Café Intermezzo Could Close Buckhead Spot as Soon as Monday

Buckhead's Café Intemezzo could close as early as Monday as the popular desserts eatery relocates to Midtown.

The coffeehouse at 1845 Peachtree Road opened nearly a quarter of a century ago and has grown into an after dinner and first date favorite as well as a go-to spot for out-of-town visitors.

Café Intermezzo offers more than 100 different tortes, tarts, cakes, pies and cheesecakes and scores of coffee beverages, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

The eatery's spokeswoman told Buckhead Patch she could not say definitively when the Buckhead outlet would close, but she said it would shutter the night before the Midtown spot opens.

But a handwritten note at the new spot — Midtown's 12th & Peachtree project — says it will open Monday.

Melissa Brown, Café Intermezzo's marketing manager, said the Midtown digs are attractive because that neighborhood is Atlanta's hot spot and it's in a great location.

Brian Olson opened the first Café Intermezzo in Dunwoody in 1979. The Brookwood Café Intermezzo opened its doors in December 1987.
