Last night, I went to one of my favorite late-night spots, Cafe Intermezzo in mid-town Atlanta. It's the perfect ending to any late night, whether you're on a date or an outing with the girls. Anytime coffee and sweets are a must and Starbucks has shut it's hallowed doors, we find ourselves at Intermezzo. This Viennese-style cafe is locally famous for it's wide array of hot chocolates, teas, coffee drinks and pastries. The Mexican Hot Chocolate and the Belgian Chocolate Tea-yes chocolate tea-are highly recommended.
No matter how decadent the cheesecake, one thing that isn't always so sweet is how big the check can be at the end of the night. Over-all, Intermezzo is a bit pricey. So, single girls on a budget, who don't have man candy picking up the tab, should opt for EITHER a dessert OR drink. When I'm craving something rich, I head straight for the dessert case for a banana cheesecake or Tiramisu. Otherwise, it's piping hot tea for me ..... and so far, the Belgian Chocolate is winning. But if you MUST have coffee with your dessert, a regular cup is just $2.85
For those of you who can't afford to indulge at all, I encourage you to go anyway:
1. The cozy atmosphere is created by warm candle light and eclectic tunes. The patio is especially nice and breezy, and quite enjoyable if your grubbing or not.
2.Water is ALWAYS free, and if anything, scan the menu and at least ACT like you intend to order.
3. If you have cool friends, one of them may offer to treat you to a pecan pie and an ol' cuppa joe!

You're right about Intermezzo. It's particularly
great on a cool summer night or even a brisk autumn night. Can you tell I like it there at night?
It is a romantic spot, a great first date or a reminder
that you still "like" your husband after many years of marriage. Now that you've brought it up, I'm going to have to drag my man down there for coffee AND
dessert! We roll like that:)
believe it or not, I, Frames He's Zen, was actually dining at intermezzo this past night....and I am beginning to really enjoy the cafe...it's going on that list of places to eat in the city, like surin of thailand and queen of sheba, as well as canoe, and capitol grille. I really like intermezzo, tonight I enjoyed the white chili and the spicy chicken tortellini and Jasmine flowers green tea, it was a hearty, delectable meal. my soul was satisfied.
