Breakfast sandwich!
Anita K.

Super cute cafe, with yummy breakfast sandwiches and the best matchas! The seasonal one with blackberry was incredible! I love the sandwich with jalapeño jam it was so so yummy on that soft potato bun. The service was a little slow but there's always a wait so that seems normal. At least the line moves fast and price points seem fair!

Croissant - almond
Rachel C.

This is such a cute place! Not a ton of seating, but enough. Fresh delicious pastries, fast and strong coffee, kind staff...what more could you want?

Overall, this sandwich is definitely worth trying. The jalapeño jam is the best part - it really ties the sandwich together by providing a nice sweet & spicy element. The next best part is the hash brown. Super thicc & crunchy! However, while good, this isn't my fave brekky sammie in Chicago. The flavors rock but texturally, it's kind of a miss with the very soft bun & floppy bacon. This thing is also kinda expensive at $14 before tip.

Visited Allez due to the great things we've heard about their breakfast sandwiches! The sandwiches were very tasty. We ordered the original as well as the potato focaccia sandwich. Both were great picks and were flavorful in their own unique way! Also ordered a matcha latte which was refreshing!

The breakfast sandwich alone is worth coming to this spot for. I came in on a Sunday morning, not a long wait and got the breakfast sandwich and an americano. The eggs were fluffy, the hashbrowns crisp, and the sauces just worked so well to bring it all together into the perfect start to the morning. Coffee was okay, nothing super special. I also think they could benefit from a more consistent cleaning of the tables but overall, a nice place to start the morning, there's seating inside or always an option to take the breakfast sandwich to go (they also have order ahead!).

Truly one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city. Absolutely lives up to the hype! It was pretty crowded when we went but they were really quick getting the sandwiches out. We went at 11:230 and were some of the last people to get a sandwich so wouldn't definitely recommend going early!

Persimmon Latte, St. Patty's Latte, Breakfast Sando
Daniela N.

Came here on a Sunday morning and it was quite busy, but not as busy as you'd expect. I waited in line for about 5 minutes before I was able to put my order in. The staff was super friendly and smiled a lot, which I thought was really nice because I could tell they were slammed with all the customers. Service: 9/10. The ambiance was very cute and had lots of seating. It seemed like the seating was constantly rotating with most people picking up their food to go. You saw some people chatting and catching up with friends, others completing work. Seemed like there was a good amount of outlets for those that needed to charge their laptops while working. Ambiance: 7/10. I ended up ordering the Breakfast Sando with the St. Patty's special latte-- which was a latte with coconut flavors. St. Patty's Latte: It was heavy on the espresso flavor and subtle on the sweetness/ creaminess of the coconut flavored milk cap, which I really liked! It immediately woke me up too which was nice! If you love bittersweet flavors, this is for you! 7/10. **Had a sip of the Persimmon Latte so I will include a quick note about it, and it was pretty good and really sweet. Leaned more heavy on the milk/sweeteners than the coffee. It was nicely balanced and you could really taste the Dulce de Leche. If you're not a sweets person though, it may not be for you. Based on my one sip, 8/10. Breakfast Sando: It was super good. I loved the soft pillowy texture of the egg. The flavor of the jalapeno jam leaned more sweet with a subtle spice aftertaste. The hashbrown was crunchy and a little salty. The bacon was sweet and savory. I liked the sandwich a lot, but it leaned more sweet overall and I prefer more savory/spicy flavors for breakfast sandwiches! 8/10. Overall: I really liked it this place! Would be back to pick up a sandwich to-go. Overall rating: 7.8/10.

breakfast sando + black sesame latte
Leah V.

As a student, finding a good study spot is always high on my to-do list, and I feel like Allez Cafe checked almost all my boxes. From the yummy sando to the chill, vibey music, it's honestly such a great place to study. The music wasn't too loud (which is a must), there was a decent amount of seating, and they had a really nice balance of drinks and food options. The space is a little small, though, so I'd recommend getting there early if you want to snag a wall seat with outlet access. The staff was also super kind and helpful with the menu while I was being completely indecisive lol. Can't wait to go back!

I ordered online and it was super easy. The food was ready when I got there and the staff were extremely kind. The place is a cute cafe with a good amount of seating. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Allez is a must try!

Almond croissant
Kenna G.

Very delicious breakfast at Allez Cafe. Breakfast sandwich was great, enjoyed every bite! Almond praline croissant was off the charts, and picture perfect! Black sesame seasonal latte was also a hit. On the pricier side, $34 for one pastry, sandwich, and coffee. Workers were not very extremely friendly. Smaller space with about 8 tables. Line out the door Sunday around 11. Pastries will sell out!

Allez cafe is the very popular bakery that features a famous breakfast sandwich with jalapeno jam, soft fluffy egg, cheese, and a crispy hash brown. The baked goods and coffee were solid, but this breakfast sandwich was the best I have ever had. Sweet, salty, spicy with a variety of textures, it was incredible. However, the service was so rude, snappy, and unpleasant. They were so curt and unhelpful for no reason and although the sandwich was amazing, the experience was offset by their attitude.

Allez makes a fantastic lattes! You can really taste the quality of the beans because the espresso comes through rich and smooth even in a milk-heavy drink. I've been twice now and enjoyed it both times. Food-wise, I tried both the breakfast sando and the fried chicken sando. The fried chicken was my favorite, it was crispy, flavorful, and super tasty. The only thing is the coleslaw-to-bun ratio feels a little off, so it gets messy fast. Still worth it though. The breakfast sando has great flavors too, the eggs were thick and silky, and the combo of Gouda and jam worked perfectly together. The hash brown, unfortunately was way too greasy for me. It kind of overpowered everything else and made the sandwich feel heavy. If you're sensitive to oily food, I'd definitely stick with the fried chicken instead.

Little coffee shop kind of out of the way but very neat. Delicious breakfast sandwich. It has jalapeño jam and aioli. A thick fried hashbrown. Really good. Also got the mint mocha which was great.

Chicago sips…read more.. Sawada has been on our list though being on the West loop are it wasn't easy getting here in fact it was a great stroll after breakfast at Lou Mitchell's was a perfect stroll to walk it off. You know when you get there it starts to get crowded with various eateries and their huge sign of course so the entrance is a cool spot that gives it a downtown rustic vibe. Entrance you need walk up the stairs and thought it was cute to see the menu along the walls made it easy for me to scan and decide so that I'll be ready to order though unfortunately seating is very limited here as the lower level belongs to the bbq restaurant so finding a spot we had to get creative. I ordered the Hojicha Pumpkin Spiced Latte of course it's seasonal and sounds so irresistible and as I asked about one of the various stickers they have the staff gave me one of their logo which was free so nice and unexpected along with a choice of pastries (all made in house) when I told her I was visiting and chose a matcha glazed donut. The downtown vibe here is nice and fun along with the bbq place there was also a ramen in the basement with a singular sign is wild to see the various foodie places Chicago is known for and loved this part of town, my drink was nice and smooth with the Hojicha roasted and slightly nuttiness was nice with the hint of spice wasn't too sweet and was a great choice. Keep this on your list for the fun for something unique and cool as it's always a treat at Sawada. Thank you!

#chicago #flyforfriends #yelpfriends #gourmetcoffee…read more So the real question is what does one do in the great city of Chicago? Well, if you are with Matcha snobs and coffee snobs, you will end up visiting Sawada coffee Located on the second floor at 112 N. Green Street is Sawada coffee. It's together with another establishment. The tables inside the establishment do not belong to Sawada Coffee The trick to securing the seat belonging to the other establishment is to purchase something from that other establishment so that us Sawada coffee drinkers can peacefully sip on our drinks Don't ever think that coffee is just coffee, because it isn't you will learn this if you would to visit with Sawada Coffee if and when you are in the area in Chicago. A post script to this review is I just happen to be traveling with a bunch of people that are coffee and Matcha Kings and Queens I am a pawn still learning

It was nutty, and I could actually taste the espresso without the miso, caramel, or black sesame overpowering it. The flavors worked together really well, and it was delicious. The Basic 9/10 was a pumpkin puree latte with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice. The pumpkin and cinnamon flavors were strong, and the espresso was delicious. Definitely my favorite of the two! Honestly, I wish this place were closer to where I live because I could see it becoming my go-to coffee shop. I really loved their espresso flavor. The vibes are chill and casual with a strong '80s aesthetic. It's pretty spacious but gets packed, with couches for lounging and water and Wi-Fi available. The music is upbeat and loud, though, so I'd say it's more of a lounge to hang out with friends than a quiet place to work.

I told the guy that the drink was terrible, that it tasted like warmed up Hersheys syrup. He took my drink and said, "Oh I'm sorry about that." I paused a second; he had nothing else to say. He didn't offer to make me a new drink. Didn't offer a pastry. Didn't offer a refund. I'm out $6 and I did not get to enjoy a treat. We're urged to support local, but experiences like this remind me why I like to go to the consistent chain that ALWAYS remakes my drink if there's a problem (which their rarely is), no questions asked. Totally disappointing. Would not go back because my drink was terrible and the customer service didn't exist.
