Café Intermezzo - Midtown

This place is top notch and very aesthetic. Lots of coffee and dessert options. The tiramisu and hot chocolate were exquisite. The hostess was very warm and polite. There was a wait time about 15 mins on weekends. Note - there is no free parking nearby.

Café Intermezzo is a quaint and classic Midtown staple. The vibe is uniquely European and there are many food and beverage options. We stopped in for a pick-me-up and snack. We got the hummus (yummy and the naan was hot and fresh), a Nutella-banana crêpe, and a couple hot drinks. I got a Cubano latte: just the right amount of sweetness, but I would have appreciated some latte art or at least more dense foam. Our server was very friendly and outgoing and the midday atmosphere was nice and relaxed.

Sunday night, babe, and I decided to have an impromptu date night here. We showed up around 7 p.m., and we were seated immediately. I decided on the Mexican hot chocolate, and he ordered an Americano. He enjoyed his cup of coffee, but my drink was more exciting. My rich cup of chocolate goodness had me feeling warm and cozy on the inside. We weren't hungry, but I'm a sucker for a cookies and cream cheesecake. I loved looking at the different layers. It was filled with cookies, and the slice was more than enough for 2. The creamy goodness was worth every calorie. 2 hours late, we were still there, so we decided to sip on some alcoholic beverages. I got my fave, Expresso Martini, which was really amazing. He got a man man drinks, but once again, mine was more exciting. My only dislike is finding parking. We opted to park across from the hotel, and that was $21. Besides that, we love coming here after shows or just for a warm sip. Always good customer service, nice ambiance, and delicious drinks.

Overall: A go-to Midtown spot for great coffee, decadent desserts, and European café vibes — ideal for brunch dates, dessert outings, or a relaxed nightcap.

Café Intermezzo — Midtown exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed the best brochette I’ve ever had: the bread was fresh and pleasantly crisp, the tomatoes and sauce were absolutely outstanding, and every bite was full of flavor. The truffle hot chocolate was excellent as well — rich, smooth, and a perfect finish. Highly recommended.
