Food is fresh. Great sandwiches and salads. Line was long but moved pretty quickly. Space is large with lots of seating + patio. Grab a table quick before someone else does. You may have to bus it and wipe it down, too. Don't forget to bus your own table when you're done. Very similar to when I first ate here in the late nineties.

ROME PETRO
A young man with a red hat was in back of me in line and he wouldn’t stop talking about how he was going to report every single person that wasn’t American to DHS. He used more slurs in that twenty minutes than needed. But he was escorted out by two rather large Hispanic men. All I heard was whimpering. Cafe intermezzo was a delight as usual.

Started going here almost thirty years ago, when my band used to play at Blake's cross the street. I was blown away then and still am. Huge portions of salad and the softest bread to go along with your sandwiches. They really make you feel like you're being well fed and taken care of. Such a relief that they reopened after the fire. I don't get to come here often because I live on the other side of the bay but when I visit my aunt I try to stop by. She was equally impressed by the food when we shared our Mezzo the last time... many would say it's enough for 2 people. My favorite is the veggie half sandwich combo with a salad. I so wish they had a place like this on the peninsula!

Real good. The 1/2 sandwich 1/2 salad combo was more than enough food for a tall 200 lb middle aged guy. Friendly service. Plenty of seating.

MEZZO!! LET'S GO!! What a delicious delicious experience here. I came in when it looked a little slow, and I honestly had no clue what to get. I decided to do the BLTA on some kind of whole grain bread with the works, pickled jalapeños added, extra pickles ots, and the chipotle aioli on the side. The shorter man with a mustache who took my order made me the most delicious sandwich ever! It was genuinely everything I could have wanted. There's a perfect balance of bacon and all the vegetables on it. The mayo and dijon add to the smoothness of the avocado, and it all melts together in the best flavor profile ever. The chipotle aioli was also absolutely delicious for dipping the sandwich into. It would've been really amazing inside the sandwich as well, but truthfully it's not a necessity with all the other well balanced aspects of it. The sprouts were a surprising addition that added a little extra texture-wise and I would think nutrient wise, or at least it made me feel healthier. They were also really good.
The ambiance of the place was kind of okay. Not my favorite because it was so loud next door but the workers keep everything neat and theyre pretty friendly. I did get a mango green tea that tasted nothing like mango or green tea, but it was still a really tasty drink. It all came out to around 18 bucks, which I thought was pretty worth it. All in all, I DEFINITELY will be coming back.
I had a great BLT sandwich and vanilla latte here yesterday. Mina was so kind and I see her here all the time in the mornings. She makes a great latte too!

The girl behind the counter yesterday when I went to pay straight up looked at me when I said hi without saying anything back, then proceeded to finish whatever she was doing and left the store (I’m assuming she was done with her shift.) I then had to wait a couple for minutes for someone else to help me. Let me say be clear: treating customers like garbage reflects poorly on the whole place and is bad for business. Not coming back.

I am not sure what happened on this day.
The person making my salad rubbed her nose all over her hands did not proceed to wash her hands, and then put her gloves on and started to serve me. I asked for a half-and-half vegetarian with no sprouts. She made me completely the wrong salad and put sprouts on it and when I repeated no thank you no sprouts. She just took the sprouts off and they were still sprouts in the bowl.
My salad was made in a bowl that other salads had previously been made in.
There was a stack of bowls, that have been sitting there who knows how long- that they were mixing every salad in the same dirty bowls. The bowl that my salad was mixed in had completely different dressing in it than the kind that I requested so it was all mix mixed together.
Later on, I saw someone mixing lemonade in a container on the floor.
The trash can and the place where you return your dirty dishes is right next to where they store clean dishes and where you can fill a water cup.
I’m very concerned about the health and safety of the food made at this restaurant. Say nothing about cross contamination because clearly that is not important to them.
I cannot recommend vegetarians to eat here because it’s possible that your food will be mixed with meat without your consent.
People with food allergies should not eat here either.
Just look at the mess.

I've been here twice. First time was amazing, second time was really good. Both times the sandwiches were 5 stars and plentiful. I would go here regularly if it was closer. The staff is pretty good and welcoming especially being a first timer and not really understanding their process or knowing the menu. I wish the place was more organized. If it's busy, I can understand that things get a little disorganized but when it's slow, toddy things up. Definitely plan to go back.
