Here was a place where people stepped out
of their everyday world and into a world of
its own. Here was a place where they read,

Café Intermezzo serves all five senses,
presenting coffees, pastries, beverages with
and without alcohol, and cuisine choices
morning through late-night, every day of the
year (except Christmas and Thanksgiving).
We invite you to experience Café Intermezzo,
the European coffeehouse in America
since 1979. Brian Olson
