Why we love this place
GAIL’s is an artisan bakery founded by Gail Mejia, a trailblazing woman who united London’s finest bakers in the 1990s. Known for its handmade sourdough, GAIL’s is dedicated to sustainability, with their Waste Not range reimagining unsold bread into new treats. This innovative approach is just one way they minimize waste and support small producers. At the Notting Hill location, the offerings go beyond bread and pastries, featuring chia pudding, Greek yogurt, granola, kefir, and pressed juices. Their commitment to quality ingredients, sourced locally and seasonally, remains at the heart of every item on the menu. With over 130 locations, GAIL’s stays true to its philosophy of making good food and creating welcoming spaces that customers love. Whether it’s their sourdough, award-winning croissants, or artisanal coffee, each visit to GAIL’s is a celebration of craftsmanship and sustainability.
