Allez Bakery

Bought the sourdough sunflower cherry and the black pepper Parmesan sourdough. Also had the rye sourdough before. Worth the trip. Yummy .

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.

Dare I say this is the best bread in cincinnati? SO delicious. The sourdough is the star here, it's super chewy and just how a good sourdough should be.

We absolutely love Allez Bakery's focaccia bread! We've picked some up previously at the stand at the Hyde Park farmers market. Today, we decided we couldn't wait for farmer market season to start, and took ourselves down to their bakery downtown. Delicious! Took it home and made chicken pesto sandwiches. Mmmmm.This shop is tiny and really all about purchasing their bread, so ambiance-wise, it's got a"This is a working bakery" vibe. Employees are helpful (cut a fresh focaccia for us since the pre-bagged selection was sold out), and busy baking things. Street parking - we happened to find a spot out front. We didn't see or try it, but apparently there's a new Allez cafe down the street if you are looking for more room to appreciate a bakery-centered bite to eat!

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.

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.

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!

Their bread is from heaven! Had it at Forno and I'll definitely be in for more soon! Hearty and delicious!

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!

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.
