Breakfast sandwich with hash brown, bacon, egg, aioli, jam
"Allez Cafe's food menu is just a few pastries and one breakfast sandwich. But everything at this small cafe is excellent. The baked goods are well-made and interesting, from fluffy donuts filled with corn-flavored cream to an earl gray cruller with candied rose petals. And the breakfast sandwich is a must-order—a delicious combination of flavors from bacon, egg, gouda, and a hashbrown, plus ramp aioli and a sweet and spicy jalapeño jam. There aren't too many tables, but if there’s a spot open, grab it. Allez Cafe's breakfast sandwich is worth savoring." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
"The breakfast sandwich is the only savory item at Allez Cafe in Bucktown (everything else is sweet pastries). And as the sole representative of Team Savory, it has a ton of responsibility. But it doesn’t crack under pressure. The texture of crispy bacon and a hashbrown are complemented by a fluffy egg and potato bun, while sweet and spicy jalapeño jam along with ramp aioli balances out the other savory components." - john ringor, veda kilaru
"Allez Cafe only has a handful of things on the short food menu, but everything at this Bucktown spot is excellent. The baked goods are well-made and interesting, like fluffy donuts filled with corn-flavored cream, or an earl gray cruller with candied rose petals. And the breakfast sandwich is a must-order—there’s a unique balance of flavors from bacon, egg, gouda, a hashbrown, plus ramp aioli and a sweet and spicy jalapeño jam. Seats are limited, but if there’s a spot available, grab it—you’ll want to be sitting down to briefly escape reality while eating that sandwich." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"In Bucktown, the lines are out the door on weekends at Allez Cafe, the restaurant attached to Ambrosia Foods, a caterer. Allez has a few tables and chairs so customers can try the breakfast sandwich (Martin’s potato roll, hashbrown cake, thick-cut bacon glazed in jalapeño jam, steamed egg, and aioli). It’s one of the sandwiches that’s led to an egg sandwich renaissance in Chicago." - Ashok Selvam
