Georgia is known for its Southern fare, but visitors will be transported to a European coffeehouse at Café Intermezzo, which has multiple locations around the city. Offering more than 70 kinds of homemade pastries as well as cakes and pies, the Midtown Atlanta location is open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Cafe Intermezzo (Midtown)

  • Address: 1065 Peachtree Street, Suite 2, Atlanta
  • Phone: (404) 355-0411

Here's how the cafe describes itself: "Long before the modern 'Coffee Houses' adorned corners all over America, Café Intermezzo embodied the essence of the 300-year-old European coffeehouse. Step into Café Intermezzo, and you are stepping into another time, another place. It’s a vacation, a holiday, an intermezzo, or intermission between the busy acts of your life ... in musical terms, it’s your rest between allegro and adagio. A wonderful cappuccino, a beautiful pastry, and your getaway or rendezvous is complete. On another visit, you might enjoy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a late-night appetizer with a glass of wine or a cocktail.

"The Beverage Book offers hundreds of choices. 'TourGuides' take you through descriptions of nearly sixty pastries. Café Intermezzo has been presenting the place, the time, the choices for over forty years. It is truly a tradition, complete only with the presence of you!"

The website editors picked the best dessert shop by looking at online reviews from locals and tourists as well as ratings from local and national publications like newspapers, magazines and travel guides. "We made sure these spots had a variety of dessert offerings rather than only offering just the best ice cream or the best doughnuts in each state. We also focused on places that stay open into the evening so you can swing by for a sweet treat after dinner."
