Still wonderful in late July 2025! Cashless shops now so don't try paying with money. Dogs are welcome which is really lovely for nice dog owners! I've been buying Gail's bread for years from a branch of Waitrose. I now buy bread and pastries from this branch in Muswell Hill. We munch our way through bread and 6 to 8 baguettes most weeks, and lots of pastries. The staff seem never to be the same as the last visit and vary in their attentiveness. I hadn't 'eaten in' before this visit and it was the first time I've tried one of their coffee houses. I had a pastry and a coffee that was really very good. It's not cheap but it's nicer than the chain coffee shops you find in most high streets and their bread is lovely. I love the black olive Ciabatta and the baguettes. For a chain of 90 odd shops it retains a lovely feel. I don't work for Gail's. Thank you Gails.

I’ve been coming to this Gails’ for years and it is predominantly the staff’s service and the atmosphere they create why I come back.

Not pleased. There is a very angry female staff serving customers.
