Bread case
Isaac S.

It's no wonder many of the restaurants around OTR serve bread from Allez on their menu, notably Pepp & Dolores and Salazar. Right when you walk in, you're greeted with the incredible smell of fresh baked bread. The front counter occupies a small space compared to the rows of freshly baked goods and industrial sized ovens lining the back. There's a selection of pastries and cookies right next to the cash register. Espresso chocolate chip cookies, zucchini bread, coffee cake.. Then you have the beautiful display of bread on a wooden shelf. Baguettes, sourdough, focaccia.. the bread here is incredible. The love and care in making each load is evident. Great rustic flavor, seasoned well, and that beautifully satisfying crust. We make a weekly run to get the urban sourdough. Have them slice it for you on your way out. Allez bakery is now a staple for us, and you can bet we'll always have bread from them on our counter. Go try it for yourself, maybe it will become a staple for you too.

turkey

New favorite lunch spot! Tried their turkey pesto on focaccia, it hit all the marks. My coworker can't stop raving about the sausage sandwich he had here last week. You order at the front and they will bring it to your table. Highly recommend giving it a try!

Excellent Cappuccino
Aubrey U.

Just opened! I had already had food elsewhere, so I didn't need to eat anything, but the menu you looks great! Everything was very tempting. I ordered a delicious cappuccino to go from a friendly gentleman, and it didn't take very long. I can't wait to get back in and try more. I loved this spot previously and am very excited that it has been brought back to life by a business that is already top of its game.

Regular latte, iced vanilla latte with oat, breakfast sandwiches

popped into the place to start off our day trip in Cincinnati! this place was so cute and the staff was incredibly friendly. the owner seemed to know everyone! the breakfast sandwiches were incredible, the bread was my favorite part. my partner enjoyed his latte and the iced vanilla latte I had was so yummy! we will definitely be back next time we are in the city :)

Seeded sourdough
John B.

The storefront for this bakery is tiny, but when you see the spread of delicious baked goods, you'll be glad you found it. There appeared to be the option for online preorders, but the shop was open for regular walk-in business when I dropped by. I could have picked just about anything, but the seeded loaf I got was a robust and aromatic option, with a notable fennel seed kick. As much as I need to eat less carbs, I still wished I'd gotten another loaf. A sesame-topped sticky bun was no less delicious. The baked goods scene in Cincinnati is quite strong, and I would note that Brown Bear and O Pie O (among others) are within a block or two and offer a sufficiently different selection that I have no problem shopping at multiple bakeries whenever I visit the city. For a straight up loaf of bread, I doubt you'll find better than this place.

I have seen so many posts about Allez Bakery on Instagram and heard fellow Elites talking about them for quite a while now. A few weeks ago, I was downtown for a meeting and when I found myself close to Allez Bakery, I had to stop. I read the reviews before I went in because I wanted to see what the top recs were. It was very clear that sourdough is the thing to NOT miss at Allez Bakery. The staff was SO friendly and helpful. They walked me through the different types of sourdough and eventually sold me a loaf of sourdough rye after I asked an employee which sourdough was the most sour. We then shared a bonding moment over our love for "flavors that punch us in the face." They sliced the bread for me and I ate a piece the moment I was back in my car. It was delicious-- some of the best bread I have ever had. I made turkey reubens with it that week and they were fantastic. The bakery itself is tiny, but so cute and warm and inviting. 100/10 will be back.

I stopped by to pick up a loaf of bread on my way home from an appt today. This is one of our favorite spots to come for fresh baked bread it's just unfortunate that it's over 30 mins away from our house. Still we make an effort anytime we're down here to grab one to go because it's addicting Our favorite is the sourdough bread. Warm it up in a toaster oven for a nice crunch and a warm doughy center. I can't speak for the pastries yet but I'm sure I'll try one someday. The service is always friendly as you're greeted with a smile. The atmosphere isn't much to speak of since it's a small take out area as the building mostly houses the equipment for baking. A simple takeout bakery but oh so delicious!

Chocolate Chip Banana Bread
Nicolas L.

My wife and I stopped into Allez Bakery recently for a quick breakfast to go. We each got a slice of Chocolate Chip Banana Bread which was soft, moist, and lightly sweet with a crumbly crust on top and rich chocolate mixed in.

I was running past and decided to stop in. I got the orange blossom and cranberry scone with pistachio & candied orange, blueberry muffin with lemon sugar streusel, and the cheddar scallion biscuit. I liked them all but the biscuit was definitely my favorite!! If I lived here, I would come back for that and to try the loaves of bread as well!! It cost $12 for the 3 pastries.

We became introduced to Allez Bakery by dining at Pepp & Dolores. We absolutely love their bread there, so we asked if they made it in-house. Actually, they get their bread from Allez Bakery. The bakery closed at 3 p.m. the day we found out about it, but we were determined to try them another time. Today was the day! It was after 1 p.m. so perhaps they usually have more to choose from, but today they had baguettes, focaccia and epi as far as breads. She let me know that they had more baguettes in the back to which I asked if we could get some freshly made. "No, they were all baked last night" was the answer. Ended up buying a couple of baguettes and an epi. My husband was a little disappointed as they didn't taste as fresh as the ones we had at P & D. He was happy to find another place that sells them. They did have lots of nice looking cookies to choose from.

This turkey sandwich is the BEST meal I've had all year. I'm a sandwich snob and am always in search of the perfect combo. My favorites have been from street carts in France and delis in VA. This ranks up there as one of my favs. The turkey is flavorful and moist without that packaged cold cut taste. The focaccia was sturdy but not too crisp (to be expected from these master bakers). Perfectly seasoned with pesto mayo that was not overwhelming but held the crunchy lettuce and bursts of marinated tomatoes in place. All that, and enough to share or save for a midnight snack and way less expensive than my mediocre chain bakery standard sandwich. It was perfection! So sorry I didn't tip. I usually do but the hands-off, appropriate social distancing and other hungry customers in line behind me made me rush. I will double up on my return trip.

This place is heaven!…read more I am not the biggest donut person so I love a place that has donuts and baked goods alike! This place doesn't disappoint - there is so much to choose from and the options rotate daily ! I personally love the blueberry fritters - They are huge and layers of blueberry yet they are only 3 bucks (that's so cheap). The strawberry cheese pastry was also delicious and flaky. The only thing I ordered that I wasn't a huge fan of was the pretzel - it was big and the price was right but it didn't taste better than a wawa pretzel twist. The donuts also come warm since the case seems to be a warming case which is a nice touch. The workers are so nice and they will explain every flavor to you if needed since there are no labels. The place is small and so is the parking lot.

Amazing local bakery that my friend recommended to me! They have a large variety of breads, stuffed…read moreand glazed donuts, and pastries. I went late on a Sunday morning and the small parking lot next door was full. There was a short line in the small shop ahead of me and some of the best sellers were sold out. The person who helped me answered all my questions and I enjoyed everything I tried, including a small cinnamon roll-like pastry and palmier. Best of all, I bought 3 items and the total was less than $6! I look forward to coming again to try more.

Every pastry is made with the finest European butter, and you can taste the difference. The owner brings that same dedication to every customer interaction, he remembers your face, greets you with a genuine smile, and often invites you to try something new. It's the kind of warm, personal service that's increasingly rare, and it makes every visit feel like a little celebration.
