This place has some of the best coffee I have tried. We also bought bread and croissants and all were really good ...
I like this place and definitely coming back for coffee every morning on this trip.
Great and fresh bakes with friendly staff, I went for breakfast and had a french toast which was one of the best I have had, not too sweet, just right.
They have a big variety of items, I wouldnt mind having breakfast at Gails's everyday.
There are two reasons I come here; the bread but mostly the carrot cake. Love their carrot cake! Too bad the portions are so small. Service is slow but ok. I have bought different bread loaf but my favourite is the dark rye.
We visited another Gail's :) and this one revived the reputation from the bad experience from the last. we had the chicken sandwich along with the ham and cheese which were great. The hot chocolate was really good and the service was very pleasing. With very casual seating. I guess this area is a home to a lot of young mothers for a reason.
I got a trio of delectable goodies that were just a-may-zing. I'm usually not a fan of sausage rolls as they're filled with some form of unidentifiable meat and cardboard pastry, but this pork roll was divine. Proper porkiness, seasoned with lots of herbs, encased in a buttery, light pastry. Dang it, I should have bought a few more to nibble on. The blueberry custard brioche was generously topped with a not-too-sweet streusel; while the hot cross bun was utter perfection - light in texture, full of spices, and sticky, shiny glaze.
This place is always packed with young families so make sure to keep an eye out in case you trip over a toddler! They make everything on site here and have a wide range of artisan and unusual breads and delicious cakes. We stopped in for a couple of coffees which were lovely and shared a couple of baked goods. The cheese straw we had was amazing, the pastry was light & crispy with a very strong cheesy flavour it's the best cheese straw I've ever had! We also had a mince pie - crunchy pastry with a sweet & citric flavour. They also do a range of bigger plates here - salads and hot sandwiches which seemed very popular.

Best Carrot cake in Clapham! I visited on a Sunday afternoon, the apple crumble pie is lovely too. All they need is some Rooibos tea!

Amazing vibe, great carrot cake and apple crumble pie.
Excellent coffee & pastry spot with free Babbachino for the kiddies
Every Gail's we have been in to has been great. Food is always fresh and tasty, and the coffee is always fantastic.
The staff are obviously well trained as all are friendly and helpful.
Never had a bad experience here.
Went to Gails yesterday and had a delicious seeded bagel with tomato and pesto and a really good size pot of tea. The service was lovely. I would highly recommend and for a special treat finish off with a cinnamon roll. Amazing
They have really good pastries. Their croissants, almond croissants and pain au chocolat are delicious!! I can’t give them 5 stars because their bread isn’t great including baguettes.
They are currently closed due to the Corona lockdown, but it looks like they deliver to your house:
Incredible Mocha, and the bread on its own is delicious. Cute place to have a coffee and sit for a while
Lots of delicious things to choose from and a nice menu. I had a really nice chia seed pudding and it was perfection! They had sold out of chocolate and almond croissants but apparently they are worth a try!
Cozy bakery/bistro with friendly atmosphere and likable staff. The coffee is outstanding, baked goods and breads are abundant, and there are even a few vegan options!
Nice coffee and food however it gets too busy and tables aren’t wiped but the staff are nice and welcoming.
Gail's is always a great place for a coffee and cake but most importantly the team are fantastic. In particular AJ the team leader, William and Carla are always incredibly friendly and welcoming, in particular to my 2.5 year old son who comes in for his daily babychino. A brilliant customer experience.
Amazing coffee! Nice people working in.
Thanks to the super friendly and smiley staff, they made my day today.
I also found my Mum's 2 favourite jams in one jar - raspberry and rose! Such an amazing combination.
Highly recommended place 🌟
Great food, lovely staff.
