Look what's up at Peachtree & 11th

There’s been much action at the intersection of Peachtree and 11th streets these days and that’s where we stop by for our Midtown Patch Picture of the Day.

Occupying the northeast corner adjacent to Loews Atlanta Hotel, Café Intermezzo will soon bring its European flair to the $2 billion 12th & Midtown mixed-use development project on the Midtown Mile. It will replace the Brookwood location (1845 Peachtree Road) that has been open for almost 25 years. The Atlanta-based European coffeehouse is reported to be targeting a November opening.

Café Intermezzo offers more than 100 different tortes, tarts, cakes, pies and cheesecakes; scores of coffee beverages and other beverages with and without alcohol.

Across the street on the northwest corner, the Texas-based Mi Cocina is set to open in the 12th & Midtown development in October. Serving hand-crafted, fresh and traditional Tex-Mex cuisine in a modern, elegant setting, Mi Cocina is introducing itself to Atlanta with this restaurant readying itself for diners soon in the heart of Midtown.

The two-level space will have more than 300 seats, including two private dining rooms, and see here for more site plans.
