Cafe Intermezzo
Included In
For nearly 50 years, Cafe Intermezzo has been both a quintessential date outing and leading late-night haunt, so we gather there’ve been plenty of wine-drunk arguments around these tiny round European cafe tables. Their Midtown cafe is one of the newer locations, and it’s our favorite because of their patio, which overlooks a busy stretch of Peachtree Street. It looks like it’s plucked from some Parisian sidewalk. Gilded ceilings, dark cavernous interiors, and a few well-placed sculptures and Art Nouveau posters make up the scene. While their pastas and sandwiches are decent, the food has never been the star. You’re here for the giant dessert selections (any of the cakes or cheesecakes are great picks) and the most comprehensive coffee menu we’ve ever seen in the ATL.
