"GAIL's Bakery was a phenomenal find on our recent trip to London. I'm a foodie from Portland, Oregon, so I always seek out quality food options for my family when we travel. We first stopped in for a loaf of sourdough bread so we could make quick breakfasts at the apartment. We're not big pastry eaters, but the mix of savory and sweet pastries were appealing, so we ended up coming back the next day for breakfast. We especially loved the ham and cheese croissant, but the sausage roll, pain au chocolat, and the 10 other things we tried were fantastic as well. We loved the coffee and the kombucha too. We came here six times in four days! I was shocked that we were all so satiated and had stable blood sugar eating from a bakery so often, but the sourdough process and the lower sugar content really matter. GAIL's was always bustling but we found seating, enjoyed the dog-friendly atmosphere, and staff that were willing to answer my quality and sourcing questions. The prices at GAIL's are fantastic for the quality. We just went for a similar breakfast at home and literally paid twice as much for things that were half as delicious."

Had a cappuccino and cinnamon roll and frankly both lacked. The cappuccino was more a latte…was a big fan. The focus is on ‘was’

It was 7 in the morning and a lovely guy with little braids welcomed me as if I were the best thing in his day. So kind! Great cappuccino

The barrister charged me 4.30 pounds for a take away small latte ??…. That’s not the first time that they over charge clients without realizing it . View menu

Bread and coffee are delicious. I bought and ate two bagels, and the combination was good, so I had a delicious lunch. I personally liked the iced Americano because it had a savory taste.
Teresa
There are many locations and we went into at least three of them! The plain scones were my fave! But the other bread options were really good too. The salmon with cream cheese bagel is highly recommended as well as the lemongrass ginger tea.

I didn't love the layout of the store, it isn't as cosy as I would like from a cafe. I did however try the dark hot chocolate which was very dark chocolatey! I haven't been in to many Gail's but I will revisit and give it another shot sometime. View menu

I kept coming back for the entirety of my trip in London! The consistency of the coffee is so ideal for a go-to cafe to start off your day. Also, the selection of pastries is something. I could never decide what I wanted! There’s too much to choose from. The cinnamon bun was honestly my favourite from what I’ve tried. It’s not too sweet, I loved it.
Huda
Very wonderful, all the foods are delicious, sweet and salty, delicious and of great variety.. The dried tomato and pesto quiche is delicious. The egg sandwich is excellent. The ricotta and strawberries are very sweet. Really delicious. Everything they have is worth trying.. The tea is in a jug and is enough for two to three people, and it is heavy enough for milk. There are indoor sessions and in the basement. The service is excellent and fast.
