GAIL's Bakery Dulwich Village

The best pastries and baked goods around. Always busy at the weekends. I’d say coffee is slightly better at Redemption down the road, but Gail’s is a cornerstone of the Dulwich Village area. It’s hard to resist popping in when the smell of freshly baked croissants and cinnamon buns can be smelt from a block away.

This Gail’s also has outside seating so great for anyone with a dog or for enjoying a sunny day. If it’s really lovely weather, get your coffee and pastry to go and eat it in Dulwich Park just 5 mins away.

Extremely busy, Good coffee, great baked goods, customer service needs work.

I saw a customer asked to get up and leave because they were seated alone outside (with coffee and a snack); reason: "a family with a dog has paid for eat in, but can't be sat inside, hence this seat is needed"

I went on a busy Saturday morning and there wasn’t a place to sit. I had two sandwiches, one was really good and tasty. But the second one the bagel was a bit stale considering the price.

We love Gail's pastries - we tend to have them for birthday treats and then go mad on their delicious croissants, cinnamon buns and fabulous bread. Unfortunately for the second time in the last few month's they omitted to include all the items - arrived home to find no cinnamon buns! So disappointed but can't really drive back when family gathered round ready for brunch... So careless.

To be honest with you this is nice place with nice coffee and cakes I’ve never had a problem here and if I did trust me it would be addressed instantly I just think there are to many people that are just to picky or just love to moan about nothing so do your self a favour and stop talking rubbish. Gail’s is lovely

Great staff, hot chocolate, coffee and food. Lovely ambiance. Being a confined cramped place during the mornings suggest 2 things: (1) notice be put and enforced that it be "laptop free" to prevent hogging of a tables with a cup of coffee - have seen this rule in many other coffee shops.(2) Dogs be kept out for hygiene. Wishing the team all the best.

I have visited here twice now. The place is always busy but the staff are quick with the orders. The food is overpriced at times and the quality not always up to expectations. For example, I ordered a hot chocolate that sounded great from the menu but it arrived in the smallest cup and was verily mildly chocolatey. Appropriate for a child maybe but not what I was expecting.

Stunning!

Edit: Great selection of freshly baked bread - proved to be very tasty as well.
Ready to go sandwiches - the chicken burger and the avocado & salmon were incredibly tasty.
Prompt customer service with a nice smile.
Will definitely revisit each time I'm nearby!
