessert, including an Oreo cheesecake which was my absolute favorite! I love how silky and rich their desserts. Overall, great spot for drinks and dessert, but come early or be prepared to wait. read more

The location is great and the coffee is delicious. For those two things, they get two stars. The service, however, was beyond disappointing. We came in to order iced coffees to-go. The hostess directed us to the counter. We stood waiting for a long time while the barista ignored us, texting on her phone. Eventually, another woman came and took our order. The place was packed, probably because the food and drinks taste good and the atmosphere is pretty but if customer service and friendliness or attentiveness is important to you, go somewhere else. read more

Cafe Intermezzo is a great date spot. I have tried a lot from the menu, so I have a lot to say. The restaurant is pretty small, the service is slow, and there is always a line for the restroom, which can leave people standing by others' tables. The prices are a bit high but justifiable with free parking! As for the food: Spinach & Artichoke Dip: 8/10 Tomato Basil Pasta: 5/10 Spicy Tri-Color Tortellini: 9/10 Seafood Crêpe: 7/10 Chicken Florentine Crêpe: 8/10 Caesar Salad: 8/10 For desserts, I love their tiramisu, though it is a little pricey for a slice. Their carrot cake is not my favorite. read more

Located in the center of the Avalon area this is a nice cafe. We came here after dinner to get some hot chocolate for the kids. It was cold and this was after the lighting of the Christmas tree ceremony. It was very busy and they had signs that you were not to come in without reservations. They had no open seating and due to the volume you were supposed to go to the walk up line. My wife went in and we waited outside. IT WAS VERY COLD! Luckily they did have heaters set up to stand around but the space around them was a "hot" commodity. Once you lucked into a spot you better not move! It took forever and a week to get the hot chocolate! I mean a long fricking time. I realized they were busy but staffing for the event should have been a must... even with the heaters outside we about froze waiting. Tip: if you are expecting the sickly sweet hot chocolate of Hershey's or Swiss miss this is not what you will get! This is a decadent, rich, full flavor real chocolate, hot chocolate. My youngest did not like it but I thought it was wonderful!! It was a great treat to end the night on... much better then the ice cream my oldest wanted... I mean it as like 27 degrees outside... crazy kid! read more

If you love coffee and enjoy a nice ambience this is a must stop. All the intermezzo cafes are worthy of a visit, but if you're in the area or shopping at Avalon I recommend you get your caffeine fix here! Today, I got the turkish coffee which has a strong taste with the grounds mixed in the dark beverage but it will definitely give you a kick start! It comes in a bronze pot and is served on a silver platter for a beautiful presentation. I was hungry so I got a seafood crepe which was a tad too spicy for my taste but overall the flavor was nice. I didn't indulge in a dessert but the display case was very tempting. This place is small, has some outdoor seating and very clean bathrooms. read more

Out at the mall for a morning of shopping and stopped to have breakfast at cafe Intermezzo. The wait was an hour and the hostess put us on a list and I received a text when our table was ready, which was great. This location is not as big as other locations that I've seen- it's real quaint. Service and quality of food was good. And I was actually surprised that their portions are rather large. We ordered French toast and croissant sandwich (not pictured).
