    Breakfast Sandwich
    Tina L.

    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.

    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!).

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Arash R.

    Great place to grab your morning coffee and quick delicious bite. The fried chicken sandwich is a top 5 for me in the Chicago, the pastries are delicious and they have a limited and well balanced menu (no GF options that I came across). Service is good and ambiance is cozy cafe. Check it out if you are in Bucktown!!!

    While trying to find the restaurant I actually missed it , besides the color , it's not the easily noticed storefront , upon entering you enter a dim lit room with assorted chairs and small tables , truthfully not much to it , but wow , don't judge a book by its cover former Alinea and Blackbird cook Jason Melamed is the founder of. Noted as rival to Kasama , the breakfast Sandwich stands out as one of the best in the city , Egg Patty, Gouda Cheese, House-made Hashbrown, Thick Cut Bacon, Onion Aioli & Jalapeño Jam served on a Martin's Potato Roll, unbelievable ! They also do specialty coffees so I opted for the creation , TURKISH MATCHA: which includes Baklava Syrup, Pistachio Milk , walnut bitters :and ORANGE BLOSSOM . amazing , , so I advise a visit , you won't be disappointed , unless you go after 2 pm , because they close early

    Very yummy breakfast sandwich, loved the crispy hashbrown and fluffy egg soufflé and the jalapeño jam worked very nicely. Loved their seasonal pandan vanilla malt cold foam latte that one time. Just had a pumpkin spice riff that was quite good too. Excited to go back, yummy flavor options. Not a ton of seating but cozy inside.

They also have a patio, and with the weather being nice, it was easy to just sit outside and relax for a while. I was honestly too hungry to spend much time deciding, so I just ordered one of the sourdough donut ball. It was exactly what I was hoping for. The outside had a light coating of sugar that gave it just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. Once I bit into it, the inside was soft, airy, and slightly chewy from the sourdough, which made it different from a regular donut. There was a subtle tang from the sourdough that balanced the sweetness really well, so it never felt overly sugary. It had a light crispness on the outside, then a warm, pillowy center that practically melted away with each bite. I finished it way faster than I expected. The only thing I forgot was ordering something to drink with it. Looking back, a good coffee would've made it even better. Still, I'd definitely stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

Our family and extended family often ordered birthday cakes from them, and their mango cake was our favorite. When mangoes were in season, they used plenty of fresh mango in the cakes. Their cakes are always fresh, light, fluffy, and not too sweet. My daughter and I also love their individual cakes, especially the Black Pearl and Walnut Cake. Their pineapple buns and egg tarts are her favorites as well. Saint Anna has also been part of our daughter's childhood. When she was little, my husband used to bring her here before or after Chinese school in Chinatown on Sundays. Her go-to breakfast items were the Butter Bun, Ham and Macaroni in Soup, and Diced Ham and Corn in Cream Rice. As she got older, Curry Chicken with Potato became her favorite. She especially loved the potato cubes soaked in the delicious, mild curry sauce. She would always ask for more potatoes and less chicken, haha! Saint Anna is a family-run business, and Sara and Irene, the daughters-in-law, used to take care of the front of house. They were always so friendly and accommodating. After a 6-year hiatus, we finally returned one Friday recently when we happened to be in the area with a friend. Sara is now a co-owner, and it was wonderful to see her again. She immediately recognized us and was so warm and welcoming. She even asked me to relay her greetings to my sisters when she greeted us and again when we were leaving. Those little gestures made our return feel especially meaningful. We were still full from a big dim sum lunch, so my daughter picked up 2 Mini Pineapple Buns and 2 Paper-Wrapped Sponge Cakes, while I got a Red Bean Roll. Everything was fresh, soft, and delicious, and the total came to just under $8, really a great value. Our friend also purchased 2 Fried Sticky Rice Dumplings with Chicken. I had never really paid attention to their limited dim sum selection before, so that was a nice discovery. We love Saint Anna and will definitely be back whenever we're in the area.
