Café Intermezzo - Midtown

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another one of my go-to places near Midtown/Georgia Tech. Cafe Intermezzo is a nicer and late-closing cafe that has an upscale vibe with fast-casual midtown prices. I love that there is a place in midtown open past 8pm for dinner AND coffee. This time around, I did not get myself a coffee, instead treating myself with a hot chocolate with liberal amounts of whipped cream. I was pretty surprised when they told me they did oat hot chocolate too! I appreciate the options as someone who is lactose intolerant. The decadent and creamy drink left my super sleepy by the end of the night. I ordered a seafood dip that comes with crunchy and fluffy dipping bread. The seasoning was perfect to bring a little heat and spice to the cream-based dip, and I love that they didn't skimp on the seafood. It was my partner's first time here and though we only got a few bites, he's already convinced we need to revisit on an empty stomach. The waitress we had was kind and attentive. Usually Cafe Intermezzo gives up one of the three--good food, good service, good seating--but today we were met with all three! Would love to come again for drinks and cake.

I recently visited Cafe Intermezzo in Midtown Atlanta and had a pleasant experience overall. The atmosphere is lovely, and the service was great, thanks to our kind and polite waiter, Nick. I ordered the white chocolate hot chocolate with added hazelnut and caramel, which tasted good but unfortunately arrived at room temperature. A hot drink would have been much more enjoyable, especially on a chilly day. For food, I had the croissant with egg and chicken sausage, along with a waffle topped with strawberries. The food was decent – nothing spectacular but still good enough not to complain. The eggs could have used a bit more seasoning, like salt and pepper, and the chicken sausage was overcooked and dry, possibly a better quality sausage could help. The potatoes, however, were fantastic! The portion sizes were generous, which I appreciated. The restaurant serves food all day, so it’s great for anytime dining, but there are some areas where improvement could make a big difference. Overall, I'd give the food a 3/5, but the service and atmosphere were top-notch. I will not return to give it another try but was great I finally went to experience.

Our brunch experience at this place was fantastic. They offer some of the best coffee options on the menu. Hot chocolate was rich and the Cioccoloccino Bianco with white chocolate was delicious too. Weather was perfect so we were able to sit outside on the patio. Service was excellent. Definitely a must try if you're in the area.
