GAIL's Bakery Notting Hill

Service was friendly but quite slow, we ordered a toasty which was very basic and bland and took 20' at least. The cinnamon bun and ham & cheese croissant were ok. Coffee was decent. The tables were dirty. For the price we expected better.

Pretty long line to order, but a wonderful atmosphere. Thanks for the breakfast.

I like this branch as it is spacious and nice to sit in and enjoy my food, staff are always nice here as well. The reason I gave a 4 stars is last time I tried the chicken Parmesan bun and It didn’t taste nice As chicken was dry.

Love breakfast here. Sausage roll, oats and coffees were all the perfect choice for a cold morning. Don't skip on the jams.

Staff were kind and helpful while taking your order.

We had a nice breakfast at this location, paid a bit more than what we expected but was okay.

2 Things that could be done better were; having the option to warm up our pastries, therefore enjoying them more.

And, more pastry on sausage roll would definitely be nicer, see image attached. Especially as its not warm, you end up eating a cold sausage with some pastry on it.

If Gail’s is a London institution, then Gail’s on portobello road is its grand temple. It’s the pit stop for ecstatic shoppers who just struck a bargain at the fur shop, the tourists taking a break from the photo shoots, and the locals craving a little sit down reverie with an appetizing morsel.

Gail’s on portobello road is always buzzing with life and action. Good luck finding a place to sit on a Saturday early afternoon, at the paroxysm of market hours.

The food is always the same, and always good. My all time favorites:
- The borequitas: these little puff pastries filled with feta cheese and olive and so delicious that they sell out in the early hours. They’re oily, crunchy, and very satisfying, despite their small size
- The mozzarella and pesto focaccia: this is a sandwich that will make you say grace to its great Italian inventors at every bite
- The honey cake: a little delicatessen, this small piece is less heavy than the rest of the sugary spread, but definitely hits the spot

New favourite bakery in all of London! Each item we tried (there were a lot) was to die for. Pastries are constantly being made freshly and there is so many to choose from. If you are planning to go to Notting Hill, skip your breakfast and eat your way through the menu.

Outstanding bakery. Every Gail's is great and this is no exception - cakes and pastries are the thing to order, along with a coffee. All perfect. Pistachio cake an interesting choice and not too sweet (see pictured).
