It's not just the excellent coffee products and baked goods (best of any baked goods that I have eaten in any coffee shop) but how the staff truly connects with its customers.

I look forward to my continued patronage of the Cafe and connection with a wonderful staff. Bill F.

Breakfast Apparently Got a Publicist…read more Allez Café is what happens when breakfast stops phoning it in and starts dressing like it has reservations somewhere afterward. The smoked salmon breakfast plate was ridiculously good. Silky smoked salmon, crisp cucumber, capers, pickled onions, fresh herbs, and these spectacular slices of watermelon radish, which I initially identified by their scientific name: the watermelon thingy. The whole plate is a collision of rich, salty, tart, fresh and crunchy. Somehow everybody survives. And it's beautiful. Almost annoyingly beautiful. This is breakfast that knows it photographs well. The salmon is gorgeous, the herbs are scattered just so, and the watermelon radish shows up dressed like it's attending the Met Gala. Then there's the avocado breakfast plate. Avocado has become so ubiquitous that it practically needs its own congressional district, but Allez reminds you why we became obsessed with the stuff in the first place. Creamy, fresh avocado paired with their excellent bread and thoughtfully chosen accompaniments turns something familiar into something memorable. Simple ingredients, creatively assembled, without some chef trying to prove he owns tweezers. And then there's the bread. Allez is a bakery, after all, and the bread makes you realize most supermarket bread is basically an edible envelope. The room itself is terrific: bright, open, exceptionally clean, filled with natural light, plants and greenery. It has that rare contemporary design that manages to look cool without making you wonder whether you're allowed to sit down. Open shelves, plants, clean lines and plenty of light make the whole place feel fresh and alive. Even the ficus looks like it has a 401(k). And the service matched the room: cheerful, friendly and genuinely welcoming. Not the carefully rehearsed, "How is everything tasting?" delivered while already walking away. These were people who actually seemed pleased you were there. Allez has managed to pull off something increasingly rare: creative food without pretension, beautiful presentation without gimmicks, stylish surroundings without sterility, and excellent service without theater. The salmon was superb. The avocado was terrific. The bread could probably negotiate its own book deal. Five stars. And I'd go back tomorrow, if only to visit my new friend, the watermelon thingy.

Overall, a fabulous experience with their friendly team and the bustling Findlay Market atmosphere.

We snacked on a blueberry scone and a savory soft pretzel. My husband was happy to indulge in his favorite beer on tap (Truth) and I had a Smelly Cat Frappe.

Overall it was a bit overfilled so it was very messy and hard to eat. I could have done without the hidden coconut shavings inside. KIMCHI & EGG CROISSANT 5 I had this one for breakfast. I warmed it in my air fryer for 6 minutes on 330 so it didn't overcook. The croissant was flaky and delicious, and the kimchi added good flavor without being spicy. I would have liked to see a little more mozzarella but overall it was tasty! SOBACHA CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE 4 Also tasty, oversized cookie. Soft and chewy texture. CINNAMON ALMOND BLUEBERRY TOAST (THURSDAY/FRIDAY ONLY) 5.25 Very good. The cinnamon filling reminded me of a brown sugar pop tart. I warmed it in my air fryer and it was perfect. Would order again.

The location was right where we had parked our car in the "Gallery" area and looked super cute on the outside so my husband and I tried it out. There were no other customers at the time but the staff were really kind and helpful. And extra bonus was just outside in the fake grass area, my kids immediately walked over and watched Bluey on the big screen so I can easily order our drinks without interruption. I ordered an iced mocha and my husband ordered an iced latte - we were both pleasantly surprised by how good the coffee was.

The atmosphere feels elegant and inviting, creating a true upscale dining experience from the moment you arrive. The espresso martini was exceptional. The subtle hint of orange added just the right amount of brightness and brought the entire cocktail together beautifully. We were excited by the menu and ended up sampling several dishes: * Bread & Butter Service: A wonderful start to the meal. The presentation was beautiful, and they serve bread from Sixteen Bricks, one of Cincinnati's best local bakeries. Absolutely delicious. * Battered Cauliflower: The portion was generous, and the honey buffalo sauce was downright addictive. I fully intended to save some for later, but it never made it into a to-go box. * Short Rib Baguette: Served with a large portion of fries that were perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The short rib was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, and the fries were impossible to stop eating. * Filet: Perfectly seasoned and topped with a rich garlic reduction that complemented the steak beautifully. The mashed potatoes were especially memorable--creamy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. * Dessert: We ordered both the PB&J peanut butter pie and the Fruity Pebbles cake. Both were creative and delicious. The cake had fantastic frosting, but the peanut butter pie was the star for me--rich, decadent, and absolutely worth ordering. The portions are generous enough to share, though I was happy to take some home. Even the details impressed me. The restrooms were immaculate and beautifully designed, and every member of the staff--from the restaurant to the hotel--was warm, welcoming, and eager to help. From arrival to departure, Iris Café delivered the kind of thoughtful hospitality and elevated dining experience that leaves you already looking forward to your next visit. Highly recommended.
