Gail's Artisan Bakery

Awful place. Asked for extra hot skinny flat white. Got a tepid skinny latte. First World problem but annoying. Worse was the truly awful overnight oats with raspberry jam and almond butter. One of the very worst messes I have ever eaten. Truly totally tasteless mushy and bland. What should be a delightful healthy taste was ruined by the muppets at Gail's experiment kitchen. Who said aloud butter works with oats. Other choices were just as poor...and tasteless. I have gone before but this experience was truly miserable. If you want a healthy taste breakfast go to Pret. This place is awful.

In short: Food was cold, walls were chipped and marked, staff rude, tables left uncleaned, stained tea cup, chipped tea pot spout, filthy toilet and windows. For an upmarket artisan coffee branch, spending over £18 on my order for one, this isn 't the experience I should accept ....

Gail's in general is great but the staff at this branch is just dreadful, a blonde lady in particular there is no need for them to be so consistently rude. Today takes the biscuit when an off duty member of staff (young male spiky blonde hair) pushed in front of three of us queueing to ask for free food for him and his girlfriend which the staff were happy to comply with before then forgetting to make my drinks a shame as the team used to be rather lovely

Have they stopped using butter in Gail’s croissants? Dry…definitely will refrain from getting croissants here

First visit to Barnes and Gail’s. Unless I am eating breakfast I tend to rate cafes based on one item. Their scones. And I am happy to report that this morning I had my best scone probably ever but certainly in years. And I eat a lot of scones in a wide variety of places. There was also a wide variety of other meals to choose from. I think most would be satisfied. Of course to get a five star the premises have to match and I thought the layout of the place was excellent. Wide opening doors provided plenty of fresh air on a boiling day in London. Service fully acceptable and reasonably friendly. Certainly if you want a fruit scone and more) I highly recommend here.
