    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Seeded sourdough

    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

    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.

    We had our noses stuck on the store window few minutes before opening - as Billy Joel might say -…read morewe were in a sandwich state of mind. The store was running late on the bread bake (which meant ours was as fresh as I could be). I spent a good 10-15 minutes in my Yankees cap (like the color not the team) studying the cuts of meat while a guy in a Redsox hat waited on the adjacent stool for his Boston Beef '3 way'. The wait staff were making some valid points about chatGPT while shredding the turkey, but I kept my mouth shut and my nose clean. Our Square and New Deal sandwiches were impeccable (albeit objectively speaking, my New Deal was better). I'm looking for the right mix of textures, meat, no skimping on Kewpie and a bread I can take a good bite out of - and it was an all around excellent sandwich on those counts. In waiting - I refreshed knowledge of hog body parts, and no Yanks/Sox fights broke out. It's a pleasant interlude to your mid-day, don't expect express service, but the end result will be to your taste

I would not recommend the Reuben (cut wasn't thick enough), which my friends got, but I would recommend the new deal.

Somehow they could tell I was new to Alveo, and they explained the process. Cashier was very sweet. Owner/Head chef took the time to chat with me, it obvious he cares as much about the ingredients as he does the customers' experience. Top notch dude. The sandwich? Criminally delicious. All the ingredients of the Tacchina were different temps, textures, flavors, so when they came together between the bread, it was an unparalleled experience. If they sold the GF focaccia by the loaf, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I respect the ingredients of the chips, just didn't love the flavor and texture (olive oil) and the bag is big enough to share with a friend. Tried the orange Italian soda, wasn't a fav, but maybe another flavor would be better. Would like to see more umbrellas for the patio, but I was lucky to snag a spot in the shade, at that point in the day. Alveo is the best sandwich I've had in 7 years of living here! Almost glad I don't live closer, as I'd be here constantly! Worth the drive! I will dream of the Tacchina!

I had heard that their pop-up dinners sell out very quickly so I was ready the day they were posted and grabbed a few spots for one of their February dates. We arrived and were greeted with a glass of Prosecco and then we found a seat at the long community table set for 20; it was so much fun getting to know the people seated next to us! Dinner was delicious! Four courses-the gnocchi with sausage was our favorite dish of the night.

If you follow them on socials, you can score a seat at the pop-ups. The place is an old house with a lot of character. The food for carryout is fantastic and their bread is fantastic. We live in West Chester and have driven down to there a few times just to pick up delicious dinners. We just attended our first dinner there last Tuesday. Oh My Goodness! What a treat. Jordan greeted us with a glass of Prosecco and directed us where to sit a long table that seats 20. We introduced ourselves to our seatmates and then our first dish arrived. Chef does explain the food before we had each dish, however we wished there was more background and history as to how this place came into being. So expect fantastic food without a lot of details. The first dish was a salad made with all local ingredients. It was so fresh and the dressing made with fresh dill was fantastic. The second dish was a ravioli with northern Italian cheese on a bed of butternut squash puree and brown butter. The pasta was SO delicate and the flavors complimented each other so well. The third dish was a 6 hour braised pork shoulder with ricotta gnocchi in a sauce with Calabrian chilis and I don't know what else. We have been to Italy and all the Italian restaurants in Cincinnati and never had anything like this. It was truly phenomenal. Dessert was a apple upside down cake served warm with whipped cream...fantastic. You bring your own wine, and Jordan is on it by never letting your glass get empty, pouring water, and clearing dishes. Service was so great and she is so friendly and accommodating. The cost was a very reasonable $100/pp and SO worth it. There is no menu, so you go in just devouring what Chef has prepared.
