My husband and I are visiting from Australia and stopped by the cafe for breakfast. The blueberry pancakes are some of the best we have ever had!! Definitely recommend �
The best bakery ever! The seeded sour dough is out of this world. The pastries are to die for and the staff are attentive and courteous. 10 out of 10!
Came here all the way from Canada 8 months ago by chance and found the most delicious sausage roll in my life! Came back today and had the same incredible experience and taste and my girlfriend tried it this time and had that same feeling! What Ana amazing quick and comfortable atmosphere and incredible variety as well!
I believe GAIL'S bakery is a gem in London. The service at the counter/checkout is very quick (they know how to deal when it gets really busy), the staff is good but I didn't appreciate that one of the girls came to clear and clean our table while our food was still on the tray. The selection is outstanding and everything looks (and is) scrumptious. We tasted the beef bagel, the chicken burger, the chicken bacon and chestnut samosa, the cinnamon roll, the blueberry and custard cake. The coffee is good but their star is the bakery. Just great! Can't wait to go back to London and eat there at least once a day!!
I've been to a few Gail's Bakery and this one in Wanstead did not disappoint. I popped in for a brunch on a weekday and was impressed with the overall experience. Although it was busy, the bakery had ample space in the main area as well as an additional room and upstairs. The fresh bakery smell was delightful, and it set the mood for a wonderful meal.
I ordered the avocado sourdough with salmon, and I must say it was one of the best meals I have had in a while. The food felt well prepared, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. It was evident that they used high-quality ingredients in their dishes.
The coffee was also a highlight of the meal. It was better than most high street coffees and tasted absolutely divine. The staff were attentive and always on hand to ensure we had everything we needed.
Overall, my experience at Gail's Bakery was fantastic, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a great brunch spot in Wanstead. The quality of the food and coffee, the ambiance, and the service were all top-notch. I look forward to coming back to this bakery again soon
Lovely cakes and savouries. I particularly enjoyed the Latte here. Seating is available. We went to sit upstairs but it was full of students studying at their laptops...it almost felt like a library as it was so quite so we went back downstairs again and found a seat there. Would come back again though.
I had such a great time at this place! The atmosphere was super welcoming and the staff was so friendly and upbeat. They didn't let any entitled customers get them down, but they still treated everyone with respect. The food was amazing, too. I had the pastrami bagel and it was so delicious, I'm still thinking about it! And I love that they have a click and collect option, so you can order ahead and skip the line. I'm definitely going back soon!

I've been visiting Wanstead quite a few times now and here's what I noticed:
- Amazing bread selection, but sells out quite fast!
- They have milk alternatives: Soya and Oat (40p extra) , but no syrups only Chai! Their amazing Dirty chai latte with soy milk is delicious! They even have decaf beans to make any decaf coffee.
Coffee varies from 2.90 to 3.20 and have small or regular size. They accept reusable cups.
- The staff were lovely and welcoming, had a great conversation with them.
- Not so much vegan options, a few sweets/cakes and breakfast pots, avocado chickpea sandwich and salad, and Avo on Toast.
- One gluten free chocolate cake, a flourless squash pie and small bread.
- Upstairs seating area is usually quiet to do some work or even terrace.
- They do have upstairs bathroom and baby changing facility in downstairs one.
The coffee cup is really nice. Anna liked it so much.
Also the coffee is great.
I really enjoyed my time at Gails this morning! I highly recommend the bacon and egg muffin! The muffin was soft and overall flavoursome. The salsa is absolute incredible and delicious, it accompanied the muffin really well! I additionally ordered the blueberry pancakes likewise worthy of the order. The atmosphere is enjoyable, this is a hidden gem of Wanstead!
It’s got excellent bread and other ingredients prepared well. Hygiene-perfect, coffee-good.
Staff not the friendliest and always a impersonal experience, you feel rushed and like you are just a number. Would be nice to be greeted and showed more care and attention. Despite this the coffee is good and the cheese twists are exquisite. The salad boxes a little pricey but delicious.
