Very cute bakery that serves a vast array of delicious baked goods at the best prices, optimal hygienic conditions and with a really friendly and professional staff as well .
Lovely place in Ealing Broadway as well as in Soho, relaxed ambiance and polite staff.
Tried their sourdough bread which was good too
Small, cosy place in Soho. Just a few seats inside and 2-3 tables outside so I wouldn't recommended for a big group of people. They have a good selection of breads, cakes and pastries (even savory, just a gluten free options are missing). Coffee could be better (I had a cappuccino, quality of the milk wasn't great). Overall it's a nice place to visit for a quick coffee and snack/desert. I will probably come back there again for a cup of tea or to try some pastry. #bakery #soho # breakfast #london #UK #memories
Gail’s Bakery is an artisan bakery chain in London. I’ve been to two of their stores and had some mixed results. It’s not the cheapest thing either. Gail’s Bakery do know their bread and they do a most excellent job of it. The name comes from Gail Mejia, a baker who introduced the founders to the delights of world class bakery. No longer confined to the reaches of top restaurants, you can get your fix of gourmet breadstuffs at a Gail’s near you.
Food was good, had ham and cheese croissant, come for the coffee tho. Girl knows what she is doing. Can sit outside in the alley or inside. Small but big enough.
Great spot to have breakfast and start your day in a good mood. All the pastries look delicious and homemade. Very good capuccino as well! I loved my blueberry muffin and the scones were great too!
I love going here during lunch to grab something fresh. They also do salads and juice. Their chai latte is my favourite. Service is great but when it is busy make sure you get in the line, people go crazy :P
Cute place in Soho, as always, everything is good, tasty and well-prepared. Had the beetroot and goat's cheese salad which was lovely, really well seasoned and spiced. My friend had the ham and cheese sandwich which 'tasted like biting into an old cheese factory' - a good thing apparently. Muffins contain a bit too much fat for my liking, coffee is decent. Wifi available, so you'll see plenty of people working here. Excellent service.
I was attracted to this bakery by the bright interior and abundance of breads. I was initially going to get a tart when I realised there was a small breakfast menu. They were out of shakshuka, so I had the sweet corn pancakes and an iced latte. The pancakes were delicious and simple and flavoured perfectly. The coriander on top made the dish. The iced latte was also perfect.
Hot chocolate: Hot, frothy and not too sweet. Luckily I was sat in the window which allowed me to see that I had a chin full of chocolate dust before I made a prized prat of myself.
This a small Gails, but aren't all the best places small in Soho! Gails is on the ever popular Wardour Street and was very busy at lunchtime when I arrived, luckly myself and friend managed to grab a seat as 2 people were just leaving - phew.
The smells and the food was display was very appealing and to be honest we both had difficultly choosing what to have, so of course we decided to order and section and share the treats around :)
We opted for the Crustless quiche Ricotta, feta, grated onion extravaganza, Pulled BBQ Brisket Toastie and Olive Brioche - the food was amazing and hit the mark. Oh the coffee was half bad too and we shared a carrot cake, that was moist with just the right amount of tang and sweetness for me.
I hear they have just opened a restaurant just around the courner and intend to pop in for a bit to eat.
A few years ago, before I moved to London, I remember visiting a little bakery that had a meagre selection of sandwiches but some amazing cakes. I had absolutely no idea where I was at the time (Soho, who knew?) and I always wondered whether I'd ever find out where it was. Jump forward three years and I'm looking through old photos when I see one looking out of the window of the cafe. I can just about make out a sign for Broadwick street through the rain in the pic and spend 5 minutes desperately seeking out the same view on Google Maps - BOOM, turns out it was Gail's Bakery I was at.
Looking at the menu now, I may have been wrong about the sandwich selection as this place seems to have a few to offer. What I really remember was that the cakes are lovely and in particular the chocolate fondant, albeit a little expensive. This place is a delight for a coffee and a natter if you can grab a rare table. It's the little sister of the Gail's, but rather charming.
Yummy cakes, although a small selection. The carrot cake we had was really good. Layer of cream in stead of a thick layer on the top as per most carrot cakes. The cakes was rich oin carrots and raisins. An absolute delight. We ordered chai latte but it was a bit of a disapppintment and tasted more like milk w cinnamon. :p
Amazing staff and awesome food and great location will be back! :)
Spanikopita, salmon & black barley salad, English
muffins, chocolate halva buns, kugelhopf, double chocolate cookies, brownie fingers,
dark chocolate and cherry scones (no where near as good as Ottolenghi but world's
better than Pret)
In Soho you have many many different cafes to choose from. Gail's cafe however does really stand out with all the freshly baked pretty cakes on its display.
It has quite a small seating area but that wouldn't really put you off as the design and how it's organised is very inviting. So you order your drink and cake and take seat. Although its busy, they are quick and you won't be waiting for long.
The Mocha is different from what you usually get from mainstream cafes but I didn't get to know what it is that makes it different. The cakes are all as nice as they look, fresh and delicious.
I would strongly recommend the chocolate cake if your not going for hot chocolate or Mocha.
It is definitely worth a visit if in Soho.
A diets nightmare! If you are watching the pounds. Stay away. The cupcakes are an art form. And what a great place to sit and people watch with some lovely coffee? Worth popping in for some warm breakfast which will set any tourist on their way. Or for some late afternoon wine and food after a busy day shopping.
This lovely bakery is right next door to the Corner Bedford Hotel and is amazing! If you’re staying at the hotel or in the area you really should call in and see what they have to offer.
I had an amazing breakfast of porridge, honey and blueberry’s and a cinnamon bun; it was truly beautiful food! I washed that down with a lovely mocha coffee.
You can choose to sit in with the spacious interior making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience or takeaway if you’re in a hurry. They also do deliveries to selected postcodes to home or office; get your orders in!
The atmosphere and aesthetics of the bakery are lovely and the staff were super friendly.
Based on my experience, totally recommend!
Had an almond croissants and I prefer softer croissants, not very satisfied with the texture of it. Very chill and aesthetic, I will definitely visit again and try other pastries!
Lovely bakery with great coffee and even better food. This particular location is quite small, but during our short visit in London we went to GAIL’s 4 times despite not wanting to repeat spots - their pistachio rose cake is that good. Their savoury items are quite tasty and filling. Their pricing is 10-15p cheaper for takeaway than dine in (at other locations).
We got a couple of different things—a savory scone, cinnamon roll (more like a cinnamon popover), sausage roll, and spinach and feta roll. All were pretty good, though I'd say if you could only get one, go for the scone! We also got a loaf of rosemary and potato sourdough, which was great! But their coffee is not as great—the latte was something I wouldn't get again.
This self-service cafe boasts an attractive display that caught my attention. Despite my initial desire for a cinnamon roll, I opted for the savory spinach and feta roll as I had yet to have breakfast, and it did not disappoint. The coffee also exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. However, it's worth noting that cash payments are not accepted here, and the interior space may be considered limited for some patrons. Overall, my experience at this establishment was satisfactory, but there may be room for improvement in terms of payment options and spatial capacity.
This is my absolute favourite coffee place to go to when I'm in the office. The staff are so wonderful and always greet me with a huge smile and a lovely chat now I've become a regular here. The coffee is always delicious and you can't go wrong with the baked goods. Every one I've tried has been a delight and I can't recommend this specific Gail's enough. Special shout out to Astrid who is my favourite human ever and never fails to make me smile every day.
Spoilt for choice. Massive selection of breads and pastries. Coffee is from Union. Always busy for breakfast lunch and tea. The quality is amazing. Better than Paul's imo. This location has had a refit and looks nicer. Also had the opportunity to get a 'too good to go' discounted bag at 6pm and was amazing too. Highly recommended. Please could there be more baguettes for purchase as they're always sold out by 10am.
So yummy Almond choc croissant, first time I had it. So crunchy. Shout out to the staff, went extra mile. And mum loves their hot chocolate, seems the only place she wants for her hot choc 😀
Fantastic bakery and breakfast spot!!! We travel a lot and I usually make a rule to not go back to the same place twice so that we can try multiple places. We went to Gail's twice on our short trip and I have no regrets. I was impressed by everything I tried. The almond croissants were phenomenal and the small little honey cakes were our favorite. If you prefer savory, the slider was packed full of flavor! Honestly, there wasn't an item, that our family didn't rave over. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. All-around great spot to grab breakfast and coffee.
Absolutely gorgeous, so glad we stopped in. Lovely coffee, enticing pasties, will have to come back to try more!
Kat was the most attentive server! They made our experience so relaxing and really looked after us. I will definitely be coming back! Pastries were yummy too ;)
Fantastic place to have a delicious sweet! The coffee was perfect too! The two girls were really nice and we had a perfect start for our day in london!
Their pastries are to die for! Incredible selection and delicious. I wanted EVERYTHING!!!
Cute bakery in Soho with great scones! I got the plain one with strawberry jam for 2,30 pounds. Good size and very yummy! Wasn’t crowded in a Sunday early morning. Seating spaces inside and a couple of tables outside.
The iced chai latte is to die for 🥰 will be back here again very soon to try more of the amazing menu
One of the best coffee shops we visited in years. Will come back to London just to visit this coffee shop! Friendly staff, fresh and delicious pastries. Coffees and chai out of this world.
I only tasted the scones in this bakery and they were good.
The one with raisins was very good, the plain one was a little bit on the dense side, and the cheddar and chives was ok but too buttery for me.
Very good staff and fast service in the morning:)
Consistently good coffee and lovely staff. My local when working in the area. Shout out to Astrid for being so welcoming and unflappable in the morning rush!
