The Cheesecake Case |
We ordered our hot chocolates first. I went with Mexican hot chocolate with cinnamon and dark chocolate chips and Evan chose the Belgium hot chocolate with Nutella. Both equally amazing and both COVERED in fresh whipped cream. Then we approached the dessert cases. They have multiple dessert "tour guides" that stand on either side and describe each and every dessert to each and every person that asks. No small task considering there were no less than 40 cheesecakes on one side and 40 cakes/tortes on the other side. It is so hard to choose because each pastry looks better than the next. And the descriptions make everything sound that much better. Even the stuff that I normally wouldn't be that interested in looked mouth-watering. We finally settled on a Nutella moose-filled pastry for Evan and a pumpkin-chocolate torte for me. They were both outstanding.
The overall experience of Cafe Intermezzo is really what you go for. The place is tight with tiny table-tops and crowded and cozy and you feel like you just stepped into a little slice of Europe. The lights are dim, you are surrounded my mirrors, the music is soft, and the food is stellar. You half expect the servers to speak a different language. It could be French, it could be Italian, who cares... you just point to what you want and you know it's going to be amazing. I am not a big drinker but this place is also quite popular for the fact that they stay open until 2am serving amazing wine, champagne, and mixed drinks as well. It is by no stretch of the imagination the place to go if you are looking to stretch your dollar but if you are looking for an excuse to splurge, this place is worth the pb and j you're eating leading up to your fancy night out at Cafe Intermezzo. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
