Crave-Worthy Salads!! An oxymoron??? Not at Cafe Intermezzo!!
by sahummell06
I have been to Cafe Intermezzo every time I have visited Berkeley for years. Now that I live in Los Angeles, I am asking them to ship me their herbal vinigarette so I can close my eyes and pretend I am in the bustle of the cafe itself. The fresh baked bread is worth every carb, and if you ask nice, and you come at the right time, they very well may let you buy a loaf for home! If you are within 50 miles of this place, drive there now and eat a salad, sandwich or soup. If you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for me!!
- Pros: Amazing salads, to die for bread
- Cons: Long lines ( but worth the wait!!)

Good for students on a budget
by maudi
This place is only good for students on a budget. Other than that, the quality is not that great. The place is kinda dirty and the salads are always too much food and soggy. The sanitation of the place needs to change. Especially since its on telegraph, which is so old and dingy.
- Pros: Cheap eats
- Cons: cleanliness, presentation

what's the hype?
by gimmeyum
Yes, the portions are huge. But so what? When I ordered onion soup, it came cold and tasted bland. The sandwhiches are nothing special. The salads are gigantic but uncreative. The food isn't bad, it's just very basic. Given a couple minutes at home, I could definitely make a better soup, salad, or sandwhich myself. If you are in a rush and havea big appetite, Cafe Intermezzo could provide an adequate meal that won't break the bank. But then again, there's always that long line! Not worth the wait. There are plenty of other (and better) cheap eats in the neighborhood that you won't have to stand in line for.
- Pros: huge portions; not expensive
- Cons: bland, boring, basic. and a long line to boot.
