Gail's Bakery

[Ringgogo]

Do you have these near you ? Just sat in one - what an utter soulless place !

Lovely pastries but what a hype !

Remind me not to visit again

The feta and spinach roll is lovely as is the mini avocado and chickpea roll

i quite like it as a treat

it’s too spenny to go there often

Love the one near us

Tory Greggs

lolll the only coffee worse

Oh come on! Their prices are ridiculous.

It’s so not!

Our Gail’s is super busy always. Can’t knock it in any way .
A bit in the spendy side but always delicious.

Ours too. Cinnamon buns are always great, the lunchtime type food has always been excellent in ours and I really like the small sized cakes - I like having one really delicious cake that isn’t huge and v calorific (for a cake!). I do agree that the coffee is not as good as other places though, but i will put up with it for the nice cakes.

Ours is nice and I think sells quite interesting food.

We have one. It's a few doors down from a far superior and cheaper independent bakery. However Gail's is open 7.30-5 daily, whereas the better place only opens 2 days a week, so from time to time I do use it.

Ours opened virtually next door to a local bakery that had been there years. Local bakery has now gone out of business and closed.

It really is

Last time I went I got something like a coffee, a veg/sage slice thing (totally under seasoned) and a pack of madeleines, which were no better than Bonne Maman ones, and certainly not a patch on the ones my pastry chef husband makes. It was something nuts like £16! To take away! Madness. It was across the road from my office and next to the car park which was the only reason I went. Genuinely, I think it’s worse than Greggs. The brown butter financiers - someone gave me one once and I took a bite and it went in the bin. Rank.

Last time I was in I had a sandwich and drink for about £11 which when they’re much better than most places, I don’t think it’s expensive for lunch.

What would that be in Pret? Around £8?

I prefer Pret to Gail’s for sure. Thankful where I work now has Pret but no Gail’s

No idea. I don’t use our local pret as the staff were extremely rude to a friend who asked about allergy information. I don’t think £11 is expensive for lunch and the vegan stuff is really good.

I’ve not heard of Gail’s. I assume it’s a new chain? Pret hasn’t even made its way to where I am so I doubt I’ll come across one for a while.

Coughs and splutters in Scottish. £11 fucking quid? That’s why they haven’t opened in Scotland then - we are not daft enough to pay those kind of ridiculous prices!
My local lovely independent coffee shop does a range of delicious sandwiches with a tea or coffee for £6 and you can sit in on their comfy sofas too.

Coffee is average

Ive tried a few of the cakes and they're all incredibly dry

Overpriced

There doesn't seem to be one of these in Lancashire yet thank god

Not in ours it's not, it's in shelves behind the counter.

When I say 'ours' - it's a town over & parking isn't that convenient & there arel lovely independents too, so I rarely eat there, but sometimes buy something to take home.

EDIT: sorry I've just noticed the date of your post, hadn't realised f sad nine had revived a ZOMBIE thread!

Pecan crumble cake. I wonder if they all do that? I feel a visit coming on next week!

You won't get coffee & cake for under £8 anywhere around here. Probably just as well, it helps me not to have cake very often!

Avocado & chickpea roll you say?

At this rate I may need one you to get the fire brigade to come & get me out of there!

No it really isn't.
