The forecast calls for iced drinks.
Whether you’re stopping by for a Plum Matcha, a Black Sesame or a Tiramisu Cold Brew, we’ve got something cold waiting for you.
Perfect for warm walks, sunny lunch breaks and finding a shady spot for a few quiet minutes.

When it gets this hot, a shaded spot and something cold to drink is all you really need. We have hidden garden spaces at many our bakeries: tucked-away spots where you can slow down, have lunch, or just chill for a while.
We’ve got shaded tables at many of our bakeries, but here are some of our favourite spots: Ely, Godalming, Radlett, Marlow, Hitchin, St Margarets, Victoria Park, Summertown, Mill Hill, Clifton Road, and Clapham Old Town.
Lunch al fresco could be a lovely way to treat your dad too, if you’re celebrating Father’s Day this weekend.

On Wednesday, we welcomed friends to our home in Camden to celebrate our new Summer Menu.
A long colourful table took over our local square, where we served huge platters of summertime salads, bright cocktails and seasonal cakes and our artist in residence brought to life the table with her beautiful drawings.
People talked long into the evening, rekindling old connections and making new ones. It finally feels like summer is here. We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering.

A summer table, shared properly.
This week’s preview brought together friends of GAIL’s for an evening of live music, seasonal dishes and drawings by Emma Cantley. There’s something special about gathering outdoors in summer. Passing plates, pouring another glass, making room for one more person. The small rituals that turn food into connection.
Thank you for spending the evening with us.

We pour a lot of love and work into our previews. Behind the scenes and long before the evening, we’re cooking, prepping, flower arranging, table setting, drawing, drink filling and of course, weather checking.
Here’s a sneak peek at our process.

What people say
GAIL's Bakery in Lichfield Terrace, Richmond is a must-visit for anyone who loves good food. Their commitment to using only the best ingredients is evident in every bite. Take their San Francisco loaf, for example, made with just flour, yoghurt, milk and water. This bread not only tastes delicious but also promotes gut health.
Their Saturday bun run is another highlight - golden croissant pastry filled with cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, then tossed in cinnamon sugar. It's the perfect treat to start your weekend off right.
If you're looking for something more substantial, try their Tomato and Artichoke Quiche or their smoked salmon and pastrami bagels. Both are bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients.
And let's not forget about dessert! GAIL's Strawberry and Ricotta cakes are back in the bakery - a polenta and ricotta cake topped with sliced strawberries that are freshly baked throughout the day.
Overall, GAIL's Bakery is a fantastic spot for breakfast, brunch or just a quick coffee break. With their commitment to quality ingredients and delicious flavors, it's no wonder they have such a loyal following.
