Café Intermezzo - Midtown

Café Intermezzo - Midtown Company Overview   Idealized hundreds of years before current American coffee houses took shape, Café Intermezzo is a portal to a different era and a different world. When you step into Café Intermezzo, you are transported to a different time and place. A repose, a retreat, a vacation, or a holiday. An "intermezzo" between the hustle of life's events. When you enjoy a beautiful pastry and cappuccino, your escape is complete. You can also have a full meal, be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Or a late-night appetizer and drink instead. It was a tradition, and it is utter when you are not present. In 1971, Brian Olson conceived the idea of Café Intermezzo in Germany, his ancestral homeland. Olson was struck by a Konditorei (cafe-bakery) in Berlin during his travels. The inspiration was quickly followed by a visit to many others in Germany and Austria. Olson began to see the Europäische Kaffeehaus as a place in its guests' lives. It became clear that this place could find a niche in America. Olson believed the Kaffeehaus would be a much-needed repose from the daily grind. A place where people could unwind, relax, and think. Cafés in Europe do not cater to fast food. The waiting is part of the experience. Europeans love and cherish this approach. This cafe's music, scents, art, and nature are all a part of its home. This café's peace is inside. Hurry and rush are left outside. However, thought - the ethereal, nearly spiritual stuff of life’s most powerful creative forces - is everywhere else. It is as if the body and mind are both at peace. You can gather with a friend or complete a business meeting here, or sit quietly while you ponder the present, the future, or even the past. This place will be worth your time.
