I love coming here! Weather you want a sit down breakfast or take away, the products are cooked on site and very very tasty! The staff are willing to go above and beyond and that is what distinguishes this place from nearby competition!
Love having my breakfast at Gail’s in Balham.
Team is always smiling and genuinely happy.
Service is always smooth and food is fresh every day
Love the collection of savoury and sweet items as well as the coffee. Service is very good. Nice atmosphere, even if it is a chain. Benches to work from as well as regular tables.
Excellent as always. Service fantastic. The only downside is that it's so popular that it's difficult to get a seat on weekends...the sign of a very good place I guess. Never had a bad experience at Gails.
I have always been a fan of Gail's breads especially since their efforts to deliver breads to NHS Staff during COVID19.
But only recently did I start having coffee here and I absolutely love it.
I usually avoid having coffee in chain stores and prefer artisan coffee in small independent coffee shops but, Gail's coffees is just perfect and the bite sized buns with Chickpeas and avocado are just the perfect accompaniment which I can find nowhere else! I also love their feta cheese and olive pastries but they can be quite rare to find.
You can tell by the perpetual long queues outside how popular their bakery are.
Customer service is excellent. The staff are friendly and organised, there is also plenty of space if you want to bring your laptop and study too!
Stopped off with the wife for a coffee and cake. Absolutely wonderful cakes and a fantastic display of sandwiches and rolls...tempted, but we were on our way for Easter lunch! We have eaten their cakes and bread before, and they are delicious. Today we had a cinnamon bun and an almond croissant along with a Cappuccino each, as we relaxed whilst spending a little time people watching. Highly recommended.
Come here quiet regularly at various times and have always found the service to be efficient and polite. The bread and pastries range is very good. I have had brunch quiet a few times and can recommend the porridge with honey and blueberries aswell as the French Toast. At peak times it can be busy however the queue does move and its only to be expected for its location so close to Balham st. Parking is also pretty good where u can park for an hour in close by during weekdays or park at Sainsburys which is jist 5mins away for 2hrs for free.
Quite simply one of the best smaller modern foodie havens
Full of deliciousness, pastries and multitude of options to snack, nibble and graze on
Everything there is so well presented and the quality is reflected throughout
From hot drinks to iced delights, such as the newly discovered chilled chai latte
Give Gail’s a go, you won’t be disappointed
Great coffee! I’d suggest sitting near the ovens so you can take in all the amazing smells without consuming any of the calories.
Nice spot for a quick cuppa and a sweet treat, or equally for some lunch that is freshly baked/made.
