Café Intermezzo bills itself as Das Europäische Kaffeehaus (the European
coffee house). It used to be in the affluent northern part of Buckhead, but has
now moved to Midtown (and the airport). It is a very upscale Vienna-style Konditorei, which serves some 50
different cheesecakes, pies, and cakes, as well as an extensive breakfast,
lunch and dinner menu.
After long
consideration and consultation we choose the Chocolate Hazelnut Praline Torte ($7.99).
It is a dense hazelnut mousse with pieces of hazelnut, a liquid layer of thick
chocolate and a thin crust. Very rich, but very tasty. We also share the Chocolate-Raspberry
Truffle ($7.99), a combination of cheesecake and chocolate cake with a layer of
raspberry jelly in it. Very good.
VERDICT: 90/100
As good as it gets
in terms of American Vienna-style cakes (although they are much richer than in
Vienna).
