What people say, in short

Allez's breakfast sandwich draws repeated praise, but some diners find it soggy, too sweet or overhyped. Coffee opinions split too: one customer praises the espresso and pour-overs, while another dislikes the coffee despite returning for the sandwich. Pastries and matcha have fans. Crowding and price are additional individual caveats.
